When the Republican candidates lay in shambles, you can always count on their spokesman to take on "At least we aren't Obama' as their fall back propaganda.    It's a strategy that has certainly worked to galvanize their minority opinion, but will do zero to improve the chance of significant political action by Republicans in the future.  

It's called political propaganda.   Krauthammer wants to pick up the offensive and demonize the opponent.   I suppose that's what you do when your own party hasn't offered a viable candidate that Krauthammer can support.   Sad, his wealth and power sits in the hands of a party in serious decline at the moment and this 'small' personal attack only diminishes his stature as a national commentator.
