Best line in a great column!
Remind me to miss Krugman's economics "textbook" a surefire winner.
He also hits it on the head when he says:
"Their clever trick is to defend their hatred of the religious by calling it a hatred of bigotry itself — a rationalization no liberal would tolerate from any other kind of bigot."
..and this is also why for a liberal, any means justify the ends. It's kinda funny...because these are the people who actually act like they are the ones doing God's work.
