Bigotry on the Op-Ed Page?

Just because you view large numbers of American Christians with fear, suspicion, and contempt doesn't exclude you from access to The State's Opinion page. America's Worst Newspaper publishes a little gem from Paul Krugman today:

Democratic societies have a hard time dealing with extremists in their midst ...

[This is] true of the United States, where dangerous extremists belong to the majority religion and the majority ethnic group and wield great political influence.

And here's the clincher:

America is not yet a place where liberal politicians, and even conservatives who are not sufficiently hard-line, fear assassination. But unless moderates take a stand against the growing power of domestic extremists, it can happen here.

So there you have it. Paul Krugman submits a column comparing conservative Christians in America to murderous Islamic extremists in Europe and no one at The State bats an eye.
