Krugman misses the boat

On March 29, Paul Krugman of the New York Times warned that liberal politicians will soon have to fear asassination from the religious right. Three days later, the brother of a student partially paralyzed in a school shooting on March 21 told a local TV station that the shooter had asked students "if they believed in God. If they said yes, they got shot -- if no, Weise walked away."

It's a measure of the smug self-righteousness of militant secularists that they delusionally fantasize themselves to be physically endangered while ignoring hard evidence directly contrary to their fantasies.
