Italics and all?

What does "italics and all" mean?

Background info:

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times, Peter Steinfels wrote that Harris's Letter and Dawkins's The God Delusion were receiving criticism "not primarily, it should be pointed out, from the pious, which would hardly be noteworthy, but from avowed atheists as well as scientists and philosophers writing in publications like The New Republic and The New York Review of Books, not known as cells in the vast God-fearing conspiracy."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-13} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Novak, a Catholic philosopher, wrote in the conservative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Review that "[t]he letter that Harris claims is intended for a Christian nation is in fact wholly uninterested in Christianity on any level, is hugely ignorant, and essentially represents his own love letter to himself, on account of his being superior to the stupid citizens among whom he lives."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-14} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Criterion described Letter as condescending, saying "Harris is too choked on bile, or at best incredulity ('we stand dumbstruck by you,' he says, italics and all) to admit that his addressees are worth speaking with. This is in part because his chosen antagonist is 'Christianity at its most divisive, injurious, and retrograde' even though it's questionable whether anything was ever accomplished by attacking a system at its most 'retrograde.' "^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-15} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publishers_Weekly characterized Letter as "sometimes simplistic and misguided." The review elaborates that "Harris overstates his case by misunderstanding religious faith, as when he makes the audaciously naïve statement that 'mysticism is a rational enterprise; religion is not.'
