Has anybody else seen this smackdown of Coulter's
attack on Darwin? If not, it is long read but good. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607070010

Just a snippet,

According to right-wing pundit Ann Coulter, "flatulent raccoon theory" is as valid as Darwinian evolution. On Page 214 of her new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, she states:

Throw in enough words like imagine, perhaps, and might have -- and you've got yourself a scientific theory! How about this: Imagine a giant raccoon passed gas and perhaps the resulting gas might have created the vast variety of life we see on Earth. And if you don't accept the giant raccoon flatulence theory for the origin of life, you must be a fundamentalist Christian nut who believes the Earth is flat. That's basically how the argument for evolution goes .

1. To be a modern republican requires ignorance and arrogance
beyond that which allows for reasoned thought.


Oh ya!, it helps to be bat shit crazy too.

2. that's kind of ironic
I mean that paragraph could be equally used by either side couldn't it?

Just change it slightly.

But Ann Coulter is not interested in dealing intellectually with people she disagrees with - she's jsut interested in slamming into them.

3. There are plenty of facts later in the article.
I just picked a paragraph with some good rhetoric.

6. The Flatulent Raccoon is the sworn enemy of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
