The Coulter Hoax: How Ann Coulter Exposed the Intelligent Design Movement

This is a classic... Coulter gets totally punked in it...

Some choice exerpts:

Coulter has very cleverly written a fake criticism of evolution, much like the way NYU physicist Alan Sokal in 1996 published a fake physics article in a literary journal, an affair that has become known as the “Sokal hoax.” A self-proclaimed “old unabashed leftist,” Sokal was disturbed by the sloppily antiscientific, postmodernistic mentality that had started to replace reason and rationality within the academic left and ingeniously made his point by managing to get his nonsense article published by the very people he wished to expose.

On occasion, Coulter’s satire is quite esoteric. Such is the case when she states, “Behe disproved evolution—unless evolution is simply a nondisprovable pseudoscience, like astrology.” To understand the subtle linking of Behe to astrology, one must be familiar with Behe’s testimony in the Dover trial in which he had to concede that if intelligent design was accepted as science, one must also accept astrology.

As for the fossil record, finally, Coulter bluntly states that it carries “no evidence” and supports this claim by jokingly referring to the authority of a Phillip Johnson, who is a lawyer!

Seems kind of heavy lately.

I love the last paragraph. Coulter's writing is "wonderfully multilayered". :rofl:

The excrement floats on top.

Peter Olofsson a fag. She's a mean and hateful person that says whatever she thinks will get a reaction. I think the less people pay attention to her, the more likely she will just melt away into the woodwork.

How can you tell the difference between a "real conservative" and someone pretending to be a conservative as satire? When Colbert first started lots of conservatives actually thought he was "one of them". You can't make this stuff up.

Andy? Is that you?

Faux last night as I was flipping the channels......she called Imus a liberal..........

Something about how only the Africans couldn't get a genocide right. Truly despicable. It made the OP/ED pages of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune this morning.
