Twins!

The situation on the right wing must be getting bad when you can't even tell Jack Kemp and Phyllis Schlafly apart anymore.

Jack Kemp and Phyllis Schlafly--One Mind, or One Ghost Writer?
Cut-and-paste creationism? Yesterday I pointed readers to a column attacking evolution by Jack Kemp on the web site Town Hall. Today a sharp-eyed commenter pointed out that it is almost entirely identical to a column from Phyllis Schlafly from August 16 on the Eagle Forum. I don't know if these…
Jack Kemp Phillis Schlafly: Evolution as Evil Plot
From his latest column: Liberals see the political value to teaching evolution in school, as it makes teachers and children think they are no more special than animals. Childhood joy and ambition can turn into depression as children learn to reject that they were created in the image of God. He may…
Ms. Schlafly, You Receive an F
Phyllis Schlafly has suddenly become interested in evolution! She has written the most staggering display of buffoonery on the subject that I've read in a long time. She can't even tell the difference between Darwin and Lamarck--seriously. At least Steve Reuland at Panda's Thumb can dismantle this…
Fun with the Conservapedia
The gang has been examining Conservapedia, "the conservative encyclopedia you can trust" (unlike Wikipedia). There's much fun to be had, like the debate over: "Crusades … Good or Bad?," featuring Conservapedia creator Andrew Schlafly (son of Phyllis Schlafly) arguing: I don't see anything wrong…

Ahh the great science minds of the right. So honest and forthright.

Hypocritical MFs. Who listen to the tools anymore?

I went to take a look at the pieces by Schlafly and Kemp. I wonder if some more knowledgeable than I can figure out who actually wrote this drivel. Now I just feel dirty... must purge all temporary internet files from my computer...

And they are slightly different, they are not word for word duplications.

So who did write it. And how lame do you have to be to not even write your own opinion pieces?

What's truely frightening about this is that the commenters at Townhall just passed off the possible plagiarism with a "who cares?" and have gone right back to their ranting about the "lack of evidence" for evolution. Gives quite an insight into the creationist mind, doesn't it? They can't or won't even look at the vast amount of data on evolution (even to the point of wondering "where it all is if this is real science") and when confronted with a direct piece of verifiable data that calls what they've been so highly praising into question (Kemp's supposed article) they simple shrug and ignore it as if it wasn't relevant. With selective brain filters like that, how can we ever convince these people?

Yes, now watch these two paragons scramble to explain away their little bastard at the, er, Deliverance family reunion, but they can never deny that it was evolution that brought these two lovebirds together. Awww.

Shower? Hell, I need sandpaper...

The Family says that the little shaver belongs to Schlafly only, and was mistakenly posted under Kemp's name by those pros over at Town Hall.

Oh, yes. "On vacation," huh? Ever notice that Jack and Phyl are never in the same room together?

Who? What? I'm sorry, I just can't tell any two frauds apart any longer. There are too many to keep track of these days and they're all doing basically the same thing anyway. Learning all their names seems like a futile exercise to me.

But of course, that's just my two cents.
