It appears Coulter's knowledge of evolution (and the certainty with which she spouts) is on a par with her knowledge of the Vietnam War.

In what looks like a fit of bravado, Dembski has once again reiterated his responsibility for any mistakes in the evolution chapters of Ann Coulter's new book. He's essentially saying "bring it on":
In April I announced on this blog Ann Coulter's then forthcoming book GODLESS (go here). There I…
I just want to make one thing clear. When Ann Coulter talks about her Giant Raccoon Flatulence Theory, she's talking about me. Don't let anyone else tell you that they are a giant flatulent raccoon. They're all just a bunch of wannabes. For I am the One True Giant Flatulent Raccoon.
Allow me to…
A couple of days ago, on the Day of the Beast (6/6/06), Ann Coulter took the opportunity to unleash yet another spray of spittle-drenched attacks on liberals (Godless: The Church of Liberalism) into bookstores across the nation. As is her schtick, she's made quite the stir over the airwaves by…
PZ recently brought up Ann Coulter's new book. A couple other Seed bloggers have mentioned Dembski's association with Coulter, and his pride at having assisted her with writing the evolution chapter of her new pustule book entitled "Godless". Recent events lead me to wonder whether that was a…
It's this very clip that makes me so frustrated. It's quite old now, and it got a lot of attention when the episode of CBC 's "Fifth Estate" first aired. Then it was a central part of a bafflingly positive feature on Coulter in Time magazine about a year ago.
Almost everything she writes or says is wrong, and yet no matter how much attention is drawn to her errors, she seems to suffer no loss of credibility and keeps getting invited to talk on the MSM. What else can we do?
IIRC, she claimed in the end that she was right and that the Fifth Estate guy was just an "airhead". Her reasoning? Some Canadians crossed the border on their own and volunteered.
Er...what? How can anyone possibly think that Canada sent troops to Vietnam? The classic choices for a draftee in the Vietnam conflict were 1)Join the army, 2)Go to jail, 3)Flee to Canada.
Indeed they did. As many Canadians also crossed the border and fought in the Civil War on both sides, although primarily Union (although I guess at that time they were technically still British citizens). And some fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Even though Canada was not a part of the Coalition of the Willing, still about 30 Canadian troops detached to U.S. units at the time were sent to Iraq with them. So by Coulters calculus, Canada also fought in the Iraq War II (surprise) and the American Civil War (bigger surprise).
I'm amazed anyone actually takes seriously a word she says. Has she ever had even one interesting or thoughtful insight? Other right wing commentators can manage it once in a while. Not Bill O'Reilly of course, but some others.
She's dumb
