"When a thoroughly ideological Darwinist like Richard Dawkins claims, "The theory is about as much in doubt as that the earth goes round the sun," he does not state a fact, but merely aims to discredit a priori anyone who dares to express reservations about evolution."

The article's author's aspersions aside, do you not consider statements such as this, by Dawkins to be reckless?

I don't know if "reckless" is the right term. "Desperate" may be more like it. He can't prove to anyone's satisfaction the fact of evolution, so Dawkins resorts to insult as his main weapon of debate.
