The Left's rejection of truth and moral absolutes have left them with no leg to stand on. All they can say about Intelligent Design is they think its premises contradict science. But post-modern epistemology says truth is relative and that its culturally bound. So it doesn't matter what people believe in because every person has to figure that out for themselves. There are rational arguments to make against ID but the Left won't make them for then they'd have to give their post-modernist dogma. And they show no signs of doing so.

And so, instead of a weapon which helps them, it becomes to them a sword of damocles...; maybe that metaphor is a stretch...

I don't know if the author is a leftist or not, but I think you missed an essential aspect of this article: The article assumes that postmodernist epistemology is a bad thing.
