There are people out there so wedded to the theory, that it's become their lodestar and they can't stomach any criticism of it. For them, even the slightest questioning of the ToE is like taking the Lord's name in vain. Oh, puh-leaze... I've got nothing at all against legitimate criticism. It's the lies and gross misrepresentations used to dishonestly attack it I have "no stomach for", in exactly the same way that we conservatives have "no stomach for" Michael Moore's propaganda, and for exactly the same reasons. Those of us who value truth and honest discourse have our stomachs churned by liars and charlatans, and there are plenty of them in the anti-evolution movement. Coulter's book just parrots a big batch of the usual twaddle that anti-evolutionists use over and over again no matter how often it has been corrected, debunked, and exposed.

Yep, disgusting isn't it! And Coulter didn't even write that section of her stupid book, what a disgusting ripoff!

Precisely. Any conservative who finds Coulter's lies to be acceptable forfeits any standing to (for example) criticize liberals for supporting Moore.
