"And this means that the hundreds of thousands of Americans who put Coulter at the top of the best-seller lists see evolution as a national menace. "

"Not "hundreds of thousands". Don't be ridiculous! It's more like 77% of the population. It's hundreds of millions that don't buy evolution."

You mean sales of Coulter's book has reached ~231,000,000?

You have evidence of this I hope.

"You mean sales of Coulter's book has reached ~231,000,000? "

Ah, I see. I read that as "hundreds of thousands ...see evolution as a national menace", which of course greatly minimizes the number of American with a disdain for evolution. But I see that I read it wrong.

However, I suspect that the intent of the author's sentence, was to minimize the number of evolution supporters by inference, even though the phrase "who put Coulter at the top of the best seller lists" does make it technically correct.
