Ms. Coulter also says that evolutionists say whales evolved from bears

In North America the black bear was seen by Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale.

Wild speculation by someone at the dawn of evolutionary biology aside, we now know the route of evolution of whales and know while that hypothesis is interesting, it doesn't fit at all with reality.
