It's time to invoke Godwin's Rule on medved again. The first person to accuse opponents of being Nazi's automatically loses.

I'm not sure that it applies, because this isn't USENET and Godwin's Law was written specifically for USENET. Still, a web-forum might be a suitable analogue, as such might not have existed when the Law was first written. Perhaps it needs to be revised.

In any case, medved's collection of links is nothing more than argument from the consequeneces. He brings up unpleasant people and tries to link their alleged belief in evolution with their abhorrent behaviour and he tries to link bad ideas to evolution (when at most they were the result of morons trying to turn a biological system into a social construct -- which doesn't work) and apparently trying to argue that somehow evolution is falsified because it can give people bad ideas. Unfortunately for medved, reality doesn't work that way: even if believing that evolution is true turns a person into a sociopath (and I personally think that they'd just be using their likely incorrect version of evolution as justification) it doesn't mean that evolution is false.
