The American Prospect defends Kyoto on the same homepage it defends the Darwinian status quo.

You should thank those English fruitloops. Their intervention probably helped W get re-elected... No-one likes being told what to do by a bunch of "smart" guys from another country and they probably solidified W's vote. What baffles me is how a load of clever guys in England couldn't see that.

Just because Dawkins is wrong about US politics it does not make him wrong about biological science. He is an expert in the biological sciences and knows nothing about US politics.

Dawkins' patronizing letter to Ohio voters is an embarrassment to the mainstream scientific cause just as many posters here who attack the science of evolutionary biology from a position of almost complete ignorance are an embarrassment to the conservative cause. In general if people made sure that they understood a subject before lecturing others about it we'd all be a lot better off. That goes for both Dawkins on US politics and many posters in these debates on evolution.
