Which lies are those? And I'm not talking about random anonymous statements on fly-by-night websites. I'm talking about published evolution critics like Johnson, Behe, Dembski, etc.

May I quote you that creationist websites that quote out of contex are lying? And the Freepers who quote the random anonymous websites?

Johnson, etc, may or may not quote out of context, but they engage in another form of lying. They republish refuted and worthless arguments as if 200 years of criticism of ID had never happened.

Quote this: it is a common practice on FR, sadly, to quote from facts-challenged websites routinely.

Particularly on anything having to do with religion and history.

Evolution critics are far from the only or most prominent offenders in this regard.

Johnson, etc, may or may not quote out of context, but they engage in another form of lying. They republish refuted and worthless arguments as if 200 years of criticism of ID had never happened.

I don't think that republishing arguments that you do not believe to have been refuted is "lying" by any stretch of the word.
