Ultimately, there is only one source citation needed in any chapter dedicated to refuting evolution: the Bible.
Now, don't we wish the Bible itself had end-note citations? ("Letter dated Day Four, from Angelic Engineering Department to God, detailing urgent need for the creation of astronomical sources for the Light created on Day One.")

By the way, you have not responded to my and other's comments regarding Coulter's hypocrisy in bearing false witness. |

Please list the mistakes in the works of the scientists Coulter quotes.
If Coulter lied in the past she was wrong, just like you were wrong when you lied in the past. If you have never lied in the past than I commend you.
But the fact that a person has told a deliberate or a unintentional falsehood does not mean that person is incapable of telling truths in the future. Also there is a saying it takes one to know one. If Coulter has various weaknesses maybe she has some special talent to spot certain negative behavior. Usually people with some special unusual talent have a weakness. |

Ghost skeptic should supply the mistakes, he's complaining about them.
What is the question on quote mining? I go thru these posts at a leisurely pace. And skip around sometimes like I'm sure everyone does. I'm not getting paid to do this... But when I complain about something I usually have the info to back it up.
Also, I'm sure there are quotes all over the internet, and people have brought in whole segments of the book. I'm sure you'll be able to find some tidbits in there. |

Coulter and company borrow a technique from another nasty, vile book, Mein Kampf. Hitler didn't differentiate between different Jewish people or Jewish groups within German society. He just took the word "Jew" and vilified it to apply to all Jews. Hitler's anti-Semitism framed all Jewish people as scapegoats for all social and economic ills of that time. Coulter may not be anti-Semitic but she is similar in her blaming all Liberals as scapegoats. One should ask oneself why she wants her readers to believe crazy, idiotic things. (And note that they are beliefs, not facts.) Her endorsement of creationism is, behind the conservative curtain, a political rather than religious motivation. Her aim is to pull rightist notions into a simplistic and uniform set of beliefs for the ultimate goal of generating more votes that benefit corporatists. It is therefore ironic that she throws the fascist label at Liberals.

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

Tragically, when people respond to your "complaints" and demonstrate how wrong Coulter is, you tend to ignore it. |

Congratulations, I bet everyone can't wait for her 6th bestseller to come along so you can not buy and rebuff that one too. |

All being popular as a talking head or writer means is that there are people who like what you say. It says nothing about whether what you have to say is truthful. Coulter has demonstrated time and time again to anyone willing to view her critically and do some research, that she is sorely lacking in the honesty department. For many of us, she burned her bridges the moment she told that first public lie. That she continues to lie has been demonstrated in this thread. (If only you had looked at the links.)
Go ahead and enjoy her. Let Ann Coulter tell you why you shouldn't accept what almost every biologist, geologist and cosmologist on the planet knows. She's the expert, right? Believe everything she says. After all, she writes popular books!

Things GK Paul has failed to acknowledge:- Coulter's many documented lies,
- Coulter's current lies,
- Pelosi was talking about worshipping the Christian God, not liberalism,
- nobody considers Nina "BJ" Burleigh to be infallible,
- felatio isn't prayer,
- "Pro-Choice" activists use the word "abortion" often,
- Dembski was closely involved in Coulter's chapters on evolution,
- nobody can "tithe" to the NEA who isn't an educator, and
- abortion isn't a "sacrament."
The fact that you refuse to acknowledge these things speaks volumes about you, GK Paul. You're either unwilling or unable to have an honest discussion about Coulter. |

As has already been noted, there is no clearer sign at this point that you cannot actually defend Coulter that you refuse to address any of the points we'e made. Instead, you have now twice tried to appeal to Coulter's best-seller status as some sort of validation. This proves nothing, however, and is as empty as Coulter's own arguments. |

Felatio isn't prayer, nobody considers "BJ" infallible, and abortion isn't a sacrament to everybody, so what.
Also I believe I said tithing to teachers unions, if you can't give donations to teacher's unions let me know where you got that info. |

So what? So you complain about people being rude, but you couldn't find the common decency within you to acknowledge the truth until you were badgered about it a bunch of times. And still, you only managed to acknowledge two of the items in the list, and are now arguing about a third. But the fact is that nobody considers the act of abortion to be a visible sign of grace or a religious ritual. And so...
Things GK Paul has still failed to acknowledge:- Coulter's many documented lies,
- Coulter's current lies,
- Pelosi was talking about worshipping the Christian God, not liberalism,
- "Pro-Choice" activists use the word "abortion" often,
- Dembski was closely involved in Coulter's chapters on evolution,
- nobody can "tithe" to the NEA who isn't an educator, and
- abortion isn't a "sacrament."
And while I've been writing this reply, you edited your original to add:quote:

No, you said,...liberals are encouraged to tithe to the national teachers union. And you refuse to acknowledge the fact that the general public cannot donate money to the NEA, which is considered to be the national teachers union. One has to actually be an educator in order to give them money. |

I already showed you that. If you have any evidence in support of your implied claim that a person can just hand over money to unions without being a member, please post it here. |

Bill Clinton lied under oath, and told other lies, and most liberals certainly were able to forgive him. Whether or not you forgive should not be dependent on whether or not you agree with a person's opinions. |
