I think this post is trying to say that because Charles Manson was a bad person, and he was an evolutionist, that, therefore, evolution is wrong.
Which is a logical fallacy. Hitler was a the-sun-is-going-to-rise-tommorowist, which doesn’t mean the sun won’t rise tomorrow, or that being a the-sun-is-going-to-rise-tommorowist is a wrong belief.
I could use fewer posts like this.

I could use fewer posts like this. Well look at the bright side, the more he/she/it is posting these crazy articles in here, the less time he/she/it is out there in the real world scaring people away from Conservatism.

Where does the post say that? Otherwise you’re just making a straw man argument.
Which is a logical fallacy.
