Maybe all those who wrote those angry emails can dissolve themselves back into the primordal soup...they’ve had their say...what jerks

[winner3000]

The people who sent the letters should be listed on the internet. There’s nothing like the light of truth to shine on the roaches of political correctness.

darwinists can’t stand debate. like its parent, leftism, it can only exist in an information vacuum.

We believe “in the beginning God”, they believe “in the beginning Dirt”. The difference is their religion is taxpayer funded.

You forgot... “Al Franken supporter”.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

good idea. publish all these letters. the Internet affords people a cloak for bad behavior, who would normally be quite civil. like the darwinists who will no doubt be along later calling everyone who disagrees with them names.

[DManA]

There is no such thing as a “Darwinist”.

NEVER GIVE UP!

NEVER GIVE UP!

NEVER GIVE UP!

Why did he back out? Why do conservatives always give in? I can't STAND the wimpy nature of today's conservatives. Fight back!

[GodGunsGuts]

I completely agree with you there!

[CharacterCounts]

I asked him to confirm that he would speak about the economy and it was at that point that he withdrew.”

Translation:

I tried to censor his speech and it was at that point he withdrew.

[OneWingedShark]

Interesting.

Why would I want to listen to an idiot who donated money to Al Franken’s senate campaign?

[metmom]

I guess the faith of those believers in evolution is so weak that they can’t handle the thought that they might hear some conflicting point of view.

What are they afraid of? That someone might hear about creation and believe it instead of evolution?

>>Why would I want to listen to an idiot who donated money to Al Franken’s senate campaign?<<

Are you saying Ben Stein donated to Al Frqanken?!

[GodGunsGuts]

I just found out about that the other day. I guess they are Hollywood friends that go way back. And while that softens the campaign donation a little, there’s still no excuse—Stein should have known better.

My daughter graduates from UVM in May. I would have liked to hear him.

I agree Ben has not been right in the head lately. I suspect a brain tumor. He did seem fairly sane on Cavuto last weekend when commenting on the generation theft bill.

[Archon of the East]

But you cant back down! Damn it Ben! use the opportunity give a lesson in American first amendment speech that your rights end where someone else begins, that shouting down or preventing a persons speech in the name of the first amendment is in fact a violation it.

==What are they afraid of? That someone might hear about creation and believe it instead of evolution?

BINGO!
