Unable To Distinguish

Former BushCo™ speechwriter Michael Gerson:

For the most part, these accusations are a political ploy -- actually an attempt to shut down political debate. Any practical concern about the content of government sex-education curricula is labeled "anti-science." Any ethical question about the destruction of human embryos to harvest their cells is dismissed as "theological" and thus illegitimate.

From there Gerson goes on to demonstrate that he doesn't know the difference between "science" and "theology" or, for that matter, what "facts" and "evidence" are.

And, yes, Gerson brings Nazis into the mix.

Are there any honest, intelligent Conservatives left?

ADDED: Kevin: "The disingenuousness here is breathtaking."

Chris Mooney (who literally wrote the book on this subject): "In short, Gerson's oped is a joke. No need for debunking, just laughing."
