LGF Diavlog at New York Times
A clip from my Bloggingheads discussion with Conn Carroll of the Heritage Foundation has been posted at the New York Times video page today: Bloggingheads: Conservative Fascism? - Video Library - The New York Times.
Notice how Carroll tosses in a blatant straw man argument at the conclusion of this clip, accusing me of saying “everyone on the conservative movement is a fascist” — which, of course, I have never said or written.
The full video is here at Blogginheads.tv, and also posted at LGF here.
I’ll take this opportunity to discuss another talking point Carroll tried to raise in our discussion (which you can see in the full video) — the idea that creationism is a minor, unimportant issue and nothing anyone should worry about. This is a very curious argument for Carroll to put forth, since the organization he works for, the Heritage Foundation, spends quite a bit of time and money promoting creationism: ‘intelligent design’ site:heritage.org - Google Search.
Heritage’s own search engine turns up more creationist propaganda, using ‘Darwin’ as the search term: Search Results: darwin.
