Subject: Jack Cafferty -- "Evolution has a slight edge" Excuse me?

Jack, you just said, “Evolution has a slight edge” with what people want in classrooms. A slight edge? 61% support it and 20% don’t! How do you consider that a “slight edge?” You wouldn’t be trying to spin this, would you Jack?

He responded back rudely with:

a slight edge over creationism...you weren't listening.

I responded again:

Um yeah, even with that that’s 7%..a slight edge is 1-2%......If this was a pro-Bush poll he would have a “solid lead.”

Granted, I misunderstood what he said. He read a poll 61% support evolution in schools 20% do not. But, his other poll said only 54% suppor creationism.....He said that evolutionism only had a "Slight edge." 7% is a slight edge? If it were a Bush/Kerry poll Bush would have "taken it away" or had a "solid lead."

Keep tuned in to The Far Right Situation Room on CNN to see if he posts my comments on the air and see what other unprofessional things he'd like to say to me.

1. There's some BAD logic and math going on there.

How can a majority support BOTH Creationism AND Evolution?

They are mutually exclusive.


Was the Evolution poll of the general population and the Creationism poll from seminary students?

4. That's not rude.
That's pointing out your misunderstanding and your not listening. Now if he'd said "A slight edge over creationism, you drooling dumbass," then I would agree with you. But he didn't, so I don't get the fuss.

5. At least he didn't run over you
with his car and then drive off.
Like he did a bike messenger last year.
I don't watch him anymore.
He's on my list of "life is too short"...along with Coulter, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Gibson, and all those other lovable "curmudgeons" who are really misanthropes who suck the joy out of life.
These are miserable people with serious personal problems.
Don't engage.
