Idiots at Powerline 'quote mining'

Pharyngula::The World According to Powerline: "The bulk of their case against local columnist Nick Coleman requires that they selectively parse his words, throwing up partial quotes and hiding the things he said that nullify their interpretation. Just a suggestion, Gavin: this is a familiar practice in the creationist wars. It's called "quote mining". The Powerline crew are creationist sympathizers, so I guess it's not surprising that they should adopt their dirty habits, too."

Totally lacking a sense of irony Powerline concludes: "It isn't contemptible to be wrong, of course. But it is contemptible to smear an opponent, impugn his motives, and misrepresent his position--all while arguing from a posture of complete ignorance of the relevant scientific and economic facts, to serve a radical political agenda."

Sadly No deserves a hand for occasionally reading Powerline's garbage.
