New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) – Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann explained her skepticism of evolution on Friday and said students should be taught the theory of intelligent design.


"I support intelligent design," Bachmann told reporters in New Orleans following her speech to the Republican Leadership Conference. "What I support is putting all science on the table and then letting students decide. I don't think it's a good idea for government to come down on one side of scientific issue or another, when there is reasonable doubt on both sides."
According to Memeorandum, her remarks didn't get much coverage; of the major news outlets, only CNN reported it.  I used LexisNexis to search for this in U.S. Newspapers and Wires and nothing came up.  Switching to TV and Radio Transcripts, there was only one hit:

Does the fact that she`s crazy help or hurt her in the primaries?

The conventional left would do well to focus on whether the corrupt plutocracy and oligarchy benefits
from an individual's overall religio-political outlook rather than any specific isolated branch thereof.

Intelligent design in the service of God's purported sanction of thieving lands and the necessity of the voter protecting the seizure...isn't intelligent.
