There is no rational reason I can think of for the fellatiotic article on Thompson. It wasn't until halfway into the second page that the sheer nonsense of this man's views were made apparent.
Clearly, the reporter thinks Thompson is just some colorful character who makes great press. He is not and he doesn't. Gordy Slack needs to understand that articles like this are precisely what projects a bogus sense of legitimacy around the idiocy that is "intelligent design." Slack also needs to get an education on exactly what the issues are. This is not cutesy, folksy, Americana. This is a bald-faced attempt to establish a cheap, ugly religion as the law of the land.
It is utterly irresponsible, if you care about truth in reporting, to give a man like Thompson so much space, and to wait so long before disputing his views. Slack should know better. So should Salon.
