People want so badly to find something offensive about Dawkins and Harris they will reach as far back as possible, and when and if they find something, never let it go. Twisting and obfuscating are weapons at the ready too, of course.

There are certain folks who hate that they can't address Dawkins' (and other various New Atheists') observations and criticisms about religion, and so they engage in intense character assassination. It is of course the height of hypocrisy that most of those same folks give Wonderpope Frank a complete pass with the homophobic crap he spouts.
