He reportedly blamed the acceptance of evolution for the atrocities of Nazi Germany and the 1999 Columbine shooting, adding, "As a general court [the official term for the New Hampshire legislature] we should be concerned with criminal ideas like this and how we are teaching it."
So now evolution is a "criminal idea"? I think that's an outrageous statement to make and one he should be held to account for.
How on earth do we counter this sort of garbage?
You nor anyone else will never counter it, because it's factual

Darwinism and the Nazi Race Holocaust
by Jerry Bergman onNovember 1, 1999TechnicalKeywords

Leading Nazis, and early 1900 influential German biologists, revealed in their writings that Darwin’s theory and publications had a major influence upon Nazi race policies. Hitler believed that the human gene pool could be improved by using selective breeding similar to how farmers breed superior cattle strains. In the formulation of their racial policies, Hitler’s government relied heavily upon Darwinism, especially the elaborations by Spencer and Haeckel. As a result, a central policy of Hitler’s administration was the development and implementation of policies designed to protect the ‘superior race’. This required at the very least preventing the ‘inferior races’ from mixing with those judged superior, in order to reduce contamination of the latter’s gene pool. The ‘superior race’ belief was based on the theory of group inequality within each species, a major presumption and requirement of Darwin’s original ‘survival of the fittest’ theory. This philosophy culminated in the ‘final solution’, the extermination of approximately six million Jews and four million other people who belonged to what German scientists judged as ‘inferior races’.
Introduction
Of the many factors that produced the Nazi holocaust and World War II, one of the most important was Darwin’s notion that evolutionary progress occurs mainly as a result of the elimination of the weak in the struggle for survival. Although it is no easy task to assess the conflicting motives of Hitler and his supporters, Darwinism-inspired eugenics clearly played a critical role. Darwinism justified and encouraged the Nazi views on both race and war. If the Nazi party had fully embraced and consistently acted on the belief that all humans were descendants of Adam and Eve and equal before the creator God, as taught in both the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures, the holocaust would never have occurred.

What's with you, these days, DA? Competing with Hooah for EvC top troll? How about you doing what no one else has? Refute the cited data.
