Question of the day

I wonder if Ross Douthat would bide his time before criticizing a book called Conservative Child Murderers: A Very Serious Thoughtful Argument That Has Never Been Made In Such Great Detail or With Such Care, written by a daft liberal blogger. When an author's fatuous thesis can be dismantled by people with genuine expertise--and that thesis is the book's title--how much time should they actually have to spend reading the thing before we can trust that their conclusions are correct and the thing is total garbage?
