"Expelled" looks like a lot of slippery slope logic (it even violates Godwin's Law from the looks of things) and disguised irrationality.

This is all over the skeptical blogs. PZ Myers has been having what can really only be described as a "field day". They've also been throwing it around on Skepchick, and even Phil has mentioned it occasionally. It's been gone over on The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe and even Geo has weighed in on it.
