I recently found this tidbit in a literature search:

Bethell, Tom.  1991.  Good as Gould.  American Spectator, Vol. 24(8),
pp. 9-11.

ABSTRACT
It is asserted that biologist Stephen Jay Gould's complacent
support of evolution and the Darwinian mechanism of natural
selection shows that he is an arrogant parrot of the
dominant liberal culture.  It is asserted that Gould and
Darwin are wrong and that no scientific basis for evolution
exists.  It is asserted that the "facts" of human evolution
support racism.  It is asserted that the defects of
Darwinism support the arguments of non-biologists and that
Gould's knowledge of evolution is hubris, not science.

 ====

Bethell has a long publication history of assertions unsupported by
evidence.  This seems to be just the latest installment.
