It looks like the defense of science (necessitated by folks like Michele Bachmann and the rest of the anti-science crowd) has been taken up by members of the general public who are blogging their disgust with those who propose that the world is just 6000 years old and other such nonsense. This article in New Scientist describes an underground social movement of "angry nerds" and "guerrilla bloggers", dedicated to defending evidence-based medicine and challenging quackery. Good ideas, I think. It seems it also works to defeat anti-science attitudes.
