It really really depends on what you mean by blind. Mutations themselves are blind in the sense that they do not usually change their rates to accomodate environmental factors, no? So if Dawkins used the word "blind", then probably to allude to his Shakespeare weasel example, where there is no selection process between mutations.
So the quote is simply saying the wrong thing if no context is provided, and completely supports evolution in context.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
