I figured you'd like the cut of her jibe . But seriously, she accuses atheists of intellectual dishonesty by poking holes in their arguments. Even assuming all the arguments she lists are weak (she strawmans quite a bit), this doesn't mean the person making them is intellectually dishonest.
To me, intellectual dishonesty is putting forward an argument that you yourself understand has no substance. For example, telling someone that evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics when the person making the argument knows that it doesn't. That is intellectual dishonesty. If making weak or faulty arguments means one is intellectually dishonest, then Plato and Aristotle are intellectually dishonest. News flash: they aren't.
