It's just another example of how theists demonize what they perceive as the "authority" behind evolution, in an effort to demonize the whole process. They think it's what atheists are trying to do, that atheists denying a divine creator means that they are also denying everything that came about from theistic belief. Some beautiful things have come from theism (music, art, charity), and though misguided in their authority, are valuable in and of themselves.
Misquotes happen all of the time. Every newspaper has a section for corrections.

Discovery Institute likes to misquote or incorrectly attribute quotes to Charles Darwin. Why don't they just give up.

Yeah, I also recognized the Dawkins quote right away. BTW, was that Dawkins reading Darwin at the end? It sure sounded like him.

Yes, it is Dawkins reading that quote. It adds a sense of irony, doesn't it?
