is Dennett's essay and/or Fodor's reply available online. Google books has no preview at all for _Meaning in Mind_.

In _Meaning in Mind: Fodor and his critics_, there is a paper by Dennett called something like "Granny's Campaign for Safe Science" where Dennett seems to rip Fodor a new one and in passing labels Searle some sort of dualist but doesn't specify Searle's so-called dualism.
That's why Searle coins "biological naturalism" to be such as to be sensitive to the facts and different from the conceptual dualism that is inherent in (it really is don't you know) eliminative, quietistic, criteriological, epiphenomenal, property dualist, materialist (in its mostly non-idiosyncratic reductive forms), computationalist, and even connectionist forms of grappling with the so-called mind-body problem.
After Dennett's spanking of Fodor, Fodor replies with such swiftness that it appears that Dennett is pissing block letters in the cold snowjob of philosophical rigor while Fodor is doing so much better what with his ability to show up the block letters with cursive.
