CNN Anchor Bill Weir to Fox Nation: ‘You Willfully Ignorant [expletive]sticks’ (UPDATED)
Mediaite ^ | July 31, 2014 | Eddie Scarry

It’s safe to say CNN anchor Bill Weir is not a fan of climate change deniers.

On Thursday, the Twitter account for Fox Nation, a blog run by Fox News, tweeted a link to a post headlined, “Climate Doesn’t Cooperate With Al Gore’s Group’s Visit to Denver EPA Hearings.”

The story, aggregated from the Washington Times, relates to a Denver visit by former Vice President Al Gore‘s “Climate Reality Project” for EPA hearings on power plant emissions.

The group showed up to hand out ice cream even though it was 58 degrees.

Weir retweeted the link, with his own comment: “Weather is not climate, you willfully ignorant [expletive]sticks.”

We’ve requested comment from CNN.

“Weather is not climate, you willfully ignorant [expletive]sticks.”

But if it was 95 degrees that day, it would be absolute proof of anthropogenic global warming.

I remember this guy - he used to host a post game football tv show in L.A. after Monday Night Football. I guess that makes him a climate expert - LOL

liberals are extremely vicious people. if you’ve ever had a gay person turn on you because you wouldn’t support them or affirm their ove for anal sex, you see what a thin veneer they have and what is really living underneath.

1. Global warming makes it more or less likely to have unseasonably cool temperatures, Bill? Come on, this is an easy one.

2. I remember you doing sports on KABC here in SoCal. And your degree at Pepperdine was in journalism and creative writing. Who told you you knew what you were talking about when it came to science?

Proving once again that Twitter is how twits communicate. Aside from that though, it’s quite depressing how low our public discourse has sunk, and sadly I’m not proud of some of the things I’ve posted around the web.

And if they did have a coherent thought it would die of loneliness.

CNN Anchor???

Why does a network that has an audience that can fit into a dinghy need an anchor?

Yea, verily, thou speakest the truth. Sad, ain’t it?
