GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTIC ENDORSES THOMPSON (BARF ALERT)
The Nation ^ | October 11, 2007 | Ari Berman

Posted on 10/13/2007 4:43:42 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

After Fred Thompson received the endorsement of former Virginia Senator George Allen this week, I wondered which scandal plagued politician would back Thompson next. Larry Craig? Ted Stevens?

Turns out the honor goes to Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, the former chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee who once called the threat of global warming "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." He then compared Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" to Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

In a campaign press release, Inhofe praised Thompson for his "deep character and principle."

Looks like folksy Fred won't be going green any time soon.

I meant Senator George Allen’s “Macaca” comment. What you quoted is almost certainly the truth....

Thanks for clarifying. I was pretty sure I just misunderstood you. :)

What misstatement? It was and is true. Global Warming is a hoax. George Allen says ‘macaca’ and he is “scandal plagued”.
The author of this article is a partisan hack, hardly worth responding too. The MSM is full of them, but the Dinosaur media is slowly self-exterminating. Detroit papers announce another 100+ lay offs. They shall not be missed. Who misses Dan Rather?

I think we know where to wipe with the contemptible pages of Comrade Mizzz Van Den Heuvel's Nation magazine. Remember! Only one sheet per sitting. The wipes have to last until Algore assumes the throne.

Considering the fact that Algor’s film now comes with a warning label because of the factual errors, Inhofe’s statement seems pretty accurate to me.

Ah, The Nation, America's home-brewed version of Pravda, with very similar commentary standards.

[The author of this article is a partisan hack,...]

Of the left wing persuasion who live in constant fear and anxiety of the effect of global warming disaster, a fool of the worst sort of fools and an enemy of those who know the truth.

The chicken little leftist run around screaming “ the sky is falling, the world is burning, the oceans are overflowing”; it would be funny if they had no political power but they do and it is not funny anymore. These liberals are fools and are the blind leading the blind into the ditch.

Actually, "An Inconvenient Truth" will eventually go down more like "Reefer Madness."

The way I am reading it, the farther left these people are, the more terrified they are of Fred.

And that’s a good thing.

Scandal-plagued politicians? I guess we can dismiss the comments of most of the Democrats.

Global warming is bunk, as is “the Nation” magazine.

THIS IS IMPORTANT

If you want to do something practical about the travesty of Al Gore's Nobel, go to A Little Secret

Give generously. Here is a man who single handedly is showing that the "Global Warming" scam is based on a tissue of lies.

Why has no-one updated the data for the last 25 years? (c'mon, you know the answer)

Also see: Bring the Proxies Up to Date!!, and Rocky Mountain High #2

There is hope, but only if you act now.

We can hope. I'm tired of getting screwed by "republicans" that try to appease the enviro loonies at the expense of our freedoms.

Excellent analogy. You've nailed it.

Yeah, and if I remember right, Al Gore called Conservative bloggers “brown shirts”.
