Weak: Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart Attack Inhofe's Climate Skepticism
NewsBusters ^ | December 15, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 12/15/2009 12:14:08 PM PST by Rufus2007

The exposure of ClimateGate and the impending failure of the Copenhagen climate summit have the global warming community on the ropes. And to add insult to their injury, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., has taken his one-man truth squad to Copenhagen, to continue to underscore just how absurd the idea of anthropogenic global warming is.

That has drawn the ire of the left, which knows it's losing momentum here and abroad as the Copenhagen summit is nearing the end. And that has enticed two prominent left-wing heroes, MSNBC "Countdown" host Keith Olbermann and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart to taking on Inhofe.

On Olbermann's Dec. 14 broadcast, he awarded Inhofe the second-place prize in his "Worst Persons in the World" segment, based on Inhofe disputing the so-called "warmest decade on record" talking point that is a favorite of global warming alarmists and is based on narrowly interpreted climate data.

Big momma type liberals trying to hustle us with the usual it will hurt the poor, minorties and women more, and if we don’t do something then those same victims will turn violent so you better pay up to keep the peace. Rinos fall for this shtick everytime.

I wish these morons and dregs (Olberman and Stewart) had the intelligence accompanied with responsible journalism to look into the substance of the concerns of Inhofe. It would be wishful thinking to want the MSM to simply present the two sides of an argument and let the people decide. What a crazy idea!

Senator Inhofe is a big boy. He can take it.

Poor Olbie has a lot on his plate with all the people he has to attack and smear. Truth is breaking out about both global warming and health care, and the left is panicky.

The worst part is how many people watch John Stewart and think they’re watching “news”.

One could ask how record is defined? There has certainly been warmer decades over the earth's existence

Senator, Give the Resident of the White House, the Lap Dog of the U.N., Russia and Norway Nobel Peace Prize, Climate-Gate for Christmas.

Let’s see if he can handle global cooling for a second term as it wipes out his last strongholds of poor and Democrat support. Send the foreigner packing!

Let’s see if he can warm the masses with his speech writer’s clever words. Let’s see if Homeland Security can keep the masses off his White House steps.

God is a Jealous God. He is Angry!

Yes, and this is that dumbed down 18-29 year old crowd.

The DUMBEST GENERATION (I hope)

I don’t know about Inhofe, but Stewart ripped Gretchen Carlson a new one last week.

Jon Stewart is a d-bag who mugs for the camera.

THIS is the Left's great icon of political debate?

Seriously, in 2004 he was everywhere as "the" spokesman of a generation in the media.

And suddenly questioning your government is unpatriotic.

based on narrowly interpreted climate data

Olbermann is a master of narrowly interpreted data. His is, afterall, the highest rated TV show in the history of recorded history; between the hours of 8:00 and 8:03pm, among 20-22 year old males named Joe who live in their mother's basement, work at McDonalds, have never dated, don't drive and are allergic to mouthwash.

There’s not a lot in this article about the Jon Stewart segment. If it’s the one I’m thinking about, Stewart also tore the folks at Hadley CRU a new one. In fact, that was the main thrust of the segment. He bashed Inhofe (somewhat unfairly in my opinion), but it came across more as throwing a bone to his left-wing viewers. The focus was on Hadley CRU.

I actually saw part of the John Stewart bit. Typical of a liberal, he was simply dishonest. I know, bit shocker there.
