The NBC reporter...

A reporter for NBC News covering the presidential race attacked Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney this morning over his visit to hurricane ravaged Louisiana and 'climate change.'
The reporter, Garrett Haake, posted on Twitter:
Garrett Haake@GarrettNBCNews
Romney has dismissed man-made climate change & joked about rising oceans. Today he'll see effects of both in flooded south Louisiana 9:26 AM - 31 Aug 12
Haake's attack comes on the same morning that NBC News was raked over the coals by The New York Times over the foaming at the mouth liberal bias of its cable sibling MSNBC.
Haake's Twitter bio: @nbcnews Campaign Embed Reporter for @decision2012. SMU and Dallas Cowboys fan. Links & retweets aren't endorsements. Opinions are my own.
Opinions may be his own, but his public attack of a candidate he's covering should preclude Haake from further reporting on the presidential campaign.
But HAACKE......you guy Obama said he was going to STOP the RISE of the OCEANS!!!
Don’t worry Mr. Reporter, there will be plenty of attacks coming once Mr. Romney begins to ‘change’ or ‘evolve’ again while in office.
At least Haake is aptly named!
The flooding was not caused by an ocean rise due to climte change .
It was caused by a hurricane that temporarily caused the ocean to rise. That happens all the time in bad coastal storms, and has nothing to do with a permanent change in the climate. - tom
Twit this you Hack. The only scientific proof frauds like you have is POLITICAL SCIENCE. There is no scientific proof that hasn’t been doctored that shows AGW has any effect on major weather diasters. ZERO.
because we KNOW for a FACT, that Hurricanes and Tropical storms "neeever" happened before the days of the SUV.
Its a real shame NBC lets the mentally ill on air, in front of a microphone!
Brent Bozell documents it every day at Newsbusters.org.
Romney and the entire right are being attacked from all sides. AP, NYT, LAT, WP et al, along with the TV outlets best be ready for the barrage they are going to get from the leftists in the media.
This must be because we have so many more hurricanes now, than we used to....oh, we don’t.

Hmm. What was that about 'dismissing man-made climate change' again, Haake?
Man...he might as well have STUPID LIBERAL tattooed right on his forehead...
Garrett Haake’s only religious faith is in the theory of Man Made Global Warming. His faith allows him to do anything he wants and call it freedom from religion.
In those halcyon days of real journalism, a REPORTER was someone concerned with that mantra of who, what, when, where and how. Note the absence of ‘WHY’ as that was reserved for the editorial or columnist writers. Mr Haake should not be a reporter, but then this probably describes the majority of his peers.
Looks like a good friend for Shep Smith.
Meanwhile, I wonder exactly what education or employment qualifies him as a climate expert? He is not even a first tier journalist, he is a stringer reporter and political hack to boot.
Cowabunga Giraffe neck, nice touch with the Puka shells.
A hurricane is the result of global warming? If Mr. Haake reviews history, he will find that we’ve always had hurricanes.
