CNN Anchor Bill Weir to Fox Nation: ‘You Willfully Ignorant ********’ [profanity in body]
Mediaite ^ | July 31st, 2014 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 07/31/2014 10:05:34 AM PDT by McGruff

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 fucksticks.”

We’ve requested comment from CNN.

You are right on with that one. Weir was a sports announcer on ABC7 in LA a few years ago. He could not find enough stories in sports that showed his male chauvinistic pig attitude towards women. It made my skin crawl to watch.

I have to admit that I am willfully ignorant of unicorns as well.

Funny...
Hurricanes are called evidence of climate change,
Floods are called evidence of climate change,
Droughts are called evidence of climate change,
Blizzards are called evidence of climate change,
Forest fires are called evidence of climate change,
Tornadoes are called evidence of climate change,
Even earthquakes are called evidence of climate change.
Right up until someone suggests they're evidence against climate change.
Then they're just 'the weather.'

If s/he sounds like Lois Lerner, s/he’s a Democrat.

Locally....Last week it was 92-96 all week. The "Global Warming stories were dutifully trotted out on all the local news shows, though it's only 8 or 10 degrees hotter than normal. (hot in the summer? Who'dve thunk it?)

Now.....this weekend, it's going to be in the high 70s ...8 or 10 degrees cooler than usual.

Any temperature alarmism? None yet, and I caught the news last night - I wanted to see what the weather was going to be. "Gorgeous!!! Cool and in the mid 70s!!!" was the gushing assessment.

I have never heard of this guy. That being said I think he called most of the left “willfully ignorant f**ksticks” because they call weather events climate change all the time. He should have gone with the old school “cool weather is not global warming” to add the proper degree of intelligence to his statement.

Climate is in fact weather, lot’s of weather.

And when some idiot states that the entire Earth’s climate is super duper hot and getting hotter, they might want to be able to produce a little bit of weather to support that.

Instead, they claim all weather, hot and cold, to be absolute proof of their hypothesis. Only an idiot would keep listening to them at this point.

Indeed, weather is not climate.

And weather is not climate when it suits your purposes, either, is it, Mr Fudgestick?

Trends => flat for 18 years.

Apparently there's a history behind this outburst.

In an exclusive to Breitbart News, Fox News chief Roger Ailes shot back at CNN after the low-rated network interviewed Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and tried to mock Fox for “abandoning” him.

CNN anchor Bill Weir, a new hire at the third-place network, said to Bundy, “How does it feel to be abandoned by your friends on Fox? I mean, the only reason we could get you on tonight is that, I’m guessing, they didn’t call.”

When asked for comment, Ailes referred to Weir as “Bill Weird” and said Weir “is attacking me to get noticed.” Ailes added, “It's a cheesy start for a mediocre talent.”

I’ve gotten the belt a few times in my youth. We’d be in jail if we did that to our kids (or grandkids) these days.
