Morford: Mother Nature, The Hate Crime (BushCo just really, really loathes this planet)
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Friday, February 27, 2004 | Mark Morfor; this unrequieted love affair with the President is just tearing him apart

Posted on 02/27/2004 8:07:56 AM PST by presidio9

Edited on 04/13/2004 2:45:55 AM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]

Today's question: What do you get when more than 60 of the world's top scientists, 20 Nobel Laureates among them, get together and write one of the most scathing, damning reports in the history of modern science, aimed squarely at BushCo's thoroughly atrocious record of cover-ups and obfuscations and outright lies regarding the health of the planet?

"Union of Concerned Scientists" is right out of "Atlas Shrugged." Along with the claims of being "non-partisan." Ayn may have had her problems, but she was all to right about such things.l

The Union of Concerned Scientists has never been a non-partisan group, they are as partisan and left-wing as HELL!

Got news for Morford. Mother Nature is an intolerant B!tch. AIDS/HIV are just an example of her kind and gentle hand.

Not so easy, however, to dismiss a small army of nonpartisan, internationally respected scientists...

60 scientists is a small army, eh?

Over and over again, endless droning shots of gyrating sweating booty-pumping faux-sexy bodies pretending to writhe in bogus orgasmic bliss...

Awwww, shucks! And I thought Miss Morford was going to make it through an entire article without having to take a masturbation break. Silly me.

Hey Morford - clean your own house first. Gay sex is killing more people than Bush's environmental policies ever will. If you really want to save lives, shut down the bathouses and the bareback for hire classifieds.

Of course we would be remiss if one of us didn't point out that nowhere in this screed did the "author" ever actually provide a single example of the so-called assault on the environment (or even an assault on the eco-wackos!).
As always, I never ceased to be amazed at the dunderheadedness of leftists ;'}

Look. We reflect the planet. The planet reflects us. And 60 out of 60 scientists agree: BushCo's time of reflecting nothing but cruel blackness and abuse needs to come to an end, right now.

Bwahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

In reading that line, William Shakespeare must be rolling in his grave. Talk about overheated over the top rhetoric.

BTW, if you check out the "non-partisan" Union of Concerned Scientists' website, you'll notice that they advocate nuclear disarmament.

...nonpartisan group called the Union of Concerned Scientists...

Very slippery. They might be non-partisan (technically not being officially connected with either party), but they are definitely not unbiased (being a collection of human-hating leftists).

They have nonpartisan members like Carl Sagan. Remember how centrist he was?

Scientists can be partisan liars, too. I'll have more faith in this particular scientific community when they start using actual science.

Yep...it's GW's singular, most important goal of his presidency - to single-handedly destroy Mother Earth and all life as we all know it! The sky is falling!

Good Lord, does this excuse of a human have any sense of logic or reason??? I don't know why I subject myself to such anguish by reading his articles every time they are posted...I know vulgarity needs to be refrained from on this site, but Morford needs to be seriously b*tch-slapped.

(But then he may enjoy it too much...)

But still... not one reference to anal sex... and (s)he actually sounded like (s)he disapproved of MTV. I think (s)he's hit a puritanical streak.

Morford is always good for a laugh. Particularly when he tries to rouse the ire of the "people" to get their priorities straight, and realize"...that no other president in modern history has so openly misled the public or been so flagrantly disrespectful of scientific fact and mountains of irrefutable research, deliberately and systematically mutilating scientific data in the service of its rather brutal, pro-corporate, antienvironment agenda?"

Ending with a ? is appropriate since his statement is based on a study that is a lie. Most of this idiotic bile spewing is based on the unmentioned "Kyoto Treaty" which Bush opposes. The UCS study is flawed because they have built their tower of babel upon the shifting sands of lies and exaggerations that are the global warming debate. The lies are those of proponents of the Kyoto Treaty, which was clearly understood by 96 US Senators when this treaty was rejected as idiotic and suicidal back during the Clinton Administration.

Since then, more "irrefutable facts" have come to light, refuting the shallow and arguably feeble minded case that CO2 emissions are causing catastrophic global warming. All other specific arguments against Bush's environmental record and largely based on similar fraud. If they were not, Morford might have actually quoted them, and used them to justify his psychotic rantings.

But, he seems content, that his audience does not need "facts" to convince them to react like cats-set-afire when hearing Bush's name. Another insult to the intelligence of his narrow and shallow thinking readership.
