Whole Lotta Denial Goin’ On…

Share article:

Last night, climate scientist and MacArthur Fellow (“Genius Grant” recipient, but what do they know?), Peter Gleick tweeted: “Moon landing deniers, evolution deniers, tobacco causes cancer deniers, #climate deniers, now ‘debt-limit’ deniers.”

But, it doesn’t have to be that way, at least the “climate denier” part, according to this video released by The League of Conservation voters yesterday…

It’s cute. And the “slow jam” may stay with you for hours. Sorry about that.

While discussing that video with a number of climate folks yesterday, our own not-frequent-enough guest blogger D.R. Tucker had this thought:

I have only one problem with this ad: it doesn’t show the Republican congressman who becomes a climate hero being primaried right out of his seat by a redneck, low-IQ, kindergarten-dropout piece of shit who’s received thousands from the Kochs. I mean, you’ve got to tell the whole story…

Well, there’s that.

    i am a “debt limit denier” and proud to be one! We should NOT give in to political scare tactics and violent extortion! Y’all need to get off the democrat teet, and realize that endless corporate bailouts ($85B per month) do NOT help the disadvantaged. EVER! There are many things (like the police state, bailouts, corp welfare, the war machine etc… that can be cut – Austerity can be positive if done by we the people)Calling us “low IQ” for questioning the unbridled spending of the demopublicans and their Wall Street masters, is dirty pool and LAZY imFo! Good luck with all THAT.

    Ya know what else is “LAZY”, Jack? Making up strawman arguments that nobody here has made so you can demolish those pretend arguments. It seems that’s what you do, however. Or, at least during my various experiences with you over the last several years. I guess it’s easier than dealing with actual issues and arguments.

    For the record, not sure who “y’all” refers to, or who you believe is on the “democrat teet” such that they are supporting “corporate bailouts” of “police state, corp welfare, war machine” etc.

    But, given you admit to being a “debt limit denier” fantasist (we already know you are a climate change denier fantasist), and that neither of the current GOP hostage taking “crises” have anything whatsoever to do with any of the above mentioned “corporate bailouts” you are pretending to be fighting the brave fight against, it’s little surprise that you’d make up arguments and enemies here, as quickly as you’d make up pretend arguments about what is going on in the world.

    Good luck with that, chief! You’ll pardon me if I laugh at you shake my head at your pointless nonsense again as you head out the door…

    re: Jack Blood–

    “We should NOT give in to political scare tactics and violent extortion!”

    …he cries, as he enthusiastically supports exactly that.

    These clowns must live in houses with no mirrors.
