CRU and Sarah Palin

Robert Tracinski at Real Clear Politics succinctly outlines the fraudulence exposed by the CRU emails, source code (h/t TSK9), and other information.  Fortunately, Tina Brown and Scarborough have their priorities straight in focusing on Sarah Palin and her supporters:

Here's Brown's Daily Beast's coverage of global warming, including this brief from a publication whose heyday passed about 25 years ago. So far, there's no acknowledgment of the scandal.  Scientific American ought to devote a special supplement to this, but they won't, of course.

Some of what Brown says about Palin is certainly true: namely that her popularity is fed by Obama's shafting of the American people.  This really is the same meme, though, that's being advanced by the pseudo-conservative troika of Frum, Brooks, and Friedersdorf, that Palin has no policy chops.  What they don't get, that most Americans do, is that policy is a reflection of values, and not vice-versa.

  1. Reflection of values?

    You know who likes to talk about traditional American values? David Duke.

    Policy in a America should reflect the a secular diversity of values of its citizenry, not vice-versa for that leads to fascism. What didn’t you learn about the majority in the South forcing Jim Crow laws onto the minority?

    Poor Sarah, nothing but a cultural values prop for the bitter clingers.

  2. You know, while we’re on the subject of evangelical theofasicsts who want to use fraud to extend unrepresentative power over the surface of the planet.

    • “…policy is a reflection of values, and not vice-versa.”

      Very well said Dan. And did you have more to add to your sentance regarding “evangelical theofascists”? It looked like an unfinished thought…

      I love schadenfreude as much as the next person, but I fear that this won’t get enough play in the legacy media for me to get the helping I’m entitled to…

      Still, it is too sweet to watch the AGW sky-is-falling-crowd get their comeuppance for all of the years of lying and falsifying data and the results of analysis…

  3. One of the problem with Dan’s values meme is that it’s recycling, sort’a like recycling by chugging the warm swill in Trig Palin’s drool cup. It doesn’t make sense.

    Ramming values down the throats of others is un-American, after all those who originally left Europe for America were trying to get away from that exact type of repressive forced-values bullshit.

    America is about Eduard Limonov and Jose Marti being able to be Eduard Limonov and Jose Marte in New York after they tossed them from Moscow and Cuba.

    America is freedom from cultural and values fascism.

    The uppercut of real America is gonna TKO you flailing swingers out.

    History. Learn some. Vive la France!

    Yeah. Those damn puritans left England to get away from the repressive forced values of global warmening and the tolerant censorship of political correctness.

    History. It’s not about what you feel. It’s about facts, especially the ones that don’t fit into your excruciatingly silly revisionist world view.

    A capital idea. Get your Mommy to buy you a copy of this:

    And then ask your teacher to read it to you. If they are a “profesional educator”, they will resist, as the inconvenient facts do not match the current dogma, but still, the both of you might actually cure your stultifiying ignorance.

    • Hi, wittle r-wingy tinkie. I’m thor.

      Fuck the world as viewed through your racist prism and your fascist Christian blinders.

      Open wide, the bold fist of America is gonna mouth pump ya, ya pink-tutu wearing sexually repressed Oedipal complexin’ wittle queer thing.

      America needs your waterheaded ilk like a cunt needs a door.

      • Ahh, yes. When you cannot blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. You know, cupcake, you really shouldn’t go into a battle of wits while unarmed. But if you want to come off like a Touretts-addled half-wit, soiling himself and finger painting with feces, who am I to say no? After all, with sterling arguments like the ones you have presented here, I’m sure you have had great success recruiting converts to your sad, cracked world view.

        I realize that your disbility check is small, and that’s probably why you haven’t invested in a dictionary, but you’ll be thrilled to know that there are free ones online, and you can actually look up words like “fascism” and learn what they really mean by reading all the definitions. That way, you can postpone stunning displays of stupidity like your unfortunate bout of verbal diarhea above, and it might take twice as many comments before readers learn that you actually belong at the little table, rather than seated with the adults.

        • Woookie, out wittle foul-mouthed right-wingy queer thing came back to do a r-wingy hip wiggle.

          Hey, wittle queer thing, there’s quite a few definitions of fascism, did you know that pinky-wings? They range from Jonah “Rube Tinkle” Goldberg’s to Roger Griffin’s. Queer thing, you didn’t really think you knew anything about the definition of fascism, did ya?

          You’ll have to get yourself a proper colonial education before you and I can converse much. I may still be here in ten years, who can really say, pinky thing.

        • You presume much, Half-wit. If I wanted to regularly “converse” with the mentally handicapped, I’d volunteer with the United Way. At least some of the people they help have the potential, no matter how slight, to overcome their shortcomings. I don’t have that same hope for you.

          Thanks for the demonstration of irony, also. ‘Foul-mouthed’…coming from you, cupcake, that means less than nothing.
