Beam me to Planet Gore !

If every great cause requires an even greater villain, Democratic greens have found one in Sarah Palin.
House Democrats spent Thursday targeting former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for using e-mails, many from the 1990s, from English climate scientists to bolster her claim that global warming is “bogus” and ridiculing her op-ed in The Washington Post calling for President Barack Obama to boycott the Copenhagen climate talks.
Palin and other critics of Copenhagen have seized on a passel of stolen messages reportedly showing that scientists from East Anglia University may have fudged climate change findings.
Progressives, in damage control mode, have quickly countered with an avalanche of untainted peer-reviewed reports pointing to man-made global warming.
“Before Sarah Palin writes a book, she should try reading a few,” said Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), who followed up with a series of peer-reviewed reports on rising sea levels, air temperatures and ocean acidity.
Palin’s position is “worse than one of denial – it’s one of defeatism,” added Inslee, echoing earlier comments by former Vice-President Al Gore.
“Ex-Governor Palin is at it again, [she] somehow has discovered some kind of smoking gun,” added Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who compared Palin’s statements to her support of the discredited “death panel” charges over the summer.
“There is no there,” he added. “And the ex-governor’s state has [suffered] the greatest impact in terms of global warming of any state in the nation…It’s absolutely critical that we not allow the same sort of death panel, swift-boating to occur.”(continued)

“If every great cause requires an even greater villain...”

The now decades-old, green movement mythology is most assuredly NOT a “great cause”.
Considering the flak GOVERNOR (not ex-governor, you duncehead Blumenauer!) Palin is attracting, she must be right over the target! GLOBAL WARMING IS BOGUS PING!
“Before Sarah Palin writes a book, she should try reading a few,” said Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), who followed up with a series of peer-reviewed reports on rising sea levels, air temperatures and ocean acidity.”

This snide reference to "emails, many from the 1990s" is intended to convey an air of irrelevancy, a notion that the emails are ancient history, old news, no longer of any serious interest to anyone. You are not supposed to conclude that the tainting of climate change data has been going on for a very long time - unnoticed, undetected, unreported.
What we need is a good script for a Hollywood movie -a blockbuster sci-fi plot that uncovers this diabolical Marxist conspiracy on Global gobbledegook.
Funded by Rush - directed by Clint Eastwood - starring Jon Voigt, Chuck Norris and other conservative notables.
Start your creative engines!!!!!
Micro-monitor every word uttered by the fascist left about Gov Palin. Sue the snots out of ‘em, sue ‘em into penury if ONE item is actionable.
Salt the fields!
We all know what "peer-reviewed" means in this context, but what can he possibly mean by "untainted"????
These people simply cant write about here without lying! She never said global warming was bogus, she said she didn't think man was the primary cause - BIG difference.
In scientific circles, what they describe so casually as "may have fudged" is as serious an infraction as Tiger Woods' "may have strayed" incidents. Defending the analysis by saying that peer-reviewed reports (some or all based on the fudged data) show otherwise is like saying that Tiger's long-term relationships with multiple mistresses during his marriage show that he can uphold a relationship.
Strangle the last environmentalist with the intestines of the last Democrat. Salt their fields, poison their wells, raze their towns, and carry their women off into captivity.
Not Helen Thomas.
Politico just can't help themselves. They have to lie even when it's not necessary.
Progressives, in damage control mode, have quickly countered with an avalanche of untainted peer-reviewed reports pointing to man-made global warming.There isn't an avalanche, because there are ZERO untainted peer-reviewed reports pointing to man-made global warming. Again, this article or rather op-ed is merely more spin by the partisan media shills. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Climate change is 100 percent natural 100 percent of the time.

Allready been done. State of Fear by Michael Crichton
“Discredited ‘death panels’?”
OMG - I read the synopsis - and the furor that his book caused in the climate *science* community.
Did not remember that he died only last year while being treated for throat cancer and lymphoma.
The man was a prescient genius. Died too young and too soon.
thx for the info - I don’t read enough((((((((((blush))))))))))
I smell ‘Rat fear.
