However, another parallel is that views can change radically with new information as happened with Sandusky.

Here is a complete changeover by a scientist who was funded in the past by the Conservative Koch brothers.

“Humans are almost entirely the cause” of climate change, according to a scientist who once doubted that global warming even existed.

Last year, Richard Muller walked back years of climate change skepticism in light of new research. But Sunday’s comments go one step further.

Muller wrote in an NYT op-ed that after exhaustive research, he believes that an increase of greenhouse gases can be closely linked to the rise in the earth’s temperature. He explains:

Our results show that the average temperature of the earth’s land has risen by two and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the past 250 years, including an increase of one and a half degrees over the most recent 50 years. Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases
However, Muller said that he did not believe that the recent heat waves or Hurricane Katrina were caused by global warming.

Muller, a UCBerkeley professor, founded the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project, which receives substantial funding from GOP powerhouse donor Charles Koch.”

Given last winter’s warmth, and this summer’s drought and heat waves, I wonder how many others, are changing their minds.

Obviously, if you support a liberal agenda then anything you say must be the truth. Even if it isn’t.

Great post! “Wrong”, “is”, these lib psychos ala Spanier, Clinton, etal really have problems with the definitions of very simple words, the Nittanites ought to recall this guy and string him up.

When they hired him in 1995, the student body president at the University of Nebraska (which Spanier had headed) warned Penn State, saying, "Watch out for his social agenda and make sure he doesn't make it a priority over academics." The warning was prescient.

It certainly was. It took priority over academics and athletics.

What’s the saying?

Oh, yes: “Only in America.”

And Soviet Russia. And East Berlin. And Red China....

PA Ping!

What appalls me is that Spanier still has a job as Prof. of Human Development at PSU. This security thing is only a part-time gig.

Spanier should be in jail, and Mann should be in jail, too.

The common thread to both of these Penn State cover-ups is (wait for it)... the MONEY.
Surprise, surprise.
