Neil deGrasse Tyson is a racist and a hate-filled bigot like most liberal democrats. He also hosts the podcast StarTalk radio show.
Big surprise.
“I transposed one disaster with another (both occurring within 18 months of one another) in my assigning his quote. Perhaps that’s a measure of how upset I was in both cases.”
Wow. “Upset”?
Someone needs to spend more time on actual research (does this guy even work in his field?) instead of acting like some special snowflake because Bush said something that upset your tummy.
One of the key tenets of the scientific method is to accept data contrary to your theories and to adjust your theories accordingly. Clearly not happening here...
Sorry, I read “black astrophysicist” as “affirmative action diversity mascot.”

Note that they deleted any reference to the controversy under their "Violations of the biographies of living persons policy" despite the fact that none of the facts in the matter are in dispute. Just for comparison, I went to Pat Buchanan's page (picking someone I knew they would hate) and sure enough they even have an anti-semetic quote which he is alleged to have said but which he claims is fabricated and for which there is no evidence at all hat he said it.
Strip away the newspeak and their policy should be called "Violations of the biographies of living obama Supporters".
Kind of ironic that these “science” guys forget that facts matter more than emotional desire.
I liked him until I gagged my way through three (yes three) COSMOS episodes.
What a joke.
Sorry, Neal, you had the education and the chance to help sell science.
You blew it big time, and in doing so, you have taken a bodacious Obama on science.
Go away and share a house with Holder.
Apparently he doesn’t know how to use google. Typical Affirmative Action PHD.
Pray America wakes
There are two problems with Tyson's response, however.
There are three problems.
Third, the Columbia accident was a disaster. 9/11 was a terrorist act of war.

Tyson is not a scientist except of the Pseudo variety. He has not the skeptical disposition of a scientist. For him all hypotheses that have ideological usefulness are “settled science.” For a scientist there are NO settled questions, no fields closed to inquiry.
This guy turned out to be real tool just like Bill Nye (no there is an angry little liberal).
Unbelievable. "Oh, I was pretty upset on both occasions. And, man, isn't the mind a crazy thing? We'll surely do science-y things with it later on. Really makes you think..."
This guy is some sort of expert on something or other? Pathetic who the left champions as their heroes.
