[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

[Mr. Silverback 1043] Coyoteman had a habit of accusing people on this site who disagreed with him on scientific issues of supporting the destruction of the Constitution.

[grey_whiskers] And once warned, suggested to JR that the site would be overrun with fringe posters who equated science with Satanism...(post 54) which is when he got banned.

Someone on this thread mentioned CM's valuable "knowledge", whatever that means. I had to laugh when I read that. CM was on his "you are anti-science" kick for years. A long time ago I compiled some instances. Since then he probably threw around the "science-denier" epithet hundreds of additional times:

To: Coyoteman; metmom; DaveLoneRanger; Jim Robinson

Sorry, I don't visit those places... You are just blowing smoke.

Oh, but you do inhabit dens of anti-Freeping:

"I run five websites... But if you mean Darwin Central, I do not run that site. I am a guest there and, for reasons unknown to me, a moderator there" [Coyoteman]

As everyone knows, Dem Central is a premiere anti-Freeping site. Freeper Michael_Michaelangelo describes it thus: "I decided to have a look at the DarwinCentral site last night. The first thread I found was a rather large one trashing FR and Jim Rob. Nice. You must be proud to be a member."

I may be saying that about some of our posters here,

No, this piece of shoddy apologetics won't do. For as will be presently shown, your involvement in accusations of "anti-science" extends to more than just a few individual Freepers.

As you have said: "The left is fond of saying conservatives are anti-science" and we shall see that you are extremely fond of this leftist tactic.

First let's start with the small stuff. To the following Freepers you have hurled general epithets and imputations tarring them as anti-science: Theo, Sopater, GodGunsGuts, Andrew Byler, Wakeup Sleeper, dsc, RobbyS, editor-surveyor. But that's gathered from just a small sampling of your countless posts. You have also done so with the following Freepers: DaveLoneRanger, NewLand, Creationist, metmom, Ethan Clive Osgoode, rbmillerjr, CottShop, Sola Veritas, and even Ann Coulter. Let us tabulate some of your remarks to and about these latter Freepers:

Creationist. "You have shown yourself to be a true science-denier."

CottShop. "I am one of those scientist types you disparage so much."

Sola Veritas. "You should not try to discredit scientists for adhering to the methods of science."

DaveLoneRanger. "As a religiously-motivated science-denier... your opinions on science are not worth much." "Why can't you admit you hate science as well?" "Your hatred for science is clear for others to see." "You ping your list of science-deniers to nice science threads so they can come and trash them, then you claim you are not anti-science?" ""A nice science thread and you ping your list of science-deniers to it." "You yourself trash science every chance you get, then you claim you are not anti-science?"

NewLand. "I challenge your "we're not anti-science" claim. You are anti-science."

Ethan Clive Osgoode. "are you just anti-science?"

metmom. "Do you hate science, and the results of science, so much that you are willing to spread falsehoods in an attempt to discredit them, when the actual facts can be easily learned? It sure seems so."

rbmillerjr. "Sorry you found Darwin Central boring. Those of us who enjoy science and science literacy appreciate the level of discourse which we find there."

Ann Coulter. "...loaded with anti-science propaganda"

Not only are all these freepers tarred as "anti-science" by you, but also, if you will note, every Freeper on DaveLoneRanger's ping list is called, by you, a "science-denier". And this would include SirLinksalot, gobucks, mikeus_maximus, JudyB1938, isaiah55version11_0, Elsie, LiteKeeper, and a lot of others. Then there are your broad generalizations like this one: "Many on this thread appear to be science-deniers." Now, all this adds up to more than a few Freepers. But there's much more.

With this comment...

"Evangelicals typically deny much of science." [Coyoteman]

you throw a very big chunk of FR members into the "science-denier", "science-hater" bucket, most of whom don't even bother with the crevo threads. But your accusations don't even stop there. According to you, the management of FreeRepublic is anti-science:

"Then, a year or so ago when the admins and management started playing games and banning pro-science posters, many others took the hint and left. That is when Darwin Central was formed -- as a refuge." [Coyoteman]

And, according to you, FreeRepublic itself is an anti-science forum:

"Scientists have been told that they are not wanted here" [Coyoteman]

"FR in the last year or so has taken a decided anti-science stance" [Coyoteman]

"FR has turned anti-science in the last year or so" [Coyoteman]

"The reception scientific research receives at FR is dismal, based more on ignorance and superstition than scientific knowledge." [Coyoteman]

In fact, you see yourself as one of the few Freepers who are not science-hating "science deniers":

"It leaves me still advocating for science and the scientific method. (But its getting pretty lonely in these here parts lately!)" [Coyoteman]

Your FR career has been a massive exercise in the leftist tactic of tarring conservatives as "anti-science", "science-deniers", and "science-haters".

Ignoring facts, logic, and reason is more of a leftie trait than a conservative trait.

Your philosophy of science (Kuhn) is a typically leftist one - you know, the kind that says we shouldn't use the word "truth" and so on. As Jim Robinson said to Ichneumon: "some of you are absolutely worthless to the cause of conservatism."

Would all that fall under the category of *evidence*?
