Why the Media Are Ignoring the Dangerous Ideas of Joni Ernst and Other Extremists (Lib Say Oink!)
The Nation ^ | 11-3-2014 | Leslie Savan

Posted on 11/04/2014 8:15:45 AM PST by Citizen Zed

Joni Ernst, who may become Iowa’s next senator, denies climate change, supports a personhood amendment and says she’d use her “beautiful little Smith & Wesson” to defend herself “from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important.” She’s also seriously flirted with a John Birch Society–backed conspiracy theory about an evil plot called Agenda 21.

But all you’d know from the corporate media is that Ernst made a really catchy ad about castrating pigs and that she is supposedly (but not really) the victim of a sexist remark made by outgoing Democratic senator Tom Harkin.

Limiting government tyranny and overreach into our everyday lives equals “dangerous” to a left wing moonbat.

Hey Leslie!

Why are the media ignoring the FELONIES of Jeanne Shaheen and the complicity of the IRS?

> denies climate change,

Idiots.

Nobody “denies” climate change.

We just deny that it happens the way the enviro-fascists say, and that the results will be what the fascists say.

The emotionally charged word “denier” is used to connect to the denial of the Nazi holocaust those who reject the enviro-whacko explanation for climatic variances.

She's in good company. The author might be familiar with a document which starts: "When in the Course of human events,..."

Leslie, honey, when you think you are the only sane person in the world, you have a problem . . . probably 80% of the world looks to be extremist from your eyes.

A prime example of Limbaugh’s Rules of Life, IMO.

So, are we saying that there’s no such thing as Agenda 21? Hey, it was the UN that passed Agenda 21 on “sustainable development,” not the John Birch Society. It’s on the record.

And what does “sustainable development” mean? It means kill off all the excess population and useless eaters. It means that corrupt government bureaucrats get to say what’s best for the environment.

Yeah, she was supposedly the victim of a sexist remark by Tom Harkin, who was really referring to a different Joni Ernst.

It is depressing how Liberal Ernst comes across in this article. They left out the part about her eating babies.

Agenda 21 just ain’t democrats. Joni is going to be up against both parties on that one.
