Myths Run Wild in Blog Tsunami Debate 

...On Democratic Underground, a blog for open discussion and an online gathering place for people who hate the Bush administration, a participant asked, "Since we know that the atmosphere has become contaminated by all the atomic testing, space stuff, electronic stuff, earth pollutants, etc., is it logical to wonder if: Perhaps the 'bones' of our earth where this earthquake spawned have also been affected?"

The cause of the earthquake and resulting killer wave, the writer said, could be the war in Iraq. "You know, we've exploded many millions of tons of ordnance upon this poor planet," the writer said. "All that 'shock and awe' stuff we've just dumped onto the Asian part of this earth - could we have fractured something? Perhaps the earth was just reacting to something that man has done to injure it. The earth is organic, you know. It can be hurt..."

The DUmmies have done an outstanding job of impaling their own credibility with the MSM.

I can't freep 24-7 and have to sleep. I usually sleep for about seven hours, unless I wake up in my sleep and hit the computer ;-)

It is fairly common for right-wing Web sites to cherry-pick the most extreme or outlandish posts from our forum in order to paint all liberals as wacky or extreme.

The hard part is finding sane statements in the pile. Rational posters don't last long there. They make it hard to "cherry pick" posts as there are so many loony ideas to choose from at DU.
