"There is nothing to see here! AGW is real! Do not be deceived by the proof that the data were made-up!"

"....But Democrats put a brave face on it on Wednesday, with Massachusetts Rep. Ed Markey saying that the leaked files and allegations of scientific misconduct should not stand in the way of the U.S. Congress swiftly enacting cap and trade legislation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
"But when Holdren showed up at the Rayburn House Office Building, he end up being pressed on ClimateGate and little else. He denied its significance, calling the embarrassing disclosures "not remotely sufficient to demonstrate a culture of corruption" and said "as to exactly what went on in the way of manipulation of data, that remains to be seen." He objected to the idea of an independent probe -- the CRU received U.S. government grants -- on grounds that he's not sure an "independent investigation by the Congress of the United States is a way to get at the truth."
TIME FOR PROSECUTIONS!
It’s like Dan Blather once said, “Even if the evidence is fake, it’s still true”. BS then, BS now.
"There is nothing to see here! AGW is real! Do not be deceived by the proof that the data were made-up!"
Someone commented at some Climategate link I read today that Holdren is implicated himself in the emails. Does anyone know if this is true? It’s a bombshell if it’s true.
Can these guys get any dumber? I know, the answers is yes.
Ping to info that cripplecreek dug up. Must read.
The fact that Obama sat on the board of the Joyce foundation when they funded the opening of the Chicago climate exchange is interesting to say the very least.
On September 8, 2004, Dan Rather cited “exclusive information, including documents” to justify major CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes stories alleging that George W. Bush shirked his duties when he was in the Texas Air National Guard in the 1960s and 1970s. Within a few hours of those documents being posted on CBS News’s Web site, however, typography experts voiced skepticism that the documents had actually originated with their alleged author and Bush’s former commanding officer, the late Lt. Colonel Jerry Killian. As the evidence mounted, Rather stubbornly clung to the idea that his story was bulletproof, and he derided critics as partisans and Internet rumormongers. When he “apologized” on September 20, Rather would not concede that the documents were forgeries, only that he and CBS could “no longer vouch for their authenticity.”
CBS Disregarded Experts, Challenged Laura Bush: ABC’s Brian Ross reported on the September 14 World News Tonight that “two experts hired by CBS News say the network ignored concerns they raised prior to the broadcast about the disputed National Guard records.” But over on CBS, reporter John Roberts wondered why President Bush wasn’t taking those memos seriously: “The President has yet to weigh in on new documents about his National Guard record made public last week by 60 Minutes.” Roberts also chastised First Lady Laura Bush for doubting CBS’s memos were authentic: “Laura Bush offered no evidence to back up her claim, and CBS News continues to stand by its reporting.”
Sticking By His Smear: On September 10, Dan Rather responded to charges the memos he cited as proving Bush’s dereliction were forged, telling his CBS Evening News audience that the memos were genuine and attacking any doubters as partisan rumor-mongers. “Today, on the Internet and elsewhere, some people, including many who are partisan political operatives, concentrated not on the key questions of the overall story, but on the documents that were part of the support of the story,” Rather castigated. But his lame defense ignored key challenges to the documents’ typography and content, and the doubts voiced by the widow and son of the supposed author, the late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian. Instead, Rather chose to repeat his indictment of President Bush’s National Guard service. Rather arrogantly concluded: “If any definitive evidence to the contrary of our story is found, we will report it. So far there is none.” (CyberAlert, September 11, 2004)
CBS apparently hasn't learned it's lesson, but will soon pay a heavy price.
If they fail to see the problem here....and i’m terribly afraid that’s the case...ugly’s gonna get re-defined somehow.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 by five members of the United States House of Representatives: Representatives Ron Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Then-Representative Bernie Sanders was the convener and first. The founding members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession, the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response at the time.
Additional House representatives joined soon, including Major Owens (D-NY), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), David Bonior (D-MI), Bob Filner (D-CA), Barney Frank (D-MA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Patsy Mink (D-HI), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), John Olver (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
Absolute idiots in Congress. They have no clue the implications of what they actually say.
Willful deceit is OK in their book.
Do you mean Science Czar, John Holdren, that wrote Ecoscience- http://www.amazon.com/Ecoscience-Population-Environment-Paul-Ehrlich/dp/0716700298/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books
This review of EcoScience is headed “John Holdren, Obama’s Science Czar, says: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet: Book he authored in 1977 advocates for extreme totalitarian measures to control the population”- http://zombietime.com/john_holdren/
The first three paragraphs of the review copied below don’t sound very good.
***************************
Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A “Planetary Regime” with the power of life and death over American citizens.
The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?
These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States’ Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:
Dumb as a bunch of foxes. It’s about grabbing more and more control of this country’s wealth and ultimately control of the population.
I think about now there is a pack of hounds chasing those foxes....
They figure, what does it matter if millions of us protest, when we state up front that we will doing nothing if ignored and crapped upon afterwords.
Where is the threat? These people live by intimidation and understand nothing less. Polite, civilized respect earns nothing more than disdain (at best). Like all despots, they consider our morals and integrity as weaknesses to be derided and exploited.
Impeach.
I'm ready...
Yep..that Holdren. Thanks for posting the info on him for the thread record. We are being taken over by communists and fascists and it’s going to get ugly. There are millions of us that have had enough of this crap.
