Morning Joe Guest: ClimateGate Scientists Being 'Swiftboated'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/04/2009 5:02:48 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Fake but accurate rides again! The same lame defense Dan Rather used in Memogate has been trotted out on ClimateGate by Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs.

Appearing on Morning Joe today, the author of Common Wealth [note play on words: your money is our money] alleged that the real victims in this scandal are . . . the number-fudging scientists. People are attempting to "Swiftboat" those poor CRU guys, sighed Sachs. For good measure, the good professor asserted that "what happened is not a very big deal."

The only problem is that John Kerry still has refused to release his medical records! Sachs seems to think that “Swiftboated” means some kind of organized distortion of the truth. It seems to me that there could well be another definition: “To have the truth about your actions exposed by those who were there.”

Has Climategate been mentioned before on the show -- I mean at least an accurate summary of what's involved? Or is the first thing viewers are seeing on it the defense (such as it is)? I think the MSM has used this MO before -- ignore the original story, but a week or two or three later give a lot of coverage to the denials!

I gave money to the Swift Boat Vets (Jim O Neill) in 2004, he is what made that election enjoyable. I loved watching Kerry get mad, or act mad, he was so robotic.

JEFFREY SACHS: This is pretty serious. Not what happened(the global warming numbers fraud) , but how it’s being responded to(the outing) . Because this is really trying to Swiftboat science (Al Gore).

Have you ever noticed that Republicans never get “Swiftboated”? Only Democrats and liberals.

The “scientist” says that we have had a decades long crisis in the environment. What in the world is the definition of a crisis for these loons?

Great point. At the rate the temperature is failing to rise, this “crisis” could go on for centuries!

I saw this interview this morning, and as usual, Joe performed the role of RINO stooge well. They all sat there and let this fool blather on...

Joe probably never heard of it before, like Charles Gibson and the ACORN tapes a couple months back.

I saw Professor Sucks on Morning Joe. Sucks remains a true believer, if there ever was one.
