Climategate controversy has echoes of Watergate, UN says

It certainly provided a lesson on how those people cover up. All speculation, designed to keep a moralizer's patina intact.

Perhaps it'll be used as part of a homeschool lesson. "Based upon this document, what do those people do when the hands of their friends are caught in the act?"

[Billthedrill]

It may have similarities to Watergate but that isn't one of them. Funny, isn't it, how the last thing the defenders of this scam want to talk about is whether the emails and what they reveal are true?

It's only one line of evidence out of dozens of lines of evidence.

That's what's most interesting in all of this. The CRU was a clearinghouse for raw data and their data are quoted not in one of dozens of papers on this, but in dozens of dozens. What real scientists are asking now is "How dirty are the data and where do they appear?" What political activists seeking power are asking is "How do we cover this up?" So yes, in that at least, it is very much like Watergate.

Don’t concern yourself about the allegations that we lied, covered things up, enriched ourselves and are trying to take over your lives on the basis of lies.

No, no - just worry that some hackers are bringing all that stuff to light....

" 0bama is simply Jim Jones with a Teleprompter..."





Teleprompter Jones to the tune and words of ( Basketball Jones from Cheech and Chong )



TELEPROMPTER JONES

Teleprompter Jones, I got a Teleprompter Jones Got a Teleprompter Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-oo

Yes, I am the victim of a Teleprompter Jones.
Ever since I was a little baby, I always be lying'
In fac', I was de baddest lier in the whole neighborhood
Then one day, my mama bought me a Teleprompter
And I loved that Teleprompter
I took that Teleprompter with me everywhere I went
That Teleprompter was like a Teleprompter to me

I even put that Teleprompter underneath my pillow
Maybe that's why I can't sleep at night
I need help, ladies and gentlemens
I need someone to stand beside me
I need, I need someone to set a pick for me at the
free-throw line of life
Someone I can pass a lie to
Someone to hit the open man on the shuck-and-jive
And not end up in the popcorn machine
So MSM cheerleaders, help me out

{MSM cheerleaders sing repeatedly...}
(Teleprompter Jones, we got a Teleprompter Jones) (We got a Teleprompter Jones, OBAMA O baby, oo-oo-ooo)

{while Tyrone Rev. Wright Shoelaces sings/speaks...}
Oh, that sounds so sweet
Sing it out
C'mon Coach Booty, Red Blazer, sing along with me That be bad, the honky
Yeah
I want everybody in the whole stadium to stand up and sing with us
Oh yeah, sing it out like you're proud
All right, everybody watchin' coast-to-coast, sing along with us
The Axe, David Axselrod, sing along with us
Chick Heath ,Kieth, Olberman, sing along with us
Chris Mr. BO'tingles, don't sing nothin'

Oh, it feels so good
Gimme the prompter
I'll go one-on-one against the world, with the left-handed MSM
I could stuff it to the right and center court with my toes
I could prompt on top of the worldstage, take off a quarter, leave fifteen cents for Hope & Change
I could, I could lie behind my back I got more moves than Ex-Lax I'm bad
I could lie with my tongue, Here I go down court,
Try to stop me

“ROTFLOL!! The only reason the liberals think that way is because ..... THAT’S WHAT THEY WOULD DO - SO THEY ASSUME EVERYBODY ELSE DOES IT TOO!!!”

We have a winner!!

[tet68]

Jean, screw you, your mother, your cat, your dog and the horse you rode in on.

All at the same time?
Now that’s kinky!
It only is missing a dwarf.

[holden]

I hope the parallels to Watergate are that the US President, though he may not have been complicit in the original crime, wholeheartedly went into cover-up mode when the initial crimes were exposed, ultimately causing the President to see the wisdom of resigning.

[bert]

Can UN officials be sentenced to death?

[Chances Are]

And how do you know this, c'est vous plais?

Just a small nit-picking point, but...

While I'll be the first to admit my French ain't what it used to be, I believe that's really, "sil' vous plais".

Just something for future reference.

You're point, however, is spot-on. Please, carry on!

CA....

Exactly —— the only reasonable analogy to Watergate is with the COVER-UP.

These UN/IPCC frauds think they can keep everyone focused only upon the release of the emails and docs as though no one should even think about the flippin’ CONTENT of those materials.

Unlike every kind of “whistle-blower” episode beloved by the left, where illegality never matters (to the left) so long as their politically correct issues are advanced, now the scumsuckers turn on a dime and pretend that the only issue which matters is the fact the docs were released, and nothing about the content may be seriously discussed.

[ChildOfThe60s]

"It doesn't change anything in the IPCC's conclusions."

Fake but accurate. Same old playbook. Grounds for a public horse whipping, IMO.

[US_MilitaryRules]

You definitely need to put algore’s pic at the bottom.

[Jack Black]

Yep. Pentagon Papers not Watergate. Whistle-blower, not “hacker” or theif. Righteous debunking of official lies. The leaker should be protected by whistle-blower laws.

Right, and when the shopping grandparents were out illegally recording Gingrich/Boehner cell phone calls, the only important issue was that Gingrich and Boehner were talking about things they shouldn't have, supposedly. That several laws were broken by the "grandparents," McDermott and the New York Times wasn't important at all back then!

They think they're exempt from charges of hypocrisy, as we're supposed to know by now they won't agree to be held to any particular moral compass we might think should be operative. In other words, their criminal enterprise always will side with the position that's most favorable to the democrats, e.g., The Torch, NJ, and the Mass. Senate seat.

"One effect of this is to make scientists lose lots of time checking things.

We wouldn't want to be too careful.....

Now would we?
