2 watchdog groups support biologists in lynx hair case

Two left-leaning watchdog groups have emerged as the first defenders of biologists who planted false evidence of a rare cat in national forests.

Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and the Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics say no wrong was committed and that the employees are targets of a political "witch hunt."

The communists in our midst are getting fairly brazen.

But the hard-core Patriots show no sign whatsoever of budging.

While an enormous number of dull-witted sheep graze witlessly between them.

I'm guessing that long-term political stability is probably not one of our options

Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and the Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics say no wrong was committed and that the employees are targets of a political "witch hunt."

Both of these organizations should be discredited and defunded for supporting fraud of the U.S. taxpayer.

"It's really about well-intentioned scientists..."

No, it's not. How could these b*stards possibly misconstrue this offence so radically?!

I'll tell you why!(you knew I would! ;^])

They prefer to divert discussion to the self-reported mental states of these conspirators rather than to focus on the violation of American citizens' inalienable rights. If ordinary folks were to give thought to what these larval tyrants are up to, they'd soon have their sucking mouths torn from the public teat.

Thanks for the ping.

These articles need to be pinged to the Klamath List. It is only people who requested to get a ping. Sending you the list.

"The Forest Service began an investigation but hit a dead end when some employees refused to cooperate."

Fire the whole damn department !!!

[MissAmericanPie]

I'm so glad to see that we are hitting back on so many fronts. It's about time.

[Rowdee]

And firing this whole damn (F.S.) department should be just the beginning.....

[anniegetyourgun]

You're right - it's insubordination.

These two groups being called "watchdog groups" is laughable.

[headsonpikes]

They call themselves 'watchdogs'.

Sorry. Being a son-of-a b*tch does not make one an actual useful dog.

"It's really about well-intentioned scientists trying to make sure a process works properly

Then they should (and could) have had a mechanism to assure the process was properly controlled and monitored.

Fire the whole damn department !!!

If that's what it takes to bring these pseudo-scientists under control. It wouldn't be hard to replace them.

[Darksheare]

No.. it'll only be stable as long as no-one scares the sheep.
Oops. Seems like they're trying. Popular Science has an 'overhead imagery' shot showing that the 'ozone hole' is the biggest yet.

Here's a real gem from a PEER article about Wise Use:

Public employees around the nation have been and continue to be the target of harassment, threats, intimidation,beatings and bombings.

Help pick the day's most interesting story! Society of Environmental Journalists: "The source for journalists reporting on the environment."

There used to be a time when legitemate activists, for any cause, would shun and distance themselves from those who stepped over the line, and denounce them harshly.
I guess that means there are a lot less legitemate activists nowadays.
