Time Text
As we reported out there yesterday, big trouble for the Democrats.
Harold Ford in Tennessee losing ground to Bob Corker.
A little interesting sidebar to that, too.
They had a debate, local TV in Tennessee, and they did, TV station did an analysis after the debate.
And they had a couple of their people, an anchor, and they had somebody from the Ford campaign.
They forgot to put somebody from the Corker campaign on to do post-debate analysis.
And the TV station's actually apologized for it, but the damage is done.
Greetings and welcome back, thrill seekers and music lovers.
Rush Limbaugh here, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, 800-282-2882, and the email address rush at EIBnet.com.
You won't see much about this, but Ned Lament is slipping in Connecticut as well.
What's happening there is that a number of Democrats are beginning to say, you know, I really won't care if Lieberman ends up back there.
Lament's sort of stepping in it.
He went on Chris Matthews the other night and said he would support a military assault on Iran.
Chris Matthews couldn't believe it.
Said that we have to be prepared for all contingencies.
And then Lament has stooped to something that he really got caught on, forcing Lieberman to defend his civil rights record because he, well, he did it because a black Democrat group charged that he has lied about his 1960s activism fighting segregation in the South.
Lieberman said, yes, that's really outrageous.
And of course, it's a lie.
The Connecticut Federation of Black Democratic Clubs, which includes 20 clubs across the state, endorsed Lieberman's rival, Ned Lament, and questioned whether he marched for civil rights.
Senator, the Connecticut Federation of Black Democratic Clubs is offended by your TV ad, which claims that you were an advocate for African Americans' first-class citizenship, and as such, you marched for our civil rights, said Henry E. Parker, former state treasurer, during a news conference attended by Lament.
Now, don't think Lament just showed up to attend.
I mean, Lament, Lament had to know this was going to happen.
Our research indicates that there is no evidence of you taking any action that could be described as an initiative to remove the shackles of second-class citizenship.
Lieberman's campaign posted a 1963 college newspaper clip that cites his reporting from Jackson, Mississippi about the arrests of civil rights workers.
Lieberman was chairman of the Yale Daily News at the time.
Was I there, Lieberman said?
You bet I was there.
Lieberman said he led a group of Yale students to Mississippi.
Also recalled being part of the Washington, D.C. crowd at Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech in August of 1963.
Lement's campaign manager Tom Swan said Lament was not questioning Lieberman's civil rights background.
However, Lement's campaign paid for a flyer that the group distributed at the event.
Ned Lement was right there.
He can't discount this, said Lieberman, noting that Lament voiced no disagreement with the group's charges at the news conference.
So Lement's been trapped, befuddled, whatever.
And this is, I think, also they're neck and neck in New Jersey.
Tom Kane Jr. with Robert Menendez, the incumbent.
Ladies and gentlemen, during the break, a friend of mine sent me an email.
I don't visit the Democrat Kook websites much anymore, but a friend does.
It's just funny.
What is this site?
Prisonplanet.com.
It's an article here by Alex Jones.
Now, I'm told, I don't know this for certain.
I'm told that Alex Jones is one of the leaders of the 9-11 was a government conspiracy campaign.
One of the leaders of the movement trying to prove it 9-11 was not what it was.
The Bush administration was behind it for whatever nefarious purpose.
Let me just read this to you.
Headline, Fox News Spin's plane accident says it could affect election.
The FBI and Homeland Security are now labeling a small aircraft hitting an apartment building in Manhattan as a probable accident.
Is this a government psyop intended to invoke memories of 9-11 as the midterm elections approach?
On Fox News, Your World with Neil Cavuto, Cavuto suggested during a conversation with Congressman Peter King that the event would possibly affect the upcoming midterm election by reminding Americans of the horror of 9-11.
It has now been reported the pilot, one of the occupants of the plane, was Corey Lytle.
The fact that the accident in now, listen to this.
The fact that the accident involves a celebrity means the networks can justifiably talk about it for another three weeks.
And in that sense, invoking memories of 9-11, it could impact the election.
Reports that Lytle's passport was found on the street, also seen as suspicious by some 9-11 truthers, because it would seemingly prop up the inconceivable notion that Mohammed Atta and other hijackers' passports survived and were discovered.
However, in the case of Lytle, this could easily be explained by eyewitness reports that most of the plane debris did not enter the building and ended up on the street below.
They believe that this is a psychological ops operation designed to make you think of 9-11 to impact negatively the Democrats in the upcoming election.
I have noticed also, ladies and gentlemen, there's a tremendous number of stories on voter fraud out there all of a sudden.
One from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from yesterday, suspect voter registration cards found in St. Louis, details coming up.
Will Lester, the Associated Press, and this story.
I got it.
I saw it at the UK Guardian, but Will Lester is an American AP writer.
And this story is entitled, Report Voter Fraud May Be Overstated.
Now, I'm sure some of you might have seen this.
And when you first saw the story and read it, you probably thought, aha, somebody's done a look-see and they found out that there isn't all this voter fraud going on out there.
And you thought it was probably good news.
But that's why I'm here and you're there.
That's why I'm on this side of the microphone and you are listening.
Because the real purpose of this story, ladies and gentlemen, is to short-circuit reports of voter fraud.
Voter fraud is widespread and it is blatant, as this story from the St. Louis Post Dispatch, which I will share with you in mere moments, indicates.
So why do we have a story from the AP that says voter fraud may be overstated?
Simple.
The voter fraud that's taking place out there is occurring vastly by Democrats.
And so they're trying to say there is no voter fraud.
I guarantee you, if they had found evidence of Republican voter fraud, it would be an entirely different story.
Then there is a companion story to this at slate.com by Bruce Reed, former Clinton Domestic Policy Advisor, and the headline, midterm limits, there is a conspiracy to steal the elections.
It's called redistricting.
Now, Snerdley, you are close to losing the bit.
It was just yesterday I predicted that we would get a story talking about how the Democrats are going to lose, and it may not be a bad thing given this, that, and the other thing.
Now, this story is not quite that.
But here we have Bruce Reed, a former Clinton domestic policy advisor, making up possible justifications for electoral failure.
And it's all about redistricting.
And guess what?
It's all Tom DeLay's fault.
Details on all of this coming up, plus your phone calls after this.
Don't go away, my friends.
Okay, in order, here we go.
And welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, by the way, America's real anchorman serving humanity simply by showing up here on the famous EIB network.
St. Louis Post Dispatch yesterday suspect voter registration cards found in St. Louis.
St. Louis Election Board officials say they've discovered at least 1,492 potentially fraudulent voter registration cards, including three from dead people, one from a 16-year-old among the thousands pouring in before today's voter registration deadline for the November 7th election.
One thing we all know is these voter registration deadlines don't matter either.
City Republican Elections Director Scott Lindecker has said the board's staff expects to find even more bogus voter registration applications among the thousands remaining to be processed.
They plan to turn all the questionable cards over to the city circuit attorney Jennifer Joyce for the investigation and possible prosecution.
The board says all questionable cards were turned in by one group, ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
They're a far-left Democrat.
Now, you know, the media will call them a far-left Democrat watchdog group.
They are a far-left Democrat front group.
Just as this crew bunch behind the Foley emails being characterized as a watchdog group, it's a Democrat front group.
Statewide in Missouri, Acorn has turned in about 40,000 new voter registrations in recent weeks.
About 15,000 were collected in the city of St. Louis, 5,000 in St. Louis County.
The rest were primarily in the Kansas City area.
I'm sure there are some token Republicans in their registration, but that's what they would be.
Just token.
Acorn's voter registration collections have come under fire in recent weeks in several states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In St. Louis three years ago, the city election board reported finding more than 1,000 suspicious voter registration cards turned in by ACORN.
No one appears to have been prosecuted in that case, although Joyce's office has obtained convictions regarding fraudulent voter registration cards turned in by people working for other now-defunct groups.
Whelan and Meller, these are two people involved in this, also disputed a separate controversy ignited by a local political blog.
Said a former Acorn employee alleged that she and other voter registration workers had been told to promote the candidacy of state auditor Claire McCaskill, who's the Democrat running for the Senate seat there against Jim Talent.
So, folks, what we have here, and we have to admit, despite all of the news about hanging Chads, and don't forget all those hanging Chads and all those butterfly ballots and all the supposed fraud in Florida, three counties run by Democrats.
We've got the allegations of voter machine fraud in 2004 in Ohio.
But it seems to me that every story we encounter from false exit polling data being reported to voter fraud involves massive Democrat voter fraud.
The truth is, and let me just fire point blank both barrels, Democrats have absolutely no chance of winning without voter fraud, without falsely registering illegal voters, people from the grave, animals, pets, and so forth.
Now, here's the story by Will Lester, the Associated Press.
The most common form of voter fraud involves absentee ballots, including forgery and coercion in getting older or ailing voters to fill them out.
By the way, why do you think Democrats are against photo ID for voters?
You have to have photo ID for everything else.
Why?
Can't cheat that way.
Well, that makes it much harder.
Now, this report, this report that says voter fraud may be overstated, was prepared by Tova Wang.
Now, Tova Wang is an elections expert at the Century Foundation think tank, and she had help from Job Sarabrov, who is an Arkansas attorney.
Tova Wang worked as an independent political consultant and campaign staff member for a number of national and statewide political and advocacy groups.
She has worked for the Reverend Docs in his 1996 get out the vote effort, and in 1992 was Manhattan Field Director for the Clinton for President campaign.
And this is the woman who has co-authored the report stating voter fraud may be overstated, which is why, ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you that the reason for this is so that the real fraud that's going on out there will not be even looked upon as fraud because it's occurring far more often by Democrats and on behalf of Democrats than others.
And then this from Slate.com by Bruce Reed, Clinton Domestic Policy Advisor, all about how there is a conspiracy to steal the elections.
It's called redistricting, and it is all Tom DeLay's fault.
Tom DeLay traded his career for a mugshot in order to build the Republican majority's most formidable levy, the gerrymander of Texas's 32-seat delegation.
California Democrats opposed redistricting in order to punish Schwarzenegger.
As a result, House Republicans could well survive the worst political year in a generation without losing a single seat in the largest state and one of the bluest.
And because he got pounded at the polls, Schwarzenegger turned himself back into a centrist who's now riding the wave instead of drowning in the tsunami.
Even after pouring over this week's bleak poll numbers, Karl Rove isn't completely crazy to imagine his party holding onto the House in November.
Democrats aren't likely to win the popular vote by seven points, let alone 17.
But what's really keeping Rove's dark hopes alive, dark hopes, wanting to hold the House's dark hopes, is the firewall of safe districts that could enable the Republican Party to survive what would otherwise be a China syndrome political meltdown.
Hey, if it's that big, if it's a China syndrome, there's nothing that should be able to stop it.
That's nuclear.
So here's the snurdle.
You're getting close here to owing me big bucks.
We made that bet.
All right, to the phones, people patiently waiting.
Dave in Las Vegas.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Rush.
I thought it was kind of curious that Rory Reed is our county commissioner here and happens to also be the son of Harry Reid.
And I haven't heard that reported or even looked into at all.
Oh, what's suspicious about that?
That Dingy Harry's son is on the zoning committee board?
The county commissioner?
Yeah.
He's up for re-election, and his ads are real dude, he's quiet.
Well, let's examine this.
Yeah, yeah, let's examine this.
I'm trying to find the common link here.
We've got Dingy Harry, who did his shenanigans with Jay Brown and Harry Whittemore, two guys.
Jay Brown, investigated often by the feds for organized crime type activity.
Dingy Harry makes a handshake deal with this guy, buys some land for $400,000, has a handshake deal with Brown, gives his ownership back to the Brown LLC.
Forget the name of it.
Brown sells it later, four years later, and Reed, who doesn't own it anymore, gets $1.1 million, doesn't have to pay taxes much during this period of time.
One of the things that happened to make this property valuable, they had to rezone it because it had animals on it that were protected, and it was 90% owned by the federal government.
But they somehow got it zoned to make it commercial to build malls and golf courses, 16 golf courses, and so forth.
And you say that Harry Reed's son, Rory, being on the county commission might have something to do with this?
Well, it just seems like you might connect the dots there.
Well, I'm trying to connect the dots.
I'm trying to find out what's the common link here that would let me look at this.
Dingy Harry, Harry Brown, or Jay Brown and Harry's son.
I mean, why do we always want to blame the kids?
You're right.
I'm telling you, this is how the mainstream media would look at it.
So what?
Dingy Harry's sons on the commission?
County Committee.
I don't see the link.
How can you connect the dots?
Just because his son's there, I mean, are you against sons doing well in life?
Are you against sons following in their father's footsteps?
I'm afraid he is following his father's footsteps.
I mean, we'd have to condemn the whole Kennedy family if we're going to start condemning Rory.
As we should.
Yes, exactly right.
I'm just prepping you for what you're going to see in most of the drive-by media, that there is no connection, and I think you're being a paranoid conspirator.
I know.
All right.
Thanks much.
Thank you.
Thanks, Dad.
Appreciate it.
Bill in Cincinnati.
Welcome to the program.
Got one minute.
Can you say it in one minute?
Hey, Rush.
It's an honor to speak to you.
Thank you.
Real briefly, I'm a disabled retired fireman.
I'm in a whole lot of pain, and your three hours every day take my mind off the pain.
And I thank you for that.
Appreciate that.
Thanks very much.
The point I wanted to make, Rush, was I'm watching Fox yesterday cover the New York, you know, the plane wreck and the high-rise.
And I'm sitting next to my wife, and I see Charlie Wrangell's face on the Cavuto show.
And I tell my wife, I said, watch him somehow spin this into a bash Bush thing.
And I kind of was half-heartedly saying it.
And Neil questions Charlie in this somber voice about the markets reacting to this tragedy and how people thought it possibly could be terror-related.
And Charlie doesn't say, you know, my thoughts and prayers go to the innocent victims of this terrible accident, but he immediately says in a smiling way, I thought the market was reacting to the president's speech.
You are exactly right.
I have these sound bites.
I'll play them for you and the audience when we come back from this break here at the bottom of the hour.
Rushlin Ball, the EIB network, back after this.
And here we go, the Charles Wrangell soundbites on the Neil Cavuto show in Fox.
Yesterday afternoon, Cavuto on our first of two bites says, Congressman, what do you think of all this, the plane crash?
I thank God that it was not a terrorist attack.
Having been in New York on that Tuesday, September the 9th, I thought that was an accident.
Wait a minute.
Ho, What?
He just had to misspeak.
Having been in New York on that Tuesday, September the 9th, it was the...
Yeah, cue this back up.
When that went by, he knows obviously 9-11, and who doesn't know it's 9-11?
That's just a misspeak, right?
I mean, if this were Bush has said this, they'd be demanding the institutionalized psychological hospital, brain scan, or what have you.
Here it is again.
I thank God that it was not a terrorist attack.
Having been in New York on that Tuesday, September the 9th, I thought that was an accident.
And of course, it broke my heart.
And it's less aching in my heart now that it was a terrorist attack.
But I get no comfort at all in believing that we are prepared for a terrorist attack.
The jets went up after the fact.
I still wonder how a plane could fly up the Hudson and be able to do this type of damage.
Yeah, well, it is on its way to your district.
Had it not been derailed by whatever derailed it, it was on the way up the East River and then perhaps the Harlem River.
And then who knows where it was headed, Congressman.
Okay, so he's worried.
All this means they're worried that you're going to look at 9-11 in this, and so they got to turn this around and make it look like it's a security breach.
Cavuto says, well, what do you make of the fact that our financial markets are still on tender hooks as it relates to this stuff?
Now, by the way, the markets did plunge as though it was a terrorist attack.
And then when it was announced that it wasn't that, they came right back, recovered almost everything that they had lost in this brief period of time.
As you might suspect, Neil, I thought it fell after the president's speech on the state of the economy.
The president talking about how good the economy was.
For those people who have really not, their salaries have not kept up with this progress.
The people are losing their jobs, their pensions, and their health care.
I don't really think that they think borrowing from the Chinese in order to pay for a tax cut for the wealthy is the best way for our economy to go.
Charlie, only you could work in that into this discussion today, but congratulations.
So he did take the opportunity of this accident to trash the Bush administration and the economy.
So I had these bites.
I'm going to use them, but the caller referenced them and saw you want it, you got it.
On demand.
Robert and Phoenix, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, Rush.
Longtime listener since 1994.
Thank you for being an encouragement to those of us who like to work for a living and enjoy the prosperity that comes from being an American.
Thank you, sir.
We'll be here encouraging you for as long as that opportunity lasts.
Yes, sir.
Well, here recently, our votes have been neutralized by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
We voted in Arizona to make it mandatory that you have identification to register to vote and to vote.
And the Ninth Circuit Court said that that was unconstitutional, and they nullified my vote and the vote of a lot of the majority of people in Arizona that voted on that issue.
And they have granted voting rights to anybody who wants to come to Arizona and vote.
You don't need identification.
Come from Iran or North Korean.
Come from anywhere you want and vote in Arizona.
And it'll receive the same weight as any other.
Yeah, wait.
No, no, no, wait.
Don't go too far here.
They're not saying anybody illegal can come vote.
They might hope that that's what happens at the Ninth Circuit.
They're just saying that you don't have to have a photo ID to do it, that that is discriminatory and unfair and so forth.
But you still have to be legal in the country in order to vote according to their ruling.
The interesting thing is the Ninth Circus, as we all know, is comprised of a majority of liberals.
And you, you don't even need me to tell you this.
Draw your own conclusion.
What is so threatening about a photo ID to vote?
My God, look what else you need a photo ID to do.
Some young people need a photo ID to get into a movie.
You need a photo ID to open a check-in.
You need a photo ID to get an airplane.
It's all over, but not to vote.
And in Georgia, this is fascinating.
They proposed photo ID, mandatory, before you can register to vote and then vote.
And the Reverend Zach and a number of Democrats flew down there and raised hell.
And they said, you can't require that.
That's discrimination.
And people, discrimination?
How in the world can you say it's discrimination?
Well, because some of these people can't afford it.
And some of these people can't leave their homes.
I mean, some of these people can't afford to go get what it costs.
And they can't afford to leave their homes.
They're bedridden.
They're homebound.
They can't get out.
The state of Georgia said, no problem.
We'll pay for it.
We will make it free.
And in fact, we'll go to them.
And that really set the Reverend Jackson off.
Reverend Jack, you can't do that.
We're not falling for that trick.
People said, what trick?
Hey, we know who we're talking about here.
We're talking about poor blacks.
They have an institutional fear of government, even in the South to this day, throughout the whole country because of slavery.
They're not going to let some government revenueer in their house.
They're not going to let somebody poke around and plant drugs in their house and this story.
We're not going to let people in there.
And so the whole thing died.
Now, the reason that you fight this to that degree is because you've got to maintain your ability to defraud the whole process.
It's obvious.
I'm just going to tell you right now, Democrats can't win.
They can blame redistricting.
They can blame whatever they want.
But unless they can continue to get dead people to vote and other people to vote multiple times, they don't have a prayer.
They're outnumbered by Republicans nationwide.
They are, and certainly when you count the number of independents that end up voting Republican, it outnumbers them.
They do not have a good, good out-the-vote effort.
There's nothing inspirational going on in their party.
And they haven't been winning elections since 1994 anyway.
And I've always been amazed at the foregone conclusion that they're going to sweep it all this year.
Why?
Because people hate Bush and because everybody hates Republicans and Denny Hastert and Mark Foley and so forth.
I haven't bought it.
I don't buy it now.
Ray, Midland, Texas, thanks for waiting.
You're next on the program.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Mega Dittos, Rush.
How's it going?
Good.
Never better, sir.
Yeah, I was wanting to get your opinion on what you think about McCain sniping at Democrats instead of laying in bed with them, pretty much.
Well, we have some soundbites.
I had some sound bites from yesterday that I held over until today to discuss this.
Let's go back to audio soundbite number nine out there, Mike.
This is Tuesday in Michigan.
Here is McCain, and he's talking this, saying this about the Clintons and North Korea.
I would remind Senator Clinton and other Democrats critical of the Bush administration policies that the framework agreement her husband's administration negotiated was a failure.
Now we are facing the consequences of the failed Clinton administration policies, and we must stop at long last reinforcing failure with failure.
All right, now there's a number of ways to look at this.
The first thing that we have to say is he's right, right?
Now, if you want to go further and examine motivation, we can do that.
You see snow flurries in Chicago?
A sure sign of climate change brought on by human activity relating to global warming.
That's what they're going to say.
It snowed in Chicago, and I told you I bet you can look it up and find that it is.
But even so, it's going to be a sign of global warming for climate change brought on by excess on the part of Western societies.
At any rate, what he said is true.
And he's standing up for the Bush administration, and he is ripping the Clintons.
So you want to go to motivation.
Now, motivation is one of two things, and maybe more.
The first thing is he's got a figure that he thinks he's going to be the nominee, and he also got a figure that he thinks his opposition is going to be Hillary.
Never too soon to start.
Number two, you have to figure that Clintons have no dirt on McCain, FBI files, otherwise, so he's not afraid to go out and criticize.
Number three, you would have to conclude that he's maybe making a move on the Republican base during an election season when they're paying attention.
You got to look at his future on this.
During the course of the year, he can cozy up to the drive-by media all he wants and get their approval because he knows that the vast majority of people are really not paying that close attention.
But when you're getting into an election season, they are.
The Clintons gave him a wide open here when Mrs. Clinton was stupid for her to even come out and comment on this.
But she did, and she made herself a huge target, and he took a shot.
And what he said is true.
So the only thing that's fascinating to people is motivation.
But there was fallout, ladies and gentlemen, in none other than the drive-by media.
Yesterday on the CBS early show, the anchorette, Hannah Storm, was interviewing McCain.
They had this exchange.
Why blame the Clinton administration at this point?
Well, I was responding to attacks made on President Bush by Mrs. Clinton, Senator Kerry, Senator Reid, and other Democrats, which I thought was really the wrong time to do this entitle to their views.
But we're trying to get the support of the American people and the world to impose sanctions on North Korea so that we can bring this very grave threat to world peace to a halt.
And I thought it was not appropriate at this moment to be critical of President Bush.
Meaning that there are plenty of other moments it's okay to be critical of President Bush, but not this one.
We're trying to unify around sanctions and something.
And the point fingers of blame, why, this is just ill-timed.
And I was merely defending President Bush against attacks by these Democrats.
But the question is very interesting.
Why blame the Clinton administration at this point?
Why are you doing this?
She was stunned, no question about it.
Most of the drive-by media was.
Wow.
Why are you blaming the Clintons on this?
We set you up to blame Bush again.
So the next question, Senator Kerry said that you must be trying to burnish your credentials for the nomination process.
He's referring, of course, to your presidential aspirations.
What do you say to those who say that you're politicizing the issue?
I say that the attacks were made on President Bush.
I responded to those attacks and this administration.
And I don't think I need any lessons from my friend John Kerry on politicizing an issue.
He's laughing there when he's, and so am I.
I love it when anybody puts down the lurch.
It's so easy.
And not enough people do it.
I mean, it's just a walking joke.
And he gets away with all this supposed stature and erudition and all that.
So there you have it.
That's McCain defending the president on North Korea attacking the Clintons and John Kerry.
Back after this, stay with us.
All right, the earliest anniversary, or the anniversary of the earliest snowfall in Chicago is September 25th.
And this is October the 12th, September 25th, 1928, and also 1942, the earliest fall snow, even though it just flurries this little trace in Chicago.
None of them resulted in any accumulation.
But they, according to Tom Skilling, WGN TV chief meteorologist, they created quite a public stir at the time.
September 25th and 28 was a raw day.
The high, low temperatures were 50 and 39.
It was even worse in 1942.
It was 46 and 30 degrees, high and low.
Caused a big public stir.
A public stir, earliest.
And it's causing a big public stir today, too.
And, of course, climate change, massive climate change.
Speaking of massive climate change, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how many of you people saw this, but I know that I am probably going to be target number, well, I'm going to be in the top 10.
Nuremberg-style trials proposed for global warming skeptics.
A U.S.-based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore and PBS newsman Bill Moyers have deemed respectable enough to grant one-on-one interviews to is now advocating Nuremberg-style war crimes trials for skeptics of human-caused catastrophic global warming.
Name of the magazine is Grist.
Grist magazine.
The staff writer David Roberts called for the Nuremberg-style trials for the quote-unquote bastards who were members of what he termed the global warming denial industry.
Roberts wrote in the online publication September 19th this year, when we've finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards.
Some sort of crime Nuremberg.
I wonder if anybody's going to ask Gore and Moyers about this.
Now, the global warming denial industry has got some people upset because that's Holocaust terminology.
And Roger Pelkey, Jr., the University of Colorado's Center for Science and Technology Policy Research said the phrase climate change denier is meant to be evocative of the phrase Holocaust denier.
Pelkey wrote in October 9th, a couple days ago, actually three days ago, this year.
Let's be blunt.
The illusion, this illusion is an affront to those who suffered and died in the Holocaust.
This illusion has no place in the discourse on climate change.
I say this as someone fully convinced of a significant human role in the behavior of the climate system.
The article Global Warming, the Chilling Effect on Free Speech, last week in Spiked Online addresses this newfound penchant by environmentalists, wackos, and some media members to charge skeptics of human-caused catastrophic global warming with crimes against humanity and urge Nuremberg-style prosecution of them.
Now, before you just react and say, oh, man, are these people funny or what?
These are liberals.
I have often on this program in the past referred to liberals as Stalinists.
Just yesterday, I had some guy call me and argue with me when I said that liberals are opposed to liberty.
No, they're not.
You explain that.
And I cited countless examples.
