Incredibly ignorant LTTE in the Columbus Dispatch today!
http://dispatch.com/live/content/editorials/stories/2007/11/01/Moorman_ART_11-01-07_A10_158B0U5.html?sid=101

It seems that Don Wexler has fallen victim to the liberal media and the Democrat party, as evidenced by his Oct. 19 letter "Gore, Bush showed their true colors."

To explain his points:

• Al Gore was not elected president by the people; George W. Bush was elected president by the Electoral College. Gore and his minions tried everything they could to turn nonvotes into votes, and they continue to cry that he was the rightful winner in 2000. Maybe if the residents of Florida knew how to work a punch card, he would be. But they didn't, and he's not.

• Gore was awarded the Noble Peace Prize for convincing people that global warming exists. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by five Norwegians who are as liberal as he is. Thirty years ago, the cry was that a great Ice Age was imminent if people did not change their polluting ways. When that was shown to be a bunch of hooey, scientists came up with global warming. Anything to keep the masses in a state of hysteria. Much of what Gore claims to be true has been disproven, but do you hear that in the news?

• Bush started a war. How many people have forgotten 9/11? I believe the United States was attacked, and we responded.

Had Bush's predecessor had some guts and dealt with the terror threat when first confronted by it, maybe we wouldn't be in the situation we're in. Instead, President Clinton was busy with an intern.

Piketon

Let's see, did wacko Bushbot Moorman miss any current Fox Noise/Limbaugh dittohead talking points?

- liberal media
- "Democrat" party
- Gore didn't win in 2000
- the Nobel Peace Prize is meaningless
- Global warming is a liberal lie
- Scientists are fools
- Gore's climate information is false
- Iraq is revenge for 9/11
- and of course, an oldie but goodie, (ta da) Bill Clinton and Monica!

Looks like little Mikey hit them all. Way to go! (BTW, he is responding to an earlier LTTE pointing out that Gore won the Peace Prize, whereas bush started a foolish, expensive, unnecessary, illegal war.)

FYI, Piketon is a tiny town way down in SW Ohio's "wacko belt" (in Rep. Jean Schmidthead's district, in fact). I'll post any rebuttals his improbably silly letter draws.

1. Did the "ice age" scientist ever publish anything credible at all?
I mean, was he some sort of psuedo-scientist who later got hired by the oil companies or tobacco industry?

2. I read almost the exact letter..
in our local rag. Same points, same ice age argument, same 9/11 referance. I'm two states away, but they gotta be getting their intelligence from the same source.

3. Not to nitpick, but.....
It's not "intelligence" they are getting. 'Hallucination' or 'propaganda' would be a more appropriate word.

I would like to see these people have to defend their beliefs, say at the local gas station. Post signs on the gas pump that say "The Theory of Evolution was used to locate this fuel". How many of these assholes would refuse to fill up their tank? :silly:

4. If you would only.................
If you would only listen to Rush Limbaugh you could be convinced. Just think how easy your life could be in a world where all problems stem from Liberalism. Life is so simple. : )
