Denier Claims GW Research is Discredited by Penn State Sex Scandal
NTOJBSC (Not the Onion Just Bat Shit Crazy)

"In the case of Climategate, President Spanier apparently saw nothing wrong with reasoning that equated revenue generation with virtue and accepted the report.

In such a febrile environment, the likelihood of wilful blindness in respect to the far more profitable football program was that much greater and that appears to have been what happened. Even though a Penn State staff member witnessed a rape of a 10-year old by a more senior Penn State official, the junior Penn State staff member did not intervene at the time and investigation by more senior Penn State officials appears to have been cursory until a recent grand jury. (For example, they don’t appear to have bothered even identifying or interviewing the victims.)

It’s hard not to transpose the conclusions of the Penn State Climategate “investigation” into Penn State’s attitude towards misconduct charges in their profitable football program..."

:crazy:

So the "hockey stick" was really a "goal post" all along. Starting to make sense now...

1. Also, the banks did not gamble with our money. This
scandal caused the global financial collapse. So, therefore, regulating banks would be wrong.

2. Deniers seek any port in a storm
seeing that so many of their ports are going to be below sea level soon enough. This is perhaps the most stoopid use of the Penn State scandal to date.

6. They've been driven mad by the collapse of their self-contained reality

7. Beyond logic, beyond reason, beyond language, beyond the edge of the world. . .
It's hard to say which is more disturbing, their utter ideological blindness, or their willingness to grub in any gutter for shit to throw at the Reality Bus.

:silly:
