Death to global-warming skeptics?

[The Big Dog]

The patently offensive blog article that spawned this has since been retracted, but it's impossible to go back and unring a bell, isn't it? The author wouldn't have written it and put it on the Internet if it was not what he truly believed... there is no funny, there is no satire in the original piece.

Where will be the outcry from the left and their friends the militant environmentalists?

Death to global-warming skeptics?

Editor's Note: The author of the subject article on TalkingPointsMemo.com has formally retracted the article and apologizes for what he describes as his "extremist global warming" blog post. "The whole post was ill-conceived, poorly written -- and not representative of who I am," the author says. "But I did write it, and I take full responsibility for it. My intention was not to wish imprisonment or execution of global warming skeptics." (Full retraction is available at TalkingPointsMemo.com)

Original story:

A popular left-leaning website recently published some harsh rhetoric concerning deniers of alleged global warming.

According to Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com, the left-leaning website TalkingPointsMemo.com recently published an article that issued this public appeal: "At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers?" The article accused "right-wingers" of blocking fixes to the problem of supposed "climate change" and stated that when "end of the world"-type events start to take place, "how will we punish those responsible?"

Morano admits he was disturbed by the post because many liberal talk radio hosts and political activists use Talking Points Memo as their go-to source.

"Talking Points Memo [is a] very influential site, and what they did -- now it's not isolated, it's not a joke -- what they did is they followed the advice of the environmental leaders who have been championing this kind of behavior for a long time now," he explains.

This story represents the worst that is the mindset of militant environmentalism, and also shows the true colors of socialist totalitarianism that are the foundation of the militant environmentalist movement.

That guy in the Prius next to you on the freeway.... he could be your executioner.

Big Dog, remember that the left can do anything it wants because its heart is pure. Lie, cheat, murder - doesnt matter so long as it feels right.

[capttankona]

Statist always ignore the human costs to their goals, always. There are no exceptions.

[The Big Dog]

Boy did it get quiet in this thread in a big, fat hurry. Guess the left is only comfortable when it can be sanctimonious and condescending.

[capttankona]

That is another trait of the statist. Those who claim to be against such things in words, fail in actions. They know that in order to get what they want that some ugly things may have to occur. So, in words they claim to be against it, but are silent when confronted with the facts. This has been repeated in every socialist tyranny that has ever existed.

[heckheckle]

Sorry BD. Your type of baiting doesn't work.

[The Big Dog]

Au contraire my friend.

I'm not baiting anyone. I am merely presenting a set of facts, both historical and contemporary, in context with each other, and reporting what should have been front page news about just how dangerous the thinking has become in some circles of the global warming movement crowd, followed by a bit of editiorializing on the meaning of it all.

In short, exactly the kind of reporting you see in newspapers and television in this country every day.... just not, conveniently, about this.

What is truly offensive is that this little tidbit, so very important in coming to an understanding of what this crowd really wants, was wholly ignored by pretty much every media outlet in this country. Reporting of news such as this is their job, not mine. Yet why is it that I have to do it? Without me would anyone that reads these forums have known that somewhere, in America, there are leftist thinkers who want to put people who disagree with them in extermination camps.

Are you so obtuse and hidebound that you can't see the danger of that line of thinking? Particularly when it is both tacitly and overtly abetted by the media which openly advocates for the global warming crowd and gleefuly relays their propaganda every day for us all.

You may go and stick your head back in the sand now. Hope you enjoy the view.

Big Dog, anyone who knows anything about the close to main stream leftist groups like PETA, Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, Earthfirst!, and all the rest of the the lefts terroists, knows that they continually call for violence and death. And many of the groups are known for planting bombs and booby traps.

Then there are the main stream leftists who throw riots, torch cars, smash window, burn churches, all in the name of peace and equality.

I guess this is like Bill O'Reilly stoking the flames of hatred that got Dr. Tiller killed. Difference is, some right-wing sheep actually acted on the lies that were spewed: www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/05/31/tiller/

Tiller's name first appeared on "The Factor" on Feb. 25, 2005. Since then, O'Reilly and his guest hosts have brought up the doctor on 28 more episodes, including as recently as April 27 of this year. Almost invariably, Tiller is described as "Tiller the Baby Killer."

Tiller, O'Reilly likes to say, "destroys fetuses for just about any reason right up until the birth date for $5,000." He's guilty of "Nazi stuff," said O'Reilly on June 8, 2005; a moral equivalent to NAMBLA and al-Qaida, he suggested on March 15, 2006. "This is the kind of stuff happened in Mao's China, Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union," said O'Reilly on Nov. 9, 2006.

O'Reilly has also frequently linked Tiller to his longtime obsession, child molestation and rape. Because a young teenager who received an abortion from Tiller could, by definition, have been a victim of statutory rape, O'Reilly frequently suggested that the clinic was covering up for child rapists (rather than teenage boyfriends) by refusing to release records on the abortions performed.

Wake me when an ecoterrorist actually shoots someone because of their beliefs! Until then, you are supporting the side that kills, not me.

[The Big Dog]

Nothing like completely hijacking the thread, eh Suanterelle? Can you not reply to the facts presented in the opening post before you go off on a tangent trying to deflect and play tit for tat games?

But since you distracted.... please show me the transcript where O'Reilly declared on the record that Tiller should have been murdered.

Take your time.

The record, aside from the propaganda you are picking up at Salon, is far from that. And as was pointed out to you in another thread on this board, which he have chosed to absent yourself from, Dr. Tiller was practicing a form of barbarity not often seen outside the death chambers of despotic regimes.

As to ecoterrorists not killing people.... does the Unabomber ring a bell?

[harpman1]

Ecoterrorists would kill more people, but guns are way too complex for them to operate properly.

And when they try bombs, they tend to blow themselves up.

Incompetence; thy name is liberal.
