Bernie Sanders compares GW skeptics to Nazi

[Pseudo Intellectual]

Politico

“It reminds me in some ways of the debate taking place in this country and around the world in the late 1930s,” said Sanders, perhaps the most liberal member of the Senate, during a Senate hearing Tuesday. “During that period of Nazism and fascism’s growth-a real danger to the United States and democratic countries around the world- there were people in this country and in the British parliament who said ‘don’t worry! Hitler’s not real! It’ll disappear!”

Sanders’ reference to the Nazi threat is sure to enrage Republicans who are already skeptical of the science behind climate change. But Sanders wasn’t the only one throwing bombs at a hearing that was ostensibly about the EPA’s fiscal 2011 budget. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), who has called global warming a “hoax,” is asking for an investigation into the science used in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the governing body on climate science.

Earlier in the hearing, Inhofe had chided Sanders: “I know the senator from Vermont wants so badly to believe that the science on climate change is settled but it’s not.”

There's a little secret piece of irony in there, but I'm guessing only conservatives will get it.

For ****sake! :angry2: Will people stop ****ing comparing people they disagree

with to freaking Nazis already? Jesus Christ! Nothing deserves to be compared to

the Nazis. Nazi has been tossed around some much it has even less impact than Terrorist or

Communist... /rant

LOL. In this particular case the deniers were being compared to the people who appeased the Nazis, not the Nazis themselves. It's a very fine line they didn't cross. . .

I'm still on the fence about the whole issue, and no, the science /isn't/ settled.

So, is this directed at all GW skeptics or just Republicans?

It's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black isn't it?

Considering over half of the population has never believed in AGW in the first place, he has just alienated a lot of people. I believe another article on this site said only 49% of people believed in AGW /before/ Climategate. Now it's dropped to around 26%.

/Giggles at the idea of someone named Conspiracy Believer not thinking that AGW is a trumped up, false thing created to support an NWO conspiracy. . ./ Not that I think it is, just laughing at the way the name and the opinion don't match. . .

I was joking. I'm not saying anything on this subject. I work for an environmental company. The EPA is one of our biggest customers.

Call them what they really are Caesar, COMMUNISTS plain and simple. How did we get to where we are? Sixty odd years of liberal legislation, bit by bit. Flush this $1,000,000 here flush that $1,000,000 there, OH we need more now and more and more. Lord Monckton said green peace whom was started by friends of his was completely taken over by COMMUNISTS! Practically ALL of Obama's cabinet and appointees are from this group Here.

What does your co. do clean up broken CFL lights @ $4,000 a pop?

Being sarcastic a little bit there I know there are other types of clean up. I myself have spread out contaminated dirt with a bulldozer, from an old under ground diesel tank. Once it was spread out the EPA approved it. This was at a ski area!

Now your telling lies, you was not joking, you voted for Bernie Sanders who claims to be a socialists, you hail from the same state thats been discussing about how to succeed from the Union.

I watching and reading every post and topic you start, and I'll write them all down on paper, with my comments next to them

Yes its all true, but many would claim that there is no hammer and sickle, but we all know its been replaced under another mask called progressives and progressivism.

Yes because we all know the damage that progressivism has had on the country. Perhaps progressivism has been

perverted (this is debateable) however one can't ignore the wonderous effects it has had on the country in the past.

Ok I was "kind" of joking. I do agree with Bernie more than I agree with any other politician most of the time. I'm just not sure about the global warming thing. I have my doubts but I think it's creating jobs so....
