I don't read the Huff Post comments....but it is a comments section. Saying that a paper or blog is anti-semite because they don't patrol their comments section to your liking is par for the course for FPM.

Maybe FPM should focus on things that aren't as nebulous and difficult to predict as Global Climate when deciding whether or not pollution from energy producers has no effect on the environment. Maybe they could do an article on the huge island of garbage floating around in the ocean....or on the amount of melting in the Arctic over the last couple of decades...or any number of observable changes in climate, warnings by scientists in the field, etc.

Instead, there is article after article about how if there is ANY doubt in the theoretical projections of some scientists then there is absolutely no problem at all or worse that the pollution is good for us.

What FPM considers anti-semitic is anything that doesn't 100% agree with it's view of Israel and the jews. As usuall, no examples are given of this "anti-Israeli" bias and a majority of the article focuses on what users have posted in a comments section.

Have you seen what people post on your own website? The Huffington Post, if they even notice FPM, could run an article about how FPM is blatantly Pro-Israel and is run by rabid zionist who think we should nuke Mulsim cities....all this evident by people that post here.

"They have denied this repeatedly, but THEY WON'T RELEASE THE RAW DATA. McIntyre and McKitrick have been after them for at least 5 years."

Yep, and they got everything they wanted in 2005 when Congress ordered Mann to provide his data, including his source code, archives of all data for all of Mann's scientific publications, identities of his present and past scientific collaborators, and details of all funding for any of Mann's ongoing or prior research, including all of the supporting forms and agreements. Wow. I guess Mann is lucky they weren't allowed to look around in his asshole while they were at it.

"You miss the most important point, because you are an indoctrinated clown who is not serious: REAL scientists subject their work to replication and peer review. And it isn't peer review if you are asking fellow cultists to do the work."

What isn't peer reviewed? The models have been done and redone by scientists all over the world...the most peer reviewed research to date still shows a warming trend this century. They are just models...projections. And that is just the theoretical side of things. What about the thousands of scientists around the world that are throwing up red flags because of what they are observing real-time on the earth? Are they part of the conspiracy to dupe us all?

"In another set of emails, Michael Mann discussed how they can SUPPRESS alternative viewpoints."

What other set of e-mails? A different, mystery set aside from the all the hacked ones? Because you can do word searches through all of those online.

"This is not science. This is advocacy. How can I make the words smaller and the concepts simpler so you are capable of grasping this?"

It's not the size of the words but the condescension that counts.

"As far as the Developing World, my point stands. You punted. Complete failure. Coal is available today, and there are NO credible alternatives NOW, or for the foreseeable future."

LOL...you're so dramatic. Sorry I can't whip up cold fusion or a harness anti-matter or something for you. No one is saying we have to shut off the lights and live in darkness until a new discover is made. But, for it to EVER HAPPEN...it's going to take a serious effort by our society...not just the coal companies making commercials with dancing CG animals. You just seem pissed that anyone would dare want for an alternative.

"What YOU want to do is make decisions for other people that they would not make if given a choice. That makes you are first rate moral cretin."

LOL...like what?

Right...yeah the "elites" and their arugula. You have this fantasy in your mind that at some point the elites screamed stop and DDT was no longer available to anyone on earth for any reason. A tiny amount of research on your part (outside of the bizarro world) would show you that DDT has been used and is used today. They don't use it on crops and everywhere because that makes the bugs resistant.

Saying that a ban on DDT killed people in Africa is a false argument that FPM has been instrumental in pushing. By your logic the Christian Missionaries in Africa have killed tens of thousands of Africans by giving them AIDS....or by not giving them condoms...same thing.

I know it's a tasty little piece on the overall construction of "lefty" as a do-gooder who kills innovation (and Africans) as they sip lattes and think of new ways to surpress your freedoms...but all that is a lot of hooey.

"Obama is very much like a Manchurian candidate....I think they are just sitting around deciding what he should say, and then it usually comes out as political doublespeak which says and means nothing."

While you are free to your opinions and conclusions, that's just looney. You believe it already, so now you're interpreting simple events to fit. And, if you are going to have someone controlling Obama, just go for broke and make it the Masons or aliens or something.

"You seem to think that the debate is really about whether or not individual Muslims are terrorists or not."

And you go on to compare Muslims to Nazis because they "submit" to their religion. Germany was a country. It made a huge army and tried to take over the world by force. We knew where to bomb. Did I mention it was a country...
"Islam" means "submission to God's will" which is a theme shared by most monotheistic religions...like Christianity and the other Abrahamic religions.

"While people like you are dinkering around with reality and tweeking it to fit your world view the jihadists are not slowed down by such stuff."

I'm "dinkering" with reality? LOL.

"They studied our fiasco in Viet Nam and know that it was the left who helped us become losers and they are depending on the same types of people to help them win this war against us."

of course "the left"...that dependable old punching bag. We dropped almost a ton of ordinance PER PERSON onto Vietnam and killed millions of Vietnamese all to "contain" Communism. After 15 years and almost 60,000 American soldiers dead, you honestly think that anti-war protesters prevented us from "winning"? You've been reading too much FPM.

"I consider people like you to be traitors. You can argue all you want about Islam, the koran, the rightness or wrongness of any action..."

Why, because I made fun of you? Grow up. Oh no a new name "anti-bubba". Are you a preteen? Just post under the name you usually use to troll around posting your links. No one cares.

"The big picture is that they started this 1700 years ago....."

Riiiiight.

"Really, I would love to hear you finally say something intelligent instead of just spouting off the "party line.""

Yeah...everyone but you is a mindless zombie under the control of one power or another. Sure, you're head is full of wild conspiracy theories...and yeah, maybe your facts are a little shaky but you clearly think for yourself. Here I am getting my daily e-mail instructions from Pelosi's office and hoping I won't run up against a real patriot who can see into the heart of things...and alas you had the courage to call me out. Pelosi has had me watching you and keeping tabs on FPM because your ideas so threaten the Global Conspiracy of Your Worst Fears...that Pelosi, Obama and Lord Xenu are deciding whether or not you are too dangerous to be left alive.

Pelosi HAS to conduct the health care debate in secret. Sure the whole country has been discussing and debating it for six months, but that is all a ruse. They fought against accusations of "Death Panels"...not because it was a ridiculous smear designed to scare old people, but because the Death Panels are just the tip of the iceberg. Obama is preparing a "Logan's Run" type Utopia where those over 50 are ritually zonked into their component molecules using special reactors they are already working on (to take care of the resistance first).

"They call limiting conservative radio "The Fairness Doctrine." What is fair about forcing people to listen to something they don't want to hear?"

There has been no legislative call to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine or any other like rule since 2005. When it was originally abolished under Reagan, talk radio and television weren't 24/7 opinion/editorial talking heads. The rule only applied to those with licenses for public airwaves and just required :

"The Fairness Doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented"

And it also said that if someone attacked you personally, then the station or channel that broadcast the attack (even just opinion) was obliged to notify you with a transcript and give you an opportunity to respond.

So even if something like this comes back into play, Rush Limbaugh doesn't have to change a thing. However, he has gotten use to attacking people so often and so wildly, he's probably just afraid of the paperwork. Same with the likes of Hannity and Beck. The other, more destructive action of the Reagan Administration was the repeal of laws regarding media ownership. It used to beillegal for a single entity to own all the media outlets (television, newspaper, radio) in a given market or own the same media over too large an area. These laws were designed to prevent corporate or otherwise narrow interests from controlling the public debate.

"Is this how you really want to live? I'm already starting to think abut what you'll say to that. Never mind. You won't listen anyway. You are such a jerk."

You seem really frustrated and a little paranoid and you'll always be this way if you listen to what Rush and these other guys say like it's gospel. You even talk the way they argue...like a child. Those assholes are robbing you simpletons of your peace of mind.

Ok, how bout we wait till they nuke one of our cities first?

Who's "they"? The terrorists or Muslims in general? Obviously, a terrorist without direct state connections or known origin detonating an atomic weapon (dirty bomb or otherwise) is the worst possible thing that could happen. We would not know who to retaliate against or even what really happened. If we have to declare war on Iran because of their nuclear programs and bomb (conventionally) that country...that's one thing, but just attacking a "Muslim" city because we fear that some Muslim will attack us with an atomic weapon, I don't see how that is justified. It's unfortunate, but after Bush and the WMD, we look like morons who haven't the first clue who has what...or worse, we look like a people willing to say/do anything to wage war. We start looking like the caricatures the radical Muslims say we are.

BTW...if you fear Muslims getting a bomb, aren't you losing sleep over North Korea? Shouldn't we be nuking North Korea right about now?

"I see your point Bubba, but I am not so sure the majority of muslims are not in support of what the terrorists are doing."

That's fair enough. I didn't say all the Muslims were peace-loving, reasonable people and there isn't an element of cancerous, cultic nuttiness in the Middle East. I don't know if a majority supports terrorism though (maybe in some select countries)...but I am certainly not saying that it isn't supported at all....it is.

A large chunk of the Muslim world is ignorant and uneducated. They live in the desert and they aren't allowed to masterbate...that would piss anyone off. They are taught from birth that America is the great satan. When they actually encounter America (in whatever form) let's try not to be completely amoral and evil, watching reality television while our government nukes innocent people to "protect" us from our fears.

Well...in the post you're replying to I wrote:

"Look man, I have never been to Israel and don't intend to go. I have zero insight into whether or not the non-Jews in Gaza are welfare whores or "garbage". "

So I don't know what statements you are talking about.

If newspapers are all toilet paper and wikipedia is run by anti-semites and the MSM is all "lefty" and want to secretly destroy Israel, where should I go for information?

Maybe if you supplied me with a list of good, trustable sources then I could go educate myself...

Even after Bush you guys still long for a world where a President is one war declaration away from being a dictator who can lock up the opposition for treason.

"Yes, they're traitors in spirit if not action"

Yeah, well let's be glad that you have zero power and you aren't out there with a lynch mob, killing people for what you perceive as their "spirit" or REAL thoughts and feelings. FPM is a marginal rag on the edge of "conservative" thought designed to help push stories into the mainstream. Many of the "arguments" FPM produces are steeped in misinformation and cultic nonsense about how "lefty" is destroying the world. Thanks to it and other crazy websites and Fox News, more people are less informed about critical issues and direct their hate onto "lefty". For some of you, it isn't enough to disagree with someone...oh no...they have to be pure evil, out to destroy puppies and apple pie and all you hold dear.

Everyday on every article you post links to this stupid blog.

You think Obama is a manchurian candidate and you like to make fun of his ears.
This site is already full up on crazy and doesn't need more morons trying to improve traffic to their own bizarro world websites.

The video of Obama misspeaking during an interview (when he is trying to say McCain has not called him a Muslim) will not be taken down because it isn't some incredible secret revelation. Good luck wasting your time with hate and fear and conspiracy theories. If you want I can put a link to your site on bat-shit-crazy.org.

"Where is the outcry of outrage from the majority of "peaceful" muslims? The "peaceful" muslims need to step up and help us defeat the "radical" muslims or its all going to get mixed up."

I doubt you travel (digitally or otherwise) in circles where you would hear "peaceful muslims" or muslim organizations decrying terrorism or registering their "outrage". Why don't you do a Google search for yourself instead of asking me like it never happens.

"We already nuked a city, and it was the only alternative to continued loss of life, which by the way scared the shit out of them and made them surrender."

Yes, during WWII. We were at war with Japan...a country and after the horrific battles trying to take small islands, it was becoming obvious that an invasion of the Japanese mainland would cost us an unacceptable amount of America life. The Japanese were wrapped up in Emperor worship and even after the bombings of two cities, some of the generals wanted to keep fighting anyway.

"Today they are our allies, because they realized their leader was not God and they were being sacrificed for someone else's agenda. Errily similar to todays situation."

I don't see the parallels you do. Japan still had leadership that could surrender....and they had an army, navy and airforce that was fighting us. We were at war with them. The terrorists aren't that numerous. If you want to increase their ranks by 1000 fold then nuke a "Muslim" city because a terrorist there killed an American hostage. The terrorists are trying to get the whole of the Muslim world to go to war with the West (and the US imparticular) and your attitudes would only help them achieve their goals.

Which city would you have nuked if the Christmas underwear bomber had succeeded?

Because that's the way you do things in a civilized country.

Let's say you take a flight to another country. Due to mistaken identity and someone plantings something in your bag, you are arrested and charged with terrorism. Your wife wants to come see you and you want your accusers to come face you with evidence, but you have been wisked off to some military holding facility for debriefing and you will be facing a millitary tribunal and then probably firing squad. You don't get lawyers because you're a dirty terrorist.

You're wife points out to the country's leadership that they are breaking their own rules...but alas, the country is at war with "icky badness" and so they have suspended the normal rules.

bubba4 — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 05:39:54 -0000

That's a great idea...but we should have no government incentives, taxes, or even involvement. Let the free market create it. Because if there was one thing the oil companies, coal companies and other energy producers have taught us over the last decade, is that they are looking out for our best interest. Big companies can always be trusted to undermine their own markets and make themselves irrelevant if it's what humanity needs. I know that right now in the international corridors of power, the great CEOs and Kings of Industry are praying that a clean, renewable source of energy is discovered soon and in the meantime they want to spend whatever it takes to cut down on pollution.

USMCSniper, I can see why such a "strategy" would be appealing to you. I wonder though if you've really considered how it would play out. I know the current sentiment on FPM and this whole world is that Islam is evil, they all want to destroy us and apparently killing them all will end up being our only option.

So I guess if you can see all Muslims as really the same thing...then there are no innocent Muslims...but how would you feel if the United States nuked a city next week? Really think about that.

You're not suppose to have to disprove historical things. If you are asserting that something happened and the historical record doesn't support it, don't you have to "prove" it?

The jews weren't walking around in the desert with a partially completed Bible that they worked on as they went. It is an anthology that was assembled later..by whom and when are both not hard historical facts.

You must not have gotten the sarcasm from my last post. I suppose your "we expose anti-semites" website is the only place where I can find accurate information on what these people say and do.

Or...I guess Sands, as a jew-hating anti-semite and part of the global conspiracy to make jews look bad, won't ever actually say how he really feels....right?

Re: An Israeli Stalinist Professor’s War Against Israel – by Steven Plaut

bubba4 — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:56:03 -0000

So the only reliable source on whether or not Sand is a jew hating anti-semite who wants to destroy Israel, is a website that claims to expose anti-semites?

Can't we just throw them in a river and if they sink they are innocent and if they float we will know they are anti-semites?

"I am so relieved that you are not causing conflict here... And there I, and most of the others that commented about your venemous outburst were thinking you did."

Venomous outburst? What are you talking about? Do you even know? Like so many involved in the Middle East conflict, you have enough self-righteous entitlement to keep this cultic nuttiness going for decades more.

"You may consider learning a bit about almost 6000 years of recorded history and a couple of million of archeologically supported residence, before you open up with idiocies disconnected from real knowledge."

What exactly is the recorded history you are talking about? The Old Testament?

You also seem to have trouble distinguishing between your "enemies" and just people you are talking to on an internet forum. Not everyone that disagrees with you hates your goodness and wants to destroy you because you're a Jew. You have to have a holy rod shoved half way up your ass to jump so quickly to this self-serving and cultic conclusion.

"don't leave stuff lying around on ftp sites..."

Now you're reading these e-mails looking for something insidious. FTP sites are good for sharing files, but they are notoriously short on security. God forbid someone steal a year of e-mails from my company with the intent to make me or any of my guys look bad.

"Why? These are publicly funded researchers, who claim to be scientists. Since when do scientists feel the need to hide data?"

Even in a casual reading, it's clear that "model code" is at issue. These may be programs that these scientists wrote or developed over years. Like you, I really don't know what the hell they are talking about.

"To be clear, the claim being made is that computer algorithyms were used to data mine ONLY raw information that amplified warming effects, to create an artificial and false picture of warming from a background that was otherwise neutral. This clearly shows that is what has in fact been happening."

Um...actually the claim is that the e-mails revealed the Marxist Global Warming Hoax in vivid detail...leaving not a shred of doubt that Gloabl warming is a made up problem designed to rob the US of money. This is built on the assumption that the University of East Anglia is the epicenter of all climate research around the globe. This is what you were railing against earlier.

"With respect to Third World, what exactly do you propose as energy, Einstein? Coal is cheap and plentiful. Nuclear power is not, although there is no reason they should not both be pursued."

Right...um...I'm afraid I don't know what the alternatives are. If you want a video made about it, or you want a program developed to manage an energy system, then my skills might come into play. You need engineers and researchers who can explore new ideas about how to generate power. They will need money and big computers I guess and lots of room to tinker with their experiments. That's going to cost some money. Meanwhile, coal is "cheap" because we don't really factor in the pollution...maybe...hmmm...if we had a way to charge for the pollution and put the money toward alternative energy, we might be able to spur the innovation to get something new and interesting done. Somehow I don't see the big coal companies really putting their heart into it otherwise. Nah...it would probably be denounced as a Marxist conspiracy to rob the United States to give to Africa.

"Aside from the absurdity of using Wikipedia as a serious scholarly source"

Well, I'm not doing "serious" scholarly work am I? I was just jumping around looking for something he ACTUALLY said...and what the book ACTUALLY contained.
Wikipedia isn't a iron-clad information source, but then again, what can you expect from an internet controlled by legions of anti-semites. Good thing they already came into this page and took out the quote of Sands saying "death to Israel" and where he detailed his plan for destroying the jewish state slowly by writing books.

The link was there, because that was where that quote came from, not because I started and ended there. I wasn't praising the book. I haven't read the book. I don't care enough about the subject to give it the study it would deserve. What was on the page (and the reason I posted the link) was a video interview.

I guess what I was saying in my last post...is FPM isn't content most of the time with the positions and feelings people actually hold. They are prepared primarily to defend against irrational hatred aimed at them for no good reason so that is how they pretend everything is. They do it a lot...

Huh?

"Eretz Israel was not, is not and will not be islamic, ever."

Um...OK? Not sure if my satirical post about FPMs "reality" was trying to say anything remotely like that.

"And it will never be again be "dismantled" by foreign trash, be that Neanderthal, Romulus & Remo, Swanscombe drift wood or Moon god worshipers by any other monstrous name."

Ok...a little creepy. And just throwing cannibalism in there...what have you been reading?

"of course Israel does nothing wrong Bubbale."

Well...then you are in the right place.

"And to be honest with you I am and JEWISH israelis are sick and tired of seeing the "assafsuf", (rabble), in Gaza living from supplies and services we so far provide for that garbage."

I guess the important part is that you aren't dehumanizing them...lol Look man, I have never been to Israel and don't intend to go. I have zero insight into whether or not the non-Jews in Gaza are welfare whores or "garbage". Feel free to elaborate at length. I think your opinions will bring real insight into how intrackable the situation is over there.

"Trust me... hehehe As soon as we see a "peace now" movement in the islamic hovels we MAY, just may believe that you or yours mean peace and not of the many make believe Arabic trade marked fabrications."

You may be Jewish, but I am not an Arab or Muslim. I'm also not Christian who has read revelation too many times. I don't really have a horse in this race. I couldn't give a bloody dingos kidney about what you or the Muslims think you're owed by God...you're just the opposite sides of the same crazy coin to me. So mind the projection cupcake...I'm not the one causing conflict in your Holy Lands.

Wow...ok....that was some good Tooley.

"spurious “nuclear winter” theory"

I know...right? Can you imagine more bunk science about how a full nuclear stockpile commitment by the major powers would kill most of the earth? Where do the leftists get these crazy ideas?

"Arms control agreements with the Soviet Union were secured by following completely opposite advice: deploying additional U.S. missiles in Europe and refusing to abandon missile defense."

At the time there was no missile defense. It was however the time of Reagan's famous "Star Wars" project because that is what you would need to shoot down a Russian ICBM. We never actually launched anything because it makes about as much since now as it did then...which is none. Tooley writes FPM approved mythology in short hand, since you are already suppose to know that Reagan single handedly defeated Russia by projecting strength and calling them evil.

"Christian prelates more attuned to reality, and more prone to thanksgiving, might note that recent decades have in fact rescued hundreds of millions from millennia of poverty in China, India and elsewhere,"

This is another FPM favorite. Why is (insert enemy here) "remaining silent" or "ignoring" this other thing that is not the subject of the writings that FPM is criticizing.

"that average lifespans are increasing almost everywhere, and that world food production is at record highs."

It better be...so is population.

"Oil reserves have been perpetually and inaccurately forecast for depletion for the last century, until new discoveries always overthrow this expectation. And neither climate change, nor species extinction, are modern phenomenons."

Yeah but Tooley, we will run out of it at some point. It's a fossil fuel...remember...it wasn't carefully deposited around the earth like God's little Easter eggs. And I'm sure the last few years worth of barrels aren't going to go cheap. Species are going extinct every other day. Tooley is unconcerned because it's not a modern phenomenon? Yeah, you're a real child of God there Tooley. You aren't a dishonest cultic schmuck who's lost touch with his humanity...not at all....
