Friend of Western Civ: The New York Sun

Considering the previous post, I had to put something on the blog that would cleanse the pallet, and help us to bring things back into perspective. I was able to find something to accomplish this through that blessed publication The New York Sun: Global Warming Turns Ugly

Excerpt:

"When the left is out to smear an opponent, any brand of tar will do. Consider Vice President Gore's mantra, which has been picked up by much of the press, that global warming skeptics are 'deniers' — as in Holocaust deniers. You might expect that liberals would be leery of attempts to liken an opponent to the nuts who deny that Hitler murdered 6 million Jews. 'Are you now or have you ever been a denier?' But no, the moral paragons of Beverly Hills appear set to deliver an Oscar to Mr. Gore for his bravery in telling supposedly inconvenient truths.

Mr. Gore has been caught at this sort of thing before. In 1994, Ted Koppel disclosed on 'Nightline' that Mr. Gore had called to suggest he investigate various global warming skeptics for their ties to the coal industry and other interests. Mr. Koppel said he had refused. He went on to chastise Mr. Gore publicly for 'resorting to political means to achieve what should ultimately be resolved on a purely scientific basis.'

Just so. But Mr. Gore and others still seem unable to restrain their bile. The Washington Post recently quoted Mr. Gore as referring to a prominent Republican senator as a 'denier.' All of which makes one wonder: Do these people have as much confidence as they pretend to have in their theories about why the globe may be heating up?"
