Will Grist leave this post up?: "Quit arguing with douchebags that everyone hates, part two"
Point number one:
Newt Gingrich is a douchebag and everyone hates him.
...
No. Everybody hates the guy. He’s a spokesdouche you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.
Point number two:
Congressional Republicans are douchebags and everyone hates them.
...
Point number three:
Marc Morano is a douchebag and most people don’t even give enough of a crap about him to hate him. Once James Inhofe’s Senate butt boy, which gave him a modicum of relevance and credibility, Morano is now the proprietor of an obscure Drudge-wannabe climate denial site. He is useful to the 30% and their Congressional representatives; he supplies their climate-related talking points. But those talking points are crazy, and everyone hates the people repeating them.
Morano scammed his way into an NYT profile, but only as a flat-earth clown. The only way he gets any ongoing press coverage outside the 30% is by baiting progressive bloggers and journalists, jumping into their comment sections and sending them email every time they so much as mention his name.
But the public at large, outside the ideological tribe? They don’t know. They don’t care. And if they knew, they’d hate him too, like other mouth-breathers preaching conspiracy theories.
The same can be said of the whole constellation of blogs and TV shows made by and for the 30%. There is simply no need to devote much attention to refuting the lies that pour forth from this revanchist remnant. Concern over climate change and support for action to address it is the mainstream position in America. Those writing and speaking in the mainstream ought to address themselves to the mainstream, helping to address its questions and concerns about the transition away from fossil fuels. (And there are plenty.)
...
... The Newts can’t stop anybody, they can only distract and sap energy from those doing the work.
They are not Boogie men. They are douchebags, and everyone hates them.

Rasmussen shows a 13.5% swing against belief in climate apocalypse in just one year. The mainstream no longer believes in it. Marc Morano has bravely made the truth known in the face of Lysenkoist propaganda worthier of Stalin or Goebbels than of civilized science.
Tom, it appears that you are just another lemming whack job kool aid drinker. Climate change has been debunked time and time again. It is just another way for the gov't. to tax us into bankruptcy. The icecaps are growing again. The earth temperature has cooled moderately over that few years.
These hypocrites like Gore and others flying around in their Gulfstreams and telling me to change my light bulbs and ride my bike for global warming? They are a joke and so are you!
I will debate you anytime, big boy! Bring it on!
