Antics

Here’s an idea the right wing loves to talk about: ‘Liberals think breathing is bad for the planet.’ This theme is apparent in Carbon Belch Day, a day of action on June 12th for participants to create as much carbon as possible.

Yup, you heard me. They’re using carbon calculators to help people figure out how to create the biggest impact. Grassfire.org is a medium sized (couple hundred thousand) grassroots conservative community that uses 501c(4) money to represent its constituents values in the media and politics. And this tactic has been pitched as: “belch to stop Al Gore.”

I don’t have a lot of comments. Check it out for yourself. Mostly, its good to know what people like this are up to.
