[...] overwhelmingly borne by the developing world and vulnerable species. I won’t call them Nazis, as is the youth climate over at Fox and friends, but I refuse to avoid calling them out, to avoid taking a strong position [...]

I watched Glenn Beck’s new Fox News show for the first time. I knew who he is but had never seen him. I started watching because it seemed silly and I thought at any moment someone was going to say “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”. Then when I figured out that it really was Glenn Beck, I was too intrigued to turn it off. I try to listen to both sides of an arguement before deciding. I would laugh if I weren’t so scared. I mean, is this an Andy Kaufman thing? If so, hats off to Glenn Beck because that’s hilarious. Otherwise, he is right. I really do lump him in with the Holocaust deniers, he truely does sound just as ridiculous.
The whole segment on Al Gore was just stupid. Beck took everything he said and twisted it to somehow, for the millionith time, find a way to liken Al Gore to Hitler. People equate Hitler with pure evil and linking the two is yet one more way Beck is tricking stupid people into agreeing with him. No wonder Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting is not a big Glenn Beck fan. I am now officially dumber for having seen that.

The only fear mongers are those of you promoting your voodoo science. Very few of you have any scientific background or the education required to properly interpret any climate data. Instead, you take what others tell you repeatedly, and believe that they are your own thoughts.

Historically, politicians (or dare I say criminal organizations) have abused the blind support of youth to promote their own agendas. This is a historical occurrence that seems to endlessly repeat itself, regardless of which time period we are in.

The exceptional thing is that historically, those movements have died out. The hippie movement became the yuppi movement, which during the 1970s were worried about global cooling, and busy enjoying the excesses of a life with no direction.

Your movement is a blip on the radar, and self-delusion will not increase your actual influence or power. The environmental movement reached it’s zenith a year or two ago. Americans, and the world, have much greater issues to deal with – issues that are legitimate, proven, and not promototed by pseudo-scientists like Al Gore.

i agree w/ sparki, boycott his sponsors. that would be energy well spent.

“why not call for a boycott of his sponsors? here’s a list someone compiled when he smeared Ron Paul- http://www.redpills.org/?p=521. BTW one of his sponsors is America’s Power. shocking.”

I know who Xxxxx Xxxx is. He’s a guy desperate for ratings. Ratings are these contrived numbers that used to sort of reflect how many people might have been watching things on television at night at home. Ratings used to be important when companies advertised products in hopes of getting people who used to sit at home at night watching television to buy their stuff. That doesn’t happen anymore, but nobody told Xxxxx Xxxx so he and the people he works for are still gaga over ratings and they don’t have any. So he says things pretending he’s a thoughtful experty guy with important things to say. But he only says what he says to get ratings. Sometimes he says things that he knows the five or six people watching his program might want to hear so they will come back and hear pleasing things and he will get some ratings. And other times, when he is really desperate, like ever since he lost his job at another network that’s also going out of business soon, he says things that he hopes will stir things up in newspapers and on blogs so that his name will show up on Google searches and maybe that way he can get some ratings. But it doesn’t work like that anymore either. The most important thing to remember about people who are on television and need ratings to keep their jobs is that they will say anything to get ratings. When dealing with people whose main priority in life are ratings as opposed to, say, really CARING ABOUT PEOPLE or THE FUTURE OF ONE’s COUNTRY, it’s best not to talk about them or encourage them in any way, because inadvertently, just by acknowledging their very existence, one might, at a quantum level, unleash causalities that give people like Xxxxx Xxxx just what they want. Which are ratings.

I side with you, Nick – I’m flattered. Such desperate fearmongering only marginalizes himself all the more. If our “opposition” has to resort to desperation farse, I say we’ve won that evening’s newscast. Cheers!
