"Speakers were careful to point out that many findings still amounted only to hypotheses"

Despite Limbaughs claiming otherwise for the sake of questions he ludicrously calls "legitimate". The EESC President merely called for global solidarity, and noted in passing that climate change is another case where this is advisable, since the tsunamis impact on some islands has been exacerbated (but not CAUSED) by global warming. While American conservatism and internationalism have never gotten on well, the formers case against the latter should be made without raising questions illegitimately based on invented facts. Speaking of invented facts, I was rather disappointed to see Huckabee quoted in the marquee at the link saying, in regard to the President, that most of us grew up going to boy scout meetings rather than madrasas. I'd have thought that beneath him (Huckabee, I mean) and regret that it seemingly isn't.
See below.
So my statement stands: No one is blaming the tsunami on global warming, certainly not scientists at a meeting six months before it happened. Let's not make the tragedies in Japan an excuse for political attacks against people for things they haven't said.

Republican spin doctor Frank Luntz popularized "climate change" to make global warming appealing.

You need to reread what I said

No, I think you're still missing my point

No. You don't get to say, "what he said doesn't matter because of how we learned of it".

I think Republicans should stop using "legitimate". I do not think it means what they think it means

there are enough carzies on the left to make things like this easy for Rush

So it doesn't matter that no one said it as long as he can plausibly claim they did.

well since it is taken out of context it is hard to say where Rush was going with it
16/03/2011 07:19:46 PM

Um... he stated where he was going with it.

At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard

It's the same standard, whatever you choose to believe.

It is not just "possible" he's talking about islands affected by global warming; he says it outright
16/03/2011 10:09:16 PM

Sorry but I still fail to see how the islands he mention are a sign of what needs to be done

Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless.

lets throw a little context at asnd see if it matters

Yes: It makes it worse.

no it shows that the one statements was not meant to be taken literally

At best, it shows he was joking about something he believes to be fact despite lacking evidence.
18/03/2011 02:24:45 PM

so you finally agre that the context changes the meaning, took you long enough
