Sen. Inhofe Compares People Who Believe In Global Warming To ‘The Third Reich’
Sen. Inhofe Compares People Who Believe In Global Warming To ‘The Third Reich’
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is the nation’s most prominent global warming denier. He famously declared that global warming is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” Now, he’s taken the argument a step further. In an interview with Tulsa World, Inhofe compared people who believed global warming was a problem to Nazis:
In an interview, he heaped criticism on what he saw as the strategy used by those on the other side of the debate and offered a historical comparison.
“It kind of reminds . . . I could use the Third Reich, the big lie,” Inhofe said.
“The big lie,” is a propaganda technique Adolf Hitler attributed to Jews in his book Mein Kampf. It involves telling lies “so colossal” that no one would believe “others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.”
Inhofe added that every claim in An Inconvenient Truth “has been refuted scientifically.” He also admitted he’d never seen the movie.
UPDATE: Inhofe also compared An Inconvenient Truth to Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf.

Senator, you are a dolt and an idiot.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:21 pmAs Earth becomes Hell, watch & learn.
You may have the perfect family, but all is naught
when you decide most of the people I created are
beneath you. I don’t recall appointing you anyone’s
personal Ayatollah of Ethics, including he with the
name of vegetation.
Beware! I am an angry God, & right now I’m really
pissed at you.
See you Sunday,
I thought the righties hated that Nazi analogy thingie.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:23 pmGuess not.
Fuhrer Bush must have invested in some new ovens.
The War on Science continues.
I’ve never seen the movie, therefore I can claim an unbiased opinion when I say everything in it is wrong….
Inhofe = Bought and Paid for by Big Oil
July 24th, 2006 at 3:23 pmHe demonstrates a common trait of the Rethugs. The proclivity to operate the mouth before engaging the brain. However, when one is suffering from a rectal-cranial insertion the only way to keep from getting crap all over one’s face is to open one’s mouth.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:25 pmWhen did our countrymen become blithering idiots?
July 24th, 2006 at 3:28 pmC’mon Inhofe, toss out Final Solution and sucking the blood from Christian babies and you will have completed your journey to Crazy Land.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:30 pmLFMAO at Inhofe!
July 24th, 2006 at 3:31 pmHmmm and he is an elected government official
I dont remeber the oil companies electing him..
and where are your 928 scientist to back up your claim Senator…..hmmmmm.just asking
July 24th, 2006 at 3:31 pmHe can’t tell a lie, he can only regurgitate what he is told to say. He is intentionally ignorant of any and all knowledge, that way he can say what the following tell him to say without the least bit of detectable stress from lying.
The top industries supporting James M. Inhofe are:
July 24th, 2006 at 3:34 pm1 Oil & Gas $311,208
2 Electric Utilities $180,907
3 Retired $145,771
4 General Contractors $116,611
5 Leadership PACs $100,347
6 Lobbyists $99,741
7 Lawyers/Law Firms $95,372
8 Commercial Banks $79,925
9 Health Professionals $77,550
10 Building Materials & Equipment $75,267
11 Air Transport $75,069
12 Insurance $72,171
13 Automotive $63,250
14 Misc Finance $61,500
15 Defense Aerospace $60,500
16 Real Estate $58,555
17 Business Services $53,766
18 Mining $52,600
19 Pro-Israel $49,300
20 Chemical & Related Manufacturing $47,010
I know this is a big shock, but Inhofe is also a major evolution denier.
That’s quite a pair they’ve got in Oklahoma between this guy and Coburn.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:36 pmi think he is referring to the holocaust and how he believes it didn’t happen, the “big lie”
this is a strange tyranical type that might be coming apart at the seams.
who would shout like this unless they are;
July 24th, 2006 at 3:37 pm1. under investigation for crimes
2. know there will be no election to worry about
3. represent a district of people so like minded (or perhaps blinded) that they agree with him
Inhofe belongs in a mental institution. Just another class act in the Republican party.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:37 pmIs there something in the water at the Republican side of the Senate?
July 24th, 2006 at 3:38 pmI want Inhofe to apologize on the Senate floor like they forced Durbin to apologize for invoking Nazism when he repeated a report of prisoner abuse.
Durbin wasn’t even speaking for himself, just that the reports sounded Nazi-like. Inhofe went much further.
If every fact can be refuted, where is the list of the facts and the corresponding rebuttels?
July 24th, 2006 at 3:38 pmInhofe, put up or shut up!.
i wish he could have joined me in woodland hills ca this last saturday. 120 degrees, the hottest day in history. he’d of loved it.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:39 pmReply to Clyde the Ripper:
The real trait being demonstrated here is the hijacking of a talking point to poison it to the point of uselessness.
If you’re capable of using the Internet enough to get to this page, you’re probably painfully aware that there is a lot of things that went on during the events of 9/11 that the American government is lying about to its own citizens and to the world. When confronted with this uncomfortable information, the average American naturally doesn’t want to believe it, and the number one objection is always ‘it’s just too big…there’s no way they could pull off such a lie’.
By way of response, I direct them to this quote:
As a result, the concept of the ‘big lie’ has been bandied about by many progressive groups trying to expose the truth behind 9/11. By attempting to appropriate the terminology for the Right, Imhofe hopes to poison its message to the point of uselessness, insuring that the real ‘big lies’ (enumerated above in an earlier post) continue uninvestigated.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:40 pmFrom the last article linked:
Funny, but this sounds more like a characterization of the RNC than the climate science community, no?
July 24th, 2006 at 3:40 pmOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKLAHOMA!!!!!!!!
July 24th, 2006 at 3:46 pmOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKLAHOMA!!!!!!!!
Citizens of Oklahoma, I beg of you, please just use some common sense next time you go to the polls. Both senators from your state are a national security threat.
Inhofe’s attitude can’t possibly be influenced by the fact that energy companies are his largest campaign contributors. That makes his fund-arising from fear comments hilarious. He accuses environmental groups of using fear of global warming to raise money. What about his using fear of environmental groups to raise money from energy companies?
July 24th, 2006 at 3:48 pmSeriously, what the hell is wrong with the water in Oklahoma?!?! This is a serious question. I demand answers!!!
July 24th, 2006 at 3:49 pmActually when the Righties accuse the Lefties of lying they are probably right in their conception as it has been said that the best and greatest lie is the truth disbelieved. How true it is.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:50 pmSen Inhofe reminds me of the movie “Animal House” in which the character played by John Belushi whose grade point average in college is Zero point Zero eventually becomes Senator Blutarsky. Another example of truth being stranger than fiction. I wonder if Sen. Inhofe in his college days ever led food fights in the cafeteria or organized toga parties? The only thing is that Inhofe doesn’t seem to have the same sense of humor as Belushi.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:53 pmRegarding Inhofe’s reference to the “Big Lie,” these paragraphs were also part of the Wickipedia article. Sound like someone else we know…like the “Decider?”
“The phrase was also used (on page 51) in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler’s psychological profile [1]
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it. - OSS report page 51″
July 24th, 2006 at 3:54 pmMaybe we should bomb Oklahoma as practice for Iran.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:55 pmNote: “Oklahoma is OK”. Not great, not even good, just okay.
And that’s the best slogan they could come up with.
July 24th, 2006 at 3:56 pmChrist, this guy can’t help but fall over & punk himself right & left, can he?
Ya’d think the left was out to get him but he’s doing such a good job on his own, I wouldn’t want to get in his way….
I do have to wonder about the good people of Oklahoma though. I know a bunch & they aren’t dummies. What’s up with that? Why would someone continue to elect morons for higher office (dumbya’s ears perk up).
July 24th, 2006 at 3:57 pmSo, what does it mean when you post a comment, it appears, then it’s suddenly no longer there?
July 24th, 2006 at 3:58 pmWe better get on Senator Durbin for this horrible degradation of our discourse!!!!!!!!!
July 24th, 2006 at 3:59 pmMust be the heat being applied to the pot he is in. His brain is being boiled.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:00 pmWikipedia (linked in the article) gives this bit of info from our own government; refering to the “big lie” -
“The phrase was also used (on page 51) in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler’s psychological profile [1]
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it. - OSS report page 51 [2] ”
Does this not sound disturbingly familiar?
July 24th, 2006 at 4:00 pmBadmoonman: it means the censors at TP are geting themselves all hot and bothered again.
Say, editors, why was my first post removed? Reasons?
July 24th, 2006 at 4:01 pmMy father married a woman who lives in Bartlesville, OK, and he moved there a few years back (from California) to join her. He and I were discussing this imbecile Inhofe over the weekend. I asked the question many of you ask, how could OK citizens possible believe in, support, and reelect someone so clearly owned by the companies listed in #9 above, my father’s response, “they don’t care and they won’t change.” OK is a lost cause. They’ve drunk the Kool Aid.

That’s quite a pair they’ve got in Oklahoma between this guy and Coburn.
Comment by attaturk — July 24, 2006 @ 3:36 pm
Don’t leave out Istook. fortunately his campaign audit should keep him busy.
The waters fine here, although a bit cloudy due to the main break. The problem with Oklahoma is that they elect ‘normal’ people to state office-probably to keep them here - but send the nutcases to Washington.
How they’ve gone from men like Carl Albert and David Boren, to Istook, Coburn and Inhofe is a testament to the gross manipulation of their deeply held religious convictions.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:02 pmBadmoonman: it means the censors at TP are geting themselves all hot and bothered again. - - Gosh I wonder which word offended someone. Could it have been dumbass? Ignorant? Okie? Or, dustbowl? Oh, maybe the word ‘Inhofe’ was offensive.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:02 pmBadmoonman:
At least you had something in your post that might have been considered offensive…as far as I can tell, my post was yanked for no reason at all.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:04 pmDamn, here we go again. This guy is a sleezy, sleezy man. I’ve lived in Oklahoma for the last 4 years (feels longer), and there are some good people here. I do have to say, though, that there is a pretty clear correspondence between poverty, the lack of quality public education, and the election of sleezeballs like Inhofe and Coburn. Well, that and religious fundamentalism.
I agree — the senators from my state are obviously securit risks and should be removed from office.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:09 pmHe uses Crichton as the final authority on the question of global warming. I think that Crichton was an MD, not a climatologist. How many thousands of qualified experts are discounted by this? What logical fallacies are used here- straw man, quoting an authority- what else?
July 24th, 2006 at 4:10 pmNote: As I explained in an earlier thread, the comments section isn’t a place simply to hurl invective at your enemies. These kind of comments crowd out actual discussion. If you have a post that’s only invective it will be deleted.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:11 pmNOBEL peace laureate Betty Williams displayed a flash of her feisty Irish spirit yesterday, lashing out at US President George W.Bush during a speech to hundreds of schoolchildren.
I think that what she said she would like to do to GWB she might want to consider (but not by me, of course) for this idiot senator….
July 24th, 2006 at 4:11 pm“that there is a pretty clear correspondence between poverty, the lack of quality public education,”
Oklahoma has roughly the same poverty rates as Texas, California and New York, so I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:13 pmIs it just me or does comparing honest, thinking scientists and those who respect their professional opinions to the Third Reich is enough “invective” to justify throwing a little bit back?
July 24th, 2006 at 4:17 pmI think that Crichton was an MD, not a climatologist.
He would be if he hadn’t dropped out of med school.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:18 pm#42 PLC,
No shit, uh, I mean, this Inhofe guy, just who does he think he is?
July 24th, 2006 at 4:19 pmIf we don’t reduce CO2 emissions, the Earth will figure out a way to do it for us…and it’s not going to be pretty.
We cannot wait any longer.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:21 pmRe: Crichton
I guess Inhofe believes that we can make dinosaurs from mosquitos, that soon we can travel to medieval Europe and that Michael Douglas would NOT have sex with Demi Moore…
July 24th, 2006 at 4:24 pmJudd, I’m happy to see your deleting some posts that are not of any use!
It’s one thing for Inhofe to just say “it’s a hoax” but he offers no proof. That he can say this in the mainstream media without any reprisal is just not right and down right scary.
If Inhofe is so against science then perhaps he needs to step down a notch in his daily living. I’m thinking that becoming an Amish follower would be a good start for him.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:24 pmMsybe they need to change the lyrics of that song (”Oh What a Beautiful Morning”) to:

And inhof’s crapola reaches up to the skyyyy!
Come here to Sacramento where we’ve had record temps for a week and a record for duration too!
The “Big Lie” is the GOP. Time to torpedo them in 08!
In response to Comment 38 (note by Judd) I would like to say that I am disappointed that my reference to Sen. Inhofe comparing him to Sen. Bultarsky in the movie “Animal House” is not considered a post that is hurling invective and therefore was not deleted. I want to stand up for all of us who feel we are hurling invective at Sen. Inhofe and yet have not been deleted. Some of us would be proud to have our posts deleted (so long as we were given proper credit)
July 24th, 2006 at 4:25 pmThe post comparing Sen. Inhofe to Sen. Blutarsky was no 22 (if it has not already been deleted)

July 24th, 2006 at 4:27 pmBig Al, I too wish Judd would delete your post as I think it’s an insult to Belushi. Now, clearly you were referring to the character Belushi played but you slipped up in the last sentence and that is where I draw the line. LOL
July 24th, 2006 at 4:30 pm“the big lie” is a Bush administration technique.
Apparently it is also a technique practiced by all republican “followship party” members.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:31 pmAs they say in the research community, “where’s your data?”
I can’t believe this guy thinks he is qualified to make any comment regarding this matter, not that he said anything intelligent that could be questioned.
My guess is that he is every bit as intelligent as our little wooden headed president Pinocchio.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:33 pmI totally agree with #13. Someone should raise a huge stink about his dropping the N-bomb and have him grovelling on the Senate floor.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:42 pmOk, Ok, enough with the Okie dustbowl crap. When you have the big oil companies pouring millions into the campaigns of Inhofe and Coburn you can get anybody elected. They do the
July 24th, 2006 at 4:44 pmsame shit that Dubya and Rove did to get re-elected. Flag burning, abortion, gays getting married. Stir up the Baptists on social issues and ignore the record gas prices and profits by the oil companies, unjust war, record deficit, etc.
They do the same thing here in Texas, it’s just the two nuts from Oklahoma are a lot more vocal.
[…] Thanks to Raw Story for the “heads up” and you may find the piece here at Think Progress.com. […]
July 24th, 2006 at 4:45 pmSenator is a classic example of corporate ass kisssing leaders who have little education or understanding in science, and/or don’t really give a crap about the future generations.
Mental dinosaurs like Inhofe should be the first to become extinct..
July 24th, 2006 at 4:45 pmI don’t know where Inhofe gets his anger. Are global warming proponents (meaning all scientists and everyone on the political spectrum save for right-wingers like Inhofe) calling those who disagree with them Nazis? I don’y think so. Maybe we should start, seeing as Inhofe refuses to let up from his sqawking hissy-fit. He’s got t to pretty loud for us to hear him, considering his head is in the ground.

July 24th, 2006 at 4:56 pmHow can one ‘refute’ a glacier disappearing? Pictures clearly don’t lie. Temperatures are most definately on the rise. The raw data unequivocally demonstrates this. The source of that increase may be in the debate by those in denial. However, proper scientific methods are very convincingly suggesting human activity is the source of this. I hope the A/C doesn’t go out in poor old Inhofe’s cushy office so he can keep focusing on being in denial.

We are not denying that global warming exists, but what is the cause. The earth’s climate is not static and has not been so in its 4 billion year existence so why should it be now? My problem with Gore and the rest of you chicken littles is your willingness to scream about the problem yet do nothing about it. You had eight years before Bush to get us off fossil fuels, what was stopping you? You contolled congress for forty years prior to 1994, what was stopping you? The sun actually drives our climate changes but none of you are willing to accept that fact.

July 24th, 2006 at 5:18 pmInhoff is talking like a man who takes enormous bribes from oil companies. But I could be wrong about that…He could be taking enormous bribes from someone else.
Here’s an idea: Let’s elect a Democratic congress and have a whole lotta fun finding out who’s been bribing Inhoff!
July 24th, 2006 at 5:21 pmAnd now… for your viewing pleasure, a sitting senator will perform the Big Lie–about the Big Lie.
Amazing performance. He looked like he actually believed himself.

July 24th, 2006 at 5:35 pmWow, I find this guy’s comments offensive not only as an environmentalist, but also as a jew. Not only is his above comment outrageous because it undermines our scientific consensus that global warming is an immediate problem that needs to be addressed, but it also downplays the severity of how twisted and evil hitler and the nazis were.
Senator Inhoefe = the ultimate douchebag
July 24th, 2006 at 5:37 pmCheck out Inhof’s campaign donations at http://www.opensecrets.org
His top two donors are Oil/Gas and Electricity…
If it were rich white guys at a bar, he would give them lap dances. Instead, it’s rich white guys who run oil companies and utilities…so he says stupid stuff
July 24th, 2006 at 5:39 pmUnfortunately there was a brain drain from Oklahoma during the 30’s dust bowl. The smart people left for California. Oklahoma has yet to recover.
Seriously. If he wants to debate the issue, I’m game. What evidence is he looking for? What can he offer in exchange.
How about this. Let’s see Gore and Inhofe debate for 90 minutes on an extended version of Meet the Press.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:39 pmHe’s welcome to come to Southern Wisconsin. I’ve lived here most of my life, and even in the past 25 years, the cross country skiiing has turned to crap. The snow just doesn’t stick around for more than a week or two these years.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:39 pmWhat a jerk. There are none so blind as those who would superglue their eyelids shut.
But I agree with the learned senator. And the second biggest hoax is that the world is round, when obviously it is flat. And if God wanted us to cool the planet, he would have made it with a big temperature control. See spot run Mr Inhofe?
July 24th, 2006 at 5:40 pmI am embarrassed he is from my home state.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:40 pmOh, and he’s a complete ass.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:41 pmI realize fully that nobody likes to hear these things. But it would be difficult to find anything more illogical or more insane than our contemporary laws in regard to State citizenship.
At present there exists one State which manifests at least some modest attempts that show a better appreciation of how things ought to be done in this matter. It is not, however, in our model German Republic but in the U.S.A. that efforts are made to conform at least partly to the counsels of commonsense. By refusing immigrants to enter there if they are in a bad state of health, and by excluding certain races from the right to become naturalized as citizens, they have begun to introduce principles similar to those on which we wish to ground the People’s State.
Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler
The political disparity of von Kahr and Adolf Hitler is elucidated when the editor of the staunchly royalist newspaper and speech writer for Von Kahr, Paul Egenter, questions Pöhner while locked in the beer hall: “Isn’t there a basic contradiction between von Kahr’s monarchistic and Hitler’s republican-dictatorial aims?” Munich 1923, pg 168.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:44 pmThis is just another reason to make sure everyone you know votes Democratic this November and again in 2008. It is time to sweep these parasites out of office and restore honor to America.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:47 pmI saw a documentary a few years ago on the fact that Oklahoma had one of, if not the, highest high school drop-out rate in the country. It was literally the trendy thing to do there.
So, if the majority of your population doesn’t have greater than a 9th - 10th grade education, then how do you expect them to care about or vote intelligently? Statistics show that the better educated a society, the more they advance themselves and their surroundings. Inhofe is exactly the kind of guy to get elected by people who don’t see the value in graduating high school.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:47 pmAll I can ask is your forgiveness for the citizens of Oklahoma, the very dolts that elected this numbskull to the Senate. What’s truly amazing is that Inhofe may actually be the more intelligent of the two “distinguished” senators from Oklahoma. Ouch.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:49 pmIf anyone wonders why our country is in crisis..in many ways….just read comments like this by the all time winner for talking trash. I have the utmost contempt for this weenie of a man. Anyone with a brain knows by now that the “opposite game” designed by Rove..(say what your opponents accuse you of back to them and acuse them of it..louder) is a pile of crap. It’s no longer going down. Inhofe is closer to the Third Reich than anyone who is American enough to face the truth about global warming, His days in power are numbered because the grownups are finally starting to arrive. Down with the Republican Party.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:50 pmThis is completely accurate. And we are finsing more and more proof that the Earth is indeed flat. Joshua did make the sun stand still. All Science is a liberal bias. When Jesus comes he will show all of you liberal punks that goodness comes in the form of a mushroom cloud. AMEN!
July 24th, 2006 at 5:52 pmDud you probably want us to believe that skin cancer can be obtained from over exposure to the sun. What will you think of next! Global warming. How about liberal warming!
Senator Inhofe is outraged at An Inconvenient Truth. And I’m outraged at his outrage.

I genuinely hope you are being sarcastic.
If not, I suggest you go back to middle school and get an education. The FACT that the Earth is round is irrefutable.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:57 pmHow about this. Let’s see Gore and Inhofe debate for 90 minutes on an extended version of Meet the Press.
Comment by TheMank
I would pay to see Inhofe spanked so bad.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:00 pmHere’s a similar strategy.Gut public education funding ’til the system no longer functions.The yield? A simple, malleable citezenry. The less you know the more you believe. Promise the public comfort and safety. Tell them the entire planet is threatened by intellectuals,scientists,teachers,free thinkers and practitioners of religious beliefs they are unable to comprehend. Create a blizzard of bullshit to distract, confuse,and frighten any doubters. All this,and lots more,is repeated time and again throughout history.The history no longer taught in public schools.From Little Joe Goebbles to Karl Rove propagandists haven’t really changed at all. A properly educated and informed public can limit their effectiveness

July 24th, 2006 at 6:02 pm#68 - Granpa Seth,
We are not denying that global warming exists, but what is the cause. The earth’s climate is not static and has not been so in its 4 billion year existence so why should it be now? My problem with Gore and the rest of you chicken littles is your willingness to scream about the problem yet do nothing about it. You had eight years before Bush to get us off fossil fuels, what was stopping you? You contolled congress for forty years prior to 1994, what was stopping you? The sun actually drives our climate changes but none of you are willing to accept that fact.
Comment by Grandpa Seth — July 24, 2006 @ 5:06 pm
In point of fact, Senator Inhofe IS denying (and has repeatedly denied) that global warming is happening. Perhaps you should look up the word “lie” (which he has used on numerous occassions to describe the VERY real phenomenon of global warming. As to those of you who only debate the reasons for global warming, show us some peer-reviewed scientific evidence from credible sources (and, no, medschool dropout science-fiction writers do not make credible sources when discussing climatology) and, perhaps, we shall take you seriously. You ask why we didn’t do anything about it? How about the fact that EVERY, I repeat EVERY step taken by the Carter administration to reduce our nation’s dependance on foreign sources of energy and clean up our environment was overturned by the Reagan and or Bush Sr. administrations. President Clinton begin to regain some of that ground by attempting to beef up the Clean Air and Water acts but, the Republican controlled Congress of the late ’90s fought him tooth and nail on all of them and what he did get passed has been overturned by the Bush Administration. It’s quite simple really, our planet doesn’t make distinctions for whether or not one is a Democrat or a Republican. This is NOT a partisan issue and, more importantly, it’s not only a scientific issue. You think our dependance on foreign oil is bad? Wait until our children are dependant on foreign water, or foreign air. As I said already though…you show us some credible peer-reviewed research that states that our planet is just going through a normal heating period and, just maybe, we’ll listen to what you have to say. Otherwise, keep your lies to yourself and let the rest of us “chicken littles” as you called us save the lives of your grandchildren grampa.

July 24th, 2006 at 6:11 pmThe country is run by nut jobs and it keeps getting worse. Where did these maniacs come from, and why are they running the country? Oh wait, no one reads anymore. No one values education any more, in fact, educated people are not to be trusted. (Ask George. They made him uncomfortable when he was in school.) I should know, I’ve taught high school for the last 32 years. It’s become a point of honor to be a dolt. Then they go out into the world and vote… or not…
July 24th, 2006 at 6:11 pmDick Durbin reads an FBI agent’s testimony about Gitmo that compares some of our methods to those in Nazi Germany and republicans went hog wild. I think one of the reasons why 7 in 10 people want to give control of congress to Democrats is that we’re tired of these inane double-standards.

Oklahoma once had a capable U.S. Senator who wasn’t an embarassment to his state or to his nation. But then David Boren resigned to become President of the University of Oklahoma, so he could have the ultimate power… the power to hire and fire the OU football coach. That should tell everyone the priorities of that state. I spent 14 months there in the 1970s (Thank God I was a graduate student at Oklahoma State!) and I learned enough about their priorities (or lack of them, depending on one’s point of view) to last me a lifetime. No wonder that state sees its best and brightest young people moving almost anywhere else after finishing college.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:21 pmThe scariest aspect of this whole thing is that our democracy succeeds in electing the likes of this person. I know: Oklahoma. But Oklahoma is full of wonderful, fine people too. How is it that things have become so skewed that such anti-science, anti-intellectual, anti-common sense, anti-decent public debate people make it to our highest offices in our democracy? In the past, yes, but today? We are going to have to do much better than elect people like this person to high office in our States and in the nation.

July 24th, 2006 at 6:26 pmTo Karl Marx, If we all came over to your house and took a dump, you would scream like a little girl. It’s about stewardship of the only home God has given us. So what’s so funny about managing it properly and handing it over to our children in better shape than we received it. Remember what your moron leader said about how his administration would be treated by history? “It won’t matter, because we”ll all be dead”. Real funny guys , real funny….So many Obscurants, so few bullets.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:29 pmRight, environmentalists are telling the “Big Lie” about global warming, so all of the Reichwingers need to commit genocide against them so that they — the Reichwingers, that is — will have all of the “breathing room” (and natural blond-haired blue-eyed superiority) they could ever need. And the world will be a happy place for the survivors, right? Makes perfect sense to me — good analogy, albeit probably not entirely intentional.
On a related note, has Iran mentioned global warming yet?
July 24th, 2006 at 6:30 pmChris- I’m from Pennsylvania and I certainly wouldn’t want anyone sizing up my intellectual skill set by the fact that Santorum is in office. I share your outrage and incredulity.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:31 pmDid anybody hear the latest on global warming? That it’s causing increased and more deadly wildfires throughout the world? Wildfires that are similar to the ones that devastated Inhofe’s home state of Oklahoma earlier this year.

July 24th, 2006 at 6:32 pmJudd,
The dishonesty never stops, does it? Inhofe was comparing global warming advocates to something Hitler attributed to the Jews, not to Nazis.
Gawd. Yet note here that at Think Progress it is quite common for lefties to call everyone else Nazis, fascists, neo-Nazis, and just a few comments above me, “Reichwingers”.
The hypocrisy is astounding, once again.
PS. Anyone remember Al Gore’s “digital Brown Shirts”? Yeah… Hypocrisy is a bitch.

July 24th, 2006 at 6:38 pmJudd,
I recently posted in the comments section a “proof” specifically for a poster named seixon who had asked for proof to support of liberal comments. I had simply revisited the past and listed government documents with some editorializing. I worked hard on the post and felt that it was important. There were no personal attacks and no foul language and yet I was axed all the same.
I think there is something else at work beside your dislike of personal invective.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:44 pmThis is not the first time Inhofe has demonstrated what an unbelievably stupid and ignorant man he is. Let’s hope his constituents are more reality-based.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:46 pmSeixon, didn’t you post a comment criticizing Dick Durbin for reading an FBI officer’s opinion that our Gitmo methods were similar to Nazi methods?
July 24th, 2006 at 6:47 pm“It kind of reminds . . . I could use the Third Reich, the big lie,†Inhofe said.”
Once again Inhofe proves he is the “big stupid.”
July 24th, 2006 at 6:47 pm#2: Amerikan GOP = 1930s German Nazis.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:48 pmAnd, let’s be clear on Nazis. Hitler and the Nazis hated liberals.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:48 pmHere’s the problem: If an okie is electing a senator in OK, one of which is holding a bible and the other a science text, who do ya think is going to win?
July 24th, 2006 at 6:49 pmInhofe, the same guy who publicly stated he absolutely has no gays anywhere in his entire family history. Yeah here’s a real open minded, deep thinker.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:50 pmInhofe, you recall, was behind making English the National Language by law. Too bad he didn’t want to make intelligence the National Characteristic.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:50 pmI’m an Okie and I’ve been embarrassed by the politicians of my state for the past 50 years. We’ve had a few good ones such as Fred R. Harris and Henry Belmon, but that’s about it.

Comment by Seixon
I’m confused. Inhofe is saying today’s liberals are like Jews living in Nazi Germany?
July 24th, 2006 at 6:55 pmHeh. One could deride the heartland’s intellectual capacity by simply saying, the heat must be getting to them.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:57 pmIf everyone keeps utilizing the same comment over and over again, it eventually desynthesizes the public so much that when it finally does mean something no one will listen. Similar to the word “War†– after “War on Christmasâ€, “War on Terror†and “World War IIIâ€, the public is becoming quite accustomed to being at war about anything and everything.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:59 pm[…] Other views: Think Progress, Sooner Thought, Tags: Inhofe, Senator, global warming […]
July 24th, 2006 at 7:00 pmOne could defend the heartland as Peggy Noonan did. If the scientists wanted us to do something about global warming, why did they use scare mongering tactics and fantastical stories of record breaking heat waves, drought in the Amazon, wildfires out of control, and hurricanes that wipe out major cities?
I mean really people, you expect us to believe that?
July 24th, 2006 at 7:00 pmIf anybody is to be compared to the Nazis its Inhofe and his fellow infidels. Let’s not forget that the scientific community is on the side of the believers in global warming. Inhofe is the one spouting the “big lie” when he claims that all the claims about global warming have been disputed by the scientific evidence. Quite the contrary. All the studies of any scientific authority and credibility support the global warming theses. Inhofe is the real Nazi here. Not the people who accept global warming as a reality.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:05 pmAccording to one 2005 poll, Inhofe is among the 10 least popular senators in the country, as voted on by a random survey of 600 Okies.
He scores even lower than DeWine and Santorum. For good reason.

July 24th, 2006 at 7:16 pmI hate to say it about any government official, but Man, what a dumb-ass! The problem is, that kool-aid drinker is about as Nazi as you can get.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:19 pmNo James, you are the big lie.
Just where do they find and elect morons like this?
July 24th, 2006 at 7:21 pmWell, with this evidence of complete lack of intelligence so openly displayed by Inhofe, at least it offers the good people of Oklahoma a serious wakeup call. What criteria is used by Americans to determine at what point you throw someone out of office and set him free on the badlands somewhere to spout his stupidity to the nightcrawlers?
July 24th, 2006 at 7:22 pmHe proved his own point by telling a gigangic lie of his own.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:23 pmHow could anyone expect anything else out of the butt (mouth) of this wingnut piece of shit. he’s a fascist bullyboy like his master.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:27 pmIt always amuses me that these rightwingers always use Nazism as a club to bash those of us on the left, particularly when Nazism was a RIGHTWING ideology!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
July 24th, 2006 at 7:28 pmIt’s not just Inhofe, but the whole lot of the GOP (my former party). What is happening to them? They’ve been caught over and over again distorting documents, etc., pertaining to women’s health, global warming, and so forth. Not long ago, a group of more than 60 top U.S. scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates and several science advisers to past Republican presidents, accused the Bush administration of manipulating and censoring science for political purposes. Those are the facts. Our best and brightest are horrified by the pack of lying fools in charge.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:30 pmI very rarely run into anyone that denies global warming and when I do they are usually hardcore right wingers. Many people say they don’t believe that mankind is the cause, the answer to that is, What difference does it make what the cause is? Mankind or nature it still has to be dealt with.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:34 pmThis is what makes me cringe when I have to give my location. Being an Oklahoman at times like this is postively horrendous. I just hope my own State realizes what they did wrong by electing Tweedle Dum and Dee to the Senate.

July 24th, 2006 at 7:35 pmI think Senator Inhofe’s intellectual inquisitiveness ended at either the last page of the Bible or on the final tally of his campaign contributions.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:37 pmLeave the man alone. He’s not right in the head.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:38 pmyes, that’s right, judd, keep playing defense. great tactic. a sure winner. keep airing the views of the whackjobs and giving them a forum. great progress being made here.
or in other words, please get your head out of your ass and start talking about solutions and not being fixated on the trainwreck that is the skeptic movement.
no offense, of course, but this is getting ridiculous.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:39 pmQUIT WASTING TIME AIRING THESE WHACKJOB OPINIONS.
we need to also think about what is going on in other parts of the world. a couple of years ago i spoke to a guy from amsterdam and he says that there had been more rain that year than they have had in 480 years. i figure if anyone has been keeping weather records for a long time it is the netherlanders. they have wrested much of their land from and sea and that it is very low lying…the dutch are also seafarers for forever…sailors and fishermen.
p.s. also while i was there, there was a hail storm (!) it didn’t seem very normal. it was much heavier than sleet but smaller than the hail i’ve seen before,,,it accumlated about and inch on the ground.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:43 pmHmmm. One of the Fellows of the International Leadership Forum, Michael Crichton, wrote an interesting book called State of Fear, and he also posted an article called “Environmentalism as Religion”. Also Jane Poynter, who has the opposing view, and is an environmentalist who lived in Biosphere 2 for two years, wrote “Environmentalism is Dead, Long Live Environmentalism, and these articles can be found in the blog, ILF Post (http://www.ilfpost.org) for your opinion. My own feeling is that Imhofe should have his head examined. This kind of comment is so 1945. He sounds so far right he is not even in the ballpark.

Have you ever been to the Flat Earth Society’s website? It’s laughable how they refute a ‘global’ earth… like saying that gravity works two dimensionally, and therefore a person should fall off the South pole. It defies 5th grade Science, really.

July 24th, 2006 at 8:03 pmComing from a Republican the Nazi comparisons are sickening given that his party is comprised of men who willfully violtate the Constitution when they see fit. Inhofe is closer to the Nazi side of the spectrum than any Environmentalist.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:03 pmFrom the Flat Earth website… It helps explain Inhofe:
A second critical piece to the Efimovich model is that the Earth is not the center of the solar system either. It is, according to “round Earth” theory, orbiting the sun at a radius of around five-hundred million kilometers. Were this the case, the Earth would be an accelerated object in circular motion around its sun. And thereby are the problems introduced. The Earth accelerating in circular motion would behave no differently than would a car taking a corner: loose objects (humans and animals would act like loose change or a cup of coffee on the dashboard) would slide around, or be thrown off completely. There would be an apparent centrifugal force on everything. During the day, when things would be facing the sun and therefore on the inside of the “orbit”, buildings would be crushed and humans beings squashed like grasshoppers in a centrifuge. And at night, when everything would be at the outside, trees and buildings would be ripped from the ground and flung into outer space, and humans wouldn’t stand a chance. Obviously, there is a flaw in Efimovich’s “orbit” theory.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:04 pmspeaking of solutions — not that i have $85,000 for a car — but has anyone else seen the tesla roadster? all electric, 250 mile range, 0-60 in 4 seconds… featured in ny times over the weekend.
if this thing becomes a status symbol, it’s a start. i can’t afford it, but if enough trendy cool people with money buy it, maybe the company can start making an affordable sedan or something.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:06 pmhow wonderful, now the republican nazi party’s inhofe us callling those who believe in global warming nazis. thats like hitler calling the jews nazis. if it looks like nazi, smells like a nazi, marches like a nazi, lies like a nazi and acts like a nazi, you its a republican!

July 24th, 2006 at 8:09 pmactually, bluedog, i think you’re wrong. i thought about changing your statement to:
No, their opinions deserve to be aired in the light of day and discredited.
but even then i think it’s going too far. as long as we’re willing to “discuss” the veracity of global warming, as if it’s still in doubt, then we’re getting caught up in the republican “when you lie, all you need is a tie” debating method.
we need to get on to solutions.
and we need to make pariahs of these people. no one in their right mind should want to listen to their opinions. let alone “discuss” anything with them. they don’t want any solutions, they want the status quo.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:13 pmIt used to be that we could count on the country’s two worst senators being from Alabama or Mississippi. Now it’s Oklahoma, where Imhofe thinks global warming is a hoax (what about WMD in Iraq, Senator?) and Coburn thinks doctors who perform abortions should get the death penalty.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:18 pmAll of this business is very simple. Bushes agenda not only for a New World Order, in which he and the NeoCons rule and you are basically on your own as in Katrina, but for a North American Continent Trade Government in which he and the NeoCons are in charge.
You can kiss the United States goodbye. This is why our laws such as immigration are not inforced. This North American Free Trade agreement calls for no borders and super NAFTA highways running from the Southern tip of Mexico into the extreme North of Canada.
These conservatives in Congress are preparing you for the disolution of America and Americans are simply too lazy to rise up against this let alone go to the polls.
Bush and Cheney pulled off 9/11. Anybody with a brain knows this.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:23 pmGiven enough time and damage, the Earth will shake us off like a dog after a swim. The Earth will continue. Carbon-based life forms containing mostly water will be extinct and some other kind of sludge will inherit the garden.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:25 pmYes, of course, people who don’t agree with the Republican leadership are “like Nazis” and are “against God.” Therefore, there is no reason to hold hearings, or have debates, or allow alternatives to be considered. How efficient our Congress has become! One wonders what took them so long.
