Water on Mars: Rush Limbaugh pans evidence of water on Mars as part of 'leftist agenda' - POLITICO

But it gets worse..

Part of Transcript I just copied from Limbaugh's site:

"CALLER: Hey, it's great to be here. Thank you very much. Giga dittos, Rush, Mega isn't enough. Once again your prescience has paid off. At the noon news hour here in Wichita, I heard ABC interviewing the NASA scientist talking about the water on Mars --

RUSH: Yeah, yeah.

CALLER: -- and how it could lead to proof that there was life or something.

RUSH: Right, right.

CALLER: So the ABC reporter, I can't remember her name, did come on and say, "Mars may have been more like earth at one time," but she basically related it to climate change may have brought about its desolate condition now. She didn't say those words, but pretty much they were equating climate change to Mars' condition now. And I was just floored when I heard them say that."

At first I was like, "Why the heck would "Leftist" scientists, out to advance anthropological climate change, want to claim it can skip across space to another planet?"

Additionally, Limbaugh sounds so confused about basic science, I'm almost embarrassed for him.

"It's a brand-new place. Nobody's ever been there. But that's why, and there was no way anybody could have known. Now, it might have been wise to take precautions, but this is absurd. "Catastrophic" events when nobody lives on Mars? Until they're gonna tell us they did. "Yep, and global climate change destroyed them!" Don't rule it out, folks. We're dealing here with desperate leftists who will do anything to advance their agenda here on earth. I know, but don't laugh." - Rush Limbaugh

Holy mother of god, he is stupid. That is literally the dumbest interpretation of anything I have ever heard. Holy &^%$, this dude is ignorant. I don't like Limbaugh but I never would have imagined he was this stupid. He doesn't have enough of a basic background of science to know what would be insane for scientists to propose.

He thinks scientists would advance a theory that former, long dead, intelligent extraterrestrial life on Mars caused climate change there!

1. And he gets a racist swipe in, by blaming it all on the Tharks. nt

2. The sad things is

he still has listeners that believe him.

3. Those ancient Martians built the canals, everyone knows that

and then, because they screwed around with the environment, the canals dried up. Then they had no way to get around so they sat in their houses in front of their 3D TV sets and died off.
Everyone knows that
