The young public affairs officer who resigned from NASA this week amidst controversy over his handling of communications on global warming charged on Thursday he's the victim of a politically motivated smear campaign.

George Deutsch, 24, a former Texas A&M University student who left the school to work on President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, lashed back at those who accused him of scientific censorship.

He directed much of his wrath at James Hansen, a prominent NASA climatologist who complained in media reports that Deutsch was relying on Republican dogma to restrain scientifically motivated concerns about global warming.


"What is going on at NASA and throughout the federal government is a culture war," Deutsch said in a statement from his Washington-area home. "I quickly learned one thing: Dr. Hansen and his supporters have a very partisan agenda and ties reaching to the top of the Democratic Party."

1. They always blame us for getting caught.

:)

[Cassandra]

2. There's something about that phrasing...

"ties reaching to the top of the Democratic Party." that makes the Democratic party sound like the Communist Party. Or maybe he just can't accept that the facts are biased towards us. What a weasel.

[JHB]

3. Yes, it's a "culture war"...

...against a "culture" of fraud, lying, venality, and rigid ideology uber alles.

4. Took the words right out of my mouth

I'll take our cultural values of not lying on your damn resume to get a job, thank you very much.

5. HE lies...and HE's the victim. The party of responsibility, LOL!!!

"I quickly learned one thing..."

How about leearning not to lie on your CV? Did ya learn that yet?

6. The Democratic party wrote his lying resume?

Asshat.

14. Here's What MLK Said About Turds Like This

It is also midnight within the moral order. At midnight colours lose their distinctiveness and become a sullen shade of grey. Moral principles have lost their distinctiveness. For modern man, absolute right and wrong are a matter of what the majority is doing. Right and wrong are relative to likes and dislikes and the customs of a particular community. We have unconsciously applied Einstein’s theory of relativity, which properly described the physical universe, to the moral and ethical realm.

Midnight is the hour when men desperately seek to obey the eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not get caught." According to the ethic of midnight, the cardinal sin is to be caught and the cardinal virtue is to get by. It is all right to lie, but one must lie with real finesse. It is all right to steal, if one is so dignified that, if caught, the charge becomes embezzlement, not robbery. It is permissible even to hate, if one so dresses his hating in the garments of love that hating appears to be loving. The Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest has been substituted by a philosophy of the survival of the slickest. This mentality has brought a tragic breakdown of moral standards, and the midnight of moral degeneration deepens.
MLK 1963


WHY DO YOU THINK THEY KILLED HIM?

[rucky]

7. Good thing he has no credibility.

who cares what this huckster thinks?

[slor]

8. Why not?

Hell, they have blamed us for the war in Iraq. If they can try that one, and they did, why not this one?

[Canuckistanian]

9. He thinks he was "entitled" to his job

No scientific experience? Who cares?
Bullying world-reknowned researchers? So what?
Lying on your résumé? Big deal.

Having Democrats complain about you?

Crime of the century.

10. Did DeLay have a NASA Project, too?

This is almost word for word what DeLay does. BTW, whatever happending to personal responsibility? Anytime someone claims an excuse of partisanship like this guy, they are only trying to blame someone else for their own behavior.

DeLay's Grab for NASA

posted April 21, 2005 (May 9, 2005 issue)

Who's in charge of the US space program? There's the administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for one, and of course the President--and also Tom DeLay.

The scandal-scented Republican House majority leader has invaded NASA, grabbing its biggest outpost and taking a rather personal interest in the agency's budget. He has established himself as the go-to guy on Capitol Hill regarding NASA. And given the way Washington works, this means he can influence how the agency carves up its $16 billion pie and how it resolves critical policy debates--matters of keen interest to aerospace and military contractors, who often look to make contributions to friendly or feared legislators. Fans of NASA might cheer DeLay's involvement. "It's always to the benefit of the agency to have someone in the leadership interested in the agency's budget," says Wesley Huntress Jr., an associate administrator of NASA in the 1990s. "And Tom DeLay is very interested in NASA." But anyone concerned about good government and effective and appropriate budgeting decisions ought to fret about The Hammer's sway over NASA. "With NASA changing its spending priorities to support President Bush's vision for space exploration that will return humans to the moon and take them to Mars, there will be plenty of money going to start-up companies with no record of producing hardware, and there will be no way to measure results," says John Pike, director of globalsecurity.org. "DeLay, if he wants, will be in charge of a free-for-all, with money flowing everywhere--mainly flying in the direction he directs." NASA, then, is another potential source of money and power for DeLay--if he survives his ethics trouble.

Now he's on the appropriations committee. How conveeeeeenient.

21. Conning the purse strings is what DeLay does best

...as in Con artist. He should be the poster boy for Waste Management.

11. Why is it the republican operatives have to have names like

Bohner and Deutsch? It's just too easy.

Look for Mangina to surface as the original leaker some time soon.

Beyond joking: I heard Randi Rhodes discussing this yesterday and I couldn't quite make out what she was talking about. But now it makes sense. This guy is a real turd.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. How do you have a culture war in science? The little Nazi ought

to STFU!

[izzybeans]

18. You give little political operatives like this a job at NASA.

Is one way. He then starts to attack a fairly strong consensus based upon his handlers information. Silencing the voice of the scientists by being censoring the information that gets disseminated to the public.

Google the words "Science wars" you'll see some interesting stuff.

[elehhhhna]

13. He was AWOL from A&M. Management perpetuates itsself.

[karynnj]

15. Did the ties extend beyond saying he was voting for Kerry?

At least from what I've read, other than that he has just spoken about his field - relying on scientific research. This is NOT "culture war". Maybe he liked that Senator Kerry and other Democrats actually listened to what he had to say.

[BOSSHOG]

17. He's tomorrow Michael Brown, He's being groomed

as all young republicans are. He has gotten an education, the education of right wing hate but you won't find it in his resume. He will soon be an esteemed fellow at the Heritage Foundation and someday soon will be branching out to a jackamoff style "career" to aid and abet the party.

[librechik]

19. see, the democrats are right all the time, and popular--we HAVE to cheat

to even make a dent! (Republican thought bubble)

[MrBenchley]

20. Reminds one of the Third Reich...

When Jewish science was forbidden in their "culture war" and no-one could publicly criticize the fuehrer on any topic.

[drm604]

22. Culture War?

Sure, between facts and non-facts. I guess if you want to call that a culture war... :eyes:
