“This so-called climate science is just ridiculous,” said Kelly Khuri, founder of the Clark County Tea Party Patriots. “I think it’s all cyclical.”

“Carbon regulation, cap and trade, it’s all just a money-control avenue,” Ms. Khuri added. “Some people say I’m extreme, but they said the John Birch Society was extreme, too.”


Hey lady: The John Birch Society IS extreme. It was started by people who didn't think we'd quite had enough of McCarthyism.

The way these people can just outright dent science is just crazy. Theres one asshole in that article who really thinks Rushbo is smarter than the climate scientists, lol.

1. Well she sure nailed it. I'm one of those people she

references who thinks the John Birch Society is extreme.

Guilty as charged.

8. You "Think" The John Birch Society Is Extreme

Well, that would make you RIGHT! There ain't no thinkin' about it. It's an absolute fact.

And that lady (and i use that word liberally) is a dolt.

2. Did anyone catch the scary implication that the Baggers can one-up the Birchers in nutjobbery?

3. And the JBS only became what they are because of desegregation.

All of the racist rushed to join them....the Communist in schools and government were those that supported civil rights so they fit well with the racist.

4. and because the KKK fell out of fashion.

5. Exactly, baggers are nothing new

They are the same crowd as the birchers, and to a great degree the birthers. I'd bet you'd find alot of crossover with the whole militia bunch from the late '80s and '90s. It's the same bunch that is forever talking about "secret FEMA camps" and how the government is getting ready to impose martial law.

10. true that so many of the "truthers" don't know that Alex Jones is/has been a life long Republican

[Erose999]

12. Don't even get me started on Alex Jones and his brand of "investigative journalism" lol...

One guy sent me one of his videos about the "super-secret FEMA camps". In this video, Jones and his crew were in a truck filming around some seemingly random construction site. Someone comes out and asks the Jones crew what they're doing, tells them to leave the area and then a chase ensues... OMG teh NWO conspiracies are validated!!!11!1!11

I asked the guy what he would do if he were Foreman of a construction site and he saw some dudes were creeping up in a truck, snooping around taking pictures and video, claiming to be press but then spouting off conspiracy theories. Wouldn't you be just a little bit suspicious that they were really looking for some copper pipes or some lumber to steal, and if you had those suspicions, wouldn't you run them off?

That pretty much shut him up... LOL

6. Yes they did. n/t

7. If anyone thinks

this election doesn't matter - just look at these yahoos and ponder the future with them in charge!

VOTE!!!! Take your family and friends to the polls and VOTE!!!!

The thought of any of these lunatic GOP/TP'ers holding any official position of power scares the s**t out of me.

If any of them get elected, these loons will see this as a mandate and 2012 will be awful!

GO VOTE!!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. oh I am taking the family and driving many others to the polls to vote....

hell on the 2nd I have a 3 hr drive to two different college campuses to pick up my children so they can cast their votes at home and then drive them back to campus that night so they can get to their classes on the 3rd.

[Erose999]

13. I voted early yesterday. In and out in 5 minutes. WOOT!!

14. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...n/t
