Microsoft Funds Koch’s Climate-Denying Tea Party Conference |


Microsoft Corporation, which argues that climate pollution requires a “comprehensive and global response,” is sponsoring the Koch brothers’ Tea Party convention taking place in Washington, DC. Microsoft is a “gold sponsor” of the Americans For Prosperity Foundation’s fifth annual Defending The American Dream Summit, cheek and jowl with top climate denial front groups like the Heartland Institute, the American Legislative Exchange Council, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Speakers at the conference include climate deniers Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS), Ken Cuccinelli, Ann McElhinney, Chris Horner, Myron Ebell, and Carly Fiorina. Their prominent involvement was captured in a photograph by Slate.com reporter Dave Wiegel.

2. MS likewise crawls into bed with the Second-Coming False-Khrist Moonie Times (R)
Edited on Fri Nov-04-11 05:34 PM by SpiralHawk
Republicons really gots a major strange thing for falSe Khrists (R). Rev. Second-Coming Moon (R) is someone they naturally luvs, because he showers the Repubbies with CashMoneyBucks up the steenkin wazoo.

So the Republicon luv affair with Second Coming Moon (R) and his Propaganda Rag (Washington Times) is in no way honorable, it is at least understandable.

What's up with that? As if discerning Americans did not already know deep in the pit of their souls.
