Sen. Inhofe Compares People Who Believe In Global Warming To ‘The Third Reich’
Stolen directly from here.
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.â€
Inhofe added that every claim in An Inconvenient Truth “has been refuted scientifically.†He also admitted he’d never seen the movie.
It should be noted that the Oklahoma Senator’s biggest contributors are Oil & Gas and Electric utilities. Inhofe is also a holocaust and evolution denier and a crook.
But I blame the people of Oklahoma who don’t vote.
For the record: The government reports that the first half of the year was the warmest on record for the United States. The average temperature for the 48 contiguous states from January through June recorded at 51.8 degrees Fahrenheit, or 3.4 degrees above average for the 20th century.
This makes it the warmest such period since record-keeping began at the National Climatic Data Center.
According to the data, no state was cooler than average and five states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri experienced record warmth for the period.

Shall we refer to Inhofe as Colonel Klink! Yavolt, Acommodant. If anyone knows about nazi’s, I’m sure you do. Too bad science is winning over ignorant fools such as yourself.
As I write this Sacramento has broken a record for consecutive days with 3 digit temperatures. I’m adding AC to my home. The home I bought 5 years ago in an area where no one has AC because “…we don’t need it here!….
Ice caps are melting, polar bears are drowning, glaciers are nearly gone, hurricanes are the worst we’ve seen.
But no, I’m sure you’re right. After all, you base your points on…..on…. hmmm…. I guess I missed your background in this field. Could you provide that so I can defend you further! Thanks.

From 1999 to 2004, Inhofe received more than $588,000 from fossil fuel interests, but that’s not the scary part. As an avowed Christian Zionist, Inhofe is trying to convert the U.S. into a Christian theocracy of the sort that would make Jesus weep. His foreign policy views include calling for an escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (he’s partying now!) because that’s what the Bible told him.
Even more terrifying, and perhaps illuminating, is Inhofe’s support of an end-timer view that says God needs help from man to prepare the world for the apocalyse. Environmental ruin is a key aspect of this warped theology, and global warming is preparing the path. I believe that Inhofe is lying - he knows the reality of global warming and, as long as we do nothing, it supports his Nostradamus-on-acid beliefs.

Yes, 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.

The BIG LIE is something that the illustrious senator from OK ought to know about because…
However, I myself am not fully on board the ‘global warming’ meme. It is possible that since tectonic plate drift is still an operating principle, that the heat we are suffering is simply that the northern hemisphere is slowly drifting towards the equator! Deny it Senator I.
