Senator Bernie Sanders (S-VT): Climate skeptics are like Nazi “deniers”
The Senate’s self-proclaimed (and accurately described) Socialist lashes out at climate skeptics:
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is comparing climate change skeptics to those who disregarded the Nazi threat in America in the 1930s, adding a strident rhetorical shot to the already volatile debate over climate change.
“It reminds me of an event that took place in this country and around the world in the late 1930s,” said Sanders, perhaps the most liberal member of the Senate, during a Senate hearing Tuesday. “During that period of Nazism and fascism’s growth-a real danger to this country and democratic countries around the world- there were people in this country and in the British parliament who said ‘don’t worry! Hitler’s not real! It’ll disappear!”
Sanders’ Nazi comparison is sure to enrage Republicans who are already skeptical of the science behind climate change. But Sanders wasn’t the only one throwing bombs at a hearing that was ostensibly about the EPA’s fiscal 2011 budget. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), who has called global warming a “hoax,” is asking for an investigation into the science used in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the governing body on climate science.
Earlier in the hearing, Inhofe had chided Sanders: “I know the senator from Vermont wants so badly to believe that the science on climate change is settled but it’s not.”
Indeed. And he also apparently wants to blatantly ignore the mounting evidence that suggests that alot of the ‘facts’ and ‘data’ used to justify global warming alarmism and paranoia never were in fact ‘peer-reviewed’ and instead were based on papers and articles and ‘research’ done by individuals and groups who were and are already believers in the “man-made global warming” theory. So much for “settled science,” eh?
Talk about “deniers”? If there’s any group that deserves to be in that category it’s definitely the Bernie Sanders’ and Al Goracles and Kruggies of the world to whom inconvenient truths matter little (and we all know why).

Bernie needs to review history a bit: the people who pooh-poohed the threat from the likes of Hitler and Mussolini were on the Left.
Jerk.
Denier doesn’t really fit. I’m a AGW Heretic.
It was the weenie party here in the United States that ignored both Hitler and Uncle Joe. It’s not that they had a distaste for a war with Hitler; they have an innate distaste for any defense of any kind for any reason. They’d rather win disputes by their intellect, totally unaware that nationalists like Hitler are completely uninterested in such talks.
And as far as deniers being “Nazis,”, that is a classic example of projection. I would classify Sanders as a archetypal and stereotypical social democrat (for those who don’t know, a social democrat is a Nazi in every day language.)
Everybody knows that Marxism is named after Karl Marx. Marxism profoundly influencedSocialists(hello Bernie) and communists in Europe.
Inhofe should launch a study of Sander’s brain if he can find it.
While they’re at it they maybe should look into killing the EPA.
With just a SLIGHT rewording Bernie:
“During that period of Nazism and fascism’s growth-a real danger to this country and democratic countries around the world- there were people in this country and in the elite media who said ‘don’t worry! The Democratic Congress and Obama are great! It’ll get better!”
At least Hitler did the right thing: suicide…now what about you, Bernie ?
The liberals’ playbook has been exposed recently and is old and tired. Yeah we’re all racist Nazi Fascist wife beating, child hating homophobic oppressors of the poor. Is that it? It’s sad to see this lame tactic over and over again. It’s like watching the Green Bay Packers using the same play they used in 1963 over and over again. Eventually the other side figures it out.
The only difference between facists, marxists, and socialists is the amount of padding they use in the velvet glove that covers the iron fist.
Sanders is an admitted socialist, but one wonders how much padding is in his glove.
Okay, Senator, I’ll be a “believer”. If I sell real estate on the tidal cove where I live, and promise the new owner that the seas will rise within ten years and they can build a marina, when it doesn’t happen and they come after me for fraud, I’ll send them after you and Al Gore!
So does that make Bernie a Nazi ?
Neo, I don’t know enough about Sanders’ particular brand of socialism, but if he’s anything like our esteemed president, most of the president’s staff, and most leftists in Congress (especially Pelousy and Dingy), the answer is yes, very much so, and except for the association with the fallen fuhrer very proud of it.
