Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/03/2011 11:28:47 PM
That really doesn't make much sense to me that saying some unnamed islands were affected in some unspecified way is a sign from Mother Nature. Sorry if you want to read some grand conspiracy into that but I just don't think his statement is clear.

He clearly specifies the way they were affected: They were hit by the tsunami, and obviously higher sea levels due to global warming would exacerbate the effects of such flooding. Please telling me your just working over time to be obtuse here; the alternative is rather appalling. (8
As for Rush you can’t claim to know exactly what he is talking about and admit that you are not even sure what he is talking about in the same reply. Well I guess you can but it doesn't make much sense. Just because Isaac doesn’t know what situation Rush was referring doesn't mean there isn’t another example out there. Goes back to that whole limitation of quotes out of context again. We can assume that Rush overstated who the "environmental community" is but beyond that we don't know what he is talking about. Maybe he was referring to the environmentalist the same way liberals refer to Tea Party, you And we have come full circle back to your double standard.

It's really simple: He didn't provide an example of what he was talking about for the very obvious reason that there is none--yet he made the accusation anyway. Making the accusation still requires him to prove the accusation, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt on making it up completely because I hadn't read the transcripts: Now I have, and he did. While making light of the tragedy at length. The transcript doesn't change the meaning of his statement, it simply reinforces that statement and provides others as bad or worse. As I said above, it's practically a clinic in begging the question: He starts off with Obama, Obama, Obama, I really hate Obama, Obama sucks, and y'know, friends, the worst part is that the media's gonna try to bring Obama into this! Um, the evil liberal media didn't, YOU did, at length, just so you could complain about them doing it. Then it's "[environmentalists] are scrambling to blame this on global warming" even though he provides no example of them doing so and later all but admits he's begging the question when he talks about how they're "gonna try" to make global warming the culprit, that "they will". Not, they've done it, and here's the example of them doing it like I said earlier but more like I HAVE no such example or I'd reference it instead of promising you that they're GOING to do it, honest!

So, how many drugs is Rush Limbaugh actually on? - 16/03/2011 08:30:25 AM 836 Views
Possibly different ones then the EESC president - 16/03/2011 03:58:41 PM 729 Views
No one's blaming the earthquake or tsunami on global warming. - 16/03/2011 04:22:52 PM 530 Views
Actually people have - 16/03/2011 04:31:37 PM 677 Views
Which people? Where? Example? - 16/03/2011 06:48:10 PM 697 Views

A slightly misleading post - 16/03/2011 07:41:46 PM 615 Views
Surprised? *NM* - 16/03/2011 08:59:35 PM 258 Views
Not completely. *NM* - 16/03/2011 09:13:48 PM 232 Views
Kind of missed the point there - 16/03/2011 09:54:35 PM 617 Views
If you link the transcript I'll look at it. - 16/03/2011 10:16:21 PM 490 Views

" I can't help attaching, you know, political reaction to this". Yeah, we noticed.... - 16/03/2011 11:10:11 PM 651 Views

Fair enough. - 17/03/2011 12:08:13 AM 585 Views
Re: Fair enough. - 17/03/2011 12:37:12 AM 558 Views
No worries. - 17/03/2011 12:48:44 AM 820 Views
I've read the transcript - 16/03/2011 10:34:41 PM 641 Views
Re: I've read the transcript - 16/03/2011 10:46:42 PM 556 Views
You need to reread what I said - 16/03/2011 10:49:45 PM 518 Views
No, I think you're still missing my point - 16/03/2011 11:09:04 PM 596 Views
Perhaps - 16/03/2011 11:26:37 PM 657 Views
Okay, I'm done - 16/03/2011 11:37:58 PM 552 Views
Seriously, you need to pick a better example to make your point - 18/03/2011 05:00:10 PM 535 Views
No. You don't get to say, "what he said doesn't matter because of how we learned of it". - 16/03/2011 11:54:46 PM 544 Views
I told you, I'm done in this thread - 16/03/2011 11:59:08 PM 524 Views
Acknowledged (though I'd not seen that response yet, sorry). - 17/03/2011 12:11:58 AM 564 Views
I think Republicans should stop using "legitimate". I do not think it means what they think it means - 16/03/2011 04:11:14 PM 637 Views
there are enough carzies on the left to make things like this easy for Rush - 16/03/2011 04:20:47 PM 581 Views
So it doesn't matter that no one said it as long as he can plausibly claim they did. - 16/03/2011 06:58:17 PM 511 Views
well since it is taken out of context it is hard to say where Rush was going with it - 16/03/2011 07:19:46 PM 617 Views
Um... he stated where he was going with it. - 16/03/2011 07:30:02 PM 578 Views
At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard - 16/03/2011 08:17:39 PM 523 Views
It's the same standard, whatever you choose to believe. - 16/03/2011 09:08:01 PM 644 Views
I don't thinkit is as clear as you make it out to be - 16/03/2011 09:31:53 PM 536 Views
It is not just "possible" he's talking about islands affected by global warming; he says it outright - 16/03/2011 10:09:16 PM 694 Views
Sorry but I still fail to see how the islands he mention are a sign of what needs to be done - 16/03/2011 10:27:20 PM 581 Views
Hey, guys! - 16/03/2011 10:55:07 PM 503 Views
and how its that different than what I said? *NM* - 16/03/2011 11:14:46 PM 221 Views
Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless. - 16/03/2011 11:28:47 PM 659 Views
lets throw a little context at asnd see if it matters - 17/03/2011 12:12:03 AM 541 Views
Yes: It makes it worse. - 17/03/2011 12:45:12 AM 550 Views
Re: At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard - 16/03/2011 09:22:37 PM 667 Views
maybe he heard that they were blaming it on Pearl Harbor *NM* - 16/03/2011 10:14:59 PM 224 Views
