Big Energy shill Sterling Burnett went on Faux News today and compared Al Gore to the late Nazi Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels:
[Crooks and Liars w/video] That's the problem. If I thought Al Gore's movie was as you like to say, fair and balanced, I'd say, everyone should go see it, but why go see propaganda? You don't go see Joseph Goebbels'' films to see the truth about Nazi Germany. You don't go see Al Gore'' films to see the truth about global warming...
Dang, that's not even the usual scary right-wing lunacy, it's just funny in a pathetic sort of way. So anyway, who is Sterling?
NCPA--H. Sterling Burnett , Ph.D. is a Senior Fellow for the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA). While Burnett works on a number of issues, he specializes in issues involving environmental policy.
The NCPA?
Exxon Secrets--National Center for Policy Analysis has received $390,900 from ExxonMobil since 1998 ... The global warming "experts" on the [NCPA] team are climate skeptics who opposed the Kyoto Protocol and continue to oppose any regulation of greenhouse gasses. Global warming "experts" include Marlo Lewis and Christopher Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI)
Ahh yes, bingo.
Incidentally, the CEI is the group which made the hilarious oily-fuzzy disinfomercials explaining that greenhouses gases are the breath of life. We're going to see more and more of this general behavior as the right-wing lunatics panic in the face of their failed ideology. I hope at least some of it is this comical and relatively benign.
Vote with your wallet: See Al Gore's new movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
