Jon Stewart Catches Glenn Beck Digging for Gold

Quote from dsq:

conservatives and right wingers are luddites who hate science.
I wonder if they distrust and dismiss their doctors advice with the same venom?

No, what people hate is junk science. Science that manipulates the data to produce a forgone conclusion isn't science. It's an assumption by those with an agenda. It ain't climate science, it's climate politics.

Quote from dsq:

For example?

The right wing wants and fights for taking away worker benefits and busting unions.The right wing wants a return to working conditions that existed before the end of the 19th century.
Guess who created the weekend?It was the unions.

Its all about greed and consolidated wealth.Capitalist socialism all its own.

You sound just like the kind of guy I need on the other side of my trades, and for that, I thank you.

The words you try to weave have no basis in fact. Unions once served a useful purpose. That time has long since passed. Now they're nothing but a blood-sucking scourge that places a tax on all of us in so many ways. e.g. GM,Chrysler

If unions disappeared we'd go right back to where we were. Human nature has not changed.

And corporatations aren't? Unions are the blood sucking creatures that protect workers from the blood sucking corporations. As said above, it's human nature. I'll take it on both sides rather than just one.

I suppose the science that concluded smoking causes cancer and other serious ailments was also junk science? Many of the same lobbyists and "scientists" who dismissed the hazards of smoking are now members of the climate change denial industry:

I can see how the denial industry can fool children. But you're an adult, right?

The vast majority of scientists and the ipcc support global warming science.Youre just an idiot on et and you think you know better?All you conspiracy wackos are unreal.What drugs are you on?Oh yeah i forgot jesus juice.
When science and fact are too much to handle right wingers invoke 'god' nonsense like james inhoffe and other kookoo deniers.A very strong correlation between anti science and religious nuts.
Look at faux news.

"The Other or constitutive other (also referred to as othering) is a key concept in continental philosophy, opposed to the Same. It refers, or attempts to refer, to that which is 'other' than the concept being considered."
