Sen Inhofe Compares Majority of Americans to Nazis

A majority of Americans believe global warming is happening. However, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), for the second time, has compared people who believe in climate change, to Nazis.

From theTulsa World:

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.

Sen Inhofe is generally acknowledged as the most anti-environmental Senator in the US Senate. It shold come as no suprise then, that he is the chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee which oversees environmental legislation under this administration.

And I just always figured mountainfolks were quiet about global warming because we want beachfront property in Watauga County. At least, thats what I was plannin for 🙂 .
