Liberal Senator Compares Climate Skeptics To Mafia
Racketeering is a criminal activity which is designed to benefit organized crime and includes extorting money and illegal business activities. It doesnt take a legal scholar or a lawyer to understand what this is saying (unless you happen to be Bill Clinton arguing over what the word is means).
But Rhode Island Democrat, Sheldon Whitehouse, suggested that anti-racketeering laws (RICO) should be used against climate skeptics because he thinks that climate skeptics must be funded by oil companies. I mean, obviously, anyone who disagrees with global warming must be getting paid off or financially benefiting from calling climate change nutcases
well
nutcases.
Because, you know, NASA would never disagree with climate change. And this guy is obviously making a fortune by using logical thinking (gasp!) to prove that climate changers do not have a valid scientific case.
But, if youre a liberal and you cant win on reason and intelligence, theres always the handy-dandy lawsuit or threat of jail time for anyone who dares actually think intelligently about one of your pet issues. Sounds like liberals like Whitehouse should be charged with racketeering and not climate skeptics. After all, theyre getting paid by special interest groups for lobbying for this nonsense.
So, does Whitehouse need to go to jail or do we (because we are climate skeptics)? Tell us below.
