Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, October 19, 2009

Reuters, Fox Business Network, CNBC and other media outlets were tricked Monday into falsely reporting that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had shifted its position and was now supporting the climate change legislation being debated in Congress. A fake chamber spokesperson calling himself Hingo Sembra held a press conference at the National Press Club today to trumpet the shift in policy. The press conference began normally but dissolved into a surreal scene when a legitimate Chamber official burst into the event, having heard about it from a reporter, and exclaimed that "Sembra" was a phony.

Too bad there was no heads up earlier about the media falling for a phony presidential candidate.

Barack Hussein Obama -- The MSM has abdicated its role -- They compete with each other to stroke his pole -- Mmm Mmm Mmm

US Chamber of commerce has recently lost major corporate members over their position and activities regarding climate change legislation.
Anything that draws attention to their coal friendly, eco unfriendly positions and lobbying is a good thing.

Hopey Changey hasn't stopped crying since the election. Sore loser.

"falling for a phony presidential candidate."

And another birther throws his sheet on the fire.

"""Too bad there was no heads up earlier about the media falling for a phony presidential candidate."""

they didn't: they outed palin for the dumb fuck that she was.

The media is full of morons trying to beat the other morons to get the story "first", but who cares about doing it accurately.

So you gave us a worthless, clueless, gutless piece of marxist shit dumb fuck. brilliant.
The parasites are fighting over who's going to eat who, libtards, retards.
Too fucking stupid to see they have depleted the host.

You have to admit, hopeychangey's play on words on the Obama indoctrination song is pretty entertaining.

Matsop, no we dont.

Sorry, I have to work on my sense of humour.

"The debate is over. Give ME all your money."

stroke his pole -- Mmm Mmm Mmm

sounds like a craig/foley conference..

He probably told them Al Gore was stuck in a helium UFO, too.
The media hasn't done research on any story since watergate.

Sorry, I have to work on my sense of humour.

Is it just me or does this sound like the plot for a Mel Brooks movie?

Danni what the fuck is wrong with Coal?? Sure it's dirty but so to are a lot of fossel fuels. I'd much rather burn coal that comes from the Good Ole US of A than to burn fossil fuels from the middle east. Besides did You know that by chewing on soft coal You can clean Your teeth?? I've done it and it works. Tastes like shit but better than being shit.

Burning coal is the most polluting way to generate electricity. From mining, to transportation, to generation, to waste disposal, coal causes severe environmental problems that other energy resources do not. Coal is full of hazardous substances that, when burned, contaminate the air, the land and water. Other sources of electricity generation, including water, wind, and solar do not have these severe environmental consequences.

It sounds to me like the only thing hopeychangy wants is more of the same old shit his buddy Bush offered. Why do republicans always choose a moniker with a message? Are intelligent people supposed to get some subliminal message that they have a more valid argument because of their handle? What do we have here on DR, rightsright, rightnut, wisgod, hopeychangy, freechoice, justgettingalong...the list goes on, but there is one thing in common, they are all oxymorons.

Then he should be happy with President Obama, since he hasn't changed anything since being in office.

I can't speak for the them, really, but it's just a name. Are we supposed to assume that you're really leading a circus. It's hilarious that this upsets you so much.

Water? You need a damn. What do they usually damn up? A Valley with a river running through it. They've done it dozens of times and it always destroys an ecosystem.

Solar? Either you're going to have to put it in the desert where it's only going to serve one section of the country, or you're going to have to clear cut a lot of trees.

Wind? Same as above, with the added benefit of killing birds that fly too close.

Now I'm not saying coal isn't dirty as hell. I've got a coal plant just 45 minutes away. Mercury levels in the streams nearby are on the high side and the coal ash spill last year really made my ears perk up....but you're not offering a solution that hazards from the environment. You're just offering to move them from one place to another.

The Human condition is Toxic. Living is Toxic. We all gonna die someday.

Stop the presses!

Hold page one!

Sorry, Spud just always wanted to say that.

Weird story ...even fer the Tort which already thrives on such.

Be Well.

coal is king and will be for decades,just ask china.

your chamber of commerce working diligently to raise the cost and lower the quality of your life.

Axiom - LOL. The only Ring this guy is Master of is that brown and greasy one in the tub after his monthly soak.

"Media Falls for Phony Chamber of Commerce"

That is why we need free and unobstructed internet.

I hope that by now, (after all, it is 2009) you do not believe in that Anthropogenic Global Warming AGW) nonsense. Logically, from AGW hysteria follows another exercise in politically correct stupidity, namely carbon trading shell game. It is obvious that, at least as far as the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) is concerned, neither the Democrat Party, nor the media, have the interest of Americans at heart. The ETS, amended or not, could bring great benefits to bankers, trial lawyers, pseudo-scientists and other charlatans and bureaucrats, not to mention China and India, but only misery to American citizens/voters.

I hope we will do whatever is needed to stop the ETS idiocy and protect our economy

"[a] person who knowingly assumes a false or fictitious identity and, under that identity, does any other act intending unlawfully to gain a benefit for himself is guilty of criminal impersonation,"

That would imply that the "Yes Men" tactics are illegal. An organization that is participating in Illegal acts to further their end goal should not be commended. They should be shutdown and put in jail. The lack of morals and regards for laws in the US is at an all time low. You notice that laws only apply to those not pushing an agenda?

Deception and illegal activities are a bad thing. It may seem funny right now, but we need to teach our kids better or they will be on the streets gang banging you over the head with a 2 x 4. Do you want that?

I'm in full support of alternative energies; however, the method to move American to these alternatives is flawed. Global Warming is the threat today. There is scientific proof to support both sides of the story. In certain areas such as Chicago we have been cooler the last 10 years. When you claim Armageddon is coming, you sound like Chicken Little.

Support energy independence through the use of Nuclear energy, clean coal and hydrogen cars. Solar and Window power are good supplemental energy; however, their costs are still too high and is not always sustainable and reliable to power the grid entirely. We need to develop a clear plan which does not exist today. Taxing is not the way to go. Make it cheaper.

Don't believe everything you hear from GE, their in it for the money (power & Health Care)(Call it Greed, not advancement of the green initiative). GE is THE EVIL CORP. And oh, by the way, why did we award the last round of stilumlus for wind to the French. There has to be alternative to GE and the French.
Obama claimed it would create and spur green jobs in the US. Doesn't happen when they send our money overseas (how about the cash for Toyota?)

Idiots on this site need to be reminded that cap and trade was originally proposed by "free market" Rethuglicans. They are against it now only because the Demowussies are on board. G-Sax and Morgan-Staley have figured out another way to extract profits without contributing anything of value to society. Its their trademark move. The lesson in all this is it doesn't make a knats ass worth of difference which party is in charge. Red, Blue, White, Black, same shit different color.

What these criminal minds depend on is the public's short memory. People don't even remember Paulson's original stated purpose of the bailout. The money's all gone with no strings attached and none of his alleged reasons or purposes have been carried out. Freeing up credit markets? Supporting small business? Invigorating consumer spending? Protecting home values?

Just like the Iraq War, nothing has been accomplished, yet the money's all gone into bonuses for failure, stock and derivatives speculation, buying small banks, reducing competition. Just like the S&L, BCCI, Enron, Tycco..... the money went to organized, politically sophisticated criminals.

...you're only reinforcing the point that both the Democrats and the Republicans must be voted out before their abuses of power and the Constitution destroy this exceptional country.

Nope, I've been doubtful of Human Caused Climate change from the beginning (due to my knowledge of history, and the fact that like shit, climate change happens, and the green idiots TO THIS DAY, have NEVER ONCE seriously addressed showing how current climate change is different. They keep pointing at melting ice (which in many cases is NOT melting....), shout "climate change!!!", and CONTINUE to not wrap their minds around the fact that climate change, EVEN IF REAL, AND EVEN IF BILLION DEAD PEOPLE CATASTROPHIC, IS NOT, REPEAT, "NOT" EVIDENCE OF "HUMAN CAUSED" CLIMATE CHANGE...... but I digress....)

Further more, I've been HARDCORE anti-green for well over a decade. At NO POINT did I favor Cap-and-Trade.

And I'm not the least bit unique.

Everyone who calls "bullshit" on Human Caused Climate change, is by definition, against Cap and Trade.

The media is full of morons trying to beat the other morons to get the story "first", but who cares about doing it accurately.

Here is the problem with coal, beyond the local environmental impacts: It is essentially 100% carbon. Every ton of coal burned puts one ton of carbon (3.66 tons of CO2) in the atmosphere. Other hydrocarbons have hydrogen bonds. Methane (major ingredient in natural gas) is the best with 4 hydrogens per carbon. (The hydrogens become H2O when burned, i.e., clean energy) Bottom line - about twice as much CO2 generated per BTU with coal. So if you want to maximize introduction of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, then let's keep burning that coal. And don't believe the nonsense about 'clean coal'.

Oooooooooooo scarey more CO2 in the air meaning easier breathing for plants therefore easier breathing for Humans because of photosythesis. WOW such a scarey Greenhouse gas(ROLLS EYES) Sorry but I am a firm believer in nonglobal warming IE I do not believe in this whole Global Warming Greenhouyse gas bruhahahahaha. I think it's a crock of shit just to make it easier for scientists to fleece the Federal Government out of research Dollars and two to keep the populace afraid. You know an affraid populace is a more controllable populace.
