The logic hoops someone has to run through to come up with something like this are amazing

The documentary Merchants of Doubt does a good job of explaining how climate change deniers were able to merge their cause with reactionary right wing American politics. Limbaugh and his ilk simply accuse environmentalists of being 'watermelons'. Green on the outside but commie red on the inside. Therefore in the zero sum mind of the right, any concern for the environment at all = MARX.

There's an especially upsetting part focused on Bob Inglis, a republican congressman who was run out of office by the tea party for simply acknowledging that global warming exists. In one scene he's at a talk radio station and the interviewer says with a straight face that the majority of scientific research indicates there is no such thing as climate change, and as good as says that denialism is an inherent value of the right wing.

It's a really disturbing documentary.

It wasn't intended to be smug. It was more about how difficult it is. A few years ago I actually made a conscious decision to try and reduce the harm I was doing by just existing because I got so down about working in oil and gas, and then the more research that I ended up doing the more depressing the whole thing was until I gave up.

I think any animal that feeds us deserves to live a life in decent conditions and the people who make things for us that we use should also have a good condition of life.

They point I was trying to make was everyone has to make a personal choice when it comes to what they do and don't do, everyone draws their own line that they are comfortable with and looking down on anyone for drawing that line in a different place to you is a douchey move. I just didn't do a very good job because I was mad at dumb vegan comics.

Okay fair enough, sorry to come down on you.

I generally think that reducing harm is a noble goal when you can't eliminate it entirely, but some people have a stupid hard-line "it's either 100% or nothing" mentality. I mean, both some vegetarians/vegans have that mentality (on the 100% side) and many Evil Carnists think that way too (on the nothing side) and use it as a dumb argument against veg*ism. I've heard it way too many times.

Shockingly, the foxnews.com headline seems remarkably non-negative. Calling the decision a "major win for the Obama administration" is the closest thing to hostility as far as I can tell :toot:

Of course, story #2 is about the IRS targeting thing, but Obamacare got top billing

If John Roberts hadn't jumped at the chance to kill Obamacare the first time, he certainly wasn't going to do it over this weak poo poo this time. That didn't stop the usual suspects from drawing all manner of Obama crashing an ambulance into the SCOTUS building.

Talking Points Memo needs your help politoon thread

quote:

Cf. Frankfurter, Some Reflections on the Reading of Statutes, 47 Colum. L. Rev. 527, 545 (1947) (describing a cartoon “in which a senator tells his colleagues ‘I admit this new bill is too complicated to understand. We’ll just have to pass it to find out what it means.’”).

Can you help us find that cartoon? No special significance beyond its mention in today's opinion and my own curiosity about it. If you find it, scan it and send it, along with details about when and where it was published, to the TPM tips line at the top left of the page under the TPM logo. Thanks in advance.

You're so close to getting the cartoon in this post, all the key features are recognised, except you've somehow read it seriously, and don't quite get that this cartoon is mocking the kind of person who complains about European Socialism.
