Blogging Tories: Utterly worthless hacks, the lot of them.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, circumstances hand you the opportunity to learn what someone is really like. In this case, circumstances allow us to see just what kind of worthless, hypocritical cretins the Blogging Tories truly are.

As most folks have read, one of the big news stories of the day is the censorship by CPC MP Rona Ambrose of one Mark Tushingham, who was told he couldn't given a speech discussing his new science-fiction novel. Not surprisingly, the Progressive Bloggers of Canada are all over this story, like a Catholic priest on an altar boy.

And the Blogging Tories? As of 4:48 this afternoon, a text search of their home page showed not a single example of the text string "Tushingham." Another search showed precisely one example of the string "Ambrose," but only in the context of the weather forecast office for Newfoundland. And a search for the text string "censor" on that main page found three articles, two of them talking about the Comedy Central show "South Park." Priorities, priorities.

To be fair, though, we did find a link to the web site of pathological liar and douchebag Bill Strong and this article, which opens with:

"Global-warming alarmists intimidate dissenting scientists into silence", says Richard Lindzen, Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT, in this post called Climate of Fear:

Ambiguous scientific statements about climate are hyped by those with a vested interest in alarm, thus raising the political stakes for policy makers who provide funds for more science research to feed more alarm to increase the political stakes. After all, who puts money into science--whether for AIDS, or space, or climate--where there is nothing really alarming?

Indeed, the success of climate alarmism can be counted in the increased federal spending on climate research from a few hundred million dollars pre-1990 to $1.7 billion today.

h/t: Kate That might help us understand why it's difficult for scientists to speak out against the "global warming" dogma.

which would seem to suggest that Mr. Strong is terribly, terribly concerned about the notion of intimidating scientists into silence. Well, at least some of them, apparently depending on their ideology.

Just when you think the Blogging Tories can't get any more weaselly and hypocritical, they can still take your breath away.
