We try, but the general trend among the right wing blogs is the elimination of any dissenting voice no matter how reasonable. A good example of this is Bart's RedState challenge of last (sorry I can't find the link right now).
Seriously? Bart has succeeded in silencing your dissenting voice? That sucks eh? Not to worry, I hear the odd left-wing voice managing to slip through his diabolical net.
I know where you're coming from though. We get a lot of that censorship crap in the arena of climate realism.
First of all there's the threats...
"British foreign secretary Jack Straw has said that "skeptics should be treated like advocates of Islamic terror and denied access to the media."
Grist magazine has called for Nuremberg-style "war crime" trials for those who deny that human beings are causing a global climate disaster. (Read it yourself here, here, and here.
George Monbiot (author of the best selling book The Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order) wrote in Guardian magazine that 'Every time someone drowns as a result of floods in Bangladesh, an airline executive should be dragged out of his office and drowned.' "
SourceNASA chief Michael Griffin was silenced by an activist group within NASA's GISS when he suggested global warming might not be a problem.
A campaign of discreditation was begun against Dr. Friis-Christensen when he had the temerity to suggest to the IPCC the sun might warm the earth a little too.
I already showed you how the IPCC indulged in a peculiar form of censorship when they attributed science to Christopher Landsea he did not believe in. They have another way of censoring experts. They were having a lot of trouble finding an actual expert to endorse the idea warming would cause an increase in diseases like malaria. None believed that. Their solution. They found a guy whose
principal interest was the effectiveness of motorcycle crash helmets (plus one paper on the health effects of cellphones).
Dr. Bill Gray, pioneer of hurricane forecasting, and almost half a century veteran of Colorado State University
was fired when his skeptical view on AGW started becoming too well known by the mainstream media.
Oregon State climatologist, George Taylor,
was purged for questioning AGW.
GISS's James Hansen wants Oil exec's jailed for "crimes against humanity". He doesn't think they believe in global warming. Has nobody told him? They say they do believe now. Good boys. David Suzuki, as you know, thinks the jails should make room for politicians who disagree with him.
Weather Channel Mouthpiece Heidi Cullens
wanted meteorologists decertified if they speak against human caused global warming.Al Gore has a good way of stifling any possible debate. First of all he just won't debate anyone anywhere, but more trickily he has had written into his contract that when he speaks
the press can not attend.You can't blame the AGW guys for not wanting to debate though when they do
they get their asses kicked. In fact
here's a link to one brave soul complaining about how badly they get their asses kicked in debates.
A critic of AGW was
was flat out threatened by a government endorsed official as to what would happen to him if he didn't shut up.
So yeah, I get it when you speak of how it sucks when the opposition to your argument tries to censor your freedom of speech.
