What Bill Maher’s refers to as Zombie Lies are those lies that are the biggest, boldest most obvious lies ever told – which always seem to come from Republicans, – usually through the conduit of Fox News and talk radio where lies are not questioned. Much as will be the case in the upcoming GOP primary debates moderated by the unfair and unbalanced.
“When I was in college, all the literature at that time from the scientific community said that we ere all going to freeze to death.” Mike Huckabee on ONE article in ONE issue of NEWSWEEK that said several what scientist believe. And even if it were “all literature of the time”, science, unlike religion, finds things change.
In this specific case the ZOMBIE lie is one article in Newsweek from 1975 by one scientist who explained that several others were worried about cooling. ONE ARTICLE IN ONE WEEKLY MAGAZINE as opposed to what we now have as 14,000 scientific articles verifying global warming versus two (2) that claim it is not true. Which because of that .002% dissent all Republican candidates now claim they can say the issue is still up in the air and undecided. Reminds me of the time apples rose from that tree Issac’s was sitting under because his pal Francis threw two apples back up in the tree where they got stuck on a branch and didn’t come down until the following Thursday. So there you have the theory of gravity debunked.
There are two reasons for the big bold Republican lies on this. Oil and gas company bribery and warm God farts in control of our atmosphere.
The bribery in our politics is so profoundly undemocratic and wrong, that it’s about time someone flew a gyrocopter to the Capital lawn to make the point. And be given a metal and a parade. But wait, did he shoot and kill 264 people from half mile away? Nope, so it’s 4 years in jail for you pal. Only mass killers need apply for hero benefits in America. Land of Guns.
