A fatuous post by the anonymous blogger “Allahpundit” full of debunked right wing tropes (Climategate? he must be kidding) leads to a deluge of stunningly ignorant, hateful comments directed toward Mitt Romney for stating that he accepts the science of climate change: Romney: Sure, I believe in man-made global warming « Hot Air.

Toast.

I will not vote for him in the primary. It’s that simple. I will not vote for someone who believe in the greatest lie ever told.

This will even make me reluctant to vote for him in the general should he be the nominee. At least Pawlenty seems sincere in his redirection.

What a absolute moron. Does he have paid advisors, or does he come up with this stuff all by himself?

The earth is always in either a warming trend, or a cooling trend. It is never stable.

Romney apparently hasn’t taken the time to do any research of his own.

TOAST

The human contribution of CO2 amounts to about 15 ppm. The rest is nature.

Don’t give the green Marxists legitimacy by even thinking they have any case at all.

Maybe Romney can invite Weiner over for a ROAST.

They both need a friend right now.

Three words: Medieval Warming Period.

The Earth has been warmer than this for nearly all of the past 10,000 years.

This is the 9100st-ish hottest year on record, in fact. (Last year)

A huge and marked warming trend would be nothing but a reversion to the historic mean, if even that.

So no, AGW is bunkum, and Romney is capitulating to the left.

There are no ‘market solutions’ to a mass hallucination and/or socialist fraud. Buh bye Mitt.

I’ll never forget shaking my head and saying “WTF!” when the GOP convention was cheering McCain while he was blabbering on about global warming during his acceptance speech. Yikes. A sense of loyalty is a nice thing-up to a point.

I will vote for a ham sandwich before I will vote for Obama. However, in the Republican primaries, I will vote for the same ham sandwich before I vote for Mittens.

I wonder if Mittsy will be able to “Hide The Decline” after his latest RINOesque PR disaster?

Okay I get that he has the reputation of being a flip flopper, of choosing the politically expedient position to take on issues, that he modifies his positions based on where and against whom he’s running but he should have just avoided this topic or said he was wrong so as not to go against most of the Republicans and all the conservatives…What a maroon this guy is.. and he needs a better fitting pair of jeans…

Pawlenty n Palin and even Romney’s positions in 2008 can be forgiven because then global warming was close to gospel truth. Now that it has been established as a hoax adn scientific fraud, there’s no reason to still cling to it. It’s a credit that both Pawlenty n Palin took that opening and adjusted their positions accordingly.

If Romney had any smarts, he’d have mentioned the hockey stick graph and taken umbrage under it and brought himself into mainstream of the republican party. As it now stands, he’s making himself a joke rather fast.

The deluge of ignorance goes on and on and on. These comments are just from the top of the first page.

The Republican Party’s base has been completely brainwashed into denying any science that doesn’t make money for big corporations.

And by the way, Romney also accepts that evolution is a scientific fact. Man, is he ever doomed.
