I’m trying to have a rational conversation with some right-wing conservatives on Facebook tonight about “climategate”… I’m sure you can all guess how it’s going.

These people are absolutely convinced that there’s a massive coverup underway, and they’re throwing the full weight of their trust on a group of criminal hackers and thugs because it props up their political agenda.

Trying to point out to the blinkered idiots who are applauding the criminal actions of these lawbreakers that the illegal behavior of said lawbreakers completely invalidates their credibility as truthbearers, is an absolute waste of time.

I’ve decided to give it up, and come back to the land of the sane for my evening conversation.
