Must be seen to be believed. So much harder to pull the word salad trick on twitter, but ArgleBargle gives it a whirl after being unable to name a single climate model she objects to. Yet she's ever so upset (she's making another obfuscating tweet every minute) over his criticizing her for out-sourcing her opinions on global warming. <br /><br />See @asymmetricinfo for a laugh. She's really annoyed. You can tell by all the misplaced condescension.keatssycamorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462428865585400919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-26112792525664088642012-03-12T07:59:26.028-05:002012-03-12T07:59:26.028-05:00And now, much like the old one, he is gone, at lea...And now, much like the old one, he is gone, at least for a while.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-21067322220850262902012-03-12T07:56:53.238-05:002012-03-12T07:56:53.238-05:00Moe Nawaz is the next senior editor for Economics ...Moe Nawaz is the next senior editor for Economics at the Atlantic.fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522672049371678717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-18346102944679202712012-03-12T06:45:09.909-05:002012-03-12T06:45:09.909-05:00is it time yet to find a way to give Moe Nawaz the...is it time yet to find a way to give Moe Nawaz the old boot in the neck?<br /><br />-cynicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-2045905116218939602012-03-11T18:03:28.332-05:002012-03-11T18:03:28.332-05:00By drawing attention to his horrible statements th...By drawing attention to his horrible statements this time people are noticing that Rush never even listened to her testimony, that he slandered her based on <i>nothing</i>.

...Aimai said:<br /><br />I think its several things combined.<br />1) Critical mass of angry women from the attacks on Ellen Degeneres (which were also intergenerational and religious as well as other things), planned parenthood/Komen, the virginia ultrasound bill and then the sight of the all male congressional testimony and resurgence of memories of the pillorying of Anita Hill (for women of the age to be Susan Fluke's mother).<br /><br />2) The fact that the insults jumped out of the limited pool of people who follow Rush (his listeners) and his detractors (his stalkers/media matters.)<br />Rush has gotten in trouble before, often deliberately in order to boost his sagging spirits and ratings. This time there was a backlash because, in some sense, a whole lot of people were primed for another example of this kind of hate talk. Rush jus tpersonified what was amorphous, before: because he's one known public figure. <br /><br />I think it had been hard to successfully attack a bland and anonymous group like the "Bishops" or "those guys who testified before congress"--the very number of these guys made them a moving target. <br /><br />Rush is a very big target. His very name recognition and fame makes him a lightning rod in a way that the lesser school of sprats and the actually dangerous demagogues in suits in congress can never be. You can't even remember the names and locations of all the assholes in congress and in the state legislatures that you hate for what they are doing to women. But its easy to coalesce the anger around a singular figure like Rush.<br /><br />aimaiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
