“Sifting through bad rhetoric to find the truth”

I don’t usually bother with liberal left bloggers who waste their time slagging me. (Too many, for one thing.) But sometimes, one just has to make an exception.
“Lisa” of In The House And Senate didn’t think much of Alan Mutter’s post comparing the traffic SDA sent to his blog vs that sent by several major US media outlets;

The post that caused so many to link to SDA had to do with the neo-cons jumping all over a report that challenges some popular theories on climate change. It has a poorly executed, hazy pic of of a dino lying in the sand with a caption – “Not Waiting For The Asteroid.” The comments consist of the usual incestuous discourse of Flat Earthers, climate change deniers, and creationists mocking those who are foolish enough to believe the thousands of reports that challenge the one McMillan alludes to. You know, those of us who actually studied evolution, genetics, physics, climatology, and those of us who read in-depth on these issues, analyse and compare reports, and apply logic rather than the teachings of a religious text.
K. Mc’s was not a brilliant post, or a well researched piece. It simply offered a bad picture, a handful of right-wing comments making fun of people who actually understand evolution and believe in it, and a link to a report by a scientist.

Here’s the “poorly researched” post she speaks of: Not Waiting For The Asteroid. The opening of that it links to reads as follows:

News stock slide accelerates
The publicly held newspaper stocks lost another $2 billion of value in the first six months of 2007 on top of the $13.5 billion decline they suffered in the prior two years.

That’s right. She wrote two full paragraphs referencing global warming and evolution to critique a post designed to draw attention to the falling values of newspaper stocks.
Wait! It gets better. (You knew it had to).

  1. That’s some high quality analysis! This might explain the quality of Dion and Taliban Jack’s respective media efforts.
    I do love how her stereotypes let her blog without actually reading your posts. Simply awesome!

  2. 900 ft Jesus is all over The Believer blogshere, cherishing Al Gore moments, loving the IPCC and All Things Global Warming.
    With that kind of intellectual horsepower, it is no wonder she totally screwed up that feeble attempt at being a smart ass and delivering a rebuttal.
    900 ft Jesus . . aka Lisa, wouldn’t make as a Simpson . . . just too stupid.

  3. hey . . . since her blog probably gets five hits on a good day, why not have a Sunday afternoon pile-on . . . she have a GHG cheek-leak at all the attention.

  4. Kate sure does get those leftards all aflutter. It must just roast them when a woman refuses to subscribe to their mamby/pamby view of the world. I can say honestly that Kate is a bigger man than most of those pencil necked leftoid mommy’s boys who troll here.

  5. You know, I never claim to be the smartest knife in the drawer, but I try to reference my comments with a little pre-vent reading. And when I do do my homework, I try to read the relevant texts.
    I’m thinking that 900ft Lisa Jesus was trying to read an Archie comic when she “studied evolution, genetics, physics [and] climatology.”
    Either that, or she’s a 900ft liar with her 550ft-worth of pants on fire.

  6. What a hoot,I perused a few of her articles,wow,never let facts get in the way of a good rant. BTW,she doesn’t think much of Steve Janke either.Quelle surprise!

  7. What I find interesting is how out of joint the left wing press and it’s fans are these days.
    It seem that they are just not accustomed to being yelled back at. They have had decades of quiet acceptance. That is over now that there are blogs such as SDA and Network news such as Fox and they simply don’t know what to do about it. They truly have been nothing but a house of cards and the wind is blowing.
    I’ll bet Lisa Jesus has been experiencing bathroom irregularity for some time now.
    I find this menacingly entertaining.

  8. Listen to Kate gloat. Having a nationally recognized blog has helped you amass quite a liberal glee club, but that’s just numbers.
    While you certainly have quantity, I go for quality. Hedy Fry wants to personally nail me to a cross and set it on fire. Who do ya think drove Tequila Sheilla to squeeze her fat arse into the bottle? I could reduce a fag like Kinsella to a weeping emotional wreck with a couple rude jokes. Just today some anonymous, weepy pacifist Newfie dipper type threatened to reduce me to a mewling pile of green paste! No fancy blogs for me, I earn my liberal hate mail one death threat at a time with good ol’ conservative values.
    If the morons were to vote who they hated more between you and I, I would win hands down. And be proud of it too! HAR HAR HAR!
    🙂

  9. I suspect “Lisa” is in real life a soured former MSM journalist who jumped ship to a Lib cabinet minister during the short unhappy Paul Martin reign.
    The bitterness and hatred blogger “Lisa” for conservatism is palpable in her leftist scribble.
    SDA is number one in Canadian blogging for a very good reason.
    Because Kate cuts through MSM leftist bullshit!

  10. “She wrote two full paragraphs referencing global warming and evolution to critique a post designed to draw attention to the falling values of newspaper stocks.” 😀 😀
    Kate you know better than to inject truth and harsh realities into a frenzy of self indulgent Libby-dippy hubris and dyslexic issues comprehension.
    Lisa has found her calling and niche; and that includes being insensate to the asteroid approaching her jurassic world.

  11. Is “Jim” Garth Turner? Hey look at me, look at me. Stop paying attention to Kate. Look at me. I need attention. Grow up Jim.
    Nice post Kate.

  12. One other thing. What was with all the ranting about evolution, flat earth, etc? That topic gets very little attention here. If she was trying for accuracy she could rightfully say that SDA’ers are
    1. rugged individualists
    2. anti welfare-state
    3. GW skeptics
    4. meat eaters
    5. pro military/police
    6. pro self defense
    etc, etc, etc
    All sorts of character flaws(according to leftoids), so why the flat earth thing?
    Scraping the barrel for their insults. Pathetic.

  13. 1. rugged individualists
    2. anti welfare-state
    3. GW skeptics
    4. meat eaters
    5. pro military/police
    6. pro self defense
    I guess there is something wrong with me because I totally resemble that demographic.
    ‘scuse me while I crack a nice cold Canadian…*tsssst*
    Cheers Kate 🙂

  14. they threaten to undermine responsible and relatively unbiased journalism.
    theres a laugh Unbiased liberal journalism.
    How many “responsible journalists” are prolife and anti affirmative action in canada, 5,3???
    They also feed a disturbing appetite in people for quick news bites, allowing other people to do the thinking and analysis for them.
    I thought that was TV?
    one of the reasons I liked talk radio many years ago was because after listening to it the TV newscast with the 30 second bite seemed totally lame.
    the net has way more details than MSM’s i mean if suzuki says 18,000 species are dying each year no MSM will point out he doesn’t have a list of them. Well informed, bloggers will wonder why he talks with no proof.
    They have hit envy,
    Well I’ve done the last 2 but if I do the first one do I want a bunch of lefties at my blog?
    -post free porn
    -write something really offensive
    -write something really dumb

  15. Wonder if 900 ft.Jesus has heard about the ‘fart jar?’ That ought to send her spinning! What a self-important dolt.And I see by the comments at her non-blog,that people are flocking over there..gee,Kate can get more traffic with a dead gopher,(nice shot btw),than poor Lisa and all her crap combined.Beauty put-down Kate!

  16. *
    of course, after she racks up a thousand page hits just for being
    mentioned at sda…
    she’s gonna make kate a full-time project.
    *

  17. Aww Lisa —- a perfect example of a faithful MSM supporter. There are none so blind as those that will not see 🙂
    ” .. teachings of a religious text.”
    Tell me. Who plays the part and looks the part of a Kult leader the best;
    Patrick Moore, Bjorn Lomborg, Steve McIntyre
    OR
    Al Gore, David Suzuki, Maurice Strong

  18. I would bet real money that Joe Molnar at 7:10 is correct re: ‘Lisa’s’ former employment.

  19. I don’t think we should be making fun of one of our betters.
    After all, she’s trying to make sure we only have the “right” thoughts.
    Do you think she’s a CBC or CTV employee?

  20. Is Lisa actually Stephane Dion?
    I have been wondering where Greenie Dion has been lately, even his bestest buddies at CTV are reporting on him that much.
    BKG

  21. Breathtaking self-humiliation….
    Frankly, the only thing that she could possibly have done to make herself look more inept and stupid would be to…….nahhh..I got nothing…

  22. I don’t usually bother with liberal left bloggers who waste their time slagging me. (Too many, for one thing.)
    Geez, a head bigger than a 900ft Jesus.
    Yet after that screencap, it is quite justified.
    Burn more leftist bloggers, it’s great!
    Also, I thought media/political analysts were people that watched T.V, and vote…

  23. I can understand why you dont bother with a discourse in the left wing blogosphere I too read a bit of her blog and was rather unimpressed to say the least!

  24. If she believes in darwinian evolution, then she believes her brain is the result of scrapyard DNA thrown together without purpose or design. Why she would trust anything that came out of it is beyond me — it’s illogical. She claims to believe in logic and mocks creationism, but, without God, it is absurd that immaterial logic should exist or be trustworthy — the universe is cold, unfeeling, uncaring, and senseless.
    It is God who makes atheism possible.
    She should at least thank him for that!

  25. “It simply offered a bad picture, a handful of right-wing comments making fun of people who actually understand evolution and believe in it, and a link to a report by a scientist.”
    There you have it, evolution, a belief, yup, it is a religion, which is what I’ve always figured, since you’d need a lot more faith than any Christian would in order to believe the universe evolved into what we know of it today.

  26. Agreed, Richard. But worse than her misconceptions re: the origin of life are her reading skills.
    Kate, thanks for the ‘entertainment’ on a quiet Sunday.That made your trip to the ‘lefty blogoshere worth it.It was a good catch.She seems to be a typical angry lefty.

  27. Come on folks – she’s used to working from the same old script. You really can’t expect her, on her first attempt at improvisation, to say anything intelligent.
    Most be tough to sort reality into separate categories for some people.

  28. Loony Lisa’s inspiration comes from Oral, not Punk Rocker Kinsella. Pray for her.
    …-
    “Oklahoma evangelist Oral Roberts claimed in 1980 to have seen a 900 foot Jesus standing over the partially constructed “City of Faith” hospital he was building next to Oral Roberts University.”…-

  29. Game, set, and match, really: it would have helped if she’d actually bothered to read the post before she hit the autorant button on her keyboard. The smugness is a winning rhetorical strategy, too. But irony is beyond most lefties, which is why it’s so much fun to throw pies at them. I thought the dinosaur was a good touch.
    Regards,
    GDW

  30. Have you seen the comments she’s gotten over this? Even the amount is impressive (I made a minor contribution too :D). You think she wouldve assembled her forces before jumping out from your shadow and nipping at your heels, huh?

  31. Hell, I get more hits from COMMENTING at SDA than she does on a good day.
    What an uninformed idiot!
    Well done, Kate (even though, really, it was like taking an AK47 to a … spitball fight, but that’s hardly your fault)

  32. This “Lisa” walked into this little mess very nicely. What i find most ironic about her little rant is how she references “religious text” when her entire rant is quoted directly from her own religious text. She sees a picture of a dinosaur and a headline and repeats a line from her playbook including one of “their” favorites, “climate change denier”!
    OMGoodness, did she call someone a denier??? Oh, the shame!

  33. Harry Bagot, you’re from Luton?
    Harry Yes, Arthur, yeah.
    Mee Now Harry what made you first want to try and start summarizing Proust?
    Harry Well I first entered a seaside Summarizing Proust Competition when I was on holiday in Bournemouth, and my doctor encouraged me with it.
    Mee And Harry, what are your hobbies outside summarizing?
    Harry Well, strangling animals, golf and masturbating.
    Mee Well, thank you Harry Bagot.
    Harry walks off-stage. Music and applause.

  34. So if I posted something on The Atheist Conservative about how Climate Change is bunk, would she claim that I get all my teachings from religious text? Damn that fact that I’m a scientist… curse me, I must be a closeted religious zealot. I wonder if she cares to comment on the fact that there are orders of magnitude more natural causes for CO2 then humans are pumping into the atmosphere.
    Why can’t those enviro-freaks target actual pollutants, like Sulfur, Methane, Mercury, Cyanide compounds, or any of the myriad of other horrible things we don’t naturally exhale.

  35. Kate – your a disappointment. You threw a hand flick at someone well below your weight class. Your mean, your manipulative, you own a minivan, your …
    If it wasn’t for brains, looks, and a bike you wouldn’t have anything going for you.

  36. Stray thought… do you suppose Ms. 900 ft whatever (hah?) could have a professional connection with Reuters? Say as a proofreader?

  37. Like moths to the flame. 900 ft. Jesus is the light and the conservative rabble’s reaction was oh.. so.. autonomic.

  38. Well, Lisa proved my point again. The luddites on and the loonie left have the same level of inteligence as the dumbest kid in the class…. and she did it without trying.

  39. Hazy dino pics are freaky deaky spookyness. In a purely analytical in-depth sorta way. Hallelujah.
