In the wake of Pat Robertson’s nutty comments on Haiti, Greg helpfully posted the reverend’s video appearance with Al Sharpton in support of Al Gore’s We Can Solve It website and the broader global-warming agenda. Team Gore appears to be shying from the association — see their blank page here — a result brought about by nothing Sharpton did or said; talk about strange standards and a sign you’ve overstepped the bounds. You’d think the guy that invented the Internet would know that taking down a link doesn’t make things go away.

Reverend Robertson’s most recent moonbattery reminded me of a passage from Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed, in the context of Gore et al. pointing to other Rev. Robertson rantings — not that dissimilar from last week’s — as proof that their fear-mongering was well-grounded:

As August 2006 petered out and the hurricane season plodded along without helpful storms to shriek about, green pressure groups issued daily press releases commemorating the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with the ultimate low in the debating dodge of an appeal to authority, by listing politicians and pastors who accept alarmism. “How crazy can I be? Pat Robertson believes me!”
