The poor victim

I loooovvveee the way he pulled the "they're hurting my FAMBLEE" in there. Nice touch. And yet all I hear is "Wahh wahh wahhh".

I suspect the tanking dollar and the rush to the ledges is what's pushing the reslugs into panic mode. They're not sure what lies to use to make it stop so they've pulled out all the stops on the 'crazy' train.

To paraphrase another comment i saw about another nutbag elsewhere in the blogosphere:

I would say that Inhofe is bat-shit crazy, but that would be an insult to guano

ahh the good ole days when it looked like the dems had some fight in them. honeymoons over.

The most bizarre claim I've heard about Anderson Cooper is that he has actually worked for the CIA previously to being anchor for CNN. That wouldn't be so outstanding or out of question if you've heard of Operation Mockingbird.

Seriously, can we get someone to declare this man unable to fulfill his duties for medical reasons? He's showing paranoid delusions now - do we have to wait until he's walking down the street muttering to himself? The man needs help and he's clearly to far gone to seek it himself.

It's the Republican and NeoCon crybaby approach. If anyone challenges your positions, whine that you are being attacked and threatened.

I guess Jim "crybaby" Inhofe's world -- a pat on the back would be considered assault.

his children know he is an industry shill and an asshole and it's upsetting him?

Boo hoo blubber blubber.

There! You see!?! He just did it again!! He just called him a name AGAIN!! He said "Inhofe"!! "Inhofe" is a name!! And that is exactly why they don't tell the truth about climate change, because they are subjected to being called names like "Inhofe". How would you like it if I called you "Inhofe", huh!?! Yeah, that's what I thought!!!

When Sen. Boxer slapped that cretin, I laughed my butt off. What a clown!

On this latest statement by Sen. "Bedwetter" Inhofe:
If his position on climate change isn't really what he wants to say, because according to him insults and harassment keep him from expressing his real opinion, then am I to understand that what he considers the truth about global warming is the opposite of his stated position?

Liar? Coward? So stupid that he accidentally tells the truth whenever his diaper is wet? No, I know what he is: a NEO-CON. Bedwetting equivocating nitwits, the lot of them.

Inhofe is an embarrassment to the state of Oklahoma. This guy is an idiot and rightwing nut!

Just our luck this asshole has a large family , all I can say is HEY YOU , OUT OF THE GENE POOL !!

I'm so happy to see that in a thread about a Senator claiming to be called names we can have such intelligent discourse as:

"whiny sack of toxic filth"

"repuglican idiots"

"nutbag"

and so on. I really thought that maybe we were above that and we could actually discuss issues like climate change, the war, etc. without feeding the Senator's claims of name-calling and insults (the point would be to support Mr. Cooper's claims of bizarre behavior from the Senator without the name-calling).

You sure you're in the right thread?

What's so sad in these stories is the fact that Americans elect people like James Inhofe to public office. The man is obviously delusional.

Our calling him what he is doesn't support his sniveling about Cooper at all. I noticed you didn't add anything to climate change conversation either, but thanks for your concern.

Inhofe is a bizarre dude. He makes completely unsubstantiated accusations, and his constituents just take him at his word, not bothering to check up on the authenticity of his comments. He's a product of Oklahoma. My apologies to all the critically thinking people who reside in Oklahoma, but apparently there aren't enough of you in that state to override this kind of bizarre leadership behavior.

When Boxer did her gavel-girl routine with him, I read that many people in Oklahoma thought she had been rude and disrespectful to him. Well, I watched that video several times, and she did nothing of the sort. She simply put him in his rightful place, and he doesn't like sitting there, so he lets loose his "she done me wrong" routine. What a wingnut! Oklahoma, do something about him!!!

Oh Anderson... *lustful sigh* I believe you.

Hmm. Another sock puppet berating the C&L crowd for their horrible, impolite, unproductive name calling. Seems to be the trend this week.

This is not John Amato's Science Forum. It's Crooks & Liars, whereupon scorn and ridicule are heaped upon said people, kind of like the internet version of putting 'em in the stocks and leaving them on view in the public square.

Matt @ 28: The descriptions used of Inhofe, at least thus far, are way, way
too civil, for in reality, he is a total, complete asshole, lacking a brain and
certainly NO knowledge of the global warming issue. But unfortunately, the
people of Okla. elected such a slim-ball and they will most likely do the same
in Nov. 08.

There is no way this guy can be a real actual United States Senator. Its a HOAX!! He's not for real!

Arizona @ 41:

Funny how some idiots keep calling those who are not brainwashed by the polemic religion that is global warming, "global warming deniers", as if to be rational about the science is to be akin to a holocaust denier. There is absolutely no FACT upon which anyone can "deny" it, for the global wamring hysteria relies on mathematical models, not reality.

This one particular gentlemen is telling all the losers and ignoramuses that the whole global warming thing is a SCAM.

No troll, this is about another Republican liar/nut making accusation about Cooper. Please try and keep up or go back to the elementary forums like Malkin or something.

No sock puppet here.

Just someone who doesn't want to give the Senator what he is asking for...

Really if he is making claims of name-calling from the other side (in this case Cooper), then why do we need to take the bait?

That's fine. But just don't try to get into my rowboat when the water covers our homes. You can spew your global climate change denials from the water, your voice growing ever-more faint as I row away.

Yes troll, it is. The post says it right there "global warming denier"

Learn how to read.

Er, one more thing. The title of the post is about his snit with Cooper. There was an additional note within the post about Sen "Bedwetter" Inhofe. But I'll admit this is picking nits at this point.

Ahh, and the US slides farther into irrelevance as it's masters slide deeper into insanity.

Rome anyone?

Here's the thing: Inhofe isn't crazy. He knows that Crooksandliars, Media Matters, etc. will call him out on this and show that his accusations are completely off the wall. And he also knows that none of the poor saps in Oklahoma who voted for him again and again will read Crooksandliars, Media Matters, etc. More, if they stumble on CNN and here Cooper's denials, they'll shrug it off as another case of a loathsome Liberal lying about a decent, honest man.

And do you think Fox is going to call him out on this? Because if Fox doesn't, the Okie Inhofe voters will never have reason (irony intended) to doubt their saintly, holy man. If Sean Hannity were to attack Inhofe (fat chance) as a liar, Inhofe would be hurt.

All of these corporate fascists understand the power of a Big Lie which is why the lie so big, so often. of course, it's possible that enough people who were fooled by Inhofe before may actually be seeking sources of information other than Fox to vote against him next time. But I'm not holding my breath.

Inhofe is a certified KOOK. He represents the GOP perfectly for what they are, a bunch of bury-your-head-in-the-sand people who pull up the PHONY cover of "being patriotic" against ANYTHING or ANYONE who disputes their cause and then spit the venom of accusing anyone who stands up to them as being anti-American. They are so Nazi like as to be truly frightening.

Methinks that these Oklahomans have seen the musical "Oklahoma" a few too many times... Or maybe it's too many rides in "The Surrey with the Fringe On Top."

Sorry, Inhofe isn't telling us global warming is a hoax, he's telling us the Big Sky Daddy will fix our boo-boo.

I can only guess that you're asserting Mars has an atmosphere with significant amounts of CO2, but it's cold. But Mars is also further from the Sun than we are, and it has no liquid water - even the ice caps are not actual water.

Not sure where you're getting this junk about Antarctica when the Larsen B ice shelf basically disintegrated - and we're not talking a couple of inches, we're talking hundreds of feet thick, stretching for miles. Same with Greenland - we're seeing more of the ground, not more ice.

Heat causes CO2? Say what? Not once in any science or physics class I took was it ever established that heat causes CO2. On the other hand, I recall plenty of classes affirming that elevated levels of CO2 increase heat retention in the atmosphere.

And, just like the knobheads who decry evolution as 'just a theory,' mathematical models are used on a regular basis in our daily lives. They influence the stock market, how much power is available on the grid ... and the design of aircraft are also derived from mathematical models.

"It's just a mathematical model, not reality," is hardly a compelling argument.

Anderson Cooper threatened the Senator? Ha! The guy just looks so docile. Global warming deniers have a brain malfunction anyway, perhaps he concocted some fantasy discussion in his mind between he and Cooper at some point.

Now, now Senator, calm down, perhaps a glass of ice water will cool you down. We know you are upset because all of Oklahoma's Armadillos are travelling north into Missouri and Kansas, along with Roadrunners, and drought seems to be a re-occuring problem, and you are paid to be a shill for the Energy industry, but in all sincerity you are just a footnote in history. You are mearely an example of why we need term limits to keep doddering fools from holding onto power.

Is Inhofe's big family as fucking stupid as he is?

I trust everyone recalls how Inhofe went off awhiel back about how there were no homosexuals in hisfamily, nosiree. Not a single one.

Obviously he's got the hots for Anderson Cooper.

Edit: Oh, and also gay as a 3 Dollar bill.

Stupid is as stupid does.

The voters of OK are the culprits here. Over and over again.

It's time to disown that state and the voters there. They are part of the problem and refuse to be part of the solution. There is a good reason it's a Southern state.

What time is it? I think I heard the clock...

Koo-Koo! Koo-Koo!

Mmmm-MM!

Only thing I could find said about Inhofe in the "Planet in Peril" documentary:

ANDERSON COOPER: James Inhofe, Republican senator from Oklahoma, is the loudest voice, with probably the biggest platform, who questions whether man is responsible for climate change. His position has led to some intense political theater.

And later from the same segment:

INHOFE: This whole idea of global warming is something that has been brought up by certain groups who have a lot to benefit from it, and has nothing to do with real science.

COOPER: Nothing to do with science and everything to do with money. Support human-caused climate change, Inhofe's thinking goes, and you get more funding. But Inhofe's critics question his funding. The second biggest contributors to Inhofe's Senate office are energy and natural resource companies. We wanted to talk to Senator Inhofe about those contributions and his position on climate change. But after agreeing to an interview with us, he canceled.

Just wondering what "names" Inhofe thinks he's being called.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

According to that transcript, the only name Cooper called him was "Inhofe." Which I guess is slur enough.

Jim Inhofe's a fucking moron. I guess the country's fucking morons deserve representation in Congress. He's got a reliable constituency in Oklahoma, I can assure you. Unless he's raptured (or outed), I cannot foresee him losing his seat. I believe he is reliably the creature of Koch Oil, ADM, and Phillips Petroleum.

If Jim Inhofe is going to go on and on and on...about how Anderson Cooper is threatening his life, then Anderson should just take him up on that and kill him. [snark ala Pat Robertson]

Arizona, Arizona. tisk tisk. Who told you that silly stuff?

Even the Bush adminstration states that a) Planet getting warmer. b) It is human caused.

Go to 'whitehouse.gov' and search for 'Climate Change' -- they don't call it 'global warming' in those circles.

Sorry you didn't get the memo -- you're officially a kook now.

Fortunately, you are marginalized, in your little corner -- the rest of the world reads actual science news. So, I don't need to convince you of anything but I feel sorry for you. You are NOW among a dwindling group of flat earthers.

I heard a good interview with the guy that THEY (Bush admin) sent to talk to the UN. The US is actually not arguing the point anymore. They are arguing about who pays where the big deniers are now China and the Arabs.

Let me ask this: What other broadly accepted (by scientist the world over) do you or anyone (anyone not a kook!), disregard like this? Think about it. Why this one? You probably know that smoking causes cancer, right? A virus causes AIDS.

I can send you to web sites that deny that. The ones you are seeing that silly stuff on are fronts for oil companies, China, and OPEC. THAT you can research -- you will not be disappointed in the clear links to oil company money.

No wait! :-) Sorry I can't help it.

Whaaaaaa Haaaa haaa. You are a f***KING dumb ass. And I mean that in the nicest way. OMG.

It musta been great to be Barbara Boxer for that moment in time!!!!! I bet she gets a little smile on her face whenever she thinks of it. I do.

Shame on Anderson Cooper for not admitting that he attacked Inhofe.

If Anderson Cooper was a man he would apologize to the Senator.

How can America continue to win the war in Iraq when journalists such as Anderson Cooper are attacking America's Senators?

I have no teeth. I have a sixth grade education from a religious charter school. I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Fox News and Jerry Springer all day. I represent the majority of Americans.

Cooper should be more specific about Inhoff's beliefs. Inhoff SAYS he believes global warming is a hoax, but I think he's being paid a lot of money by Big Oil to lie about global warming. Inhoff, like every other Republican in the House and Senate, belongs in prison for betraying the American people for money and power.

Dementia is a terrible thing..........

Falsehood is the modus operandi of the American right. Truth in any form is an incitement of all they stand for and is thus their most deadly enemy.

I'd like to stick up for my state and say we're really all not complete idiots, but then I remembered our other senator is Tom Coburn. Is there any other state in the nation that has such a sorry pair representing them? I pretty much gave up any hope for my neighbors to elect anyone sane to Congress after '04. It's too bad too, because we occasionally have pretty good people challenge our miserable incumbents...
