So intolerant, they'll sack one of their own, a bonafide Left winger. Kinda like how Isis terrorists will kill fellow Muslims who don't fall in line with their narrow views.

I really think she won't get it, and certainly hasn't yet.

Despite the dictates from upon high, the matter is NOT settled. And the issue here isn't whether this guy believes in a flat earth, or thinks modern medicine is of the devil. But hey, if you thought communism was super cool, then Hollywood should have had the right to ban you from ever working in the business too, right ? No harm, no foul.

Funny, that's not how I recall the Left's view on THAT matter.

I thought it was the left who bore the brunt of the McCarthy witchhunts?

The matter is 97% settled, which is as close to consensus as you will get in the scientific community. The rest is just about creating doubt through massive media campaigns by those with a vested interest in keeping the status quo.

exactly my point. If anyone should be cognizant of blackballing folks for having different views, it SHOULD be the Left.

2 things wrong here. 1 - The " 97% " number is completely fabricated, and 2 - science is not determined by consensus.

And I agree w/ keeping the status quo, when the alternative is a solution to NOTHING, and it'll end up costing trillions of dollars needlessly,put further burdens on the poor, and making con artists and scammers ( like AlGore ) billionaires.

Change for the sake of change, and not for actually doing any good, isn't " the right thing to do ".

And btw - where are these ' massive media campaigns ' of which you speak ? You mean like NBC's Green Week, which tries to guilt folks into doing everything in their lives to combat AGW ?

Dissent and political criticism is exactly the same as scientific debate, when on one side of the debate they are fabricating, manufacturing fake evidence, and obfuscating the evidence which does not conform to the politically correct filters in use.
And since your statement accidentally "truthed" (I assume you swerved into the truth unintentionally) by pointing out that the Global Warming drones are rejecting evidence, you have supported the argument that you are trying to dispute.

McCarthyism prevented people from getting work in any industry, because of their political affiliation, not because there was a disagreement about some key point of an industry. To be more like McCarthyism, this man would have been denied a job because he voted republican, or expressed support for jihadism, or more accurately, had been accused of such things to by someone else looking to evade punitive action as per the witch hunts. You accuse 4 others and you get off scott free while they hang.

The analogy just doesn't work. Scientific communities have the right to employ people based on their expertise, and someone who is a climate change

is someone who rejects evidence.

Fixed that for you, assuming you were attempting to be accurate.

Are you trying to deny the Earth is flat? Under the Vatican's decrees, more than 97% agreed the Earth is flat (else face execution for heresy) so that should be the agreed upon science determination - after all, at the time the Vatican controlled all higher education.

Don't you understand? The same low-information voter drones who elected Obamination TWICE as well as Slick TWICE should be the exact same libtards who vote upon which facts, science, truth, math are correct.
