Yes.
For example, when scientists estimated the range of oil spilled at Macanhdo. and Obama cited the lowest figure at THE estimate, scientists weren't allowed to speak to the press and correct that lie. Similarly, when dispersant was being used on the spill, scientists weren't allowed to correct Obama's statements that it was non-toxic and harmless to the environment.
Other scientists when coming up with global warming estimates that are alarming in the course of their work aren't allowed to publicize them.
Scientists when coming up with polar bear death rates due to global warming have not only been forbidden to publish and discuss their work but have been fired on pretexts later AG's have found to be abuse of power and worthy of prosecution in and of themselves.
Yes, scientists who are trying to raise an alarm are being silenced.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

The simple statement -' Science can be & often is politicized ' - will be embraced or rejected as determined by who is saying it.

Ponder this reality: Charlie Manson just got married, and the raptard can't even get a date. Says a lot about how fucked up he is, doesn't it?
I think it's natural selection (uh-oh, I bet he'll think that's an occult term or some bullshit) doing our species a favor.

Storybook - you're projecting your own inadequacies onto others again.
Ya might want to see to that.

Funny thing, something like that DID happen, I seem to remember. 'Course, BUSH did THAT, so that's OK.

NOBC - go back and read the progression of the thread. Yeah, I saw you use that description and figured it applied here as well. So what ? Stop being such a ninny.
Be flattered I bothered to even READ your posts and that I thought enough to remember what you said.
Sheesh.

But that didn't happen. He got fired for NOT teaching science, and pushing the idiotic politically-entrenched, science-free bullshit you continue to excrete.

True, but there's no discrimination going on.

Aw, you're adorable. Dumb as a fucking stump, but amusing in your desperation.
But please, keep insisting that recognizing reality is "bigotry." That way, we never run out of comedy.

Sure they do - that completely ignoring you thing - it's on purpose.
