Poor James. He can’t handle the TRUTH@! OK, that’s played out, but you know what I mean.
C&Ler Joe emailed this clip last night and it is pretty funny. Republican Senator and serial Global Warming denier—James Inhofe said that the mild mannered Anderson Cooper was calling him names and threatening him. Oh, my!
InHofe: I’ve been personally attacked by Anderson Cooper. It’s taking place right now, even this week, calling me every kind of name—all kinds of threats. This is what you, you people say “why don’t more members of the House and Senate tell the truth about climate change?” This is the reason. This is what we’re subjected to. I have got a big family at home that has to watch all this.
Please, please, please tell the truth about Global Warming for once in your life, Senator.
COOPER: That was Senator James Inhofe. For the record, I never called the Senator any names at all or ever made any threats toward him. The idea that I would make threats toward him is simply bizarre. I, frankly, have no idea what he’s talking about.
We did feature the senator and his position on climate change in our documentary. He thinks it’s a hoax, but he declined to talk to us then. And he declined to talk to us for this program.
I don’t think he has any idea what he said either. Remember this “bizarre” exchange between Inhofe and Barbara Boxer during Al Gore’s testimony?

No Trackbacks To “Sen. James Inhofe makes “Bizarre” allegations about Anderson Cooper“
Climate change leads to cerebelllar change.
The poor victim
What a whiny sack of toxic filth Inhofe is.
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.
when are people going to figure out that these repuglican idiots are MENTAL?
sociopathic narcissistic and deluded….they should be put away.
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
Using my diagnosing skills, which I obtained from the Bill Frist School of Medicine, I’d say that Inhofe is off his rocker.
Seriously though, Inhofe’s sanity should be checked by medical professionals. Clearly something has gone terribly wrong with the poor man.
ahh the good ole days when it looked like the dems had some fight in them. honeymoons over.
An insane asylum somewhere is missing a patient.
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.
What is it with the Republicans? Is there some form of mental illness racing through the party?
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.
Lawsuit. Take this garbage to court.
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.
What is it with the Republicans? Is there some form of mental illness racing through the party?
It’s all part of the soft bigotry of low expectations.
his children know he is an industry shill and an asshole and it’s upsetting him?

Boo hoo blubber blubber.
Sen. James ‘Is an Oaf’. As that’s what he is each time he opens his mouth and utters crazy things like this.
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!!!
breakspear @ 19:
It’s all about distracting and confusing the masses while they pick your pocket.
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 seems to be drinking Bill O’Reilly’s Kool-Aid.
“Wah! They’re calling me names and making stuff up about me all the time!”
Inhofe is an embarrassment to the state of Oklahoma. This guy is an idiot and rightwing nut!
Sen. Inhofe is up for reelection next fall. Contribute to Senator Inhofe’s challenger here, he needs all the help we can give him.
Just our luck this asshole has a large family , all I can say is HEY YOU , OUT OF THE GENE POOL !!
What’s wrong with Oklahoma. Any way to have a reverse land rush to give it back to the native Americans?
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).
He also claims that his large family is a “Queer Free Zone!”
Wonder what the odds are,that it isn’t totally “Queer Free?”

You sure you’re in the right thread?
Must be a factory somewhere
Keeps on cranking them out
Seems like they travel in pairs
Not worth the trouble but to full of clout
Somebody must play his game
They get stuck in the here and now
We’ll he don’t do nothing halfway
Complete the equation he needs justification
To keep on cranking it out
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.

Why take land, when they can take money?
Actually, that’s going on now… it’s called Indian Casinos. Taking the money from the white man!
Matt @ 28:
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.
Translation:
“The amount of truth about climate change you receive will be proportionate to the amount of pressure, multiplied by the length of time, your lips are applied to my backside.”
Right out of the Conservative Handbook.
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!!!
trolls = inhofe.
Oh Anderson… *lustful sigh* I believe you.
Well said Linda.
I’m curious what these so-called “threats” are and if the Senator has any video clips he would like to share.
Matt @ 28:
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.
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. Stop blinding yourself to the evidence. Stop ignoring the evidence. Start to LOOK at the evidence.
The Sun.
Mars.
Antarctic Ice sheet thickest its ever been
Ice under Greenland thickest its ever been.
Heat causes CO2, not the other way around.
When will people get theoir heads out of their own asses and look at the truth?
It is getting so incredibly boring to have to listen to the same drivel spewed out so many times about denier this, evil person that…yaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnnn.

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.
Dear Oklahoma voters,
Quit voting for mouth-breathers. These iron age moralists are destroying the country. Global warming denial will lead to all the white collar jobs going to other countries
There is no way this guy can be a real actual United States Senator. Its a HOAX!! He’s not for real!
Can’t you just picture Cooper and Inhofe duking it out bare-knuckled? Nope, me either.
Cooper calling him “every kind of name—all kinds of threats”? Doesn’t add up. Inhofe’s 110% detached from reality now. Gone round the bend for sure.
Must be a case of mistaken reality–you know, like global warming.
Arizona @ 41:
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.
Shadowgm @ 40:
Indeed.
Hmm. Another sock puppet berating the C&L crowd for their horrible, impolite, unproductive name calling. Seems to be the trend this week.
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?
Greg @ 46:
Yes troll, it is. The post says it right there “global warming denier”
Learn how to read.
Arizona @ 41:
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.
