Not one of those links refers, in any way, to the statements I made. Nice red herring.
Did you miss the part where I agreed that I don't think the majority of republicans are anti-science, etc. (evidence suggests you did)? We agree there. Where we apparently disagree is how the extremely vocal minority is treated by the rest of the party. To me, the silence by other members of the party when dealing with these 'nut jobs' is perceived as 'approval' for their actions, words, etc.. Putting someone who is ignorant of even basic scientific principals on a congressional science committee only helps to further that perception. Did you miss the part where I admitted that, to some degree, the same thing happens in the Democratic party (evidence suggest you did)?
