Health Care BS

Warmists often provide genuine entertainment. They recently provided some comic relief when, demonstrating a sense of timing as perverse as their interpretation of scientific data, a group of warm-mongers was giving health policy advice. And Al Gore is always good for a laugh.

But some of the things they do and say are not funny. One of these involves the way warmists use the word “denier.” When they use it to describe people who dare think for themselves, they deliberately insinuate that dissenters are morally equivalent to Holocaust deniers.

Andrew Sullivan, true to form, has been trying to have it both ways by using “denialist.” This craven ploy allows him to compare dissenters to creeps like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad while ostensibly avoiding the Holocaust analogy. One of his readers takes him to task for it:

I would abandon the word ‘denialist’.  It is too close to ‘deniers’ … Saying that questioning AGW … is akin to those who denied the camps goes beyond innocent provocations …

It does indeed. The use of “denier” or “denialist” suggests that people who refuse to accept the ”scientific consensus” on climate change are morally inferior to those paragons who parrot the party line. Even worse, it deliberately trivializes the Holocaust.
