Exxon-Backed Pundit Compares Gore To Nazi Propagandist

 

Sterling Burnett is a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis, an organization that has received over $390,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998. This afternoon on Fox, Burnett compared watching Al Gore?s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, to watching a movie by Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels to learn about Nazi Germany. Watch it:

 

ExxonMobil doesn?t have a substantive answer to Gore?s movie, so it bankrolls people like Burnett to smear Gore personally.

 

Dutifully, Burnett recently wrote an editorial defending former Exxon CEO Lee Raymond?s lavish compensation (which amounted to $190,000 a day in 2005). He failed to mention his financial connection to the company.

That?s the problem. If I thought Al Gore?s movie was as you like to say, fair and balanced, I?d say, everyone should go see it. But why go see propaganda? You don?t go see Joseph Goebbels? films to see the truth about Nazi Germany. You don?t go see Al Gore?s films to see the truth about global warming.

We're all super psyched with him, even if we don't know it.

Im really tired of people comparing modern day politicians to Hitler and Nazis. Its been over 60 years since then and I think people arent understanding the severity of the situation that was in the late 30's and early 40's.
