Yes, This Guy Was Almost Elected To The U.S. Senate From Virginia

Ranting and raving in this video is none other than Oliver North, the convicted felon who was only stopped from being elected U.S. Senator from Virginia in 1994 thanks to John Warner's endorsement of independent Republican Marshall Coleman. Even so, North received 43% of the vote, losing by 3 points to Chuck Robb. Thank you, John Warner, for saving us from this frothing-at-the-mouth homophobe.

Thank You John Warner...

......for stopping this guy!

Oliver North is using climate change denialism to fundraise for his non-profit group Freedom Alliance. In a six-page stream-of-consciousness fundraising letter, North warns of the "liberty killing 'Cap and Trade' boondoggle" that socialists are plotting in response to the "phony climate 'crisis.'" The solution? Write him a check.

[...]

Nevertheless, in his letter and a petition sent to supporters, North mashes together all manner of wacky climate change denier talking points. The basic premise is that Barack Obama, Democrats in Congress, and climate scientists are socialists hell-bent on using a faked climate crisis to control the masses. North argues that "there is no proof of man-made global warming," that "the world has actually been cooling for the last ten years," and that "there is no evidence that greenhouse gases have anything to do with global warming in the first place." Plus, he points out: "If man is solely responsible for the warming of the earth, how did the ice age ever end without the help of automobiles and coal burning factories?"

Right, he's "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!" Anyway, thank you to John Warner for supporting Republican Attorney General (turned independent candidate) Marshall Coleman against North and saving us from this lunatic (not to mention felon) in the U.S. Senate!
