Think of it as a poll crash...

A new blogger out there stepped on the third rail. He's a senior law student, blogging about social justice, progressive politics, etc., and he found out that David Kirby, the Minister of Propaganda for the mercury militia, is coming to speak at his school.

This nascent lawyer had the temerity to call him out, and ZOMG! Kirby took the bait and brought his addled-minded friends.

There seem to be a whole lot of folks over there in need of some larnin'. I s'pose it couldn't hurt to see what's getting Kirby all hot and bothered.

...and it's easy to see why the right is so up in arms over Obama's plan to start off the new school year by talking to students. I've just finished reading the text of the speech, and it's just totally jam packed with anti-Republican ideological concepts. Here are some of the highlights: I…
This past weekend, Kate went to Arisia, and in order to get a change of scenery and a bit of adult backup, I took the kids up to visit friends in northern Vermont. They have two boys, the younger of whom is just a few months older than SteelyKid, and I was pretty sure the kids would hit it off. I…

Depending on your blog reading habits, you may already have heard the news that feels almost like cosmic justice that a law firm has rescinded an offer of employment from a third year law student whose online activities the firm found troubling.

Denialism Blog - amatures at best.

I think it means you're all childish.

Awww, don't cry at the mean and nasty man. he doesn't mean it. Yes, we do love you. Come over here and have a hug.

Is it just me, or do many of the Anti-Vax denialists seem just one step below the timecube guy?

Well you did push all of your "addled-minded friends" from this blog to the argument as well, making you no better then Kirby in that respect.

Chuck:

There's nothing wrong about encouraging other people to swamp a blog, regardless of which side you're rooting for. The only way to be "no better" than Kirby would be to ignore the science and rely on biased studies and anecdotal evidence.

What medical science aids ASD individuals that doesn't cause weight gain and increse the risks of Type II diabetes?

I'm confused by the connection between anti-vax and chelation advocates. Since chelation is done all the time and vaccination is only done once or so then surely if the TOXINS were from there, the chelation would only be needed once.
In other words, surely the need for constant chelation shows that it isn't the vaccines at all. Or is this not a problem in fantasy land?
