It’s safe to say CNN anchor Bill Weir is not a fan of climate change deniers.

On Thursday, the Twitter account for Fox Nation, a blog run by Fox News, tweeted a link to a post headlined, “Climate Doesn’t Cooperate With Al Gore’s Group’s Visit to Denver EPA Hearings.”

The story, aggregated from the Washington Times, relates to a Denver visit by former Vice President Al Gore‘s “Climate Reality Project” for EPA hearings on power plant emissions.

The group showed up to hand out ice cream even though it was 58 degrees.

Weir retweeted the link, with his own comment: “Weather is not climate, you willfully ignorant fucksticks.”

We’ve requested comment from CNN.

He simply said what most of the left thinks. Now he's got street cred.

I'm guessing Bill knows all about F*cksticks!

But damned little about climate science!

And climate variance alone is insufficient evidence of human causation. It could very well be that fairies are to blame. Did you ever think of that, Mr. bleepstick?

Well,
 
they already tax food, clothing, water, shelter, land, tools, and anything else anyone has ever built.
 
The last hurdle the government blood suckers have is to tax air itself. Now they have done that. "Why should these peasants get free air!?" the government parasites cry out and shout. And they did it. They are taxing air. Good grief. Really?
 
I cannot think of any single thing on Earth that is not taxed by the American government. What will they 'tax' next?
 
The only thing I can think of, is that they will start taxing our blood somehow.
 
How far have we come from our founding. We are now no better than all the banana republics. We have arrived.
 
Especially since our government now wants a 'banana republic' tax, to tax America for becoming a under taxed, tax haven for people who love to pay tax.
 
Before you know it, you will not be paid to work. Your paycheck or profits will go straight to the government, and they will decide how much you need/'deserve', month to month. If you think this is out of the question, then you are not paying attention.

That is the dream of the political elite, (GOPe, I'm looking at you too). They think that all wealth belongs to the government, and what you are allowed to keep is through the grace of your rulers. They don't often express it like that, but once in a while it slips out.

An interesting word, f***stick. I'd never heard that before. What is the origin of the term, I wonder?  Of course, in this case, the origin of the term is a willfully ignorant nitwit (a term I much prefer) named Bill Weir.  Maybe we should call idiots "Bill Weirs," just to keep things straight.

If weather is not climate how come the global warming crowd claims every weather event "proves" the earth is warming?

The term does not matter. I learned that in jail.
 
These guy would say, 'I am a cold as a mother f***er.'
Then a second later, they would say, 'I am as hot as a mother f***er!
 
They would say, 'I am as rich as a mother f***er.' Then they would say, 'I am as as poor as a mother f***er.'
 
It made me laugh.
 
It took me a minute, but I finally caught on. 'Language' to retards mean nothing. It does not matter what you say, it is all about what you mean that counts.
 
What this supposed "journalist" said, is exactly what any sixth grade drop out felon would say. I suspect that he thinks he is 'hep' and 'cool' or something like that.
 
But yeah, my experience 'on the street', as they say, is that this term means nothing in terms of actual reality. He just wanted to say 'F**k', and added some random term to the end of it. It doesn't really mean anything. But what he said is the same thing you would hear from any homeless bum talking about the cops or his last boss.
 
This is how street bums and criminals speak. And it does not matter to them if it makes any sense at all, as long as they get to say 'f**k' in it, that is all that matters to those people.

When I was in my mid-30s I attended a culinary school where many of the students were just out of high school. I had to laugh the time one of the brilliant 19-year-olds described his weekend: "F**k!  We f*****g f****d all f*****g night!"

Yessirree, just as Whitney Houston sang, I believe the children are our future ...   :silly:

It's still a mystery to me why we're not reading about them being in intensive care after suffering a whipping from a said "Bleepstick".

Now that's a good definition of the word.

F**kstick.  noun.  A stick or club, preferably of oak, used to f**k up stupid biased anchors.

My first contact with the term was the movie "The Shawshank Redemption".  The head bull referred to one of the cons with that term.  I've used it once in a while since then.  Like most profanity it's best when situation is perfect and audience is not expecting it.

I gave up vulgar words in college. Decided it was a childish thing and I wanted to be an adult. So I never really used it with others. Though I can't say it doesn't fire-up some neurons occasionally, especially driving.

Maybe it's a regional thing? I heard it first in Germany from a US grunt who I am pretty sure came from Wisconsin. He had that flat, slightly nasal accent. Bit like the Boston accent but you don't automatically want to punch them.

But yep - profanity is an art, not punctuation, and it's a nice addition to the arsenal!  :whistle:

I just took a peek at the slang dictionary and most of the definitions seem to being provided by New Yorkers.

I'm Hungarian and Italian.  Hungarians supposedly are the most talented profanity artists.  It's only words.  From what I've been taught, words can never hurt.

I dunno. You've inherited the talent and the speed, respectively (and volume from the Italian side, goes without saying) but Russian is more inventive (only language I know where you can hugely insult someone and they think it's a compliment) and Egyptians can peel paint.  :tongue2:

Yes, I agree they are just words. But, they've been chosen by nearly unanimous consent to remain in the shadows, so to speak. Socially unacceptable in mixed company. Even here at TBR we obscure the word with bleeps. I find that their use serves a purpose for both sides, the users and non-users.

I am of Lebanese descent on my father's side.  My father taught me many curses in Arabic.  Curses represented about the only Arabic he knew.  I remember one phrase my dad used fairly often: "when the snake gets old even the mouse tries to eff him."

I never heard whether the mouse used a stick or not.  It seems probable.
