Obama’s science czar is a wackjob. So sue me.

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 24, 2009 10:12 PM

Last month, I reported on how the Obama science czar’s office stonewalled my questions about John Holdren and his warm relationship with intellectual mentor and colleague Harrison Brown, a leading eugenics enthusiast who referred to the world population as a “pulsating mass of maggots.”

Investigative blogger Zombie provided an in-depth look at Holdren and Brown two weeks ago. (Full Holdren archives here.)

A deafening silence about Holdren’s radical ideology continues to grip the MSM. But the pressure from blogs and Fox News is getting under the science czar’s skin. And the left-wing Huffington Post has stepped up to try and stifle critics — by accusing them of a “defamation campaign.” When you can’t win arguments with dissenters, redefine their criticism as defamatory hate:

Conservative media outlets are waging an online defamation campaign against Presidential Science Advisor Jon Holdren, using out-of-context quotes and misinformation to portray him as hell-bent on pursuing population control through the use of forced abortions and mass sterilization.

Fox News reported that Holdren was bent on adopting a “planetary regime” of population control, while blogger Michelle Malkin called him a “wackjob” who entertains policies that would mandate “forced abortions, mass sterilizations, and poisoning the water supply to control the population.”

I called him a wackjob because he is a wackjob, and HuffPo’s best efforts to spin his work — which people can read for themselves — can’t mask the truth.

HuffPo’s newest alibi for Holdren?

“Holdren’s work was also a product of its time.”

Bull. The ghost of Margaret Sanger is not an abandoned artifact, but an animating spirit that thrives on the Left under the guise of “choice” and green values funded by deep-pocketed social engineers like the Rockefellers and Ted Turner.

The mainstream apathy over this population control enthusiast masquerading as a climate change do-gooder is a product of our time.

If this is “defamation,” go ahead and sue.

Go ahead.

    lgm…do you comprehend what “out of context” even means? You are a perfect example of what I was talking about earlier…a result of a flawed gene pool probably brought on by the abuse of drugs by your mommma. Yes, your momma.

    In his mind, it means “accurate, but embarrassing to to Dear Leader.”

    Before the election, I had a young man trying to figure out who to vote for. I told him to ignore everything being said and focus on what each candidate supported, said, wrote, or voted for until they were within 3-6 months of when they started running.

    Their past was the window to who they are. If you look at Obama’s past up through his first year in the Senate nothing about what he has done or proposed is a suprise. He has been a radical Marxist for all of his adult life. He has no original thoughts, has limited writing ability, and prefers to associate with like minded Marxists. You can set your watch by him.

    I think Lincoln would have liked Reverend Wright. For one thing, the “G-d d-mn America” is straight out of the second inaugural address — the one carved in stone in the Lincoln Memorial. For another, Lincoln loved “animated” preachers:

    When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.

    LGM:

    IIRC, Lincoln opined that god might be punishing the US with the Civil War because of slavery. However, that is a far cry from the radical kind of victimization professed by professional race warriors. Even Obama realizes this and purposely tried to distance himself from Wrights’ church during the election. Now, I for one, don’t think Obama is a very religious person. I also think he probably realized that if he were to make his way in the world of Chicago politics he had to pay his dues at the local back church.

    Bottom line, I think you are reaching here.

    I am waiting for the first black leader at any level to go to Gettysburg, Manassas, Vicksburg, etc. etc. etc. stand in front of the Union dead, both black and white,who gave the last full measure of devotion and simply say “Thank You.”

    His ability to say G-D America was paid for by those men.

    *Holdren is a whackjob, for sure; P-BO has surrounded himself with people as such his whole life, and now with his assembled Clown Cluster in the White House; Nobody that was paying attention last year should be at all surprised; I’m certainly not; All though it is all quite revolting, the real revolt is just beginning!

    LGM has not ever, nor plans to visit any Memorial in this country dedicated to war veterans and others who have fought and died in the cause of freedom. Like Obeezlebub, these memorials are crypotonite to extreme left wingers. He/she has OD’d on so much Obama Kool-Aid that he/she is incapable of coherent thought. Is now and continues to be the ultimate putz!

    Seems like this bastard is a misogynist as well as a wanabe mass murderer. Likes to cut up women and poison them too. If the people who think BO was born in some stinking third world country are birthers, then BO and his pals are UNDERTAKERS (or tombstoners? YES WE CAN – CUT YOUR BABY OUT OF YOUR BELLY! Does BO have anyone working for him that isn’t a traitor, a fool, a psychopath, or a felon?

    I would try claiming that you wrote that the “Huffpo quote is entirely accurate,” but I’m afraid that you’ll tell everyone that I’m using quotes out of context to defame (or defare) you.

    This is truly getting Orwellian.

    The Vietnam war memorial is the most moving war memorial I’ve ever seen.

    You seem very sure of yourself, given that you have no information at all. That fascinates me about many conservatives (and, alas, some liberals). They can be sure about things.

    You know Obama is a socialist just as sure as you know I’ve never seen a war memorial. It’s possible that you are wrong.

    Right.

    You visited the Vietnam memorial, therefore Obama isn’t a socialists.
