Bryan Fischer has absolutely NO idea what science actually is...

Hey Bryan, since you're dumping all over the Geocentrists, what about the idiots who still believe the universe is only 6,000 years old?

Fischer: Climate Science Like Believing Sun Revolves Around The Earth

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Wednesday, 2/18/2015 4:04 pm

On his radio program today, Bryan Fischer coined a new phrase — "Harfed up a hairball" — inspired by State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf, who has spent the last two days trying to tamp down a right-wing freakout over her assertion that the world cannot simply "kill our way out of this war" with ISIS. As Fischer explained it, this phrase was now going to become his stock description for when "you say something that is patently absurd." Of course, since Fischer is absurdly lacking in any self-awareness, he then proceeded to harf up a hairball of his own just a few segments later in his program when he likened a Saudi cleric who rejects the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun to liberals who believe in climate change. "Liberals are absolutely anti-science when it comes climatology and global warming," Fischer said. "This is trait that they share in common with Islam. Our leaders on the left are almost as unscientific, almost as anti-science as the leaders of the movement of Islam":

Getting fired from one of the most regressive outfits in the country should have given the man a clue, but I suppose his Teflon is lined with reinforced concrete and reality never penetrates even if it adheres.

Where he is still free to spew his sewage.

In other words, nobody got fired.

and I'll bet his contract won't be renewed for that radio show.

He's become an embarrassment and thou shalt not embarrass the shameless.

Have you listened to, or read, anything they have said? For years?

The stuff Fischer spouts is raw meat for their audience. They gobble it up, and then vote GOP, just as they are told. That's why the fake firing, and why Fischer is still spewing.

I will gladly do a mea culpa if I am wrong. But these folks never admit that they are wrong. And if Fischer goes, he will be replaced by another, with only a different face. The message will be the same.

And these are the people who have control of the GOP.
