Reporter of Bill Nye, Moonbat Story Speaks

When Tim Woods attended a lecture of Bill Nye's at McClennan Community College, he could hardly have known it would become the biggest story of his career. "I’m constantly baffled by the stories that get the most hits," Woods says in a telephone conversation. You can do a story that's immensely important, and a story about a lost cat takes off.

...................

"There was some mischaracterization of what happened," Woods says. It seemed like the story was always construed in such a way to make his hometown look like backwoods idiots. "The one that always floors me is they say, oh, he was booed. No, he wasn’t booed. I've gone back through the story, and nowhere does it say he was booed."

.................

"That’s something else that gets misconstrued," Woods says, of the woman in the story with three kids. "The woman never shouted. She didn’t even direct it at Bill Nye." She was sitting next to him, he says, and when she got up, she turned and said to him, "We believe in God."

A few people got ticked and walked out, but no booing, and not quite what it was made out to be.

1. The fact that a scientific fact, like the moon reflects the light of the sun, offended people

in the point of the story, though. The point is not whether they booed or not, or shouted or not. And walking out is a much stronger statement than booing or shouting anyway.

2. I agree...

I still think it's a story, just not what some people made it out to be.

3. For me, whether she shouted "We believe in God," or said it quietly in a whisper, the point is that

somehow one can not hold spiritual beliefs and accept basic scientific fact, as if one automatically cancels the other. That statement alone shows just how batshit crazy some people are.
