Hey, Rug.. Since you can't understand what the credible Hansen sez, cuz you so lack in credibility in your own self, I'll try to make it even simpler for you. 1) OSI gives 100K to GAP... So where did the $720,000 for the "politicization of science" claim come from? Well, the non-profit GAP accepts donations from many organizations interested in protecting whistleblowers (including the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Family Fund). One group that recently donated was the Open Society Institute (OSI), a part of the Soros Foundation, which donated $100,000 total to GAP for the purpose of protecting whistleblowers in science and engineering. IBD picked the $720,000 figure because that was OSI's total budget for combating the politicization of science. It seems like IBD just picked the biggest figure they could find in their cursory glance at all the budgets that could have possibly been involved.http://lots-o-thoughts.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-meme-hansen-paid-by-soros.html 2) Government Accountability Project, "the nation's leading whistleblower protection organization", gives legal advice for Hansen, and a detailed report. Message 23925667 3) Feeble-brain you sees 100K and thinks 720K. 3) So "Mention" can mean lots of things. I just mentioned Hansen, too. Gore mentioned Hansen in the movie. If he gets the Nobelly Prize, he might well mention Hansen in a few interviews. 4) Try again. Maybe the message next time, not the messenger. Cuz lies ain't gonna work, and you ain't gonna get away with them. Diogenes da Rat @IfUNeed2LieLikeARugUHaveAWeakCase.com
