Woody’s hot air

If the facts don’t support your preconceived notions, argue personalities. That would seem to be Woody’s motto as he stumbles through another post about Al Gore’s movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth’.

Woody opens with one of his typically empty claims:

When I read the Associated Press article titled "Scientists OK Gore’s Movie for Accuracy", I went to see the substance of that claim and realized that it was more leftist fluff than fact.

What exactly in the article was non-factual? Woody can’t say. We are apparently supposed to accept his assessment of the article without one single shred of upporting evidence. This is Woody’s famous because-I-say-so! tactic, and it’s just as feeble here as it’s always been.

Next, the expected ad hominem attack:

The AP article quotes Robert Correll, the chairman of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment group. It appears from the article that Correll has a personal relationship with Gore, having viewed the film at a private screening at the invitation of the former Vice President. Maybe he got free popcorn along with some grants, too.

What did Correll say that was wrong or untrue? Woody cannot say. What evidence is there that Correll’s opinion is affected by the alleged “personal relationship with Gore”? Woody cannot say.

If Woody doesn’t have the facts, he’ll smear. Every single time.
