Don't agree with the Left? They'll burn down your homes.

In a continuing series of examples of how the Left resorts to violence, threats, attacks on personal freedoms, and an Islamic-like intolerance for different points of view:

Writing for Forbes Magazine, climate change alarmist Steve Zwick calls for skeptics of man-made global warming to be tracked, hunted down and have their homes burned to the ground, yet another shocking illustration of how eco-fascism is rife within the environmentalist lobby.

Comparing climate change skeptics to residents in Tennessee who refused to pay a $75 fee, resulting in firemen sitting back and watching their houses burn down, Zwick rants that anyone who actively questions global warming propaganda should face the same treatment.

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

Earlier month we highlighted Professor Kari Norgaard’s call for climate skeptics to be likened to racists and ‘treated’ for having a mental disorder. In a letter to Barack Obama, Norgaard also called on the President to ignore the will of the people and suspend democracy in order to enforce draconian ecological mandates.

But that’s by no means represents the extreme edge of eco-fascist sentiment that has been expressed in recent years.

In 2010, UK government-backed global warming alarmist group 10:10 produced an infomercial in which children who refused to lower their carbon emissions were slaughtered in an orgy of blood and guts. After a massive backlash, the organization was forced to remove the video from their website and issue an apology.

The same year, ‘Gaia hypothesis’ creator James Lovelock asserted that “democracy must be put on hold” to combat global warming and that “a few people with authority” should be allowed to run the planet because people were too stupid to be allowed to steer their own destinies.

In 2006, an environmental magazine to which Al Gore and Bill Moyers had both granted interviews advocated that climate skeptics who are part of the “denial industry” be arrested and made to face Nuremberg-style war crimes trials.

ClimateDepot.com’s Mark Morano is encouraging AGW skeptics to politely inform Steve Zwick ( information@ecosystemmarketplace.com) that calling for people who express a difference of opinion to be tracked and have their houses burned down is not a rational argument for the legitimacy of man-made global warming science.

Indeed, it’s the argument of a demented idiot who’s obviously in the throws of a childish tantrum over the fact that Americans are rejecting the global government/carbon tax agenda for which man-made global warming is a front in greater numbers than ever before.

Climate alarmist calls for burning down skeptics homes.

So is this what happened to all those black churches that were bombed?

I'd quote Ted Nugent's unique brand of gun totin' populism in rebuttal but he was just a pussy Vietnam draft dodger.

This pegged my baloney-detector. Sure enough, Zwick explicitly states that he is employing a metaphor:

"I’m not advocating anyone go out and burn someone’s house down, but am simply asking what to do if a house is already on fire and the owner is culpable. Do we save his house, or the houses of his neighbors?"

Some blogs have been lying <gasp> about Zwick's article, prompting him to add this note:

"Will anyone who is coming to this post after reading about it on other blogs please read the whole thing ... If you disagree, please disagree with what I said, and not with what you imagine I said."

Think rather the Bolshevik and Cultural Revolutions. Or perhaps Palestinians selling land to Jews.......

Sure enough, Zwick explicitly states that he is employing a metaphor:

Yet liberals throughout history are prone to take metaphors like this literally (mob violence) and this is just Zwick's excuse because he really believes it ought to be done. It's not dissimilar to Obama and the media's attempt to ignite race riots. Oh, we didn't really mean to doctor the 911 call or tweet what we thought was Zimmerman's address.

If the mob ignites, it was justifiable. If the mob doesn't materialize, it's just metaphor.

CFR, and you owe me a new baloney-meter.

It's interesting that you approach politics with the same outrageous hyperbole as that with which you approach religion.

Hey BC!

Um, what's your address? No reason, just wonderin'.
