Japan’s radioactive fallout could have silver lining

Ann Coulter's latest punji-stake
pit for media Liberals scores big

  In response to my column last week about hormesis -- the theory that some radiation can be beneficial to humans -- liberals reacted with their usual open-minded examination of the facts.

According to Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters, MSNBC's Ed Schultz devoted an entire segment to denouncing me. He called me toxic, accused me of spreading misinformation and said I didn't care about science.

One thing Schultz did not do, however, was cite a single physicist or scientific study.  [Ann Coulter - LIBERALS: THEY BLINDED US WITH SCIENCE]

Low exposure to the Nagasaki atomic blast resulted in longer lifespans

The immense suffering that the Japanese are enduring in the aftermath of their earthquake and tsunami is now compounded by torment over radiation releases from the Fukushima nuclear plant.

While the torment is understandable, based on the reported amounts of radiation released, it is uncalled for. The evidence from Japan’s populace — inadvertent guinea pigs in the largest radiation experiment ever, in the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 — indicates that fears over radiation can be overblown.

Wouldn't you think that by now they'd learn to follow up before sounding like ... Liberals?

Still poor science. There were all sorts of other things that could have caused longer lifespans, such as a decade of calorie restricted diets during the war and aftermath.

But it is telling that the greens just yell and throw poo instead of using rational argument and the scientific method.

I'm pretty sure this would pleasantly surprise St. Ann, too:

You can't expect much from the libtards. After all, most of them bought the global warming/climate change scam, hook, line, & sinker. They'll buy anything. Just check out your local wally-world.

Many Liberals are evidently "horme-phobic"

Remember Democrats.... "All we have to hormephobiate is hermephobia itself".

BTW, slightly off-topic, but don't forget to celebrate earth hour tomorrow, 03/26/2011. @ 8:30 P.M., turn on every light in your house, start all vehicles, including the lawn mower, & let them idle. Build a fire, preferrably with old tires, & break wind as much as possible.
