Perverting science for politics

Glatt, the same complaint about the previous Administrations was made at this same testimony -- C. Everett Koop and David Satcher, one each Republican and Democratic Administration figures, both complained of pressure from the White House and the effect it had on them. Jocelyn Elders could have made the same complaint, I should think.

I didn't happen to be speaking of tw in post #209, but of the grumbling herd of crazed anti-Republicans.

It's time to point out that the effect of a hostility to spending Federal cash on embryonic stem-cell research is going to be limited. It's limited in time -- until January 2008 most likely; it's limited in scope -- blastocysts are not the only source of stem cells as you well know, and other stem cell sources are not under interdict for Federal funding, and last I heard the other sources were showing even more potential.

Sooo, I don't give much weight to the anti-Republicans' exercises in propaganda and other intellectual dishonesty. You could look this kind of stuff up. How does it feel to have been played so?
