Love Neil, but why does he even deem this worthy of a response. This is just more idiocy on CNNs part by giving it airtime... Might as well give airtime to the crazy homeless guy outside my building that is yelling about lizard people running the country.

I guess if 10% of the nation were concerned with lizard people, it would be news.


You'd be surprised...

Because as he mentions, science literacy is down. Any chance he gets to promote good science I think is worthy of his time, even more so when millions of people could be hearing him. It might be a incredibly stupid topic but putting his face on TV is not a waste of time. It only increases his profile and because of his charisma, may even prompt people to search more about him and watch his more serious videos.

Neil isn't like Hitchens, Dawkins and the like, he is so much more likable and doesn't usually say anything of offensive when he speaks in these types of segments. Please keep him on the air as much as humanly possible

David Icke tries to manipulate people with fear and propaganda.

The horrible illuminati bloodlines and lizard people anyone?

He makes money off delusional people.

Occam's Razor, really. what else could it be but giant carnivorous lizard people. It's the only answer.

I have never agreed with the use of Occam's Razor until now. Bravo.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The majority of people that oppose gay marriage laws don't do it because they hate gays. They do it so marriage doesn't get co-opted.

I don't like that conservatives call themselves human. Your continuing demands that I respect your rights as human beings when you're clearly not is an infringement on my rights.

You co-opt a term for yourselves that clearly doesn't apply.

It's not that I hate the movement to humanize conservatives, but in your zeal you're seeking to infringe on my right to practice my family tradition of believing that you people are all lizard people from the planet Xeen come to eat the brains of those who listen to your siren song of madness.

I mean seriously, how anti-american is that to force me to accept the humanity of a people I clearly have a tradition of demonizing?

Even if your alien conspiracy theory about the lizard people IS TRUE, Obama never knew he wasn't a US citizen. He has lived his whole life as a US citizen.

Obama WAS a citizen of Kenya until his 21st birthday--he had DUAL citizenship between the US and Kenya--and not by choice. That part is irrelevant. If he is not a natural-born citizen, then he doesn't meet the legal requirements.

Will this change anything? No more than Obama's spending spree will change anything (except for causing hyperinflation).

I enjoy pointing out the hypocrisy of boasting of transparency and then not releasing something as boring as a birth certificate. What does The One have to hide?

Hey, I'm no dummy, even if it was proven Barry was technically unqualified to be President, it's not like Democrats are going to follow the rule of law. Even I don't want Biden, the Shemp of Congress, to be President.

McCain was born in Panama, so freakin what.

Here is your problem, Obama COULD HAVE BEEN born in Kenya, it doesn't matter though-- he would still be a US citizen. You can argue over the natural born part, but tough shit for you QM, Hawaii says he has a birth certificate and social security agrees, so did selective service. It is the most meaningless argument of all time. Clearly we are talking about days or weeks or something. Even if your alien conspiracy theory about the lizard people IS TRUE, Obama never knew he wasn't a US citizen. He has lived his whole life as a US citizen..

O SH--- This is a secret plan hatched by the Kenyan military decades ago to raise a kenyan child to secretly become the President of the US someday.

I found the recount process here to be amazingly transparent. Although I guess thats not going to dissuade anyone from crying foul. Personally, I think they should have seated 'Lizard People'.

I imagine the folks writing in FSM and Lizard People, after seeing this video, must feel like their tax dollars are finally going to a good (humorous) cause. If you can't beat them, waste their time, am I right?

This makes me smile and wounds my brain all at the same time.

"a very few statistics..." LOL... GRAPHS that were pulled from a comprehensive paper that's linked in the main article. Take anything Constipational_Tootriate posts with a grain of salt. Not only is he apparently shilling for Milton Friedman (NAIRU, Chile, 1973?) but he also believes the deeply anti-semitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion is legitimate, rather than the acknowledged forgery that it is.

Anyone who isn't of the Lizard-People/Jewish Conspiracy stripe should find the link in my previous post to be instructional.

OK. Where to begin, *deep breath* the lizard people and the British Royal Family (hybrids) formed the illuminati from the remnants of the shattered Hippopotamous Kingdom, who in turn were driven from their watery realm on Sirius *deep breath* so they had to settle here, you see!? Now listen very carefully...the Trilateral Commission fought the Bilderbergers for control of the Tomb of the Crystal Skulls.

(Or did the Crystal Skulls fight the Trilateral Commission for part control of the Bilderberger's Tomb? I always get turned aside at that part and factoring the compound interest...)

You gullible nitwit.

What is this bullshit about black helicopters and lizard people.. you're living in freaky dreamland. It's your MO, so it doesn't surprize me.
