Al Gore. He's made over 100 million dollars spreading the fear of the myth of man made global warning. Spreading fear is very, very profitable. He's a modern day P.T. Barnum. So, Al Gore is my final answer.

So, just who is behind the smears and lies about global warming?

"Who is" behind the smears to smear the truth is the bigger question:

And "Who is" the Hastings Group? A liberal PR firm with ties to SEIU, ACORN, and others:

The Hastings Group

Now in its 17th year of operation, The Hastings Group (THG) is a full-service consulting firm that specializes in issues management and lobbying, coalition outreach, public relations, Web projects and branding/advertising. THG works primarily with initially low visibility "white hat" clients that require aggressive and innovative strategies to raise the profile of themselves and their issues. The hallmark of The Hastings Group is an aggressive approach to low-cost/high-impact campaigns that catapult its clients and their issues into a place of greater prominence and influence on policymaking and in other realms. Unlike larger consulting firms that use senior members to pitch clients and then hand off the work to junior staff members, THG achieves superior results by involving senior partners and other seasoned staffers in all aspects of its work for clients.
In addition to the Civil Society Institute, past and present clients of The Hastings Group are AARP, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), The Workforce Alliance, the Consumer Federation of America, the National Consumers League, the Center for Responsible Lending, Calvert Group, the New York Association of Training and Education Programs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, Opportunity Finance Network, the Nonprofit Finance Fund, Navajo Nation, the National Association of Attorneys General, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the North American Securities Administrators Association, Environmental Integrity Project, Ceres, and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
Key members of The Hastings Group include:
Senior Partner Scott Edward Stapf oversees all PR/Web/advertising work of The Hastings Group. Stapf is a former journalist who has served as director of media relations for two national trade associations in Washington, D.C. He has participated in and/or organized media campaigns in 49 of the 50 states. Op-ed pieces written by Stapf have appeared in the Washington Post, the New York Times, USA Today and dozens of other publications. In 1986, a Washington Post "Style" section profile described him as a "Washington whiz kid". The Post story concluded: "Stapf is something of a PR prodigy ... with the shrewd instincts and almost inhuman self-control of a natural." The newsletter PR Broadcasting has described Stapf as "one of the most highly respected public relations people in Washington."



In other words, they just owned you. You fell for them hook, line, and sinker.

I think that more and more leftists are realizing that they've been duped. They made a religion out of GW and now have to face the fact that their "evangelists" are akin to the scam artist televangelists of the early 90's.

I didn't see anything in there about ACORN at all. Are you making things up?

And, so, all you have done is concluded that the Hastings Group owns the website. You haven't explained anything about how that "owns" the OP, you have only asserted that it does (and used false information to do so).

Refute the OP with an actual argument or go home.
