Congressman and Michael Mann battle over ‘Stalinist tactics’ in ‘global warming’ debate
AP's Seth Borenstein: Mann and Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California both compared the other side's behavior to the former Soviet Union under Josef Stalin. Mann first raised the Stalin analogy, then Rohrabacher used the comparison four times after that to talk about Mann and other mainstream climate scientists. "For scientists to call names to beat someone into submission, that's a Stalinist tactic," Rohrabacher said.
