Last night, Rachel Maddow defended recent guest Bill Nye “The Science Guy” after recent criticism from Glenn Beck.

The Fox News host took issue with Nye’s saying that people who question climate change because of the blizzard in Washington are “almost unpatriotic” and “denying science.” Maddow, in a segment, ran through what she/Nye/Beck said on this issue over the past few days, before closing with a shot back.

I commend Mr. Beck for his success. I wish his giant audience all the best. He has made a lot of people very afraid about a lot of things. And that tried-and-true strategy has reaped big financial reward for him and for Fox News.

I think it’s between you and your God or you and your conscience as to how much you’re willing to stir up Americans’ fear and prejudice for profit. But it’s between you and me when you accuse me of lying. I didn’t lie. Back off.
