Sterling Burnett is a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis, an organization that has received over $390,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998. This afternoon on Fox, Burnett compared watching Al Goreâ??s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, to watching a movie by Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels to learn about Nazi Germany. Watch it:

ExxonMobil doesnâ??t have a substantive answer to Goreâ??s movie, so it bankrolls people like Burnett to smear Gore personally.

Dutifully, Burnett recently wrote an editorial defending former Exxon CEO Lee Raymondâ??s lavish compensation (which amounted to $190,000 a day in 2005). He failed to mention his financial connection to the company.

Notice how the segment ends just as Jeremy Symons was telling the audience that Sterling is a paid, Big Oil shill. Being a Big Oil shill isn't too popular these days.

Transcript

Burnett: That's the problem. If I thought Al Gore's movie was as you like to say, fair and balanced, I'd say, everyone should go see it, but why go see propaganda? You don't go see Joseph Goebbelsâ??' films to see the truth about Nazi Germany. You don't go see Al Goreâ??' films to see the truth about global warming...

Symons: Sterling is an odd one to be casting aspersions on what Al Gore's motives are, after all the oil industry has been giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars to his organization, just like tobacco companies used to do to try undercut...

Host: That's a whole other subject guys and we're up against a hard break.

As the weblog ThinkProgress noted, the National Center for Policy Analysis has received more than $390,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998, and Burnett recently wrote an editorial defending former Exxon CEO Lee Raymond's retirement compensation (which amounted to $190,000 a day in 2005). The editorial did not mention Burnett's financial connection to the company.

Media Matters for America has documented numerous instances of Fox News anchors and contributors comparing progressives to either Goebbels, the propaganda minister in Nazi Germany, or the Nazi Party more generally. For example:

* The O'Reilly Factor host Bill O'Reilly has compared Media Matters, Media Matters president and CEO David Brock, Air America Radio, filmmaker Michael Moore, and Air America radio host Al Franken to Goebbels. O'Reilly's Nazi comparisons have not stopped at Goebbels. He equated donating money to MoveOn.org with funding the Nazi Party while also likening those who have called for the withdrawal of troops in Iraq to Nazi appeasers.
* Hannity & Colmes co-host Sean Hannity defended Focus on the Family founder and chairman Dr. James C. Dobson's claim that there is a "relationship" between embryonic stem-cell research and the Nazi experiments conducted on live humans prior to and during the Holocaust.
* Right-wing columnist and frequent Fox News contributor Ann Coulter called Media Matters "little Nazi block watchers," stating: "They tattle on their parents, turn them in to the Nazis."
