Gore Blasts Bush for Disbanding Senate Intelligence Cte., Charges Nixon-like Coverup over 911

C-SPAN ^ | November 9, 2003 | nwrep

[nwrep]

Al Gore has charged that the Bush administration is attempting to cover-up the 9/11 investigation by dismissing the Senate Intelligence Committee.

In a speech sponsored by the Communist Group Moveon.org, Gore dismissed the partisan Democrat memo advising the committee to use intelligence information for political purposes as "trivial", and accused Bush of over-reaching in his authority, in much the same way as Richard Nixon did when he fired his Chief Investigator during the Watergate scandal.

It was reported here that Senator Frist disbanded the Senate Intellignce Committee after the partisan memo revealed it would be unable to carry out its work in a bipartisan manner.

Frist Disbands Senate Intel Committee Over Memogate

[quesera]

Al who ??

[Lunatic Fringe]

So... Frist dismantles the committee, but it's Bush's fault? LOL

[nwrep]

PING

[freekitty]

Who cares what Al Gore says.

[ladyinred]

YOU PRIG!!!!

LOSER!

TRAITOR!

(not you nwrep, algore)

[LayoutGuru2]

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has temporarily disbanded the Senate Intelligence Committee until committee Democrats reveal the identity of the author of a memo outlining a their plan to politicize intelligence data in a bid undermine President Bush's reelection.

I keep searching, but I have failed to find G.W.'s name mentioned in the sentence above.

[JennysCool]

In that wonderful old non-PC phrase, Al's a mental case.

[cars for sale]

this traitor is defending the rights of those
we held after 9/11 and just quoted Jesus

[mom-7]

I always thought that gore was a moron, now I am sure of it.

[Madame Dufarge]

Poor Al, if he only had a scinitilla of relevance left, he wouldn't be reduced to making a complete public fool of himself.

[Polybius]

Ummmmmm........Mr. Gore, did you miss the part in the Constitution about separation of powers?

When did George W. Bush become a Senator with authority to suspend any Senate committee?

[Blackyce]

I guess it was Senate Majority Leader Bush who disbanded the committee.

[Clara Lou]

The word you want is "scum." S-C-U-M. Al Gore is scum. Not pond scum, mind you. Pond scum has a purpose in nature. Al Gore doesn't.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Well, it is a pretty audacious move.

High stakes poker with an ever-growing pot. Bush calls the dems and raises the bet.

Gore sweats and folds.

[jraven]

Accurate that Gore is a louse, that this is reprehensible. Inaccurate that move on is a "communist group." As inaccurate as anything the left says about the right and undermines the power of the posting.

[linn37]

oh my,he is nothing but a joke now and his wife should help the poor man.

[cars for sale]

now Gore is complaining our bullets are too big,our
aim too great...those poor gitmo prisoners

[Right_in_Virginia]

In a speech sponsored by the Communist Group Moveon.org, Gore dismissed the partisan Democrat memo ...

I'm so glad Al Gore lost.

[OXENinFLA]

Gheese, I've had him on for about 10 mins. he's going looney.

[gipper81]

Inaccurate that move on is a "communist group."

A link?

[Buck W.]

Did C-SPAN really refer to MoveOn as a Communist group?

[chantal7]

I see algore's game plan now! The more nonsense that spews out of his mouth, the more carbon dioxide there is in the air for the grass and trees. He's doing his part to save the trees! lol

[cornelis]

[zencat]

Democrats just don't get it. Since 2000 and particularly 9/11, they've just gone out of their minds.

It's no wonder why people like Zell Miller can't support them.

[linn37]

He's upset that Greenpeace is being investigated. Maybe Gore will run as a Greenie. He's upset that we infiltrated some places of worship. He's just plain upset. Life is good.

[Principled]

In a speech sponsored by the Communist Group Moveon.org, Gore dismissed the partisan Democrat memo...

How does aligning himself with a communist org make this dem believe he's reaching people? The dems prob is they have no clue what Americans want.

[cornelis]

link to speech

[gipper81]

And, thank you very much for that quality piece of research!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Al who?

[linn37]

what is the purpose of his speech?

[The Westerner]

Things are becoming clearer this morning. Al Gore might be part of the devious plan to get the Republicans. It doesn't matter that Bush had nothing to do with disbanding the committee. All that counts are sound bites. Now that Al said it, everyone in the media and in politics can echo the line.

[Musket]

You're so right. If anyone has any doubts about the Dems insanity just turn on C-Span right now - INSANITY LIVE!

[Caipirabob]

I imagine the majority of Americans realize that "If AlGore don't like it, it's GOOD for America".

[gipper81]

Yep.

Liberal media: Algore said this about the intel committee, blah blah blah; ergo it must be true since he won (stole) the popular vote, ya know, ya know...

[cars for sale]

what this sumabitch is doing is treasonous. He just gave our enemies permission to have at our own captured
he said it

[_Jim]

Gore Blasts Bush for Disbanding Senate Intelligence Cte.,

What?

I thought Frist did this?

Is he losing it (finally)?

[linn37]

yes he did,I say we lock his a** up in Gitmo with those fine citizens that he is defending.

[_Jim]

Democrats just don't get it. Since 2000 and particularly 9/11, they've just gone out of their minds.

TRUE to Rush's prediction; they go 'wild' when they are 'out of power' ...

[clintonh8r]

So....in Goreworld the president has the power to dissolve senate comittees. Thank God Alice Gwhore isn't president.

[cars for sale]

this may get me kicked off free republic but to me
dip Kofi Anan in a bowl of flour and record his speach
and that is what we just heard. We just heard a UN
call to arms against extreme fundamentalists

[Prime Choice]

It is so utterly gratifying to watch these nutbags go into political meltdown.

If they keep this up, the humbling that the Left got in 2002 will look like a cakewalk in 2004!

[MHGinTN]

Gore dismissed the partisan Democrat memo advising the committee to use intelligence information for political purposes as "trivial" ... May God have mercy on US, what a fool Al is proving himself to be. I sure am thankful this Al character and his blind partisanship (that endangers this nation in this our perilous hour) did not get elected to the White House!

[swilhelm73]

All Frist has to say, to my mind, is that since the Democrats refuse to conduct a serious investigation - as evidenced by their recent memo on how to use intelligence information as a partisan tool, we cannot afford to put America's security at risk just so the Democrat party has material for attack ads come 2004.

Seriously, that memo is far more damning then the Democrats seem to understand. The American people will not stand for such an outrageous use of America's intelligence resources. Forget Rockfeller's aide who wrote it stepping down - I'd call on the Senate to censor him and ask for his resignation.

[walden]

Since when do respectable Democrats give speeches to communist organizations? What's the MATTER with those people?

[Keyes2000mt]

Well Mr. Gore, if you have a problem with Senator Frist's actions you can run against him. After all, he's from your home state. Oh wait, you'd lose there just like in 2000.

[hgro]

Al Gore is one brick short of a full load.

[kcar]

Carter's turn next. Then Bubba's.

[Maria S]

"cpusa.org endorses moveon.org "

Thanks for clarifying this; cpusa.org DID have a blue "hard" link to moveon on its website, but removed it. Now, they have a request for financial help on the website.

I WOULD like to see the link from C-span, as quoted in the article:
"In a speech sponsored by the Communist Group Moveon.org"

[Miss Marple]

I double dog dare Carter to step into this. If he does, I will call and wite every media outlet I can find, detailing his efforts to get the Soviet Union to help him defeat Reagan!!
