He never mentioned Nicholas Berg. Or Daniel Pearl. Or a single person killed in the World Trade Center. Nor did former Vice President Al Gore talk of any soldier by name who has given his life in Iraq. And he has the audacity to condemn the Bush administration for having ``twisted values?''
Gore spent the bulk of a speech before the liberal group MoveOn.org Wednesday bemoaning Abu Ghraib and denouncing President Bush's departure from the ``long successful strategy of containment.''
Yes, the very same strategy that, under Gore's leadership, allowed al-Qaeda operatives to plan the horror of Sept. 11 for years, while moving freely within our borders.
Gore even had the audacity to defend the perpetrators of the prison abuse - by name - while denouncing President Bush [related, bio] for ``humiliating'' our nation.
How dare he. How dare a former vice president of the United States go beyond disagreeing with the current president's policies - a right of anyone in this free country - and denounce Bush as ``incompetent.''
How dare Gore say that Americans have an ``innate vulnerability to temptation... to use power to abuse others.'' And that our own ``internal system of checks and balances cannot be relied upon'' to curb such abuse.
And this man - who apparently has so much disdain for the nature of the American people - wanted to be elected to lead it?
It is Gore who has brought dishonor to his party and to his party's nominee. The real disgrace is that this repugnant human being once held the second highest office in this great land
He Betrayed this nation! HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS!
Wow! Well stated...

When I heard Gore, it sent a shudder down my spine. He might have been President. Frightening to have someone with such venom leading us. Hillary has the same characteristic. I could see her face as he ranted. Wouldn't be surprised if she furnished the "venom" speech to him.
Mind you, it would be so sweet.
Former slightly important person Al Gore is hurting very badly. He needs to say crazy things to get people to take notice of him. Thats all.
Gore forgets who it was that disgraced this country and drug it through the mud in the administration prior to this one. He's got his nerve.
"ice water in Hell"
And Satan was seen in a Boston sporting goods store purchasing a new pair of ice skates...
Gore is just like my socialist dem neighbors. They talk of how evil we are, condemn us, and yet won't leave. During one conversation with the neighbors, I said that it sounded like Canada had everything they were looking for. I also added that my husband has said that if there was better place in the world to live, we would move. We are still here. The conversation ended pretty quickly after that.
I think he is off his medications, what a looney but the funny thing is all those who listen to his every word.
"THis came from the Boston Herald?"
The *Herald* not the pinko Globe.
Our feisty tabloid often pens brilliant editorials.
The NYT-owned Globe is completely out of touch with reality.
Thanks to bmwcyle for finding this... it's perfect :-)
Have you noticed the correlation between Gore speaking and the tornado outbreak?
