Heretic! He blasphemes against the teachings of St. Algore. /sarcasm

I disagree with your post in that this gentleman does indeed repeatedly refer to facts ... just prior to his name calling. Gore’s current game is in the political arena, so heis fair game for this sort of piece.

The purpose of the author’s tirade IS to refute Gore’s claims and to discredit him as a legitimate spokesman for “the movement”. As such his vitriol is well-founded in fact and opinion.

I read this as a quality, humorous and biting opinion piece.

Of course we can, but it is delightfully fun when one can lighten up a bit and enjoy it when the wackos turn on each other.

Here’s “not a bad gig if you can get it”:

Start a fear mongering religion, with its own set of indulgences, set up a company to sell those indulgences, buy your own indulgences and guilt others into doing so also.

Al Gore reminds me of the Brother Justin character in Carnivale. Both seem equally possessed and seductively evil for naive, guilt ridden masochists who live to be scared out of their wits.

Cockburn’s actually 2 fer 2 lately - he also called for arming teachers or principals in the wake of the VT shootings and absolutely ripped into school adminstrators.

The next AOL, the next WorldCom (fraudulent rip-off companies similar to Enron, but never given the degree of exposure in the media as “evil” capitalist companies that Enron was) will be corporations that peddle “carbon credits.” Before that happens, however, Gore and a few of his cronies and family members will become mega-billionaires, allowing them to build a few extra trophy homes, and buy a few extra private jet to fly around the planet in.

“Hysteria rules the day.”
Whatever else, he’s right there, and not just about global warming.

Liberal columnist?

Ha, I bet Cockburn spends his evenings writing “Second Front Now” on building’s walls.
