Algore betrays the truth and plays on our fears.
Bump for later.
I wonder how much of this anger has been directed at Al's son, it could explain some of his need for solace in drugs.
“Nuttier than a squirrel turd,” as one FReeper says.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Global citizen? Then let him relocate to elsewhere on the globe and annoy someone else!
On some level I agree, but Al Gore has long been an adult and responsible for himself. I know many people with equally poor upbringing who have opened their minds and allowed a little light and air in.
Undoubtedly that is true but I doubt that any of those you know were subjected to the level of "indoctrination" Al Gore was.
Geez! Am I defending Owl Gore?
A red diaper baby for sure(Al Gore).. Must have been Hitlerys subliminal message, to us all, by choosing him.. for BILL..
I think it was George Carlin who quipped about somebody flunking out of divinity school, "They caught him cheating. During the exam he was looking into the soul of the guy sitting next to him."
Actually, I have read some accounts that he was smoking so much dope at Vanderbilt that he couldn't even pass the courses in their Divinity School.
I have a feeling that this book will be like Mein Kampf. Not to compare Gore to Hitler but about how the book was sold. Many people bought Hitler’s book but few read it. It was a standard gift for weddings and everyone had to have one displayed so people could see they owned it.
Gore’s book might be the same. No one reads it but they want other people to know how well read they are in the areas of environmentalism and politics.
I agree, he's like Carter. People think they're great humanitarians but deep down, both Carter and Gore can't comprehend that the American people didn't and don't like them.
I have seen the horror (Michael Yon's OpEd in the NY Daily News)
From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Thanks for the ping!
thanks neverdem and Ernest for the pings (two topics, but...)

Creating Equal:
My Fight Against Race Preferences
by Ward Connerly
As far as the reviews go, it seems clear to me that Al Gore is so off the radar for conservatives in the sense of ANY MINUTE CREDIBILITY that there is almost no reviews by freelance conservatives.
Next for your reading entertainment is "A Message From Al Gore" bit that starts off with the sanctimonious:
I've dedicated my book, The Assault on Reason, to my father, Senator Albert Gore Sr., the bravest politician I've ever known. In the 1970 mid-term elections, President Richard Nixon relied on a campaign of fear to consolidate his power. I was in the military at the time, on my way to Vietnam as an army journalist, and I watched as my father was accused of being unpatriotic because he was steadfast in his opposition to the War--and as he was labeled an atheist because he dared to oppose a constitutional amendment to foster government-sponsored prayer in the public schools.
Let's review some of the keywords sure to convulse liberals: Nixon, fear, consolidate, power, War, atheist, government-sponsored, prayer, public schools. Not to mention, if you didn't know, Al was in Vietnam. At least it was nice to see that Al found a government-sponsored program he didn't support.
To the right of this message is a a picture of contemplating, and noticeably thinner Al Gore (file photo?)
Next we get a fawning, leading interview hosted by Amazon. A snip:
Amazon.com: Of all I've read and seen on climate change, I don't think anything has had quite the impact on me that those vivid maps of shrinking coastlines did in An Inconvenient Truth. You've spent years trying to communicate the threat of climate change and you've learned how to use compelling images to tell that story, but in this book you're very wary of the power of visual images to overwhelm reason with fear. How do you spur people to action in a crisis like this without using fear?
Gore: I often open the slideshow by talking about the "climate crisis." The English meaning of the word "crisis" conveys alarm, but the Chinese and Japanese expressions use two characters together: the first means danger, but the second means opportunity. The animations do help to convey some of that sense of danger--but the opportunities are enormous.
Neeedless to say the rest of the interview is softball after softball.
By the way I would like to know who the "I" is that is conducting this interview. Since when has an interviewer been accorded complete anonymity by just using the name of their employer? Traditionally the interviewer is identified at the beginning of such interview THEN wears the mantle of the name of the publication they work for.
Anyways I love Amazon but this really ticks me off and has me looking at other retailers for items I would have otherwise automatically bought from them.
I agree 100%. I am still truly frightened that but for a few thousand confused seniors in Florida he might have been the leader of the free world.
logically inconsistent and self-serving and unbelievably sanctimonious
So in other words in just the same old leftwing crap.
How I Accidentally Joined the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy: (and Found Inner Peace) (Paperback)
by Harry Stein
http://www.amazon.com/Accidentally-Joined-Vast-Right-Wing-Conspiracy/dp/0060936975/ref=sr_1_1/103-7964298-8869406?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1186404948&sr=1-1

Conservatives aren’t born—they evolve. And for Wall Street Journal ethics columnist Harry Stein—once vilified in The Village Voice as “a well-known asshole”—that evolution began with the birth of his daughter. But Stein’s memoir on transforming from bleeding-heart liberal to someone who gets junk mail from Patrick Buchanan isn’t a sappy tale of fatherhood; it’s a witty, intelligent account of how one man began to think for himself. “I remember when I was called a fascist for the first time,” Stein writes about a dinner conversation in which he sided with Dan Quayle over the Murphy Brown/single-motherhood controversy. While alienating his left-leaning friends, Stein takes to task The New York Times, AIDS hysteria, men-hating feminists, and Bill Clinton, just to mention a few bastions of liberalism that contributed to his social makeover. As if to prove he didn’t start out this way, Stein spends a great deal of time trying to convince the reader of his liberal roots. His wife, a former story editor for a major motion picture company, once belonged to a group called Women Against Right-Wing Scum. His sexual escapades as a single man (including a trip to a New York “swap” club) make up a whole chapter. He also writes of his admiration for Tennessee Williams (whom he once interviewed) as if to say, “See, I am not a homophobe.”
