Gore, Robertson and Sharpton hit the beach for commercial (IT’S THE GLOBUL WARMING “TWILIGHT ZONE” )
The Virginia Pilot ^ | March 28, 2008 | Richard Quinn

Posted on 03/29/2008 8:38:00 AM PDT by Conservative Vermont Vet

The Rev. Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson are sitting on a couch and in walks Al Gore.

This isn't a joke.

It's the plot of a new commercial in the former vice president's fight against global warming. Gore and his nonprofit agency, the Alliance for Climate Protection, are pitting odd couplings - think Sharpton and Robertson - in a series of public-service announcements to draw attention to the environment.

The $300 million campaign is expected to launch next week, CBS News reported. Gore talks up his views in a "60 Minutes" interview set to air Sunday.

TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: ads; agw; algore; commercial; endlesssummer; global; globalwarming; newt; patrobertson; warming
Even scarier (if possible) is this:

The public-service announcement - apparently Gore was directing - is meant to show that people who don't agree on much can still agree that the environment is important.

CBS reported other pairings will include Toby Keith and the Dixie Chicks and Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich.

Well, for any Newt supporters (along with McPane as well as our esteemed “Compassionate Conservative Leader,” W) what say you?

It would appear that these three—and apparently many other Republicans and “Conservatives”--have drank some FoolAid and have all lost their minds as a result.

As far as Bush is concerned, well, I had better not say what I’m thinking or I’m apt to get banned.

McLame? He’s an F’n RINO who is pandering for the left vote

Robertson? Who knows?

But Newt? The Architect of the Contract With America? Mr. Conservative?

If this isn’t enough to drive us Conservatives right up a wall I don’t know what it.

How can so many supposedly educated and intelligent people accept this wholly fraudulent and phony “Climate Change” concept?

Small wonder that so many of us are discouraged over the absence of any Leadership from the Conservative side and worse, have NO ONE who is even on the Horizon.

Sharpton and Robertson; Newt and Pelosi?

Its worse than “The Twilight Zone.”

Well, I'm afraid I still have to go with McCain with all of his flaws, I hate to see the White House being turned back to the Clintons or given to Obama. I just hope there is enough "oomph" left in Congress and the Republican PArty to moderate McCain's views on this global warming crap.

That said, I only can give you one explanation on how some people on our side, or were, can buy into this trpe is the old adage of a lie being repeated 1000 times thus becoming true." Combine that with the false religion of Gaia and "global warming to where one is seen as a heretic if you don't believe it, you're bound to get some weak and scared minds to cross over and join the mantra. I used to be big on Pat Robertson but if he buys into this codswallop tripe, then I'm afraid he has to be given the heave-ho. Newt, I don't know what he is thinking, maybe his brain ain't running on all eight cylinders.

Wish someone would tell Owlgore to shut his piehole.

"The Rev. Pat Robertson believes in the global warming scam? That’s news to me.

Me too. Maybe its a "religious" thing.

Noticed there are many liberal theology churches and congregations throughout the country who are now preaching this nonsense.

Not in my church, thank God, or I'd be looking for another place to worship.

Pat Robertson has cashed in all credibullity he had a televangelist by partnering with a known antisemite who claims to be a preacher without a church and a rich demagogue from a political dynasty.

The left still trashes Robertson like he is some kind of right winger but it seems he has been off the conservative farm for a long time. I gave up on him when he said the forced abortion policies in China were none of our business. But Pat is still lumped in with these so called Christian rightists who are trying to take over our lives and destroy anyone who disagrees with them. Like Christianity is a greater threat to us than a certain other religion....

How many more “jump the shark” moments are we going to see here? If I had a priest or preacher tell me he believed in man-made global warming, I’d have to figure he was too stupid to understand or preach the Gospel.

OK

If these nut jobs are allowed to sell their snake oil, and global warming happens anyway (as it has dozens of times in history), do we get our money back?

Or do they just get to ask for MORE money?

"There will be a story featuring Al Gore and his climate views on CBS 60 minutes this weekend. Normally I don’t pay much heed to this program, but Gore is publicly calling those who question the science “…almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the world is flat."

This newspaper has an annoying habit of making a paragraph out of every sentence no matter how short. A paragraph supports reading comprehension. It starts with a main point which is followed by supporting details. They do manage to get the who, what, when, where, why, and how out but you have to read many annoying short paragraphs when this should be contained all in the first.

“nonprofit” my a$$

A good many of these "non-profit" agencies are nothing but expense accounts for people like Algore.

They keep their real income from investments in the bank and use the "non-profit" to pay themselves a salary (an expense of the "non-profit" agency) as well as airfare, hotels bills, meals, rental car (or in the case of Algore.... a chauffered limosine).

They do nothing but travel around and live the high life at the "non-profit" agency's expense.

The "non-profit" agency truly is that since there is usually nothing left.

Sometimes I feel like Pat Robertson is.. well.. sort of a fraud.

It’s a shame, because he does lead many to Christ. He’s good at that! IMOHO, he should stick to what he does best and leave politics alone.

I can't figure Newt's position on this at all. Then again, towards the end of his leadership in the House, he (tried to ?) pay off the big media with a HUGE multi-billion scheme to PAY FOR the previously free public-service TV and radio ads.

And all that money goes straight to the MSM of course.

Now global warming?

Robertson usually has more sense than this.

If somebody was thinking Pat Robertson’s participation in this would do anything to validate the global warming fraud among conservatives, they were wrong.

Pat Robertson invalidates himself by doing this.

I did leave a comment and received a reply from CBN today basically quoting word for word one of the paragraphs on the CBN website re: Pat has always cared about taking care of this fragile planet.

However, Pat evidently does not care about the coming oppression which will be enforced by law and taxes on the everyday American (and those in Europe) in order to “save the planet” from globaloney.

I am very disappointed in Pat Robertson about this issue and have supported him many times when others have sought to trash him.
