Gore Wanted Current TV Sale Completed in 2012 to Avoid Obama Tax Increases

Al Gore, the man who first introduced the idea of blaming “the wealthiest one percent” for all of America’s ills, is continuing to embarrass himself in the sale of his low-rated Current TV channel to the Al Jazeera.

First, we learned that Current’s management believed that the favorite news channel of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists is closer to its own viewpoints than conservative media mogul Glenn Beck; now comes news that the former Democratic presidential candidate was insistent that the sale to the Qatari channel be completed before December 31. That date was important to Gore because he was trying to avoid the higher tax rates that President Obama has been clamoring for so desperately for years.

Comcast carries this as part of their basic package. Today, I filed an official complaint that I do not want to pay for this terrorist station.

Is Al Gore a traitor? It’s worth asking the question isn’t it?

Liberals have lectured us on how we should not do business with South Africa during the apaetheid era, and how we should not invest in certain companies such as tobacco companies. But it’s okay for liberals to do business with those who would destroy us. How is this rational????

Taxes are for the little people....not the ruling elites. Watch how the Elites manage to avoid Obama care rules and Gun Control laws in the next few years. They will want to protect themselves from the masses they have whipped into a fury

Current TV is probably farther to the left than al Jazeera is.

But al-Jazeera is more pro-Israel.

This guy is totally devoid of timing.

No algorithm, so to speak.
