I think Al Gore and his supporters handled themselves a lot worse.

Gore’s lies = an inconvenient truth.

It sounds as though the title of Gore’s “Oscar winning” film is coming bqack to haunt him!!!

Generations from now, it should provide our descendants with a good laugh at some of the kookiness of the enviroweenie movement!!

I don’t understand you criticism, McAleer said almost exactly that... he then had his microphone cut off to prevent further embarrassment to a blustering Al Gore.

Phelim McAleer; “the number of polar bears has increased.....I mean if the number of polar bears increase surely they are not endangered?”

I would have mentioned the State of Alaska vs. The United States that argued Polar Bears are not endangered and guess what Sarah Palin was in on that case and WON!

I don’t believe they are “not evil, just wrong”.

I may be attributing motive, which is judging intentions, not something I’m supposed to do,

but...

when you see that every “solution” offered to these made up crises involves elitist control over others by those in power,

you have to point out the pattern.

People give Orly Taitz a hard time but I think she presents her side better than McAleer does in off-the-cuff comments.

I've spent some time with Phelim. He's a brilliant guy. But you have to give him a break, he's Irish. We were all born with this seething pot of emotions on the verge of boiling over at any minute. No matter how calm an collected you carry yourself to begin with it sometimes gets the better of you. I've been in situations like this too. There's a lot of excitement and anticipation that leads up to the confrontation. You start out calm but then some smarmy fool starts getting you agitated (usually with some unexpected example of idiocy) and the careful calm plans get lost as the pot boils over.

He'll get better with time. It's not like he gets to face down his #1 nemesis every day.

If you watch the version of the video from Big Hollywood you will see Algore giving some kind of a “zip his lip” signal at 1:01:

“The microphone was cut off and he was escorted away”

Fat Boy Gore is at it again, isn’t he?

He just cannot stand anyone to question his “authority” and “knowledge”.

He's doing good work, and I don't mean to give him a hard time. I recognize how hard it is to deliver a perfect message when you get a special opportunity and the pressure is on. So, I mean no disrespect to him.

I don't want to seem defensive and sound like like I'm "going after" him, but let me explain my initial comment. I imagine there are some crazy leftists out there who think that are about two dozen polar bears left in the wild. Sure, maybe last year there were 22 of 'em, and this year there are 23 -- but surely these are endangered animals. yes? Well, you and I both know that there are lots and lots of polar bears. And as McAleer says, the numbers are increasing, so what's the problem? Well the problem is that Leftists don't see it that way.

The exchange is just Al Gore asking in shock (as many Leftists would) "You don't think they are endangered??" And McAleer saying "Their numbers are increasing." But that doesn't convince Gore that the Polar Bears are out of danger. He asks again "You don't think think they're endangered???" and McAleer says "Their numbers are increasing"

At this point we have a boring, repetitive ping pong match and the organizers cut the mic to get to someone who would ask new questions.

Gore's people behaved badly. I'll say they behaved worse. But McAleer had an opportunity and I think he didn't make the best use of it. That's all I'm saying.

No argument would get through that fat head of his. All he sees is $$$.

“Gore’s people behaved badly. I’ll say they behaved worse. But McAleer had an opportunity and I think he didn’t make the best use of it. That’s all I’m saying.”

It appears Gore was clearly cutting him off at the beginning of the questioning and already shutting him out before he could even make an argument. See #52.

I hate these people more and more. I think this whole thing has been in the works for 30 years. I just find myself wanting to get the f out of here.

It’s like “Who’s on first?”

They know what you’re asking, but they’re definition of an “answer” is different than your definition of an “answer”!
