Where are they Al?

The man who came within a hair's breadth of the presidency in 2000 is denouncing his own government on foreign soil, the Associated Press reports:
Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.
Gore said Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.
"The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake," Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. "The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."
There is a comical element to this, as Glenn Reynolds notes: "Only Al Gore could come up with the idea of criticizing Bush for not sucking up to the Saudis enough. Sigh."
Heh. Indeed. But blogger "TigerHawk" makes some serious points:
This is asinine both substantively and procedurally.

The only consolation is that Gore likely would have done a lot more damage had he spent four years in the White House. And given the precedent set by Jimmy Carter, it isn't hard to imagine Gore as an embittered one-term ex-president giving the same speech in Jeddah.
Al Gore is guilty of treason. He is a traitor to our country. Anyone who would lower himself to do what he did on foreign soil even should not even be allowed back into this great country. He has proven himself for what he truly is and any pity I had for him in earlier threads is gone. I no longer pity him. He is what he is. Like Rush says: "A tiger is a tiger." Nothing more...nothing less. I'm glad MY name is not GORE.
Al-Gorzeera........
Taliban Al
Where are they Al?
According to Al Gore then, it was reprehensible for the USA to attack Japan after Pearl Harbor ....
They'll never charge him. I would treat him for delusional hysteria.
Al,
The channels of friendship between Saudi and US that led to 15 of the 19 911 hijackers being Saudi?
The channels of friendship that led the Saudis to cooperate with the US in investigating,locating and punishing those who killed 19 American soldiers on saudi soil at Khobar towers...?
Those channels of friendship?
Taliban-Tipper.......
May the parasites of 1000 camels infest his small intestine for eternity.
Can we prosecute this POS?
... and old Al isn't the only one.. unfortunately both parties grovel to the Saudis.
Unfortunately, there's probably no controlling legal authority that prevents Arabia Al from doing what he's doing, as revolting as it is.
What's the legal definition of sedition?
Maybe we can get Gore in on Cheney's next hunting trip...and ask Teddy K. to drive Gore to the hospital.
Not only could could this smokely dokely brain-fried nerd not name one "Arab" who was mistreated by the USG after 9-11...but I'm sure he could not name of the 19 young troops killed in Daharan during his watch as VP.
How about a class action suit suing him for jeapordizing our safety and inciting hatred for America.
Anyone bother to ask what Al the Bore is doing over there? Sure smells like his and BJ Bubba's illegal campaign fund raising with the Chinese in 1996. Go over, tell the crowd what they want to hear, pocket the check, move on to the next group of suckers. Al the Bore wants to run in 2008 and bet he got a whole lot of money for telling the Al Qeda support network in Saudi EXACTLY what they wanted to hear.
Sign me up!
Right down the road from all the hippies Nixon rounded up and sent to camp.
It is also said that when he and Clinton walked into the Monticello Museum, Gore looked at the two large busts and said, "Who are those guys?"
"There is simply no defense for what Gore has done here, for he is deliberately undermining the United States during a time of war, in a part of the world crucial to our success in that war, in front of an audience that does not vote in American elections. Gore's speech is both destructive and disloyal, not because of its content--which is as silly as it is subversive--but because of its location and its intended audience."
This sums it up.
Thanks for posting.
Algore is starting to make Howeard Dean look smart.
That actually happened. I remember seeing a video of it and he sincerely did not know who they were. Perhaps someone here remembers that link?
He did the same thing when he was introduced to Dolly Parton.
This behavior by Al Ghoul shouldn't surprise anybody, it's a family tradition: the Communist stooge Armand Hammer once bragged that he had Al's father (Senator Al Gore Sr.) "in his hip pocket" and after Gore Sr. was out of the Senate, was given a nice plum job running one of Hammer's businesses, and now decades later, it would appear that the Saudis (or some Arab or pro-Arab group) has Al Jr. in THEIR hip pocket. And the nice thing about the Gores, is that once they're bought, they stay bought.
Until a better offer comes along.
If Gore had been in office on 9/11, he would have spent the rest of his term apologizing to the Muslims for making them mad.
Treason.
If there was ever any doubt in anyone's mind that Gore is a complete idiot, this should put that doubt to rest.
I bet Algore wishes Slick would call, I'm sure he is so lonely and depressed.
O.K. so how do we get this message out to people who are not regulars to this website? You know the MSM will not carry this story. Anyone have any ideas?
Al just told a brazen lie!He is adding his 2 cents to help the unrest continue over the cartoons which in turn hurts America.
Seems hard for algore to remain relevant in regards to anything.
Must be hell for him knowing he was so very close to being president instead of illrevelent.
May all the sand lice in the Empty Quarter find a home in Gore's jocky shorts. May his shrink never properly adjust his medication.
He is the lowest form of scum.
Point 1: Make sure Cheney uses 00 buckshot this time.
Point 2: Gore hates combution engine vehicles so a donkey cart will be used.

Seriously, this man is mentally ill....what would he have done if he were President on 9/11??? Cry.....Apologize to the Arabs....Surrender?? Probably all three!!! He is sick.
Al Gore was used for strictly comic effect as he has an IQ slightly above room temperature and is incapable of an original thought. Prince Albert is strictly stale news. PA's material can only be read while one wraps a fish, being particularly aware that his mouth and the rectal orifice of the wish neatly overlay one another.
Is a former VP protected by the Secret Service? If so it's such a shame that they have to listen to this crap and still stand guard.
Once again, Thank God for Ralph Nader and Elian Gonzales.
