U.S. leg of Live Earth hits key notes
"Today, more than 2 billion of us have come together in more than 130 countries on all seven continents," said former Vice President Al Gore, the event's organizer. "Times like these demand action," he added, after announcing the 7-Point Pledge that he hoped millions would sign while watching the concert.
However, Etheridge aside, it was nonmusicians at this concert who made the most passionate pleas about demanding action for the environment. "Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist author, president of Waterkeeper Alliance and Robert F. Kennedy's son, who grew hoarse from shouting. "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors."
Primatologist Jane Goodall offered a greeting in chimpanzee language, before saying, "Up in the North the ice is melting, what will it take to melt the ice in the human heart?"

RFK Jr. is a mental case. If a Republican said something like this, it would be front page news all over the world, Congress would pass a resolution of censure, left-beasts would call it a hate crime, and the usual suspects would demand a resignation.
Sounds like the Greenies are fixing to get violent to me.
Sounds like another Kennedy that might meet with ‘The Kennedy Curse’ if he doesn’t be a good boy and tow the line like uncle Teddy.
Do the Kennedy folks come out of the womb thinking they're already President - or maybe even God? Kings of the world? Puffed up. Waaaay too puffed up.
i’m really tired of kennedys.
jfk was a loser,
promoted by hollywood, tv, and the democrap party into a celebrity.
He’s a goofball.
“Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
Gee, you should really speak more respectfully about your Uncle Teddy!
I consider standing up and challenging the global warmer kooks the highest form of patriotism possible. (I swiped that from the ‘RATS). Challenging the global warming pinheads is just another way of challenging an out of control governement.

This guy is so bitter and twisted. A sniveling hissing Rat
I've long wondered what it must be like to know that you're the Kennedy of that generation (Teddy) not worth killing... The enemies of America realize that keeping him alive and in the senate does far more damage to the US than assassinating him.

It takes one to know one.Kennedys are nothing but crooks!!
Words can not describe how much I detest the entire tribe of Kennedys. From Joe Sr on every one has been a worthless bloodsucker draining the life out of this country like a vampire.

What nation are we "aiding"? How will opposition to "Global Climate Change" reforms betray our government or sovereign state?
Robert F. Kennedy Junior is a partisan hack and a liar.
U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3
Article 3 - The Judicial Branch Section 3 - Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
If anything, those who push for the US to be subservient to the Kyoto Protocols and the EUSSR are pushing for the end of our sovereign rule in favor of globalist pressures. And those pressures unfairly target the United States while giving grace to "expanding" industries in China and India.
RFK Jr. is a lying liar living off his uncle's name.
Another Kennedy jerk off opens his mouth ..The elite class who never once , ever , knew what it was to be an average American. Like his scumbag relatives they live in a land of make believe. I spit on that whole family of snobs .
Must be all the heroin he did.
The Left talked about a “Red Scare” and a “Cold War Hysteria”. McCarthy (and the HCUAA from the 1930s-1960s) was right.
However we are now facing a Global Warming Scare that is pure socialist bunk.
Isn’t it ironic how all the LIBERALS have become the Nazis ( there will be NO discussion of Global Warming , we kno wthe truth and that’s final ) Now if they can only pass the fairness doctrine they will have FULL control of the media.
That pic of RFK Jr. looks like he’s channeling the late John Ritter.
A total, blithering idiot.
If his Daddy was alive, he would kick Jr’s ass.
Take a few minutes and read a few pages of comments to this article .... everyone is ranting about these fools. Some of them are hilarious.
No. Ritter was basically a nice guy. RFK jr is a bitter jerk
RFKjr......is he the drug addict or the pedophile? I get all of them mixed up
Well if RFK Jr WAS channeling Ritter, I’m sure Ritter wouldn’t be too happy about it. Point taken. ;)
There's more moral rot in that one family than in some small towns of 10,000 people.
Some great comments to that article for sure. I happy to see there are a few people around who see through Al Gore and his socialist hoax. Most here in the NY City area are ALL INTO AL GORE and are running around promoting green living.It’s just a scam to get more money from the average guy , stupid sheeple are following right along with it too.
Oh man, is he suggesting we might all be shot by a tribunal for, well, driving a Lexus? Or not recycling? Or keeping the AC too cool?
This deranged guy is the tip of the green iceberg. I swear, scratch a liberal/environmentalist and underneath is a tyrant waiting to happen. People like this have fueled every radical movement that results in killing in history.
At least he discredits his movement doesn’t he?
I would give anything for one reporter to question him about his uncle Teddy's REAL treachery in his dealings with the KGB at the height of the Cold War.
The antipathy that congressional Democrats have today toward President George W. Bush is reminiscent of their distrust of President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War, a political science professor says."We see some of the same sentiments today, in that some Democrats see the Republican president as being a threat and the true obstacle to peace, instead of seeing our enemies as the true danger," said Paul Kengor, a political science professor at Grove City College and the author of new book, "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism."
In his book, which came out this week, Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan's foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.
The letter, dated May 14, 1983, was sent from the head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then General Secretary of the Soviet Union's Communist Party.
In his letter, KGB head Viktor Chebrikov offered Andropov his interpretation of Kennedy's offer. Former U.S. Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.) had traveled to Moscow on behalf of Kennedy to seek out a partnership with Andropov and other Soviet officials, Kengor claims in his book. At one point after President Reagan left office, Tunney acknowledged that he had played the role of intermediary, not only for Kennedy but for other U.S. senators, Kengor said. Moreover, Tunney told the London Times that he had made 15 separate trips to Moscow.
"There's a lot more to be found here," Kengor told Cybercast News Service. "This was a shocking revelation."
It is not evident with whom Tunney actually met in Moscow. But the letter does say that Sen. Kennedy directed Tunney to reach out to "confidential contacts" so Andropov could be alerted to the senator's proposals.
Specifically, Kennedy proposed that Andropov make a direct appeal to the American people in a series of television interviews that would be organized in August and September of 1983, according to the letter.
"Tunney told his contacts that Kennedy was very troubled about the decline in U.S -Soviet relations under Reagan," Kengor said. "But Kennedy attributed this decline to Reagan, not to the Soviets. In one of the most striking parts of this letter, Kennedy is said to be very impressed with Andropov and other Soviet leaders."
Let me get this straight... He says those skeptical of global warming are guilty of treason (even though many scientists dispute this)... and says NOTHING about those MANUFACTURING a loss in Iraq????? Furthermore, isn’t this idiot jackass the same brainless wonder who could not explain to Sean Hannity his use of private jets??? This is CLASSIC!!!
I’d like to see that half-a-sissy call me a traitor to my face. He means zero to me . Damn Nazi he is .
I smell ozone....
There is no way that they had ‘2 billion’ at the concerts.
One or the other or both - it doesn’t matter. It’s Dimmy hysterics, spouting words whose concept he can’t possible understand. Dangerous, when in the course of propaganda, words lose their meaning. Example: illegal is the equivalent of legal.
Check out post 13. Said everything I’d want to say but am not smart enough to put together.
I sometimes wish this were still the law of the land:
SECTION 3. Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States, or to promote the success of its enemies, or shall willfully make or convey false reports, or false statements, . . . or incite insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the military or naval forces of the United States, or shall willfully obstruct . . . the recruiting or enlistment service of the United States, or . . . shall willfully utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the form of government of the United States, or the Constitution of the United States, or the military or naval forces of the United States . . . or shall willfully display the flag of any foreign enemy, or shall willfully . . . urge, incite, or advocate any curtailment of production . . . or advocate, teach, defend, or suggest the doing of any of the acts or things in this section enumerated and whoever shall by word or act support or favor the cause of any country with which the United States is at war or by word or act oppose the cause of the United States therein, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both....
If you jam your finger in someone's face and scream and rant that they are going to h*** because they don't care for the environment, you are going to turn off a lot of people who might listen to a reasonable arguement. But if you show them the benefits and beauty of a carefully designed conservation program, many people would be willing to listen.
If the Republicans we elected had any balls ( or interest in the country )they would start pushing for the sedition laws to be upheld.
OK let's do the math:
NBC ratings for Saturday night show 4 million (they were in last place).
BBC claim an audience of 3.1 million
MSN say 10 million followed online.
Live audience for the six concerts - less than 500,000
That gives us 17,500,000 from those sources which is less than 1% of the claimed attendance...
WHERE THE F@CK ARE THE OTHER 1982,500,000 COMING FROM, AL ?????
Gore’s been hitting his stash again if he expects us to believe the two billion line. I do love how the MSM has run with it and said, “Yeah, there were two billion watching!” They must have been counting the ants crawling on the mounds of trash these cretins left in their wake.
“Hes a goofball.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They’re all goofballs.
The only reason anyone hears, much less listens to what any of these asshats says is that they have similar asshat goofballs in the media who will wait in breathless anticipatiton for whatever escapes the bathroom stall door regardless the orifice of origination.
One question for RFK, Jr. Where’s the windmills?
Hypocritical SOB!!!!
Yeah, Okay so his daddy got offed by some whacked out pre-OBL jihadist. That doesn’t give him the right, much less the audacity, to tell me how I have to drive less so he can fly around the world making speeches about how “we” should all be driving less to save the planet.
“Take a few minutes and read a few pages of comments to this article .... everyone is ranting about these fools. Some of them are hilarious.”

I did and you’re right. I’m not familiar with newsday.com, but some of the comments there might receive an honorable mention here @ FR.

He was counting all the dimpled chads.
“Umm, finger food!”
I wonder if Robert knows how to fly a light plane?
I am a lot more concerned about all these unelected pressure groups and activists throwing monkeywrenchs in everything everybody tries to do and somehow doing it on our dime than I am about corporations that employ millions of people.
Er..”lite” plane. :0P
