Text of Gore Speech at Media Conference
www.breitbart.com ^ | October 6, 2005 | AP

Posted on 10/06/2005 10:50:48 AM PDT by dsmatuska

I came here today because I believe that American democracy is in grave danger. It is no longer possible to ignore the strangeness of our public discourse. I know that I am not the only one who feels that something has gone basically and badly wrong in the way America's fabled "marketplace of ideas" now functions.

How many of you, I wonder, have heard a friend or a family member in the last few years remark that it's almost as if America has entered "an alternate universe"?

Our Founders, probably the most literate generation in all of history, used words with astonishing precision and believed in the Rule of Reason.

Mr. Gore says this further into his speech...the most literate generation...whodathunk...and without a teacher's lobby and billions spent on a failed education system.

He certainly knows about alternate universes - he's been living in one all his life!

Gore's vomits always require translation.

Gore: "...democracy in grave danger."

Translation: Democrats in grave danger.

Mr. Gore, you've got to keep taking you meds or those voices in your head that tell you that you discoverd Loved Canal and invented the Internet will be back.

History inevitably repeats itself.

Has there ever been a leftist movement that hasn't tried to quash free speech?

Does the asylum know he's escaped... again?

So we get a two-for-one deal. First Bubba on how we won't win in Iraq and now this loser.

Message to Bubba and Algore... Siddown and shuddup already.

Al Gore should have his mouth and brain washed out with soap. It is always amusing how people like Gore channel the Founding fathers as if their own ideology and world view and operating methods closely match that of Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Franklin and others. They do not.

I almost want to use the smug reply Lloyd Bentson gave to Dan Quayle in the Vice Presidential debates years ago....."Mr. Gore, I have studied, at length, the founding Fathers. I know them intimately through their actions, their words and their integrity....You, sir, are NO FOUNDING FATHER."

When people like Gore start out with saying that our democracy is in peril, it is ONLY because he is about to set up democrats as their only savior. How else to turn the tide? How else to stop the unaccountable excess...right? Makes me want to vomit. He and his self-righteous friends who bring us every debauchery in politics. Not that every party has dirty and lowly people in it, but the foundations of his one great party do not exist anymore. They have been replaced with Barbara Streisand, Michael Moore, Sean Penn, and what’s more he is a pillar in the institution itself. Sitting as Vice President for a known liar and actual draft dodger all the while mouthing how full of integrity he and Bill were. Loves the military but initially tries to have their votes THROWN out because they did not have a US Post mark on them when arriving in Florida.

No...now Private Citizen Gore is a self serving type who has no interest in his mind other than honoraria, after all, he will never be elected to anything again.

Exactly.

Sounds kind of like "The Great Malaise" speech by Carter
Liberals are always so negative.

Socialists are always selling their institutional facism as democracy. It's like any group with the word 'peace' or 'justice' in their title is usually comprised of a bunch of totalitarian hate mongers.

Instead of the easy and free access individuals had to participate in the national conversation by means of the printed word, the world of television makes it virtually impossible for individuals to take part in what passes for a national conversation today.

Somebody tell Algore about the internet...oh, wait.

When a losing candidate tries to steal an election, it certainly is!

"...it [the internet] does not support the real-time mass distribution of full-motion video."

Huh? Everyone who has watched real time video on the internet please raise your hands. What I'd like to see is real time video of all those reporters at Gore's "conference." I wonder how many kept a straight face when he said this.

I have said that a lot of times, and it usually relates to you one way or the other, al.

I remember quite clearly what Gore was like in the 1980s and he wasn't a "pretty good guy."
