Gore: Bush is 'renegade rightwing extremist'
Guardian Unlimited ^ | Wednesday May 31, 2006 | Oliver Burkeman and Jonathan Freedland

Posted on 05/30/2006 9:06:31 PM PDT by Jewels1091

Al Gore has made his sharpest attack yet on the George Bush presidency, describing the current US administration as "a renegade band of rightwing extremists".

In an interview with the Guardian today, the former vice-president calls himself a "recovering politician", but launches into the political fray more explicitly than he has previously done during his high-profile campaigning on the threat of global warming.

Denying that his politics have shifted to the left since he lost the court battle for the 2000 election, Mr Gore says: "If you have a renegade band of rightwing extremists who get hold of power, the whole thing goes to the right."

Yeah, we need him to keep shooting off his mouth with crazy outbursts and outlandish accusations. He WILL be a candidate for Prez in '08. If he beats out Hillary for the nomination, all that he has said and done in the last 8 years will be used against him by the GOP.

This country has gone to the right? On immigration? On spending? On private property rights? On the battle against secularists? Gore is certifiably insane. And he is getting as big as Michael Moore.

It will be fun to watch Hitlery and Gore go at each others throat. Al may end up having a terrible accident, like a plane crash or suicide.

I bumped his width a tad

Need to find a bigger body for algore

They keep PRing his "financial success" but don't mention how his Greenie Funds have tanked the teacher's pension funds!

His links with Google are going to sink him - and cost Google - bigtime

You know what al-Gore, when you claimed you invented the Internet, were the inspiration for Love Story, and exposed Love Canal, you forfeited your right to say anything about anything.

Just in from the blogosphere:

 

AL GORE IN OUTER SPACE

The beverage-spew-inducing line of the day goes to Al Gore for calling pro-illegal alien amnesty, Harriet Miers for Supreme Court-nominating, Medicare entitlement-expanding President Bush a "renegade right-wing extremist."

Sides. Splitting. Oh. Oh. Ouch. Help.

>>>>Wasn't Gore considered somewhat of a conservative, in Democratic circles, when he was a senator?

>>Yep--he was even Pro-Life!

Perhaps so, but going back to 92 and before, when he was still in the Senate, his American Conservative Union voting record was pretty abyssymal, from our perspective. We're talking not that far from Teddy Kennedy, from a voting record standpoint. You can find many other Dem Senators from that era, with much better voting records.

0 (out of 100) in '92
14 in '91
9 in '90
19 in '89
9 in '88
6 in '87
9 in '86
17 in '85

Kennedy in the same years, for comparison:

0 in '92
0 in '91
0 in '90
7 in '89
0 in '88
0 in '87
10 in '86
9 in '85

Why do I think of Porky Pig when Gore says, "renegade, rightwing extremist?"
