Message from Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean: " Al Gore is demonstrating exactly the kind of courage and moral clarity that Democrats will bring when we take back Congress and win elections up and down the ballot this year."
In a message posted on the DNC's "Kicking Ass" blog Wednesday, Dean urged his fellow Democrats to keep fighting for action on "global warming."
"Facts are facts," Dean said. "Global warming is happening, and it threatens our very existence." Dean said Al Gore - braving "right wing efforts to silence him" - is giving voice to "one of the great moral challenges of our time."
Dean urged his fellow Democrats to sign an online "letter of thanks" to Al Gore - a letter "letting him know you appreciate his stand."
Gore's name has returned to the headlines in recent weeks, with the publicity surrounding the debut of "An Inconvenient Truth," a movie alleging that human-caused carbon dioxide emissions are causing widespread damage to the planet. Gore narrated the movie, which includes the same predictions of planetary doom that Gore has been warning about for years.
The film's website says that "humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb."
Dean, echoing Gore, said on Wednesday that corporate (Republican!) special interests are preventing the Bush administration from doing anything to stop global warming.
In his message to fellow Democrats, Dean mentioned that insurance companies, fearing losses from "massive hurricanes" are "fleeing coastlines" and charging huge premiums. And he noted that some climate researchers are predicting a "tipping point that sends sea levels rising by 20 feet by the end of the century."
"The inconvenient truth is that global warming exists - and thanks to Al Gore, it's now more likely that America will come together and do something about it," Dean said.
I reckon Hitlery might give it a miss, though...:)
I don't usually agree with howie, but I think he's right on this one. Crazy, foaming-at-the-mouth ideologues, every one of them.
You know? Ol' Howie is right about that.
The unmitigated gaul is only exceeded by the incredible hubris of these people.
Yes, he's a model alright. Full scale, complete with a hollow cavity wooden head.
It's very clear now. This latest global warming hysteria is designed to scare people into voting for Democrats.
The battle lines are being drawn. Howie has declared for the Gore camp.
We'd never try to silence Al Gore. He's way too amusing.
That's exactly the thought that struck me.
Run, Al, run!
Gore: he's a model Dem.
Hollow, plastic and a history of abundant exposure to model cement fumes.
The battle lines are being drawn. Howie has declared for the Gore camp.
Which pretty much guarantees that there is no way in hell that algore will get anywhere near the White House again.
Howie must have been staring longingly at Al's Rolling Stone(?) cover! ;oD
Indeed he is. The lunacy of the left has no match.
Is ALGore a wind up or and double a model.
Does he mean model as in a frozen lifeless statue? Then I agree.
