'We are facing a massive assault on our liberties' (interview with Al Gore)

If our liberties were really threatened, someone would have shut up this idiot long ago. The fact he can still blather his particular brand of incredible BS shows, more than anything else, that the First Amendment is alive and well.

[WorkingClassFilth]

C'mon! This twerp is a self promoting pseudo-intellectual gasbag. Algore is the same guy who, when visiting Monticello, saw the statues of the founding fathers in a room asked "Who are these guys?"

[patton]

He IS talking about the 2nd, isn't he?

[patton]

Take a smooth bore musket, walk into Congress with it.

It will rapidly become clear to you, what rights you have lost.

[sgtbono2002]

I have a list of names I would add to your fart list.

The list is long and contains many names of people of dubiuous patriotism. Including Bill Clinton.

[KStorm]

Name one right we have lost, ya dope. They love this argument until someone asks them to enumerate the rights lost..

Probably the "right" of liberals to force their perverted beliefs down their enemies' throats, and the right of their enemies to bend over and assume the position. The bastards.

[Jaysun]

AG: Well, they have, but [in America] these rights have been weakened since the Bush-Cheney administration chose to use the war against terror as a basis for both political argument in a partisan context and for an assault on the individual rights, including the right to be free of government eavesdropping.

This is a laughable lie. What interest do President Bush and Vice President Cheney supposedly have in "government eavesdropping"? Do they want to know what you're having for dinner? What your idiotic teenage daughter has to say to her equally idiotic friend? The very idea is absurd.

And the politicization of the war comes from the Democrats' desire to see us hamstrung in Iraq.

[TheCrusader]

These Communists never quit.

[pepperdog]

Who was the man behind the curtain when Gore was running for President? While he was rather strange then he didn't seem totally deranged. His major handler must have gone on to other pastures.

[popdonnelly]

He's right. We're facing a massive assault on our civil liberties by Muslim extremists. Boy, this guy is a nutcase.

[Ludicrous]

We lost the right to have manicure scissors in carry-on bags.
But that wasn't because of a diminishing of the role played by a reasoned debate (whatever that means).

[Intolerant in NJ]

(interview with Al Gore)...we are facing massive assault on our intelligence......

[CaptainK]

Gore and Clinton have no self control over their mouths, whether it's food or idiotic political statements.

[Peter Libra]

I do feel that there is a chance to redeem Al Gore as an American. In the very country that he is able to decry his own native land, freedom is only relative. The various laws that have been passed there,include one that "the truth is no defence". This is to say that, if one tell the truth and it is deemed to be hurtful to a certain group it is a crime.

It is in my native country England, where the refinement of an Orwellian nightmare has come true. One might ask- then why is there no revolt of the masses? The answer is in the profusion of consumer goods and the "Brave New World" as indicated by Aldous Huxley- unbridled sex.

Canada is a slight improvement though. Slander Christianity and it passes. Call Islam a violent religion and one could be destroyed by legal process.

Reading for Mr Gore. (1) 1984: George Orwell. (2) Brave New World: Aldous Huxley (3) Blue Highways: William Least Heat Moon. (4) The Devil and Daniel Webster: Stephen Vincent Benet.

When I hear some RAT talking about "an assault on our liberties", I get very angry.

[caseinpoint]

I'm assuming he was referring to his massive attack on national sovereignty and indiviudal rights and his climate of fear as posited by his environmental emergency alarmism. Any diminution of rights during wartime right now would pale to what he wants to do to "save the earth" from mankind. Hypocrite!

[NickatNite2003]

More Imbecilic blathering from the High Loon...

[CyberAnt]

"... facing a massive assault on our liberties ..."

I see algore is projecting again .. thanks al for warning us what we're up against if your crowd wins the election.
