Reason usurped by blissful ignorance (Gore slags US)

The Australian ^ | 2 June 2007 | Al "The Loser" Gore

[Aussie Dasher]

I continue to be amazed how much the Left enjoys attacking its own nation!

[proudmilitarymrs]

Well, ya gotta forgive the ‘algore’, his father and senator byrd served together in the kkk, don’t ya know

that’s much more honorable than anything this nation could stand for

sarcasm intended!!

sheesh, whatta creep!

[PeaceBeWithYou]

That's not why they were silent. They were silent because just a year or two before, when clinton was President and they knew he would not go after Saddam, they had strongly backed doing so.

That is why they were silent.

[VRW Conspirator]

"This chamber is, for the most part, silent on the subject of Senator Robert Byrd being a former KKK member: ominously, dreadfully silent. There is no debate, no discussion, no attempt to lay out for the nation the pros and cons of this particular war against full fledged racists. There is nothing. We stand passively mute in the US Senate and wonder why do we tolerate a former KKK member yet rip Trent Lott to shreads for a minor league blooper."

"What has happened to our country?" People are trying to figure out what has gone wrong in our democracy and how we can fix it.

I am asking the same thing, but for completely different reasons than algore is.

[kingu]

They were silent, Mr. Gore, because every Democrat in the Senate had called upon President Clinton to send ground troops into Iraq. They were silent because it was the right thing to do, and guess what, we won.

Sorry, I forget, when you’re a party of losers, winning is losing.

[P-40]

Robert Byrd of West Virginia, stood on the Senate floor and said: "This chamber is, for the most part, silent: ominously, dreadfully silent.

When the Grand Dragon speaks, aren't the rest of the Klan supposed to be silent?

[ClaireSolt]

This is the same guy who emotionally claimed that the planet has a fever, right?

[expatpat]

"Why do reason, logic and truth seem to play a sharply diminished role in the way America now makes important decisions?"

Because the libs operate on "feelings" and emotions, instead of facts and rationality.

[beethovenfan]

Gee, Al, I guess there was “no controlling legal authority”.

[Rembrandt]

“This is the same guy who emotionally claimed that the planet has a fever, right?”

---

You mean, the same guy that “Love Story” was written about? The same guy who discovered the Love Canal problem in New York? The same guy who invented the internet?

Yeah, this is that guy.

[Valin]

And to think he came within 300(?) votes of becoming President.

[PeterFinn]

I continue to be amazed how much the Left enjoys attacking its own nation!

I'm still reeling from Bush's attack on conservatives.

"This chamber is, for the most part, silent: ominously, dreadfully silent. There is no debate, no discussion, no attempt to lay out for the nation the pros and cons of this particular war. There is nothing. We stand passively mute in the US Senate."

What you have to understand is what little brain mass Byrd was born with has gone down after all his years. I guess wearing that sheet under the hot sun speeded up the process.

[goldstategop]

Algore is whiney. No solutions just a lot of finger-pointing. IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!

Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

[blackbart.223]

"Algore is whiney."

The little turd will never get over the fact that he didn't get elected. Thank God for the republic he didn't.

[GladesGuru]

Ah, one truly beautiful part of history is the role that FR and a handful of FReepers played in preventing the Dade County Vote Cook-In from achieving it’s usual success.

[Valin]

Let’s also remember who showed up early on scene...Bob Dole.

[AFPhys]

Yup... at that time, FR had real clout. The Dade County chad count was such a threat to this country - we’re really lucky to have escaped the disaster of algore in 2000.

Dissing America in The Australian?
Al Gore is having a “Dixie Chicks moment” here.
