U.S. leg of Live Earth hits key notes
"Today, more than 2 billion of us have come together in more than 130 countries on all seven continents," said former Vice President Al Gore, the event's organizer. "Times like these demand action," he added, after announcing the 7-Point Pledge that he hoped millions would sign while watching the concert.
However, Etheridge aside, it was nonmusicians at this concert who made the most passionate pleas about demanding action for the environment. "Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist author, president of Waterkeeper Alliance and Robert F. Kennedy's son, who grew hoarse from shouting. "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors."
Primatologist Jane Goodall offered a greeting in chimpanzee language, before saying, "Up in the North the ice is melting, what will it take to melt the ice in the human heart?"

RFK Jr. is a mental case. If a Republican said something like this, it would be front page news all over the world, Congress would pass a resolution of censure, left-beasts would call it a hate crime, and the usual suspects would demand a resignation.
Sounds like the Greenies are fixing to get violent to me.
Sounds like another Kennedy that might meet with ‘The Kennedy Curse’ if he doesn’t be a good boy and tow the line like uncle Teddy.
Do the Kennedy folks come out of the womb thinking they're already President - or maybe even God? Kings of the world? Puffed up. Waaaay too puffed up.
i’m really tired of kennedys.
jfk was a loser,
promoted by hollywood, tv, and the democrap party into a celebrity.
He’s a goofball.
“Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
Gee, you should really speak more respectfully about your Uncle Teddy!
I consider standing up and challenging the global warmer kooks the highest form of patriotism possible. (I swiped that from the ‘RATS). Challenging the global warming pinheads is just another way of challenging an out of control governement.
This guy is so bitter and twisted. A sniveling hissing Rat
I've long wondered what it must be like to know that you're the Kennedy of that generation (Teddy) not worth killing... The enemies of America realize that keeping him alive and in the senate does far more damage to the US than assassinating him.

It takes one to know one.Kennedys are nothing but crooks!!
Words can not describe how much I detest the entire tribe of Kennedys. From Joe Sr on every one has been a worthless bloodsucker draining the life out of this country like a vampire.

What nation are we "aiding"? How will opposition to "Global Climate Change" reforms betray our government or sovereign state?
Robert F. Kennedy Junior is a partisan hack and a liar.
U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3
Article 3 - The Judicial Branch Section 3 - Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
If anything, those who push for the US to be subservient to the Kyoto Protocols and the EUSSR are pushing for the end of our sovereign rule in favor of globalist pressures. And those pressures unfairly target the United States while giving grace to "expanding" industries in China and India.
RFK Jr. is a lying liar living off his uncle's name.
Another Kennedy jerk off opens his mouth ..The elite class who never once , ever , knew what it was to be an average American. Like his scumbag relatives they live in a land of make believe. I spit on that whole family of snobs .
Must be all the heroin he did.
The Left talked about a “Red Scare” and a “Cold War Hysteria”. McCarthy (and the HCUAA from the 1930s-1960s) was right.
However we are now facing a Global Warming Scare that is pure socialist bunk.
Isn’t it ironic how all the LIBERALS have become the Nazis ( there will be NO discussion of Global Warming , we kno wthe truth and that’s final ) Now if they can only pass the fairness doctrine they will have FULL control of the media.
That pic of RFK Jr. looks like he’s channeling the late John Ritter.
A total, blithering idiot.
If his Daddy was alive, he would kick Jr’s ass.
Take a few minutes and read a few pages of comments to this article .... everyone is ranting about these fools. Some of them are hilarious.
No. Ritter was basically a nice guy. RFK jr is a bitter jerk
