I want him in handcuffs.
But being laughed out of his own book-signing would be OK, too.
HEY HEY HEY!
More from the article:
“Justin Mangano, from Australia, was beaming after Al Gore signed his book Tuesday when his star-struck moment was interrupted by a protester being hauled out of the Borders bookstore in the Chicago Loop.
Gore was at the book store promoting the just released “Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis.” Fans were there to get his autograph and opponents came to challenge his message. Members of the group, We Are Change, were the most outspoken of Gore’s naysayers at the former vice president’s appearance at 150 N. State St. Gore’s security guards escorted the protesters from the store.
The We Are Change group contends that Gore’s message of global warming is a hoax, that he is a puppet of a new world order and that he is propagating a eugenics program.
The group claims it is “a citizens based grassroots peace and social justice movement working to reveal the truth behind the events of September 11th, as well as the lies of the government and corporate elite who remain suspect in this crime.”
“We need to wake up to this now, or it’s going to be too late. They want to tax the air we breathe and the meat we eat,” said activist Saad Ali, one of about 30 protesters at the event. ‘There are 30,000 scientists trying to sue this bum,” he screamed as he was escorted from the building.
But Gore’s fans weren’t interested in what the protesters were shouting.
Monika Hinterman, who got Gore to sign her book, said she was impressed that he was paying so much attention to climate change.
“I think he’s trying to make people more aware of the issues that have gone unnoticed for too long,” Hinterman said.
Some who came to meet Gore at the book signing said that while they support free speech, the event was not the best place for a protest.
“If you have a point of view, put some facts and figures to it. Express yourself with support behind it,” said Sabolch Horvat, who carried a signed copy of the book under his arm.
Nicole Lynch bought the book to make up her mind about the science that the protesters questioned. She said she approves of his efforts to get people to take better care of the planet.
“I’m not saying he’s perfect, and I would call him out if I knew he screwed up,” Lynch said. “I’m not afraid to speak my mind.””
There will always be suckers who will give this guy money.
Hundreds of fans + mall security + Al Gore aren’t a match for “about 30” protestors? What a bunch of doofuses!
LOL! There will be no escape for GW frauds, the party is over.

Great— now the MSM will take this group of Truther wackos and insist that anyone opposing global warming must be cut from the same bolt of cloth.
Chicago Sun Times reports on WAC Chicago Al Gore confrontation
Hello Everyone!
We Are Change Chicago had a great confrontation with Al Gore. We had media coverage from ABC, WGN, FOX, Medill Reports, and The Chicago Sun Times. We handed out DVDs and fliers as well. We are working on the video now and will get it out ASAP.
Thanks,

Hilarious. These "issues" are being indoctrinated in every public school child in America; we get it constantly shoved down our throats in the media, movies, etc. Unnoticed, my big toe.
And my other favorite line in the article:
Al Gore's SUV
They chased Al’s SUV with pitch forks and and torches screaming “Burn Witch!” Later on CNN, Al said that climate change heresies will be dealt with by strong counter measures from the Nicene council and the Pope of Anglia will excommunicate all those involved.
same kind of people who I saw give money to a corner “hobo” today who was reading his BLACKBERRY while holding his sign.
I wish I had a camera for that one.
Ignoranus (n): A person who's both stupid and an a**hole. (See illustration above)
Is there any way to sustain fraud charges against this guy and go after some of the $100 million he has taken?
The pot head divinity school flunk-out moron charlatan flees in terror from critics like the girlie-man puke coward that he is.
Absolutely disgusting.
Perhaps if he is cc’d on any of the emails...
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
I swear if this is really from The Onion, there are no words to convey my pissedness!
