Leftist hate: Gore fans abuse, threaten Gore foes
By DEROY MURDOCK Scripps Howard News Service 2007-04-05 00:00:00
NEW YORK -- The Tennessee Center for Policy Research recently generated headlines when it announced that former Vice President Al Gore's Nashville estate "devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours" of electricity in 2006, "more than 20 times the national average."
This free-market think tank's phones lit up when it analyzed Nashville Electric Service's public records and identified an inconvenient gap between Gore's conservationism and his energy consumption. The research center's one-page press release was greeted with enough megawatts of hatred to power the South.
"I was accused several times of being a 'stupid, redneck bitch,'" recalls Nicole Williams, who fielded numerous calls. "I repeatedly was called a 'whore' and asked 'Whose whore are you?' for three days straight, almost as if those were talking points ... I was shocked by these sexist insults _ basically attacking my gender."
The calls continued beyond Williams' Nashville office.
"I had to change my home number and get an unlisted number," Williams says.
"I got about 10 death threats by phone. I got the 'I'm gonna get you'-type threats more than 100 times ... I worried I would get shot walking to my car."
Williams discovered her obsolete address posted online. "If they could find my old home address, it would not be so hard to find a current one."
Gore's defenders also spewed venomous e-mails. They sent the research center nearly 3,000 Gore-related messages that exhibited the very bigotry the Left routinely denounces. Warning: These offensive, often-vulgar, and occasionally unschooled comments reveal the vitriol behind much of today's "progressive" rhetoric.
_ Many e-mails displayed Dixiephobia _ an intense disdain for the South and Southerners.
"Why don't you all go back to shooting one another across the hollows instead of trying to make people think anyone in Tennessee has an ounce of intelligence?" Roger Miller insisted. "Get your snaggle tooth grins capped and learn to read and write."
"W.T.F. difference would it make if he was (sic) using 1000 times more energy than the average household if it came from clean energy?" Thomas Grinnell wondered. "Don't think about that too much. It will give your southern mullet a headache."
"You really should concentrate on what Southerners do best," D. Hunter advised. "Sodomizing and impregnating little children!"
Christopher LaBarge declared: "I hope you all die slowly and have your hearts and brains trampled to pieces you small-minded, ignorant, backwoods ideologues."
"We should have flattened the South when we had the chance!" wrote Mount Laurel, New Jersey's Robert Dodelin. "If ever you confederates (sic) want to leave the Union please do. We Nothen (sic) states would love to stop having to subsidize you with our tax dollars."
This anti-Southernism mystifies TCPR President Drew Johnson.
"Some people must believe the Mason-Dixon Line runs between our office and Gore's mansion," Johnson says. "No one would call Gore a redneck, but when we uncovered his hypocritical energy use, it somehow made me a sister-dating hillbilly. That's quite amusing, since Gore and I live in Nashville, less than five miles apart."
_ Some e-mails, like Benjamin Greuel's, reflected anti-religious bias: "Go f_k yourselves you neo con, non-secular, bible thumpin, anti-science dumb f_-k pricks."
Similarly, Anthony Black wrote: "You bunch of stupid hick red-necks. I am sure you are quite religious, yet you have no problem destroying His creation with pollution; and, rather than addressing that, you cast dispersions (sic) on Al Gore's home energy use.
_"How about you have a do (sic) humanity a favor and have a stroke," Russ Smith recommended. "You silly metrosexual twit, need some more hi-lites in your hair?"
Another gay-hater wrote: "You guys are the faggiest fags I've ever come across. How do you get any work done, what with all the c_k sucking and such?"
_Two e-mails feature chillingly violent imagery.
"You people are such slime," TJ Williams noted. "You are a total waste of skin and air. Help the environment and jump off a cliff."
Bob Beaver urged: "Find a hole and stick a knife in it."
Such anti-intellectual intimidation reflects the high-octane hate that fuels so much Leftist discourse. Rather than simply argue that Johnson, Williams, and their colleagues are ecologically misguided or misinformed, these bullies call them barefoot, same-sex-loving, Winchester-wielding whores and evangel-yokels. Remember this whenever liberals crow about diversity, tolerance, and open-mindedness.

In Minnesota the hatred is no longer bottled up. BTW, about those “Dixiephobic” statements - People up here actually view the South that way. Especially Texas, home of the eeeeeeevillllllll George W. Bush. Anyone born in Texas is a mental (censored) retard, and anyone who has spent a few years in Texas is brain damaged. I supposedly fall in the latter category (according to Minnesota “progressives”). So what the hell am I doing in Minnesota, I get asked. Just doing the work that Minnesotans WON’T DO!.
If Hitliary, the Vindictive One, becomes President, I become an Israeli.

I keep saying...aggression is the dynamic which powers the leftwing personality disorder known colloquially as 'liberalism'. And hatred is the interpersonal manifestation of unsocialized aggression.
Gore wears a necktie.
What a dumb s***. Al Gore Jr., the blowhard who talks of man made global warming, and his pappy Al Gore Sr. were both Senators for the state of Tennessee. I guess they MUST all be dumb after all. And these dumb s*** greenie weenies are making a god of Gore Jr.
Oh wait, that doesn't match their talking points.
I thought Wired claimed to be a computer magazine. What on Earth are they doing spouting “Climate” cover stories? Why not tackle steroid abuse in professional sports while they are at it?
The Islamic Supremacists are open about their intentions for world domination and subjugation.
Honolulugal and I are doing the POGW pinglist while xcamel is on vacation.
Nothing new. SOP for the LibTards.
Altoast2000 can use 1000 times more energy than the average household? Not according to the clean energy creed -
Appliance efficiency standards that reduce energy consumption...
State Clean Energy Program Activities
Overview
Across the nation, states and local governments are developing policies and programs that integrate energy efficiency, renewable energy, and clean distributed generation into a clean, low-cost, reliable energy system for their businesses and residents. They are adopting these measures because they reduce emissions of air pollution and greenhouse gases, save customers money, promote economic development, and create jobs. States are adopting policies and programs such as:
- Appliance efficiency standards that reduce energy consumption and therefore decrease the cost of operating appliances and equipment
- Improving energy performance in residential and commercial buildings through revised building codes and improved building design, and operation practices Setting electricity portfolio requirements for renewable energy and combined heat and power (CHP) resources and technology
- Removing obstacles to advance high-efficiency, clean distributed generation systems through the development of new electricity market rules
- Establishing funding for cost-effective energy efficiency programs

You’re so right. CO2 is really the earth’s great conveyor belt of life. Animals, humans included, oxidize carbon into CO2 and discharge it into the atmosphere. Plants absorb it, break it down into carbon and oxygen, use the carbon and hydrogen from water to build their structures, and discharge the 02 into the atmosphere for animals to use. All plant and animal life on earth would be imopossible without it.
We here in Tennessee did something really great in ‘06 that the rest of the nation didn’t: we held the line and stopped the DemonRats in their tracks.
Nice photoshop job...
or is that REAL?
This is their standard MO when they don’t have a leg to stand on-
attack a person’s physical appearance and sexuality and when that fails, threatne bodily harm.
It’s amazing how these arrogant, ignorant and condescending people have the nerve to call anyone ignorant (pot/kettle/black).
Their blind hatred betrays their ignorance. Does it surprise anyone that these people sympathize w/ tyrants and dictators who enslave their people and punish political dissent?!?! I wonder how many of them own a Che t-shirt.
Good for you. They need to know that “ might will make right” and we know they are really afraid.
I’ve always thought that they really fear the combination of mental and physical capacity , since most of their confrontations are conducted on the mental side.
If you do ever resort to the physical throw one for me.....
