So what happens when the world's worst person agrees with you on a contentious issue?
Well, it should make you reconsider your view, on said contentious issue.
You'd think that, anyway.
Take Osama bin Laden, who, in a very eloquent and articulate message just released on audiotape, warns us of the dangers of global warming - blaming the US and other industrialized countries for rising temperatures. He says, the only way to stop climate change, is to employ drastic solutions to help bring our economy to a halt. He added that the world should boycott American products, and have more sex with goats.
Now what's entertaining about this latest message isn't that Osama wants to have sex with goats (we knew that already), but how his environmental message fits so seamlessly with all that relentless blather heard at the Copenhagen climate conference.
My God, he could have been an advisor on "An Inconvenient Truth," a featured blogger at the Huffington Post, or command the midnight slot on MSNBC (he'd get better ratings). His opinions so perfectly reflect those entities, you'd think he'd be a natural choice for the Media Matter's advisory board.
And yes, I believe they have an opening – and you know they're okay with the goat thing.
Anyway, when a person finds out that a mass murderer shares his beliefs, shouldn't he then rethink his beliefs? Shouldn't Al Gore finally admit that his extreme climate change dogma is more anti-human than pro-planet - when the man responsible for killing thousands of innocent people turns out to be a big fan?
Eh.
Maybe that truth is too inconvenient.
And if you disagree with me, you're probably a racist pedophile who doesn't recycle.
Even the reprehensible, humorless partisan stooge Seth Meyer worked in a “joke” linking Al Gore to bin Laden. And yes, I have sworn off SNL at least twice. ;’) I watched the episode of the 30th, and literally never cracked a smile throughout; partway through Weekend Update I’d had enough.
