Al Gore....

I have to admit: I LOVE when Al Gore opens his big fat yap and starts carping on the only issue about which he cares (because he's made MILLIONS from fleecing stupid "carbon credit" suckers.....what was it that Ripley said?)....Global Warming.

Not only does Al have the science wrong, but he's WELL known for saying things, making speeches and taking stands that are QUICKLY proven wrong and end up making him look like an even bigger buffoon.

Take, for instance, Hurricane Katrina. There's ol' Al Gore, making a speech to The Sierra Club, burying President Bush. Then....THE VERY NEXT DAY....it's determined that the failure of the levees was due to the fact that they were insufficiently reinforced. THEN it turns out that the REASON they were insuffieciently reinforced was because of a series of lawsuits brought in the late 70's, where "environmental issues" were key to the levees never being reinforced.

So...who brought that lawsuit and eventually won it?

You got it: THE SIERRA CLUB.

Anyway, back to Al....

So, today, he's carping about how Global Warming deniers are today's "racists".

No kidding, folks. Here's some of what Al said:

“I remember, again going back to my early years in the South, when the Civil Rights revolution was unfolding, there were two things that really made an impression on me. My generation watched Bull Connor turning the hose on civil rights demonstrators and we went, ‘Whoa! How gross and evil is that?’ My generation asked old people, ‘Explain to me again why it is okay to discriminate against people because their skin color is different?’ And when they couldn’t really answer that question with integrity, the change really started.”

“Secondly, back to this phrase ‘win the conversation. There came a time when friends or people you work with or people you were in clubs with — you’re much younger than me so you didn’t have to go through this personally — but there came a time when racist comments would come up in the course of the conversation and in years past they were just natural. Then there came a time when people would say, ‘Hey, man why do you talk that way, I mean that is wrong. I don’t go for that so don’t talk that way around me. I just don’t believe that.’ That happened in millions of conversations and slowly the conversation was won.”

“We have to win the conversation on climate."

Unfortunately for Al Gore, there is just one, little problem with his analogy:

If anything, those who deny Global Warming are THE FARTHEST thing from racists during the civil rights movement. Let's set the record straight, folks: BULL CONNOR WAS A DEMOCRAT. In fact, the anti-civil rights movement was composed of DEMOCRATS (the party of racism).

Open your eyes, folks: the Democratic Party, until the death of Senator Robert Byrd, had former Ku Klux Klan chiefs counted among it's ranks.

(And you think the racists are all out now? How about Maxine Waters? How about Loretta Sanchez? Should I list more......?)

No, Al, if anything, those who deny Global Warming are more like the people who FOUGHT AGAINST racism: CONSERVATIVES.

And, btw....on a side note: you won't be winning THIS conversation either, Democrats.

I have to wonder how those who struggled under the tyranny of the Democratic Party; who, by virtue of the color of their skin were relegated to the status of less-than-equal by the party of Al Gore, must feel about him using their struggle to.....make a bunch of money?

Al....that's some pretty shameful stuff....please say more....

Hirota: out.
