Please, someone, tell Al Gore to shut up

[NeoConned]

I've been flamed for saying this before and I don't expect this time to be any different. Before you get all bent out of shape read the other end of this link:

1. OK, Gore, Shut Up. Now You Shut Up. - n/t

[movonne]

4. Yeah!!!

[Larkspur]

2. I told Al Gore to keep it up!! This is what a real patriot does.

Like a modern day Thomas Paine, Gore tells it like it is.
Gore's speech was another great one

Democracy Itself is in Grave Danger
by Al Gore
American Constitution Society
Georgetown University Law Center

3. Whatever you may think of Gore, he's

still five hundred thousand times better and smarter than that clueless, worthless, hopeless, dumb-as-rocks, drunken frat boy thief who blatantly and deliberately stole the presidency that we have in the WH now. And every word of that speech he gave calling for the resignation of Rice, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, etc., and calling them a disgrace to America, was absolutely correct and he was courageous enough to say it.

5. So who is Perry?

Did notice that he cites the Wash Times and Fox News and can't spell the word "stationery"

6. Because a blogger says something negative

Gore should shut up. Alright, you just believe in that.

Just wondering if Michael Moore or Al Franken is next on your list?

12. Fuck That!

Gore needs to keep on keeping on! Fuck those people who tell him to shut up and give him shit. He was right before the war and he's been right about everything since. Every time they try to paint him as crazy but every single time he's been absolutely correct. Al Gore is the man and we should have his back. Your telling him to shut up is a symptom of the old democratic party and its wimpy milk toast shit. Fuck that Alan Colmes bullshit! Rage on Al!! :toast:

[porphyrian]

19. Heh, heh...

I'm sorry, but the name "HootieMcBoob" appeals to my inner eleven year old.

14. No.

I read the posts and no, no, no. Rock on, Al.

Al won the popular vote in 2000 (and I so love how it pisses RWers off when you remind them). He is intelligent, passionate, courageous, and, above all, correct in the facts in his speeches. If people feel that a passionate delivery of a patriotic speech is "embarrassing," to quote one of the Perry posters, well, they probably aren't much fun in the bedroom either.

There are moles on Perry's website. There are moles on lots of websites, including this one.

[seeker4ever]

15. Wow that Perry guy... what a fucking asshole.

You go take your lessons from that dick wad. I'll listen to Gore. Thanks for the bowel movement.

[sadiesworld]

16. Has it occurred to you that in the lead up to the war...

inspectors were given unimpeded access, they were finding NOTHING, and the lies about uranium from Niger, drones, etc., were unraveling?

We didn't go to war when we did b/c Iraq was a threat, we went b/c it was rapidly becoming clear that they weren't.

Perhaps Gore understands that, do you?

Yes, new info can provide a fresh perspective.

[Bridget Burke]

17. No, Gore needs to keep doing what he's doing.....

Is that really your blog? Hey, your profile says you're in Austin....

Could it be that our very own governor good hair is posting here at DU?

[liberalnurse]

18. I'm proud and supportive of Al Gore's

verbal thrashing of *bush. He can do it and should do it......

[hiphopnation]

20. Are you saying you WANT to be flamed again?

This is a good place to start.

What is this tripe you're feeding us? Care to comment? If not, then you shut up!

Al Gore: Statesman, Patriot, Intellectual...PRESIDENT.

[liberalhistorian]

26. It appears that the OP has

already "shut up", notice his total absence from this thread so far?

[fob]

21. NEVER!! There were many who advised Al to shut DOWN

in florida in 2000. He took it as far as he could, there's no reason for him to shut UP today!

[w13rd0]

22. no

and since you knew you'd be flamed, why make such an idiotic statement? we support Al Gore's right to speak his mind, if you don't like it, move to Saudi Arabia where they share your disdain of dissenters...

[DrWeird]

23. Um, you the hell are you?

28. what's the 'other end of this link" at that blog link?

from the commondreams link posted above ...

and, Al Gore said:

~snip~

"What would Thomas Jefferson think of the curious and discredited argument from our Justice Department that the president may authorize what plainly amounts to the torture of prisoners - and that any law or treaty, which attempts to constrain his treatment of prisoners in time of war is itself a violation of the constitution our founders put together.

What would Benjamin Franklin think of President Bush's assertion that he has the inherent power - even without a declaration of war by the Congress - to launch an invasion of any nation on Earth, at any time he chooses, for any reason he wishes, even if that nation poses no imminent threat to the United States.

How long would it take James Madison to dispose of our current President's recent claim, in Department of Justice legal opinions, that he is no longer subject to the rule of law so long as he is acting in his role as Commander in Chief.

I think it is safe to say that our founders would be genuinely concerned about these recent developments in American democracy and that they would feel that we are now facing a clear and present danger that has the potential to threaten the future of the American experiment.

~snip~

Al Gore, please speak out more often ......

Treason and Corruption are rampant as in no other time in our History; Fascism is creeping into our lives ...

Thank Goodness, he's talking the Founding Principles!

29. By their links shall ye know them:

Why should we care what this Perry guy thinks? A look at his page shows a pretty consistent Bush=Good, Democrats=Bad&Crazy slant, and look at only blogs and think tanks he thinks are worthy of linking to. Not exactly "fair & balanced", unless you speak FOXese:

34. Further info about Perry

He's a Contributing Editor to Watchblog, on their Republicans & Conservatives list.

So again, why should we care what he says? I don't hear him calling for Cheney, DeLay, or any Republicans to shut up.

[SeattleRob]

30. I say go Al!

Al Gore is right on target with his criticisms of the Bush Administration. The right wing has attempted to trash him, without talking about the substance of his criticisms. This particular example has quotes from him in in the past. These quotes are irrelavant because talking about the potential threat of Saddam and possible WMDs is much different than actually committing our fighting forces to invade.

[Pathwalker]

31. QUIT TALKING TO THE DEAD GUY!

Neoconned has already been tombstoned!

[bushisanidiot]

32. Keep it Up, President Gore!!!

and don't ever stop expressing your thoughts on how to build a better america.

You won, we all know it and we will NEVER get over it!

[Fovea]

33. You want him to shut up because he is encouraging

a right wing echo chamber to echo more?

I think that you might consider what is being said on that site.
Wingnut whackiness should encourage, not discourage Gore.
