Only an Unpatriotic IDIOT would attack Gore for Winning the Nobel Peace Prize

[berni_mccoy]

So the RW Nutjobs are on the scene, discrediting Vice President Gore's accomplishment of winning the Nobel Peace Prize. This must be because they are all UNAMERICAN IDIOTS. Really, what American would not be proud of another American winning the Nobel Peace Prize? Well now we know. Idiots like every FREEPER in existance. Idiots like Rush, Maulkin and Coulter. Idiots like republican strategists coming out in full force on the MSM to discredit his accomplishment: "Oh, we still don't know what Global Warming is..." "How does Global Warming take us closer to peace?" "I'm cereal, this is series, man-bear-pig".

It just goes to show that Republicans aren't fit to be Americans as they have no sense of patriotism and can only think of their side winning. I think the average American will finally stop listening to their idiocy.

1. I just sent that EXACT e-mail message to FOX News! GMTA! :)

[taterguy]

2. I wasn't too thrilled when Kissenger won the Nobel Peace Prize

[WinkyDink]

4. Kissinger. Nor was I, but I never denigrated the AWARD per se.

[percussivemadness]

3. actually I`m not unpatriotic, and I don`t think Gore should have won

Not because of his Global Warming work, which I find to be very noble. This is however, the Nobel Peace Prize,the emphasis being on Peace. I`m afraid, walking away from an election you have won and allowing a psychopathic drunk and a war mongering former ceo of one of the world`s largest polluters, Halliburton, to run the most powerful nation on earth, when the stakes were so high and the consequences of PNAC`s philosophy all too apparent to anyone who bothered to read their insane writings, namely continued war and destruction in the pursuit of immoral profits resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousand of innocents, I fail to see how he qualifies for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Perhaps of he had the courage to run for office and correct the wrongs his inaction in 2000 directly caused, combined with his excellent environmental work, then the award would be justified.

I know this isn`t going to be a popular point of view on this board, so let the flaming commence.

Peace

5. Ridiculous. Yes, EVERYONE KNEW what would occur if Gore acceeded

to the SCOTUS ruling. Sure.
Let's see; what is above the Supreme Court to which he could have appealed? Could it be....NOTHING?

[Virginia Dare]

11. Somewhat rhetorical question..

what would you have done if Gore hadn't accepted the SCOTUS ruling? What if he had called out Bush for stealing it, and set up a shadow government? Was a stolen election worth a civil war? I've pondered this myself a time or two.

[silverojo]

26. The shadow govt. thing is going a bit far

But it's true, Gore shouldn't have smiled and waved and said, "It's time for me to go."

He should have honestly said, "This election was stolen," and gotten to work with the many organizations who began working against election fraud.

It's great that he's become such an advocate of environmentally-friendly living. But none of that will amount to a hill of beans, as long as a corrupt party is allowed to steal election after election, and prevent any real change. :(

6. You have a lot to learn

beyond the rw talking points you spew.

No offense, meant or taken, but you are so far off base i don't know exactly where to begin.

[golddigger]

8. Totally agree with you...

Berni. I thought I was reading a Fox news transcript.



:wtf: :grr: :nuke: :mad:

[LittleClarkie]

7. Inaction, my ass. He fought for over a month

he did the best he could. Even so, I'm sure he feels the weight of not being president and seeing what could have been.

We are to blame. More of us should have campaigned and voted for him.

[kestrel91316]

10. The reason you don't understand THIS:

Climate change >>>> crop failures and rising oceans >>>> widespread famine and millions of refugees >>>> death and misery on a massive scale >>>> war and more deaths

is because your mind has been hermetically sealed shut by the sticky substance spewed by your friends on the right.

You have my sympathy. Truly.

[Critters2]

18. Well said, kestrel! Thank you. nt

[Mutineer]

12. see? That's my issue too!

How did this science thing when him a peace prize? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he won a Nobel but the peace prize? I don't get it. :shrug:

[blondie58]

17. read what Kestrel wrote above you.

People will turn to violence when their environment is changed due to climate change. It will bring about more trouble among the human race than you can ever imagine.

[Critters2]

19. See post # 10 above. nt

[peacetalksforall]

23. It's about humanitarian accomplishments/contributions. Leading a peace

treaty is equal with freeing your people or helping to bring knowledge of our human peril and knowledge of what can be done, plus other related recognitions.

It's not a single word to be taken literally. If you enter it in your search engine and read the first paragraph - you'll get the flavor of it. Teach others.

[peacetalksforall]

20. Look it up - it is given for humanitarian accomplishments/contributions.

[Mike03]

9. Maybe it's terror of the truth

I know some good people who just can't accept the reality of Global Warming, or how quickly it is escalating. They would rather slip into total avoidance than acknowledge that Gore and thousands of other qualified scientists are right. It's either intellectual laziness or abject horror, probably the latter.

[Virginia Dare]

13. I think you're right about that..

it's pretty scary to admit that our planet is changing at a catastrophic rate. The truth is, we really don't know what the repercussions of this are going to be, and exactly how it's going to manifest itself. Scientists of course have come up with some scenarios based on empirical data, but it's really impossible to know. It's much easier to stick your head in the sand and pretend it's not happening.

[Mike03]

15. Some of the stories are so ghastly

I see these headlines in LBN and I'm even afraid to click on them because I know that the natural world and beautiful animals I love are dying by the second. It's so painful.

[silverojo]

30. I don't see why people think climate change is a new thing

I was living in Nebraska when a bizarre weather pattern created a series of tornadoes that decimated the city of Grand Island. Even tornado experts from Japan came over, to analyze the destruction and try to figure out WTH happened.

The weather has been getting screwier and screwier for decades. When I was a 6th grader--in 1976--I remember reading about climate change (and was ridiculed by my teacher when I brought it up in class). We were told in the 1970's to "Give a hoot, don't pollute." And so on, ad infinitum.

Did the influence of Ronald Reagan even manage to brainwash Democrats, to the point where they can't remember when the effects of pollution on the climate were being foretold in the 1970's? Or is it because it didn't happen during the predicted year of 2000, that people stopped taking the warnings seriously?

I applaud all that Gore has done, and feel he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. But he's just the latest, most popular voice on the subject. The effects of pollution on our environment have been known for decades.

[Mike03]

32. I know it's not a new thing

It's just that it's almost too painful to acknowledge, at least for me.

It's hard to explain. I've spent a lot of time over the past decade working with animals, and I just can hardly bear any more bad news about animals, yet it arrives ever single day.

If I didn't block it out at times, I don't think I could make it through this world, because without the precious animals that make life worth living to me, what honestly is the point?

[junkiebrewster]

34. AHHHH, but in the 70's.....

It was all about global COOLING.

Therefore, you and Gore are wrong or something.

(sarcasm thingie)

[malaise]

14. Have you heard a word of congratulations from their moronic

president or his father? Think about it - the man who stole the 2000 elections has not congratulated Al Gore. No class, no graciousness and no shame. Today's responses tell you all you don't already know about who is dividing America.

[silverojo]

31. You make a very important point

We all know the Bushes have no class whatsoever. But this is a new low, even for Dumbya. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Beelzebud]

16. Why call them idiots? That's too much nuance. Just call them Republicans!

:D

[Cha]

21. They showed that a looooooooooong

time ago..this is just them being redundant.

If I hear anyone repeating this shite out in the real world I'm going to tell them to follow the money and check out who has an agenda and who doesn't give a shit for your environment.

Course, the devil worshippers will say it doesn't matter anyway cause their fake god will "fix it".

[Uncle Joe]

22. The only reason these fearful, ignorant, petty, hateful and often wrong people

are put in front of the television cameras is because the corporate media owners and CEOs want them there. The same corporate media could fill the airwaves with Al Gore's friends and supporters on this momentous day, if they wanted to, but this would make it difficult for the corporate media to find a way to trash or belittle Al Gore. Ultimately I believe the corporate media don't want a truly United States, they make their money on divisions.

As at least one of them openly stated prior to the selection of 2000, they want a close race, whenever Al Gore started to pull away from Bush, the corporate media started up a new fresh new fiction or slander regarding Al Gore's credibility.

[peacetalksforall]

24. In 2000, corporation news all preached to us that it was all going to be about

Florida. They orchestrated it in coordination with the right wing. Florida was all set up to steal with Jeb-Katherine-ChoicePoint-the police & sheriffs-plus, election officials. They steered us to Florida just as george leads the lemmings and dick leads the pnacers and barons - to this day.

And as sorrowful as the capitulation was and as much as it was protested, I believe it was the only thing that could be done according to the Constitution. Little did we know - then - that the Constitutions would be defiled, rewritten, ignored, sneered at, avoided, and stomped on by neo-con Federalist Society theft and death facilitators.

[renie408]

25. Look around. It's not JUST 'them'. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

27. And, pay attention to a few posters who are subtly attempting to trash Gore on this magnificent day.

;) Though they may try, nothing can change the fact that Al Gore made me feel proud of my country today. :patriot:

[renie408]

28. And not so subtly. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

29. yes

Is there no idiocy to which the RW won't stoop?
