Boy the trolls are out in force since this Al Gore thing came out
I nailed one to the wall yesterday...

Genius troll: The Purchasing Offsets thing is what rich limousine liberals do to cover up the fact that they whore up all the carbon in one day that a family would use in a week. Some of us ride bicycles around town and buddy up or just walk to help out but some people from the lucky gene club need to ride in private jets and avoid the masses in commercial airlines. I think they pay some dudes with an inordinate fear of ICE officers to plant shrubs or something in their gardens to assuage their guilt. I hope this helps.
Everyday brings us a little closer to economic and social justice!




My response. Yes, and rich limousine republicans who whore up all the carbon. in one day that a family would use up in a week, instead of trying to offset it, bring their rich scumbag buddies(who have since been arrested for stealing their employees pensions) into the White House to decide how to divy up all the money they are fleecing from the ignorant fucking freepers who voted them into office. Welcome to DU.

3. No doubt....

4. apparently the troll was listening to coultergeist--who spewed very much the same nonsense, having,
as KO said, emerged from her winter hibernation. don't you just LOVE the little sheeples? (the answer to that lies in a W. C. Fields observation about children.)

7. This is bullshit and will not work
I said it when Edwards' house came out, every Democratic leader needed to get their butts in gear and green their homes. 100%. No excuses. You cannot run around the country yelling at poor people to stop shopping a Walmart, then turn around and live like kings and write a check rather than make essential changes.

11. Gore's house IS green, but that doesn't stop the GOP from lying about it.

18. 100%
They need to open it up and do a piece with Diane Sawyer. They need to show that they've done all the solar on the home itself, to reduce usage, everything possible. That's the way to answer the charges, the same as with the Edwards. If the planet is really at risk, then its only logical that those with money would be doing everything possible to make changes. Reducing AND spending as much as possible on carbon credits.

20. Keith should interview him
KO would be objective and honest, and let Al say what needs to be said.

21. People need to SEE the house
They need to see all the things that can be done to green a home or office building. Images last forever. This is not only easy to refute, but a benefit to everybody in the country in the process.

8. They Sure Are
It's becoming like stepping on roaches. Didn't see yours, but there was one in LBN dumping on AG yesterday, another just got TS'd in GD and who knows where else.

10. Yep...fear will do that
When in fact their time would be better spent convincing "their own" that their candidates aren't as lame as they appear to be. :evilgrin:

14. It's the hypocracy!
Which, humorously enough, is a slang term for a democracy run by hypocrites.

16. The last one immolated itself in a blaze of glory.
But the mods were quick with their super soakers.

22. In a way, the troll was right about one thing:
"Everyday brings us a little closer to economic and social justice!"

As of today, Bush has 691 days left in office (assuming his sorry ass doesn't get impeached first).
