BubberMiley Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 You haven't articulated why he's a hypocrite. It makes no sense if it's for "taking oil money" because, as I've said, it's not "oil money" anymore if he took it. It's really just a clumsy attempt at character assassination because that's the only way you feel you can win a climate change debate. All other attempts have failed miserably.

It makes no sense if it's for "taking oil money" because, as I've said, it's not "oil money" anymore if he took it. Huh? It's not oil money? Of course it was. He sold his network to oil interests. To big oil. You can make all of the excuses you want. You don't even have to listen to me. Listen to Jon Stewart, or many other mainstream media that have asked him serious questions about his decision. Quote
BubberMiley Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Huh? It's not oil money? Of course it was. But it's not anymore. He prevented it from being invested in expanding pipelines. How is that hypocritical? Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
Shady Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 But it's not anymore. He prevented it from being invested in expanding pipelines. How is that hypocritical? Good point. If that's the case, he should have taken money from a Columbian drug lord. He could have prevented that money from being invested in cocain and such. Quote

WWWTT Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Not for being a capitalist, but for being a complete and utter hypocrite. As have many other people, including Jon Stewart, etc. Is that what this is all about? I could be wrong,but the impression I got from Gore is that the dependancy on fossil fuels should be reduced and cleaner renewable energy should be persued.Not a total stop.

Pliny Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 No...who ever took Al Gore seriously to begin with ? LOL Good one! It looks as though a few posters here have. Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.
sharkman Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 Is anybody else disappointed with how this sale is being rationalized by the seller ? I am. Nice of you to call a spade a spade. Gore is hypocritical on this one and that he can't see it shows he is not even a true believer environmentalist. Quote
waldo Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 Nice of you to call a spade a spade. Gore is hypocritical on this one and that he can't see it shows he is not even a true believer environmentalist. let's follow the/your logic: - the TV network/channel, Al Jazeera, is not controlled by the Qatar government... Al Jazeera does receive funding from the Qatar government, ergo the owners of Current TV shouldn't consider selling it to Al Jazeera - the TV network/channel, CBC, is not controlled by the Canadian government... CBC does receive funding from the Canadian government, ergo the owners of Current TV shouldn't consider selling it to CBC the word was Current TV was on it's 'last legs' and there weren't a lot of buyers out there - it simply was unable to compete financially with the big networks. Apparently, all the Gore haters would have preferred Current TV fold rather than have it's staff/shareholders better positioned. From the standpoint of climate coverage, Al Jazeera has a strong track record of extensive and leading coverage among any networks... does not matter to the Gore haters! Quote
jbg Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 No...who ever took Al Gore seriously to begin with ? Apparently not even Tipper. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
