“A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference,” Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.

Brende said he joined political opponent Heidi Soerensen of the Socialist Left Party to nominate Gore as well as Canadian Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier before the nomination deadline expired Thursday.

I hope Gore wins too...then we will have to Nobel Peace Prize losers for bookends in American politics.....Carter and Gore. He invented the Internet!

lies die hard in that ring of hell where dwell the ignorant right

Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet --- just another pile of freeper bullroar

but his book and film have helped tremendously in getting the truth about global warming out into the mainstream -- naybe it's why Exxon finally gave up their swift boat effort against science

Remember the one about Iraq and the WMDs? How about the one about Al-Qaeda and Iraq? Or the one involving the statement "In and out, not a moment longer?"

Al Gore is the darling of the politically correct. They have nominated him for an Oscar for his fictional film, An Inconvenient Truty and now have nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize.

If they wish to nominate him for a Nobel Prize shouldn't it be in Science. That seems the most appropriate prize since there is no prize called, the Nobel Darling of the Liberals Prize.

What Albert Gore has done has nothing what-so-ever to do with peace. If a point were to be stretched his actions might be considered in the field of science. Maybe the prize is offered because of the sum total of his work; soliciting illegal campaign contributions, inventing the internet, being the inspiration for the movie, Love Story and showing all Ameriocans how to be distasteful by planting a big, slobbery, wet one on Tipper on national television.

Al Gore won the presidential election of 2000.

[geoffrey]

Al Gore won the presidential election of 2000.

Funny that you think that, reality says otherwise.

[Guthrie]

no, it doesn't

[sharkman]

Al Gore won the presidential election of 2000.

Funny that you think that, reality says otherwise.

For liberals, reality is flexible and U.S. Supreme Court Justices don't count, unless they make rulings you can get behind, like abortion.(The Court ruled you can't have recounts until you get a win.)

in US elections, the SCOTUS doesn't count --- more to the point, they violated their oaths when they ordered the count of votes to stop

For right wing reactionaries, reality is what big brother tells them -- WMD one day spreading Democracy the next, it doesn't matter, the bloodbath continues unabated and only the excuses have changed --- THAT is reality

Funny, but the Florida court that ruled in favour of the recounting seemed to win wide approval from the losers. That court had the wisdom of Solomon, but the Supremes were nasty violators.

It's this hypocrisy that the left wing reactionaries just can't see, and why they resort to name calling and sky is falling crap. But at least the lefties are predictable.

[Frogger43]

The liberals constantly whine about Florida but in their whining they conveniently ignore the fact that it was the SCOF and not the SCOTUS that tried to change the rules in mid-election. They forget that it was the Democrats who tried to keep the men and women who were serving their country overseas from having their absentee ballots counted. They also ignore the fact that the MSM reported the polls closed an hour before they closed in Western Florida, thereby influencing the voting by keeping voters in the historically Republican part of the state from voting.

[Guthrie]

only right wingers are whining in this thread --- it tears them up that Al Gore is nominated for a Nobel Prize, while shrub is nominated for a war crimes trial

[Canadian Blue]

Bush is going to a war crimes trial, never heard that one.

I think people on the far left and far right are both equally retarded. But in anycase, I think Gore deserves to be rewarded the nobel prize for helping educating many of global warming. Global Warming is a real problem, and according to the mainstream scientific community it is as well.

[Guthrie]

no, I think he will do his best to NOT attend

A tribunal to try UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George Bush for war crimes will be convened on Wednesday.

Really, it's no big deal that Gore is nominated, or even if he wins. Just as long as he stays out of the white house.

BTW, I'm curious, what did they nominate him for, his internet invention?

[Guthrie]

he won the White House too, it was a major failure of US democracy that he didn't become president

and only numbnuts still pass around that internet insult lie

[sharkman]

Now I'm confused, I thought I was a right wing reactionary. I can't keep all these names straight! And I thought we figured out how Gore lost the White House already (aside from silly claims like inventing the internet) with the realization that you're only allowed so many recounts before it becomes a kangaroo election South American style. The Supreme Court says so.

you'll have to show me where he made, "silly claims like inventing the internet"

and you'll have to show where The Supreme Court has authority over elections, as well

perhaps you should study American History

Guthrie, this is the post where, when you said SCOTUS had no business interfering in the US election, I mentioned that SCOTUS only became involved after the Florida Court foisted themselves on the issue. Most lefties had no problem when the Florida court ruled in favour of the recounts, they only got riled up when SCOTUS ruled against the repeated recounts. Which is a hypocritical position to take.

As to Gore and the net, thank goodness he made that claim, otherwise he might have won the white house.
