gc1765 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Posted May 27, 2007 Don't you know double speak when you see it? An over rep of factual presentation is a misrepresentation of the facts and therefore the truth. Hey, whatever floats your boat. sharkman is a brillant poster sharkman is a brilliant poster sharkman is a brilliant poster sharkman is a brillant poster sharkman is a brilliant poster sharkman is a brilliant poster Would you call that a lie, or an over-representation of facts? Or both?

We need to keep September 11 in perspective, especially because the ten thousand daily deaths are preventable. - Jeffrey Sachs (from his book "The End of Poverty")

Actually I see it more like this. His fear monger was an attempt to hide the truth behind a veil of lies. Quote

Figleaf Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 It makes me shudder to think of what disasters awaited the Western world had Gore gotten into the White House and been faced with 9/11. At least we can be thankful for that. That makes no sense. How would PNAC have created 9/11 without control of the presidency? Quote

Figleaf Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 When Gore called his book "The Assault on Reason", he might have been thinking of certain posters here. Quote
Remiel Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I was wondering if, after five pages, you guys could do something really crazy, like talk about the topic of the book in the original post. Quote
stignasty Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Posted May 28, 2007 Gore quotes we will always remember: "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it" --Al Gore, former VP "We are ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur." --Al Gore, former VP The first quote was from MAD magazine, making fun of Dan Quayle. The second quote was Dan Quayle's. http://www.snopes.com/quotes/quayle.htm Quote "It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians." - Stephen Harper
B. Max Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 When Gore called his book "The Assault on Reason", he might have been thinking of certain posters here. Al Gore is an assault on just about everything including reason. Quote
JerrySeinfeld Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Democracy in trouble, Gore says in bookLast Updated: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 | 1:10 PM ET CBC Arts Al Gore, the former U.S. vice-president who has devoted the last few years to protecting the environment, has turned his attention to saving the American political system. Gore released a new book on Tuesday, The Assault on Reason, which describes U.S. politics as a rigged game that suppresses honesty and rewards deception. http://www.cbc.ca/arts/books/story/2007/05/22/gore-book.html HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can't stop laughing. A funny man once said "Seriousness is stupidity sent to college". Al Gore takes himself WAY too seriously. This is a common trait of those on the left. Step 1: Adopt a position. This position has to be on a really, REALLY big issue. Too big for really anybody to do anything about it. And it has to be kind of abstract so no one can prove how fucked up you really are. The more it consumes all of your time and prevents you from doing anything really tangible and productive, the further on the left you are likely to be. Step 2: The issue has to be ultra-global and something that is disguised as an attempt to save the world. (note the word ATTEMPT - because most of these gurus never actually save anythign other than their own sense of worth). Step 3: Step two is necessary for step 3 to occur: since you're saving the world, anyone who disagrees with you is evil and probably a nazi, or a racist at least - and definitely "extreme right wing" (how many times do you hear that term? ever notice it's rarely used to describe the extreme left?) The great thing about this approach is that you never actualyl have to do or produce anything and yet, just be doing step 1, you're automatically better than the unwashed masses. I guess that's what makes the bearded "unemployed" down at the rally-du-jour so much better than the rest of us. Rally on, Al. Rally on. The bearded ones are with you. Quote

wolfd Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 Does anyone think that Gore might be thinking about a run for President ? I believe that's exactly what he's doing. Even though he has said he won't run, he has not yet categorically stated he will not run under any circumstances. At the present time he is in no rush, he can save a lot of money by waiting on the sidelines waiting for Hillary or Barack to drop the ball. Quote
