I already know Gore’s a treasonous piece of shit …

I have a feeling I’m going to stop visiting this site before too long.

Please don’t, Preston. There are readers here who need to be exposed to better perspectives. Even if they don’t agree right away, we can’t allow stuff like this to remain unchallenged.

Like any Bush supporter complaining about a politician’s coziness with the bin Laden family. W is practically a member of the house of Saud. That’s why the bin Laden family was allowed to fly around and leave the country in the aftermath of 9-11.

Oops I realize I just wrote a ‘Goodbye Cruel World’ post. I’m embarrassed.

Don’t be embarrassed. At least you didn’t compound it by calling me a Nazi on your way out the virtual door.

You’re a welcome part of my community, and I appreciate your input and enjoy the verbal sparring and you provide a nice check and balance.

As far as “treasonous” goes…in hindsight, I think it’s border-line over-the-top rhetoric. Giving Mr. Gore a huge benefit of the doubt, he’s still seditious at best and treasonous at worst.

I don’t want Gore apologizing for me or referring to me as one of those people who are apologizing for being American. What may have happened at Abu Grave (which I can never remember how to spell and don’t have the energy to look up) may not have been right and is being punished. Gore…you don’t represent me, you don’t give a s..it about me. If you are not a treason, you are certainly a disgrace to this country. I’m down on my knees thanking God you weren’t my President.

Dianne…you’ve been around here long enough to know that it’s ok to fully spell any and all words. Even the shitty ones.

[...] Perhaps the press should apologize to us for ignoring real stories such as Gore bashing the U.S. from the middle east on the dime of the Bin Laden family, tapes from Saddam that show he had no intention of getting rid of his WMD programs or that that the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) presented Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with the José Martí International Prize earlier this month.

To clarify the post above a ‘Goodbye Cruel World’ diary is a genre on Daily Kos where commenters angrily announce how a recent brouhaha has made it impossible for them to remain on the site. Yet somehow the site has managed to quadruple in size. Some people were famous for posting multiple editions reminding me of Daffy Duck,s minutes- long ‘pre-death soliloquy’ after being splattered with fake blood.

Dan is right- last I remember the Right was outraged by the insinuation in F911 that GWB’s association with the House of Saud and the bin Laden family put him in the pocket of Osama.

I guess the problem with Michael Moore isn’t that he’s a propagandist but that he works for the Left.

I’d still like to know — and think it relative and important to know — how much $$$$$ Gore was paid to give his anti-American rant.

Left by Robbie on February 16th, 2006 at 9:09 am

I imagine it was plenty of money- but I was of the understanding that the right approved of individuals making money- just as George HW Bush has done in Saudi Arabia.

Incidentally, what part of Gore’s speech bothers you?

Left by Preston on February 16th, 2006 at 9:55 am

I’ll have to look up Gore’s speech. I have a feeling I’ll be cheering from the talk here. I find that many people (Bush lovers) think anything not pro-bush is anti-American. Period. It’s not that simple.

Ok, I did read it. If anyone else had said the same thing, would it have mattered as much? Or is it because Al Gore said it?

It was necessary to find some outrage- somewhere- to take the spotlight of Cheney’s actions last week.

Al Gore, a traitor? For talking in a friendly nation, at the expense of a well-known family of entrepreneurs who have regular dealings with an investment firm stocked with Reagan administration veterans and G.H.W. Bush himself?

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | The ex-presidents’ club:

Carlyle has become the thread which indirectly links American military policy in Afghanistan to the personal financial fortunes of its celebrity employees, not least the current president’s father. And, until earlier this month, Carlyle provided another curious link to the Afghan crisis: among the firm’s multi-million-dollar investors were members of the family of Osama bin Laden.

And a link between the hereditary rulers of the UAE — kings, in other words, the idea that the founders of this country were opposed to — couldn’t be more clear.

UAE royals, bin Laden’s saviours:

The Central Intelligence Agency did not target Al Qaeda chief Osama bin laden once as he had the royal family of the United Arab Emirates with him in Afghanistan, the agency’s director, George Tenet, told the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States on Thursday.Had the CIA targeted bin Laden, half the royal family would have been wiped out as well, he said.

Keep huffing that anger if it makes you feel better, but selling the US by the pound doesn’t make us safer.
