Subject: RE: BS: The Tea Party a Terrorist Organization??
As I understand the environmental "whack jobs" as you refer to them, they don't hurt people. They will sometimes destroy property such as whaling vessels or lumber company equipment. I know of no environmental protest group that use weapons to further their cause ala the Tea Party.
Al Gore has an environmentalist axe to grind but he's not really in it for the money.
He may have political motivations for it but it is not a lucrative position that he is taking
whereas the major corporate offenders are only interested in the bottom line and not in the welfare of the public or their customers. Their CEO's make a lot more than Gore ever dreamt of.
Who is really crooked here?
Al Gore may not be the perfect spokesperson for environmental protection but he is head and shoulders above anyone else today who is allowed to be broadcast on the media.
The whole BP oil spill should convince anyone in their right mind of that. If you believe
that chemical dispersants have eaten all the oil and made the ecological problems of the Gulf Coast go away, I have a Bridge in Brooklyn for sale to you.
The Tea Partiers won't and can't have a position on this issue since they are purely a reactionary group who have no solutions to anything. Gore, no matter what you think of him, is pro-active on a cause he believes in. He is being attacked because he is perceived as being a "Liberal", something the reactionary Tea Party can't stand. It's ideological warfare based on ad hominem arguments.
I think that Bobert's thread is appropriate and he has called it correctly.
