In March 2000 Rolling Stone
magazine agreed to run this Al Gore with-airbrushed-man-package
cover. Itwas designed to counter his image as a weak, technocrat
pussy. Someone evidently thought that by showing he was capable
of achieveing an erection, women voters would flock to him. I'm
not making any of this up- it's how they think.
Fortunately, it only added to the derision being heaped on this, but for the love of God,
almost President of the United States. This month Rolling
Stone again attempts to airbrush this insufferable twit.
This time, however, we are people who only pay
attention to politically agreeable news, and ignore any facts that
don't square with preconceived notions. It's how people like Gore
survive. Still, it's worthwhile to make the attempt, and American Thinker does the job, if anybody cares.
| “ | Gore's Deceptive Rolling Stone Interview
In case any doubt remains as to who deserves the title of undisputed
Globaloney Champion of the World, Al Gore's Rolling Stone interview
should put the question to rest.
Interviewed in the magazine's third 40th Anniversary Issue of the year, self-proclaimed planet savior Al Gore warns that:
"It is a mistake to think of the Climate Crisis as
one in a list of issues that will define our future. It is the
issue. Everything else must be viewed through that lens."
That's right -- The issue. Not the all too real, ongoing struggle
against radical Islamic madmen. Not nuclear proliferation. Not
even the truly apocalyptic potential fusion of the two, a prospect
which recent events in Pakistan have chillingly served to advance.
No - the issue, insists Gore, is his completely conjectural Climate Crisis.
As though to support such an absurd declaration, he then offered these keen observations:
"The north polar ice cap is melting, the fires are
burning, the sea level is rising, living species are going
extinct. These and many other manifestations, including half the
U.S. being in drought last year, are visible to the naked eye. We
have got to recognize that even though it's never happened before, it
is happening right now." [my emphasis]
Now, virtually every claim in his first two sentences is technically
truthful. Until, that is, augmented by the catastrophe-implying
qualification of the third. And it is just that dishonest
inference -- that these occurrences are without precedent -- that
exposes the true measure of this man in oh so many ways.
So, with apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, let me count the ways.
