As
Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal once posited, the most
traumatic event in recent history for many on the left wasn’t September
11th, 2001, but losing to President Bush the previous year. And
apparently, those closest to the epicenter were driven the furthest
into hysteria.
Al Gore was driven (further) insane when he lost to GWB in 2000, going
from a man who attacked Bush #41 in 1992 for not removing Saddam
Hussein from power, to demonizing Bush #43 for removing Saddam Hussein
from power, and smearing his supporters as “digital brownshirts.”
Gore, whose political career was reborn in 1989, when he made an
about-face from a relatively conservative Democrat in the 1980s to
comparing global warming to “An Ecological Kristallnacht” in a New York
Times op-ed, sold his Current TV channel to Al Jazeera, owned by the
ISIS-funding petro-state Qatar for $500 million at the start of 2013.
With her above Facebook post today, Naomi Wolf, legendary (if perhaps
somewhat apocryphally) for advising Gore in 2000 to switch to earth
tones to bring out his hot-blooded alpha male (no, really) has joined
him in la-la land.
It shouldn’t be all that surprising. In August of 2009, the former
self-described “third wave feminist” thought that the Islamic women
forcing women to cover their faces was totally groovy, and underneath,
the Islamic world was as laid back about sex as say, your average,
Greenwich Village coffee house. (No, really.) Or as Phyllis Chesler
paraphrased Wolf’s essay in Sydney Morning Herald, “The Burqa: Ultimate
Feminist Choice?”
In the fall of 2008, she predicted that if John McCain won, we’d see
the coming of the Palin-Rove Police State. (No, really!) Here’s what
Wolf’s fever-swamp rant at the Huffington Post in September of 2008: [
