Al Gore Heckled During Florida Campaign Stop: ‘You’re a Fraud!’

video
» 35 comments

Former Vice President Al Gore was in Tampa, Florida this weekend, campaigning with Democratic Senate candidate Kendrick Meek, when he came upon some skeptics of Gore’s global warming theory. Chant’s of “You’re a fraud!” and shout’s calling global warming a “hoax,” lead by a group that calls themselves “We Are Change,” a grassroots group whose mission is to “reveal the truth behind the events of September 11th, as well as the lies of the government and corporate elite who remain suspect in this crime.”

    Yes, denial is always a good problem-solving methodology.

    Al Gore Getting Rich Spreading Global Warming Hysteria With Media’s Help!!!

    Americans willing to look at the manmade global warming debate with any degree of impartiality and honesty are well aware that those spreading the hysteria have made a lot of money doing so, and stand to gain much more if governments mandate carbon dioxide emissions reductions.

    In fact, just two months ago, ABC News.com estimated soon-to-be-Nobel Laureate Al Gore’s net worth at $100 million, which isn’t bad considering that he was supposedly worth about $1 million when he watched George W. Bush get sworn in as president in January 2001.

    Talk about your get-rich-quick schemes, how would you like to increase your net worth 10,000 percent in less than seven years?

    RK … come on…being a former JAG, you know that the “Justice System” is not always “Just,” but rather a system of deal making. Especially with DA’s, who are elected, that is looking down the road to other possibilities for their political career. Think about it, a Democrat DA, in a very heavily Democratic area (Portland) prosecuting one of their own on a case that was reopened. Al Gore’s case was reopened, so it could closed properly.
    There are DA’s across the country who for political expediency have turned down cases and in some cases, prosecuted innocent people to further their career.

    That said…I do believe we have the best court system in the world.

    “Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.”
    In a speech to be delivered by Barack Obama on or before March 31, 2012, Original quote from LBJ’s, 3/31/68 speech to the nation!

    Indeed, there are many flaws in our justice system, and it is the worse system of justice in the world, save and except all other systems. That being said, the presumption of innocence is inviolate here and elsewhere.

    While we’re on the subject of Global Warming, how about a “THIS EXISTS” article about the UK’s Disgusting “10:10 No Pressure” ad that depicts that anyone who doesn’t take an active role in the Green movement will be violently slaughtered?

  • felixw

    If Al Gore wants credibility for his views and character, he should stop running away from tough questions, and agree to debate the climate change issue in public. His cowardice in hiding from public debate and discussion gives people the impression that he is a fraud.

  • DEFENDER-90

    To you who follow Al Gore a word of wisdom ,beware the prophet seeking a profit.

    I am with you,,,,, where is that? here is some lovely words of wisdom from the founder of these wacko’s/
    Franny Armstrong.

    “What to do with those people, who are together threatening everybody’s existence on this planet? Clearly we don’t really think they should be blown up, that’s just a joke for the mini-movie, but maybe a little amputating would be a good place to start?”

    BTW, Sony is funding these maniacs, so , I think that qualifies as a media story……

    Really, I think that everyone should be provided with blown up children t-shirts and march to the rallies that this idiots plans for October 10th!

  • Cancon2

    Oh yes, this Gore should be blown up too! He can join Jillian Anderson God, I hate EnvoroNazis!

    Come on now, Robert. The Tea Patiers have their share of nuts, but the 9/11 truthers are your nuts. You picked sides, now you own them.

  • Powerslave

    Wow, how many times were the demonstrators asked to leave? So much for championing the first amendment. “Put that camera away!” “Shut up!” “I’m not going to tell you again!” ” We’re going to ask you to leave!”

    All that just for voicing their opinion.

    I think the biggest truth spoken in the video was, “Both parties are controlled!”

  • writer

    Hey, just because Gore rides in limos, and private jets, and has a house that uses as much electricity as a small town, that doesn’t mean he’s a hypocrite.

  • DEFENDER-90

    @Arkansas Steve-”How do you spell buffoon?I spell it Al Gore”. Wrong its Al Hore.

    Another “grassroots” group of unadulerated Right Wing hillbillies & assorted woodchucks. Ignorance begets ignorance. 44M + of functionally illiterate people (6th grade) in the USA – from which the GOP draws heavily as its base.

    Besides, those hillbillies can’t afford private jets.

    Yes. After inventing the internet he realized that the real money was in terrorizing people with false global warming claims.

    The 1st Amendment only applies to the left-wing, e.g. communists, fascists, socialists, marxists, and the so-called “progressives.” If anyone dare call out one of the above, they are labeled intolerant, racists, tyrants, or bullies.

    Here’s what happens when someone tries to ask Al Gore a tough question about climate change at a public event. Security guards escort him out the door.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf-fzVH6v_U

    Since the ClimateGate scandal, Gore has hidden from any setting where he might have to answer questions about the debunked factoids in his fiction-masquerading-as-documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

    Thank God, the young people are finally wising up to what this man really is, he’ll do anything to get attention, even if he has to lie to do it. He has been a phony since Day 1, he’s a rotten husband & I’m so glad he never made President, just hearing him speak makes me sick in the stomach, that silly drawl attempting to talk so high class when he,obviously, is the opposite. I guess after this encounter, he had to run to the massage room and, hopefully, find another dumb young girl to massage his creamy, jelly like body. ugh! Go back to your mansion & use up some more electricity, you hopeless liar!
