Recently Al Gore gave a calm and sober speech in which
he criticized
Bush's war plans and foriegn policies. In that speech
he essentially
repeated what three four-star generals had said that
very day to Congress.
Was he applauded for having the courage to disagree in
public? No. The NEW
YORK POST ran a headline that read, "Al Gore, Wimp".
Fox's Sean Hannity only
commented on his outward appearance, "He's sweating
profusely... He didn't
look Presidential. I didn't see any gravitas, any
leadership. George Will
called the speech "moral infantilism" Charles
Krauthammer called it "a
disgrace". The POST's Micheal Kelly described the
speech as "dishonest,
cheap, low, hollow, wretched, vile, contemptable, a
lie, a disgrace, equal
parts mendacity, viciousness and smarm". (Whew!) This
is the kind of
treatment dissenters can expect in these hyper-
patriotic, right-wing times.
To hear you complain about argumentation by name
calling is absolutely hilarious. Isn't there a saying
about the pot and the kettle calling each other
something?
But back to the topic, here are some recent Gore quotes:
6/28/2000 "...the US remains committed to the overthrow
of President Saddam Hussein."
2/12/2001 Gore is quoted in the liberal (aka
intellectual) NY Times as saying the time had come for
a "final reckoning" with Iraq, that the country is
a "virulent threat in a class by itself" and he
suggested the US should consider ways to oust the
dictator.
Funny his sudden change of heart. Perhaps (to use your
terminology) he has transformed from a conservative to
an INTELLECTUAL.
Keep 'em comin' Dave.
