We Guarantee Al Gore Will Be Attacked Next Week. We Absolutely Guarantee It.
by Dave Johnson | May 15 2007 -

By Dave Johnson and James Boyce of Smoking Politics

All too often, Democrats are swiftboated, ozoned, attacked and smeared and after the attacks happen, sometimes they respond - sometimes they don't.

We have had enough.

Here's what we know and here's what we're going to do about it.

On Monday, Al Gore has a new book coming out next week, titled, "The Assault On Reason".

Because he is standing up, telling the truth and because he simply is a Democrat and Progressive leader, Al Gore will be smeared mercilessly by the right-wing smear machine. He will be ridiculed, made fun of and mocked. They will tease and make fun of him.

So at Smoking Politics we are going to try to be ready in advance this time. Imagine that - not on the defensive, not surprised at the smear that shows up, not scrambling around trying to figure out what to do about it.

We're going to respond the minute the first attack shows up. We're going to be researching the apparatus that transmits the smear. We're going to explain the mechanism of the smear. We're going to expose those behind the smear. And we're going to launch a pushback against the smear, into the press.

1. That's good news.

Last weekend on Maher the idiot he had on his panel said "the blogosphere is SO angry"...

Damn right we are angry. I think Arianna should have asked the twit WHY HE WASN'T ANGRY?

I'm glad that they are ready to play offense. That's an encouraging sign, imo.

2. Al Gore wrote this book as an American

So perhaps that should be reiterated as well instead of looking to make this another partisan feces throwing contest which will take away from the serious discussion this book should bring about. But I guess that is just too much to expect from the "political" community on any side.

3. Just consider the reality-based community. You can hope all you want,

but I'll bet these writers are correct. We'll see.

5. Oh. I know they are correct

I've been answering their attacks on Mr. Gore for years so I wasn't disputing that. I'm just hoping that we don't once again take their bait and turn this into another partisan feces throwing contest that takes away from the serious issues his book discusses.

4. But Glen Beck says Liberals are upset because they can't push

THEIR Fairness Doctrine. I think the thing is the republicans are getting nervous because they think the Democrats might pass it. Then what would ranters and liars like beck and Fox and rush do.

6. What they will not do:

"TALK ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE BOOK."
