And Away We Go: As Al Gore's Book Gathers Steam, So Does The Smearing.

And Away We Go: As Al Gore's Book Gathers Steam, So Does The Smearing.


On Thursday Time Magazine put up on its website an advance article of its cover story on Al Gore's new book, with excerpts.

Immediately the right started the character assassination. Just like we predicted, there's not a word about the merits of Gore's arguments. Not a word. Why do you think that is?

MacsMind, Al Gore's assault on our intelligence

But perhaps the greatest fraud is that Al Gore is being presented as some sort of intellectual when in fact even his ex-boss knew him to be an uninformed and downright ignorant boob.

<…>

Riehl World View, The Pot Meets Kettle Lifetime Achievement Ward

He should follow-up with The Audacity of Hypocrisy and toss his hat into the ring for President. The Nutroots have to love this guy.

<…>

A few of our favorites:

There is the simple.

"Al Gore is full of shit."

<…>

The poignant.

"You useless idiots."

more (with links)


This from a bunch of morons who believe the worst president in history is the Decider.

3. This isn't smearing, this is rantings of people who don't like Al Gore
Actual smearing would (will) come in the form of the media and it's "talking points" repeated over and over.

6. Any publicity is good publicity?
How long before most people recognize that opposition from the media should be a full-fledged endorsement for the product/person. “What are they so afraid of? Guess I’ll have to buy the book to find out.”

7.  At this point who cares what they think?
I'm not about to spend more time addressing their usual BS as I am in discussing his book. That is what they want.
