UPDATE AT END OF POST: Video of the protest prior to Gore's speech!

Nobel Laureate Al Gore was heckled during a global warming speech he gave Saturday in Boca Raton, Florida.

Addressing a crowd of a thousand people at the Mizner Park Amphitheater, Gore was repeatedly booed by about 200 protesters stationed outside the open-air facility.

As reported by the Sun Sentinel Saturday (h/t NBer Blonde):

Stationed outside the Mizner Park Amphitheater, the protesters jeered at Gore as he took the podium and at those walking into the open-air venue to listen to the speech.

"This is the most dangerous crisis we've ever faced," Gore said of climate change. He spoke over a chorus of boos from protesters, who were monitored by at least a dozen uniformed city police officers.

Many of the protesters were with the groups Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow and South Florida Tea Party, the latter of which feels that Gore's views will eventually lead to increased taxes and flawed business legislation.

The protesters carried drums, bullhorns and posters. One read "Practice what you preach," accusing Gore of not living a green lifestyle. Another poster read "The masses follow the asses," depicting the protesters' opinion that Gore's message is not backed by scientific evidence.

I'm verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

Gore won't hear them . . .

. . . he's tone-deaf to criticism.   He won't even debate the scientific data.  Gore pontificates from his green-altar, and his worshippers obey.

Geez get a grip!

"The vast majority of scientists agree with glob all worming"?    Not hardly dilbert.....better start reading again..instead of listening to that maggot gore!  The truth is, they are saying as the did in the 90's that we are heading for an ice age lol......funny, China having the worst snow for many years as are many places in the world and a few idiots still believe gore......unbelievable!!!

The long and the short of

The long and the short of it is, so what?  AlBore is going to continue to make millions, maybe billions on this bogus and fraudulent scheme.  And the so-called, "massess follow the assess" have put enough legislative clout into the hands of these socialists that it doesnt matter if there were even millions booing at this speech. 

Like socialized medicine; crap and tax will pass - eventually. 

Get used to it conservatives - if you think the government owns you now - wait until these socialist legislative initiatives pass - you'll be working until October or November for the government and the rest of you hard earned money will be subject to a very limited set of uses. 

I guess you could call that verklempt . . .  

Why wait?

Limited set of uses

It's already started.

  1. California Proposes Ban on Energy-Hogging HDTVs Starting in 2011
  2. California's glazing and reflectance laws will likely ban black cars starting in 2012
  3. Plastic shopping bags banned in Fairfax, CA.
  4. California high schools no longer permitted to sell soda
  5. New York's Dept of Education bans bake sales -- to limit how much sugar and fat students put in their bellies
  6. New Hampshire hospital bans fried food because it's "bad for you"
  7. Colorado bans the Bible -- but lets anyone go to any public bathroom, even if his "physical appearance" doesn't match the bathroom's "men or women" sign.

... and so on.

The masses follow the

The masses follow the asses. Got to love that. How true. Also true that he doesn't practice what he preaches. But, that can be said of any liberal Dim.

Hey Al, the village misses its idiot. Please go home.

"Liberals"

The protests should continue. However, it won't change Algore anymore than anything will change B.H. Obama. These are committed ideologues who are stubborn mules. Everyone knows someone like them: immature, with low intelligence-- too stupid to open their minds, too selfish to respect the views of their betters. Dull. Modern "liberals". My dog has more ability to change his behavior.

NEVER, NEVER trust a "liberal"

Booo!  Boooo!  Boooooo!

Booo!  Boooo!  Boooooo!

Call the liar Al Gore out

Force him to debate the facts ... His stupid polar bear taunt was totally untrue. Hunting is what was killing the polar bears, so if they are so endangered why does Canada issue 800 licenses a year for taking? Polar bears are nothing more than brown bears turned white so they can more easily hide from the seals.

Dollars to donuts Gore was

Dollars to donuts Gore was pointing at the protesters and delivering his usual tripe like " those are the same people that think the moon landing was staged on a movie set in Arizona" blah blah blah "look, it's the Flat Earth Society" blah blah blah "Holocaust deniers" blah blah blah...

  I have heard of him

 

I have heard of him saying things like that ...but isn't the left that belive that ????

 

God help you if you try to be civil and give and FYI about grammar or spelling on this site...the backlash could kill you

A look at a few good signs

Not exactly heart stopping video but here's video none-the-less of the event.

Thanks for the video

I hope the protests continue wherever the Goreacle shows up.

I suspect from the video that the crowd may have been a few more than 200 protestors the mullet wrapper quoted.

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Bathed, Well

Bathed,

Well dressed,

Coherent logic driven messages

Virtually no profanity,

THe press will not allow that it even happened, or will note a paucity of selected minorities.

Even so, our protesters are better than their protestors and that probably drives them WILD.

 

BD

I'd have been there had I known.  It's just up the road.

But you are absolutely correct.  They can't stand it. 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

I thought you were describing Al

Until I got to the third line.

By the fourth line, I knew you were really describing SEIU and ACORN.

 

oh good

oh good-- nice to see results from a call that Alex Jones had on his show-- someone from that area called him earlier in the week to alert the public about the event, and AJ commented that everyone there should show up to protest AG's presence there-- sweet! Of course, AG's strategy will now be to go to "closed door" events-- everyone keep their eyes and ears peeled and post updates to the main forum here--

I wish I could have been there

That's the kind of release we freedom-lovers need - to embarrass the idiots who follow these tyrants - Algore, Obama, Piglosi, Reid . . .

I bet that was a blast!

Re Fat Al

I saw Fat Al on TV yesterday and he looked radically different. What has happened to him? Has he lost weight, had a facelift, had botox, a mastectomy? What?

All of the above?

Maybe he's just hanging with older, fatter people, so he looks younger and less fat in comparison?

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Willie,

On a number of occasions he has had so much makeup on, he looked like a kabuki player - right down to the red spots on his cheeks. You're right, though, he has a waxy look about him - like he's been preserved or embalmed. 

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

This is the most dangerous crisis we've ever faced," Gore said

Sales People, Got to have a catchy punch line.

Sell the world carbon,  No carbon credits!

Been done before algore... Tulips

Think blackouts won't happen here, think again..

Screw nuclear

Shut down, will it come on line soon?

No drilling for oil, no coal burning, 

Then there is the iranian nuk issues.. 

The credit card is maxed out, and libs are again taking a vacation from history.

 

brown out / black out music...

How stoopid are those protesters?

1. How can people possibly argue against the vast majority of scientists who support global warming? If all are for it, who can be against it? These protesters are stupid, and what's more amazing is that they're well-off and, presumably, well-educated. I just don't understand how grown people can be mesmerized by Beck's beck and call, by Reilly, by Palin (who just wants to make more money from the Alaska Pipeline), and those other lip-flappers. This is what's called the "Denier Cri." You can look it up.

2. What's more, instead of opposing global warming, they're adding to it! All that yelling sets up unexpected vibrational currents in the atmosphere, which, when combined with the unseasonably warm weather, produce micro-vortices at the molecular level of the near-surface atmosphere, magnifying the Al-lebedo effect, which increases temperatures by reradiating heat off the CO2 molecules harnessed in the mini-vortices. This causes many small, highly localized regions of increased planetoidal temperature spikes, which added together can or may significantly increase the deviant outliers in the AGW curves. No, seriously. I read this on the Internet.

3. There's a petition that demands that global warming be recognized by governments around the globe (where the warming it taking place). It's on the Anthropogenic Causes Of Radiant Nature website, co-sponsored by Sequestered Energy Initiatives Universal, known by their acronym ACORN-SEIU. 

"This is the most dangerous

"This is the most dangerous crisis we've ever faced," so sayeth the prophet of stupidity.

Yeah al, the truth getting out through the activities of those banned from your comedy acts will definitely be a crisis for your livelyhood.

The more people are exposed to the fact that you refuse to debate anybody, even a highschool girl because she has more facts than you is dangerous, and deadly, to your goals.

Hey Gore,

what was your mode of transportation?
