Gore Compares Global Warming Debate to Civil Rights Movement
As NewsBusters previously reported, a climate conference is taking place this weekend in Washington, D.C., where thousands of youth activists are sadly being brainwashed by the likes of Obama's former green jobs czar Van Jones and members of the International Socialists Organization.
Giving one of the keynote speeches Friday evening was Nobel laureate Al Gore who told attendees that the fight against global warming is like the Civil Rights movement of the '60s (video follows with transcript and commentary):
AL GORE: I remember when I was young, a young teenager growing up part of the time in the South, and I remember when my generation saw the fire hoses being turned on African-Americans and all of the resistance to the Civil Rights movement. And young people asked their parents in that era, “Explain to me again why it’s okay to have legal discrimination on the basis of skin color.” And when they could not answer that moral question coming straight from the conscience of young people, that’s when the laws began to change.
And you need to ask, “Tell me again why it’s alright to put 90 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every 24 hours, 20 percent of it will still be there in 20,000 years from now.” You need to ask that question and other related questions. Don’t they see the evidence? Don’t they hear what the scientists are saying? Do they actually believe this line from the large carbon polluters that the scientists are making this up, committing fraud in order to get research grants?
Give me a break. They are trying to kill us, too.
Yep. The millions of people around the world that don't believe this myth - including me! - are intentionally trying to kill off civilization as they know it.
This is what a former Vice President tells thousands of young people just months after the tragic shootings in Tucson.
So much for toning down the rhetoric.
As for this silly comparison to Civil Rights, this isn't the first time he's done it. He did it while speaking at an ECO:nomics summit in March 2009 and again the following month while testifying before Congress.
It was preposterous then, and it's preposterous now.

. . . but Al Gore Sr. certainly was no champion of desegregation. When the family travelled from Washington DC to their tobacco plantation in Tennessee, the family's black maid had to wait in the car while the family ate in segregated resaurants.
And while Gore Jr. makes vague references to growing up partly in the South, he grew up in a DC hotel and attended prestigious St. Albans prep school.
Gore has always been and remains a fraud.
→ KKK doesn't matter
Submitted by Cool Arrow on Sat, 04/16/2011 - 9:43pm.
What does matter is that Al JR,. during the Presidential debates, stated that his father was a champion of Civil Rights.
History, of course, proves his daddy was exceedingly less than a "champion", thus opening the door for speculation that Al Gore Jr. will make fools of an entire ethnic group in order to deify his daddy.
Now, what do you call a person who uses the plight of black people to lionize his own family pedigree?
I'm pretty sure that makes Al Jr. a racist also.
That's pure horsesh!t...

The Gores lived in our Congressional district. Calling Al Gore, Sr. a champion for desegregation is a stretch, but to the racists and hardcore segregationists, he was known as a "nigger lover"--and the KKK charge is absolutely laughable.
Al Jr. visted my dad's newspaper office many times, and my father, a conservative Republican, got his office manager's son a job on Gore's staff. I can't speak with first or second-hand knowledge about Gore in recent years, but I can about the early years of his political career, and he was no fraud.

Of a time (early 90's, like 90 or 91), when the talk was of the "hole in the ozone layer", and the evils of CFC's (chloroflourocarbons), and how the govt. was outlawing them. I remember thinking then that it was a scam, (ripe old age of 18 or 19 or so).
I had been certified in HVAC at that time, so I was skeptical even then. I figgered that the govt. wanted an extra 100 million or so, (back then 100 million was big number).
Now I see nothing about the "hole in the ozone" and CO2 is now the evil gas we are responsible for. Gore has increased his net worth ten fold, and the warming alarmists have found their holy grail in CO2.
Yet hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, yes even water vapor would seem to be better candidates for the cause of "greenhouse gas effect". Wonder why they haven't been singled out.
Oh yeah, you can't put a stanglehold on manufacturing by regulating them, and you can't make billions, (soon to be a small number under the current administration), by trading them.
And yes, Al jr. has always been a fraud. Remember how he stood for extraordinary rendition when VP? Google "Hell yes it's illegal. Now go grab his ass".

Submitted by Jer on Mon, 04/18/2011 - 11:11am.
I was actually referring to Gore's "extraordinary rendition" comment which hardly convicts him as a life-long fraud. There are actions taken and statements made--which may be suggestive of political expediency or represent flip-flops or appear philosophically inconsistent--by politicians of every stripe throughout history, but to label them unmitigated frauds as a consequence of that conduct is ludicrous.
I was a contemporary of Gore, worked for his predecessor in Congress, and lived not far from the Gore family home in Tennessee. My father knew him quite well during his years as a Congressman in the mid-70's and 80's, but after his death a couple of weeks after Gore began his first term as Senator in 1985, that personal connection ceased. I had been living, and continued to reside, in Atlanta during those years.
But at least over the course of that period of time his reputation was impeccable. Whether and to what extent it may have been tarnished later on is something I'll let you and others speculate about. And with respect to the years when my knowledge was more personal--even if indirect--and I can speak with a corresponding level of authority, you may rest assured the "fraud" tag is a load of nonsense.
Jer

Submitted by RESTLESS 1 on Mon, 04/18/2011 - 12:26pm.
Especially considering that some time has passed since this comment his subsequent fraudulent statements, books , movies, etc... represent, to me at least, a pattern of being a fraud.

In this day and age, if you have a viewpoint on ANY issue that opposes the position held by liberals, expect to eventually be called- directly or indirectly - a racist. They have no use for logic or facts. Their Go-To "arguments" always involve race and/or class warfare.
This is a great example: Their "case" for global warming somehow warrants a reminder that fire hoses were turned on blacks 50 years ago.

It would have been political suicide to have voted for it. Compared to most other senators in the South of that era, Gore Sr was viewed as at least a moderate on civil rights, and his subsequent support for legislation--passed the very next year for example--contributed to his defeat in 1970.

Voting for the Civil Rights bill didn't kill the political lives of the Republicans who voted for it. That's a TERRIBLE excuse! What your claiming is that Al Sr. traded his morality for votes. Kinda like what his son is doing now. But, now, instead of votes, it's those "carbon credits" he wants to trade, for a profit.
