Al and Tipper Gore just consented to an interview with Ryan Seacrest on the E! pre-Oscar festivities. (First question: Tipper's wearing Bill Blass, Al Gore reluctantly noted he's wearing Ralph Lauren.) The goofiest answer was when Seacrest asked Gore, "if you were to cast an actor to play the lead in 'The Al Gore Story,' who would you pick?" Gore quipped, "I don't know, maybe William Hung," the infamous "American Idol" reject who mangled Ricky Martin's "She Bangs." Seacrest laughed and said "I love it, I mean, the 'Idol' reference!" When Seacrest asked if that 
performance was one of his favorites, he said it was "right up there," and then said "no, no, no" and insisted that his favorite song is the lesbian rocker Melissa Etheridge's song "I Need to Wake Up." Guess why? It's up for an Oscar for its inclusion in Gore's film. Lyrics, please:
And as a child
I danced like it was 1999
My dreams were wild
The promise of this new world
Would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth
When she was nominated for the Oscar, Etheridge issued this statement: "Al Gore has crashed through the barriers of partisanship and brought the single most important issue of our time to the forefront. To have this song recognized by the academy with a nomination brings me more hope that our generation can turn the current climate crisis around and make the earth a safe and healthy place for ourselves and our children. It was an honor to contribute to this project by writing 'I Need To Wake Up.'" Al Gore has pretended to "channel his inner lesbian rock star."

February 25, 2007 - 20:25 ET by Tim GrahamI mentioned it because she's a liberal lesbian activist, and the Gores have been very much in the forefront of crusading for many gay-left causes. If she's out and proud and campaigning, why is it objectionable? It's like calling Jeremy Camp a "Christian rocker." It's what makes you distinctive.

February 25, 2007 - 21:35 ET by blogonatorIt just doesn't seem relevant to this story. You could have described her as "an environmental activist" or a "folk rocker" - both pertinant to your story. Oddly, in making sure you mentioned "what makes people distinctive" you felt no need to describe Gore as a life-long environmentalist or a former senator and vice-president, or a failed presidential candidate.

February 26, 2007 - 15:19 ET by Rupert CadellGee whiz, makes sense to me Balboa. But since she doesn't closet herself by referring to her as "partner" (and come on, doesn't that sound a little awkward?) she's furthering the gay recruitment conspiracy, corrupting our children, and so on.
Yeah that's it, gays should be so grateful that we even let them have relationships; how dare they refer to their spouse with the same pronouns we do?

Extremely horrifying to think that there are some of us who think society should have some standards, isn't it?

At least the best documenta
February 25, 2007 - 23:13 ET by blogonatorAt least the best documentary category isn't selected by the standard hollywood academy. It is the only category chosen by documentary filmmakers and has been out of the hands of hollywood since Hoop Dreams in the early 90s.
What a great movie, Hoop Drea

February 26, 2007 - 01:58 ET by emjem24First it was Rosie Dunce O'Donnell going "ching chong" and getting in touch with her inner Asian. Now, it's Al Whore making a lame joke about William Hung playing him in a biographical sketch. The only problem with this joke is that Hung has way more personality than Al Whore will ever find in his botox-ridden face. C'mon, Al, try to smile...I can't the stiffness just takes over my very being. Now Etheridge who is also just yet another washed up, overhyped rocker sings a song for Al Whore's "fauxmentary." Perhaps, she can sing "Puff The Magic Dragon" and the loony left can truly swoon. Time to sing along....

February 26, 2007 - 10:42 ET by Rupert CadellHoly angry conservatives!
It is too funny how you guys freak out about the Oscars and Al Gore. And above, Aca points out that "we don't even care 'cause it's boring" (paraphrased). And yet, it's just one article after another and one hysterical post after another decrying "Hollyweird" (man that's clever) and liberal activists.
Um, yeah, Hollywood is overwhelmingly liberal. Remember McCarthyism? Nothing's changed! You're beating a dead horse here. Calling Gore "Al Bore" or "Al Whore" is about as incisive as the man's film (ie not very).
And why wouldn't Etheridge thank her wife? Who's the one person you should thank in an acceptance speech? Um, your spouse perhaps? That was not irrelevant. Referring to her as "lesbian rocker" was, like Balboa said, just to remind us that modern actors and singers are the spawn of Sodom and Gomorrah. As far as I can tell, the only gay person the right likes is Tammy Bruce, because to her there are two kinds of gay people:
1. Gay people named Tammy Bruce who invoke their sexuality to "prove" that the right isn't largely homophobic.
2. Gay people who aren't named Tammy Bruce, who are malevolent sexual predators trying to corrupt children and recruit them into a homosexual brainwashing cult.
I better stop before Emjem threatens to report me to the NB staff.
"Remember McCarthyism?
February 26, 2007 - 10:56 ET by Galvanic"Remember McCarthyism? Nothing's changed!"
Perhaps nothing among Hollywood political attitidues, but there's one significant difference: there ain't no McCarthy! No matter how much the Hollywood Left claims to be oppressed by the Bush WH, no one is being oppressed by the government or the Congress. It's Hollywood and a number of MSMers who beat that dead horse.
And to be fair to Tammy Bruce, she's a former Left insider who's been ostracized by the Left for openly criticizing thier lies and hypocrisy. She's still a self-described liberal, but she finds some common ground with conseravtives on a number of 'values.'
Actually Rupert, you make some points here.
February 26, 2007 - 11:02 ET by acaiguanaActually Rupert, you make some points here.
To the casual observer of the site, the amount of negative Gay comments would in fact lead one to think some people here hate Gays.
McCarthyism has been used as a club by the Left to bash Republicans for ...
well, just ever.
But, Hollywood has had its number of self-identified and proclaimed Communists and Socialists. Daschiell Hammet is one of my favorites. I always thought they were innoculous myself. Pretty much what I think of the whole Gay thingy.
But, I think you confused the NB posts about Hollywood with my personal opinion of the Oscars. That's a bad no no. I probably more specifically should have said, "I don't care." But being somewhat identified with the posters here, I used the 'We' instead.
However, I would like to point out to you that Hollywood actors tend to get on national TV a lot. (like more than the humble self here)
That would somehow excuse the emphasis the site might give to Hollywood, huh? And if that argument isn't sufficient, let me (myself, I) just say the following.
These silly awards are self-aggrandized congratulations for an industry that seems to have some problem connecting with its audiences. The people who are highlighted in the industry are poorly educated twits for the most part with talents that do not extend to political issues nor foreign policy.
They are people who in another world would be considered rather ill informed and not worthy of public stage. I don't particularly listen to my next door neighbor's lawn care High School Graduate on what he thinks is prudent policy in the Middle East.
Thanks for your attention to this important matter.

Well Your Own Liberal Colors Do Show Rupert
February 26, 2007 - 11:19 ET by emjem24Rupert,
LOL Wow, that was some intelligent, "I'm not you, I'm above the fray analysis." Been talking to trolls for your liberal talking points? Well, since it seems you're endorsing alternative lifestyles, I'll let your idiotic verbage speak for itself, troll.
Are you afraid I'll report you for your outrageous, "insightful," and ignorant comments? Since you seem to preach how you're so above it all, and we just are bashing Al too much, here's some counterpoints to your statements:
1. I'd like for you to prove to me (and all of us) how homosexuality has become an acceptable lifestyle choice (besides the obvious opposition to same-sex marriage ballot initiatives that have passed in multiple states such as VA). You can cherry pick any MSM poll you want, we promise we'll understand....wink, wink.
2. The nicknames of "Al Bore" and "Al Whore" are characterizations of the true nature of the man. He's a fraud and a fake, so what's your point about the nicknames? That they're name callling? Where's the insight you seek to provide about Gore? Is he not a media/political whore? Is he not a bore with a lack of proper facial/verbal spontaneity? Tell me where we've gone wrong...I'm sure you've thought up an appropriate defense. We're all waiting with anticipation.
3. Now we can't call Etheridge, a known gay activist, a lesbian rocker? Isn't that what she is? Give me a break. When you object to something like that we all know from which field (far left) you're coming from. Isn't a gay woman a lesbian?
4. Tammy Bruce, while gay (and a lesbian I think), is a reasoned liberal who despises individuals like Etheridge who promote the homosexual agenda every chance she gets. Ever listen to her radio show? I'd give it a try before you claim how informed you are about the woman.
5. There are "some" gay people out there who abuse children just like there are "some" heterosexual people. What's your point? According to you, no homosexual would dare "corrupt" a child and that we're all just mean-spirited by saying that homosexuals and their agenda are corrupting children. C'mon...you cannot be serious.
6. There is a known homosexual agenda in this country, and you know it, Rupert. Let's see, a certain school district in MA approving "diversity" literature that supports same sex parents to elementary school children (don't you think that's a bit young to form any kind of opinion?). Sounds more like indoctrination to me (as a teacher myself I've seen how the educational system glosses over independent thought). Civil Unions are now acceptable in states like MA as well. What next, a threesome? Anything goes in this state. What about the kids?
The "I better stop before Emjem threatens to report me to the NB staff," is completely disengenuous to the conversation. Why put it in there if a) you're confident in your arguments, b) you had a point at all, c) you're a gay rights activist on very thin ice, or d) you're simply a liberal troll. I would pick d) myself. Thank you for noticing my crusade against liberal trolls everywhere. Now either make a decent point or argument and stop blaming me for the reason for your lack of an argument or just admit to being a troll. Be my guest...I'm sure others will either just ignore you or pick apart your slick, "gays are people too" argument point by point.
The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer. Air Force Motto
emjem says: When your brain's stuck on liberalism it self-destructs.
Alright Emjem, let's do this
February 26, 2007 - 11:39 ET by Rupert CadellAlright Emjem, let's do this thing.
1. Inasmuch as "Acceptable lifestyle choice" sounds extremely euphemistic, I'll just say, what right do YOU have to say that it's not acceptable? You can hate gays all you want (I'm not saying you do personally) but you cannot mount a convincing argument that they should not be treated equally or given the right to marry. And you certainly can't argue that they should not be allowed to advocate for that equality, especially the few whose sexuality has been more or less accepted by the public, like Etheridge. I'd say the burden of proof is on you, and if all you've got is the Old Testament, and argument about "what's next, threesome?", and some study about how gay people can't provide a good home for a child, then I'll just say QED right now.
2. The nicknames ceased to be witty the 10,000th time. And for most of the posters, the nicknames are all they've got because they refuse to actually see the film. Not that I've seen it either.
3. Yeah she's a lesbian and a "rocker" (I guess). I was simply responding to the conversation at the begining of this thread where someone asked why that specifically needed to be invoked here. It seems to be there only to further emphasize the leftist nature of the whole thing and to discredit Etheridge. How it's comparable to Etheridge mentioning her spouse during an acceptance speech is well beyond me.
4. I have read Tammy Bruce's book "Beyond Good and Evil"...oh wait, that's Nietzsche, a person who actually had interesting things to say about morality. Bruce's abysmal "The End of Right and Wrong" read like a conservative wishlist, and Bruce came off like a puppet. "Ha, they can't call us homophobes now!" My above characterization of how Bruce regards homosexuals that don't basically stay in the closet (or, if they've come out, decry others) stands.
5. Yes, there are straight and gay people who abuse children. If you're going to demonize homosexuality because of those few bad people, you'd better demonize heterosexuality as well and just make everyone be a sexless, emasculated drone. Because the number of heterosexual molestations, I will bet you anything, far exceeds the homosexual ones. Your segue, that homosexuals and their agenda are corrupting children, is just nonsense. How are homosexuals, just by existing and wanting the right to marry and be equal, corrupting children. This should be good....
6. I used to live in MA and I see nothing wrong with what you describe. If you're afraid children are going to be convinced that they should be gay, it doesn't work like that. Teaching about sexual diversity in middle schools is just as important as teaching about racial diversity. Next you'll say that those kids shouldn't have a unit on slavery where they read about Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglas? What about the kids? They'll decide for themselves about it. I went to MA public schools myself, I am not gay, and I am 100% in favor of full civil rights for those who are. And until that happens, they have every right to work for it within the public eye. I have no problem with my child reading "Johnny's Two Mommies." None.
My final remark had only to do with the various time that I've seen you threaten to report others for comments that you deemd objectionable. My thorough reply here should demonstrate my non-trollness.
You're A Still A Trying Troll, Rupert
February 26, 2007 - 12:32 ET by emjem24Alright, Rupert, you responded...with more "gays are people too" talking points. Why don't you be honest and TRULLY let us know which corner you fit in.
1. What Right do you have to say that the gay lifestyle is acceptable? Oh, that darn 1st Ammendment but that applies to you but it shouldn't apply to conservatives and others who genuinely disagree with you because it doesn't gel with your permissive view of things. If gays wanted a quiet life, why must they go out in Gay Pride parades and show off how much "pride" they have in being gay? The public has "more or less" accepted gay people? How so...where's the proof..if you're gonna say it, back it up with EVIDENCE...unless you live in San Francisco or liberal towns like that...
2. The nicknames aren't all there is to the Gore/Whore/Bore discussion. I haven't seen the film because I'm not convinced this is a work of SCIENCE but a work of FILM and DISTORTION. It may be FLAWED SCIENCE, but that doesn't mean it should be taken seriously.
3. Well, she "outed" herself and she's damn proud of it. She likes being referred to as a lesbian...why can liberals call her that but not conservatives? What's your point...oh, that's right there wasn't one.
4. Sure, gays stay in the closet because they're not comfortable with being who and what they are. When gays who come out of the closet make being gay a political issue then they've gone over the edge. They're in the minority as are polygamists...they are also sexual deviants...do I need to draw a picture....
5. You asserting that I want emasculated drones is simply awe-inspiring. I just love how liberals like you like to make broad, judgemental characterizations about heterosexuals and conservatives in particular. While imaginative...it doesn't really address my 5th point at all... Our country was founded on TRADITIONAL principles of God, the family, and country, not on homosexuality. You may want to think that the Constitution is an ever-changing document but I don't. When you push a "two mommies/daddies" agenda on kids it leaves them confused wondering what is a family anymore. I'd be confused too since it's too early an age to reason this all out without further research when they're older (and parental explanation as well). Also, where is the evidence (that darned, inconvenient word) to back up that more heterosexuals abuse kids than homosexuals...that's a baseless statement....and just your point of view.
6. You lived in MA? Shocking! I'm astonished. What relevance does sexual diversity have in any classroom, pray tell? Isn't that a judgement that can be made by the individual and discussed between the parents and their children? Why does it need to be instituted by the public school system? Unless you're in favor of not letting parents deciding what's best for their children like certain countries such as Germany. BTW, your statement about not teaching a slavery unit is ignorant and just plain pathetic (you're talking to a teacher who has taught such a unit and is an historian). Also, what is the relevance to teaching a student about sexual diversity (especially in a history class)? C'mon...we're teaching history here not revisionist history (oh, I guess in MA we are). The fact that you went to a MA public school is not shocking. I went to a NY public school where the last time I saw there was nothing about sexual diversity training for children at any level. Of course, you have no prolem reading to your kid about "Johnny's Two Mommies." Fortunately, there are many people in this country that would disagree with you and the state of Colorado (where I last taught) and I swear I didn't see a thing about sexual diversity training.
My final remarks are these....you're obviously a homosexual appologist with an agenda (and probably lots of gay friends who invite you to their gay parade fiestas all the time) and would like to convince us all that "gays should be treated like everyone else." They are...however, there's nothing in the constitution that says that they should be married...but I'm sure since it's a changing document, a little old Amendment would make things right. Unfortunately, it would need to be ratified by the States and I just don't think many would go along with that (perhaps CA, MA et. al.). Also, you seem to be both a moral relativist and a secular progressive who thinks all sexual deviants have a place in society. Well, child molestors are put in prison in most states except those who think the real crime would be enacting Jessica's Law. As far as I can tell, most conservatives I know are neither moral relativists or secular progressives unless you subscribe to the Lincoln Chaffee viewpoints of life. So you're either a very liberal RINO or just plain out there liberal (or perhaps one of those self-stylized European Democratic Socialists). Oh, and you're still a troll with a unsupported point of view and arguments based on your liberal persuasion but not much evidence except that which was invented in your own mind.
The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer. Air Force Motto

OK, emjem
February 26, 2007 - 13:06 ET by Rupert CadellYep, I grew up in Mass. An I'm proud to be from a place that teaches tolerance and tries not to produce mouth-breathers who feel threatened by homosexuals. There is far too much nonsense in your post for me to address it all this time. I am at work, after all.
Sure, gays stay in the closet because they're not comfortable with being who and what they are.
Hmm, and why would that be?
Our country was founded on TRADITIONAL principles of God, the family, and country, not on homosexuality.
So? What country WAS founded on anything besides whatever was normative at the time. That has some sort of bearing on people's sexuality now? It was founded on the concept of "marrying your own kind" too (unless you were a rich slave owner who could rape those slaves with impunity) but the idea that people can't marry interracially now is a total anachronism. Progress! Yay!!
you're talking to a teacher who has taught such a unit and is an historian
You MUST be an expert. So how is instilling tolerance for gay people and their historic persecution different?
I just love how liberals like you like to make broad, judgemental
characterizations about heterosexuals and conservatives in particular.
Haha, as you make a broad, judgemental characterization about liberals! Way to go. That's like saying "Damn Canadians with their stupid stereotypes!" I didn't say you wanted that, I was making a point. If your big argument is how homosexuals corrupt children, there are plenty of heterosexuals that manage to molest or otherwise corrupt children too. Doesn't mean their sexual preference should be demonized.
you seem to be both a moral relativist and a secular progressive who thinks all sexual deviants have a place in society.
And you seem to be someone who thinks gayness, in and of itself, poses some threat to you personally, which is just sad.
Why don't you be honest and TRULLY let us know which corner you fit in.
What corner? What does "trully" mean? Make sense, will ya?
All you've demonstrated to me is that you hate homosexuality cause it's "icky." And you're entitled to that. Conversely, I'm entitled to think you're a knuckle-dragging homophobe.
Gays Are Far Diffferent From Minority Groups
February 26, 2007 - 13:43 ET by emjem24Wow, you're at work and you're doing this...what does that say about your job? Anyway, what real points did you make in your last post? Your opinion: emjem is just a mean old homophobe who thinks "gayness" threatens her," and you: "I'm so tolerant, I understand the gay agenda and I will not judge."
Aren't you special? I love how you liken gays to minority groups like blacks, hispanics, Asians, and Native American (of which I have some ancestry). Don't you think that's a bit insulting? Gays chose their lifestyle. Blacks and other minorities didn't "choose" to be discriminated against. This is just, moral equivalency.
You plead for me to make sense...you first. I'll rephrase so your tiny mind can understand....are you or are you not a liberal? Point blank. I'm a conservative Republican...you haven't been honest at all about who you are...
You may feel entitled to judging me and the rest of America for what we feel is biologically, socially, politically, and biblically repulsive, but I (and others) like me can judge you likewise as the gay panderer, permissive, SP, moral relativist you really are. I also just love how you can call me a homophobe (I have nothing personal against gay people, I've worked with them, but I have a huge problem when they impose their lifestyle on others like me). They will never be accepted. Face reality. Also, if you feel it's within your right, I feel it's within my right to call you a liberal. Why be defensive about it unless you have something to hide? They're plenty of them on here and you're kidding no one.
You're being really intellectually dishonest. That don't jive with what this website stands for. You either back up what you say with E..V..I..D..E..N..C..E or it's your opinion which you've just proven. Stop pretending also to not be a troll...trolls pretend to be reasonable...but then end up insulting the members of this website when they have not defended their position with evidence (like you just did with me and which you will not get away with). You get my drift.
So, what you're saying is, let's change the Constitution to advocate the gay lifestyle...I just love it...what would the founders say... You would change everything that is TRADITIONAL about American society to promote your own agenda. Typical liberal agenda. We'll impose our belief systems on you but you can't say a damn thing about it.
You have already judged me so you might as well admit it. Just as others have judged you on NB based on the fact that you offer up no substative facts/evidence to support your statements. I, with an honest heart, backed up my statements. You, with a liar's heart, muddy the issue and morally equivocate the place of gays (who people don't support and who are seen as an alternative lifestyle) to those such as my Native American ancestors and blacks. My, I'm sure they'd pat you on the back for that one.

Some of what you say I agree
February 27, 2007 - 07:41 ET by dahliatraversSome of what you say I agree with. Couple of specific points.
You're right, you can't "convince" someone to be gay (or straight). But no, teaching sexual diversity is not remotely as important as teaching students about the history of slavery in America.
Why is someone who partially agrees with you (Tammy) a "puppet"? Who controls her? Or is someone paying her to espouse these views? When a Republican or Conservative holds a position on a particular issue that you happen to agree with, is he or she also a puppet? Or are they not a puppet on that issue but a puppet on all the other things you disagree with them about?
Um... I think you are talking to a 'puppet' here. Waste of time

slavery
February 27, 2007 - 08:11 ET by DontFeedTheTrolls. . . not remotely as important as teaching students about the history of slavery in America.
Why is the 'history of slavery in America.' so important? Why not the history of slavery in the world? Did America begin slavery? No. Was America the last country to ban slavery? No. Was America the only country to engage in slavery? No. Did not slavery exist thousands of years before America was founded? Yes. Shouldn't a history of slavery include the start of slavery as an institution thousands of years ago (when the peoples of what is now called Egypt (part of Africa) enslaved the peoples of what is now called the Middle East), not just the short 3 to 4 hundred year history in one country?

Native Americans didn't believe in secure borders. Look what happened to them.
Geez, DFTT, I'd be happy if everyone concerned about slavery
February 27, 2007 - 08:20 ET by acaiguanaGeez, DFTT, I'd be happy if everyone concerned about slavery 170 years ago in America would get a little more concerned about the slavery that exists today, in 2007 in Africa and other parts of the world.

Possibly the Reverends Jacks
February 27, 2007 - 13:56 ET by dahliatraversPossibly the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton would consider undertaking this as a badly needed public awareness project.

February 26, 2007 - 11:33 ET by Jack BauerReferring to her as "lesbian rocker" was, like Balboa said, just to remind us that modern actors and singers are the spawn of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Dude.. can't you ever get anything right?

February 26, 2007 - 10:49 ET by GalvanicIt looks as though Prince Albert is pursuing the same thing his former ticket-mate is actively campaigning for: the Nobel Peace Prize. They know that if they're critical of US policies or standard of living, they stand excellent chances of winning.

To answer the hypothetical
February 26, 2007 - 12:21 ET by Tim the EnchanterTo answer the hypothetical about who would play Algore in a movie- how 'bout one of those big wooden cigar store Indians one used to see all over the place? There's got to be quite a few of those still lurking about, looking for gainful employment....
