In the liberal world, when Al Gore is right, he's right. In fact, he's so right that no one should be allowed to dissent from his environmental infallibility. The liberal blog Media Bloodhound is mad at the New York Times: how DARE they publish a balanced set of reader comments on Al Gore's worthiness for the Nobel Peace Prize on their home page! The blogger said the New York Times "slights" Gore by allowing the dissidents a spot:
Here are just three different sets of these Foxified couplings (screenshots are viewable in update below):
Beneath a photo captioned "Al and Tipper Gore at the Academy Awards in February":
Comment by Elmer Stobbe: "Junk science prevails, and the Pope of junk science is rewarded."Comment by Ethan C.: "Nothing like a Nobel Peace Prize to tell the world that there's a real crisis."Under a photo captioned "Al and Tipper Gore with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in September":
Comment by Liana: "You don't have to politically like Gore, but at least realize what he has done for global awareness of our enviornment [sic]!"Comment by William: "Nobel is probably spinning in his grave....Another left wing triumph over science and logic."Rotated comments beneath the same photo:
Comment by Michael Williams: "[Gore's] own actions and lifestyle are in contradiction to the policies/actions that his film supports."
Comment by James Law: "If Gore won't run, then Hillary must appoint him as the head of the E.P.A."
He concludes:
Shame on these commenters for their pettiness and ignorance, but The Times is the culpable party here: blame lands squarely on its shoulders for providing high-profile credence to such stupid, venal and unscientific opinions. And on such a critical, world-changing, life-and-death issue that is already affecting, and will continue to affect, everyone on this planet, in addition to millions who've yet to be born.
