Drudge Falsely Smears Gore
Drudge Falsely Smears Gore
Matt Drudge is looking for any excuse to smear Al Gore and his new movie, An Inconvenient Truth. He’s been running this story, unsourced, all day:
ThinkProgress contacted Gore’s representatives, who unequivocally confirmed that Al Gore and his associates walked from the Majestic Hotel to the screening at Cannes. Further, Paramount has committed to making the entire tour promoting the film carbon neutral.
UPDATE: At 3:38 PM EST on May 22, about an hour after this post, Drudge yanked the smear on Gore from his site. The report that was removed contained no links or attribution to any source.
UPDATE II: Reuters reports that Gore was seen using a car at another time during the Cannes film festival. This story was first linked by Drudge on May 25. It does not substantiate Drudge’s original, May 22, report. In fact, it specifically says Gore and his associates walked to the screening.
UPDATE III: Click HERE for ThinkProgress’ complete coverage of Al Gore and An Inconvenient Truth.
Does Drudge pull his stories out of his a**?
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:35 pmDrudge is lying again...who'd a thunk it?
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:46 pmLying Liars.
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:47 pm"Drudged from the sewer up"
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:47 pmDrudge is having a flashback to 2000, when publishing made-up shit about Gore was required for journalists and journalist wanna-bes, and easier to get away with.
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:52 pmMaybe Drudge uses his website to record dreams he has. It's like his little personal blog!
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:52 pmDrudge is pure sludge so who cares what that greasy fool spews > lol.
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:53 pmConsidering Al Gore is in great shape for a 58 year old man, I believe he walked. Had it been a story about chubby Cheney taking the car, I might have expected as much.
Really, the right is TERRIFIED of Gore. They know he won in 200. They kow he could win again in 2008. They just hope that if they can take him out now, we'll win up with Hillary.
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:53 pmThe only way for someone like Gore to stop this is to sue Drudge, perhaps for malicious intent, and take him to court. If not, he most likely will continue to defame Democrats and progressives with impunity.
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:55 pmOf course, it's all about the smears and the distortions and of course the payola. President Gore is far more of a patriot that any NeoCon ever will be. His only mistake was honorably conceding 6 years ago. He thought he was doing the right thing for the country. But the NeoCons's true rapacious nature somehow took him by surprise even after 8 years in office. That shows he has a good heart but is sadly a bit oblivious to the darker elements chomping at the bit to seize power.
Had enough yet? The ONLY way to end the NeoCon menace is to expose the rigged voting system. It's the only chance we have of taking America back from the NeoCons. And right now, the ONLY Democrat willing to take it to the Republicans on this issue: Clint Curtis.
Curtis is the programmer who was hired by corrupt Florida Congressman Tom Feeney to rig the vote. Disgusted by what he saw, Curtis became a whistleblower. Now he’s challenging Feeney to his congressional seat in Florida's 24th district!
His candor and firsthand experience on the election fraud issue makes him The One Crucial Democratic Candidate in '06. With Curtis in the race and taking it to Feeney, we will finally get this issue into the national press!
Please contribute to Clint Curtis for Congress, and let’s restore truth, justice and the American way!

Thanks, everyone!
May 22nd, 2006 at 2:55 pmIt always cracks me up when the neo cons say progressives are playing dirty politics. Hell, they wrote the book on it.
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:00 pmOT: speaking of smears, O'Lielly just smeared this website mulitple times today. I consider that a badge of honor.

May 22nd, 2006 at 3:04 pmPost 8 > Yes the Republicans hope we will all back Hillary Clinton in 2008 for president > she has agreed to be a shill like Kerry was in 2004 and lose to any GOP clown nominated for Prez!
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:04 pmHillary is actually a Republican and I said so today in think fast thread! She and her hubby have sold out to the Bush cabal and they are not able to hide that fact any longer! I helped Bill for 8 years basically, but he would like me to shut up since I know he is a fraud now!
Don't let facts get in the way of reality.
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:05 pmFor crissakes.
My local weatherman can't predict tomorrow's weather accurately, let alone the next 100 years!!! Although I do believe that mankind has affected the environment, we have no idea with any certainty what the final outcome will be. Yes, glaciers are shrinking. Yes, ocean temperatures have increased. Yes, the air is hazier worldwide. Vast forests have dissapeared. Yet, some parts of the word have experienced record snowfall and/or floods.
It cannot be denied that the industrial revolution has basically been competing with naturally evolved life on earth for it's resources. Think about how much air runs through you automobile and how much poison it generates per day. Per year. Machines gobble up resources and spew out waste. It is the nature of industrialized society. The ecosystem will suffer, and so will everything that relies on it (us in particular). This isn't a battle for Earth's survival. It is for our own. Life forms have come and gone, but the little blue marble rolls on.
Personally, there's nothing we can do to affect it at this point. Unfortunately people are posturing to PROFIT anyway they can. It's the 'merican thang to do. So, get creative, and get rich!?
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:05 pmCan we start up a Drudge page that just makes crap up, too?
Some examples:
GWB to CIA: "Get me some of that Afghani blow."
Tancredo says "Brown people are not Americans," Says he "meant every damn word."
Majority Leader Frist arrested for illegally selling organs.
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:06 pmWait for it to be repeated ad nauseum on Fox....

If Gore did indeed walk, which I believe he probably did, then Druge just completely made this shit up... there has to be consequences for this deliberate deception!!!

Really? Huh. Didn't think Bill could read.
Well, if you are reading this, O'Rielly, welcome! This is what the other 71% of America is talking about now. How about you start paying attention to a few of the stories listed here? It might help your plummetting ratings. It sure is helping Olberman's viewership.

Comment by Jay Randal — May 22, 2006 @ 3:04 pm
I'm almost convinced that Hillary will get the Democratic nod, and that Gore will have to run as an independent. Fortunately, unlike most politicians, he's been working and making friends since 2000. I think he could get Independent funding - Google, his movie profits, Soros, etc...
I've never really liked Hillary. As much as I would love to see a woman president, she's not the one.

May 22nd, 2006 at 3:18 pm[...] According to Think Progress, Matt Drudge of The Drudge Report has been running this headline on the front page without any sourcing: Is it true? Of course not. It was put out by Matt Drudge. ThinkProgress contacted Gore’s representatives, who unequivocally confirmed that Al Gore and his associates walked from the Majestic Hotel to the screening at Cannes. Further, Paramount has committed to making the entire tour promoting the film carbon neutral. [...]
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:21 pmYou take the bait and miss the point, oh my brothers! Even if Al took a dozen coal burning helicopters across the street and back, it does not in any way besmirch the evidence for global warming.
The know-nothing tightie-righties evade the real issues through these personal attacks all the time. And we keep falling for it. (Well, you do.) The attack is not the point of their behavior. Avoiding the issue on the table is the point.
Our task is to keep the focus on what matters. It's clear enough and important enough that we can safely ignore most of these distracting personal attacks.
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:23 pmPost 22 > I am willing to support Al Gore for president in 2008, because I actually believe he won Florida in 2000 and was cheated out of the presidency! In hindsight it's obvious that Joe Lieberman got paid "30 pieces of silver" to screw over Gore, and Bill Clinton met with Bush Senior before the Supreme Court appointed his son Dubya Dunce as Prez! I actually wrote a FAX to Bill a day after the 2000 election to send the FBI to Florida to assure a true count of the ballots, but Bill had already cut a deal with the Bush family! Sad but the truth!!!
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:24 pmBill O'who?
FOX = Cartoon Network
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:26 pmAsk him to prove it, otherwise it is libel.
That's what these hate-mongers - the extreme nuts of the right - do. They make hyperbolic statements so they get attention. Either they are payed out right to do this by the nuts of the right, or somehow get compensation, and personal gratification. Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Coulter are experts at it. It is really shameful, and an embarrassment for our country.
I always hope the heart of America will see it for what it is and rise above it this garbage. Trouble is, most of the media outlets are controlled by wing-nuts, so they propagate this crap. Ho hum :-(

May 22nd, 2006 at 3:29 pmwell, it seems i can't hold onto these lurid photos of drudge and little boys. he is a proven pedorass you know. i have the proof, my sources though, do wish to remain anonymous. we can look at the video feed for proof, i accidentally spilled apple juice on it. i swear though, this stuff is the smoking gun we are all looking for!! Drudge is a pedofile!!! why do we, the MSM never have facts or proof on our side? only the christian right has our back. hmmmmm
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:29 pmRegarding poster "die now for peace". I assume that you are over in Iraq posting this blog, I KNOW that you are not in the safety and security of your home posting some bull***t like that.
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:30 pmTextbook ad hominem attack. Thanks Drudge for another example to present in my introductory logic class this Fall.
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:33 pm#17 and you would only have a 50% chance of predicting which way a flipped coin will end up, but we all still know that over time you will get about even odds. Predicting the weather today at your house is hard. Predicting large scale trends is much easier. Have you bothered reading any of the plans for fighting this problem, like at Daily Kos, or the Apollo Alliance? We can do this, with real leaders. Watch An Inconvenient Truth when it comes out near you and then come back and moan.
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:34 pmI'd love to see Drudge brought down by a lawsuit. Was there ever any action taken on the false Kerry-intern lie rumor he started?

May 22nd, 2006 at 3:42 pmJust got done checking the Drudge site.
The smear about the Gore movie premiere entourage in limos is no longer there.
Way to go, Raw Story and its readers!
May 22nd, 2006 at 3:52 pmMatt Drudge does not lose a single opportunity to provide evidence of his sleaziness and unctuous vapidity.
Narcissistic as he is, he is probably burning with envy for not being at a Film Festival.
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:03 pm#37 The late great GW Burning Bush was likely coated with mid-east oil, and told Moses that the Canaanites had spears of mass destruction.
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:04 pmIain Murray at The Corner is still referring to the Drudge story, and lucky for him he didn't even link so none of his readers will see that the link is gone.
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:10 pmDrudge is a Republican toady and he will do anything to smear the left.
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:15 pm[...] And since it’s Drudge, it’s invariably excrement: Matt Drudge is looking for any excuse to smear Al Gore and his new movie, An Inconvenient Truth.

May 22nd, 2006 at 4:17 pmDrudge must've figured if Jabba the Hastert needs an SUV to travel a city block then so too must Al Gore.

May 22nd, 2006 at 4:32 pm"Jay Randall" = Republican shill? Is it only a matter of time before he starts telling people how they had Vince Foster and Ron Brown killed? Or would that blow his fake"Clinton supporter" story?
Hillary and Bill are the only democrats in the past two decades to face down the full might of republican smear machine and win. They beat back every possible slander - murder, drug running, prostitution, open marriage, lesbianism. And they won; Bill repeatedly, and Hillary looks certain to cruise to re-election.
I don't know if she would make a great president. But she is the only candidate I am 100% certain would beat the right wing slime down. Every other democrat has withered in front of it.
The idea that they are now closet republicans is absurd on its face. Peddle that tripe somewhere else, shill.
"30 pieces of silver" ... I guess YOU always knew that how his "kind" was, huh?
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:36 pmPost 46 > you are as stupid as the Bush loving fools who post on TP threads > lol. Hillary and Bill Clinton are completely in bed with the Bush family now you dumb dunce nut! Hillary hangs out with Rupert Murdoch of FOX News and Bill Boy hangs out with Bush Senior! Live in your bubble and vote for Hillary as president > lol.
And if you like that slime Joe Lieberman, then you are pathetic as well?!
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:42 pmDrudge used to amuse me. I would go to his site to see what the Republican meme-for-the-day would be.
I'm no longer amused.
He's not a journalist; he's a webmaster. He's also a slimeball.
It doesn't matter, because the conservative house of cards is coming down, hard. I take real pleasure in that.
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:44 pmI heard this hateful lie repeated on the ABS feed of my local Air America radio station!!!!
Can no one in the freaking MSM ever check a source (not if it comes down to vilifying a Democrat.)
When do we get permission to drag these traitors into the streets by their hair and stone them in the town square?
Oh, sorry. We're liberals. We're supposed to stand around and while until they round up our families and ship us to death camps.
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:48 pmIt is a shame, when all they can come up with is that Gore had an entourage of 5 cars.
May 22nd, 2006 at 4:57 pmHow little can one go? Remember small minds have small ideas.
During this Felonious Age of President "Butch", Slander is the highest form of Free Speech.
Atta boy Mr. Drudge!...for paying close attention to the Straussian/Rovian practices of "deception at all costs"; your studies have paid off handsomely.
Mr. Drudge, will you still be laughing condescendingly at us, the 70% who disapprove of "Butch", as we sit in the ashes of a once-proud Republic? Will you care? Or are we expendable to you, too?
But please, as you laugh and dine on the King's caviar from your remote, propagandized typewriter, remember the good ole' days when journalistic integrity WAS the envy of man's brief history.
Also, when at last your usefullness to their "machine" is of little value, come visit us all at Gitmo where we "American Citizenry" will be exchanging our memories of Old Glory in it's heyday.
Our numbers are great and our Truth is even greater!
See ya there!
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:08 pmDrudge is into Fudge.
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:27 pmDrudge's only value is that he has a link to Molly Ivins on his site, AND reading his headlines tells me what the dumbest of bastards will be talking about today and tomorrow.
He did us all a service by proving that anyone with a modem and an ISP can be a journalist. Unfortunately, he isn't much of one.
At least the fools in D.C. aren't paying him to publish...
Otherwise, f**k him, the horse he rode in on, and his little cat that sings the blues.
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:28 pmafter 3:38 pm est? that would be after the dittoheads had all had their fill anyway. tomorrow, no one will tell them that's gone and they won't notice.
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:36 pmHa, now Drudge has replaced the "five cars" story with a reprinted one from 1997 about how much fuel Gore burned to attend a summit. So, I guess this particular straw man of Drudge's has been around for some time.
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:38 pmAPOLOGIZE YOU BASTARD!
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:40 pmYanking it is not enough.
Does Drudge pull his stories out of his a**?
This one does indeed have all of the earmarks--er, smearmarks--of something pulled out of one's ass. I'd say that's a yes, at least for this one.
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:44 pmNot only has Drudge removed the false story about Gore from his web site, he was also forced to remove a false story about Howard Dean and the New Orleans race.
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:45 pmhttp://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Drudge_retracts_story_on_Dean_after_0522.html
Kudos to ThinkProgress for catching this and getting the true story.
We must vow to not allow anymore "Swiftboat"-type lies to to beat down our Dem. leaders, whether they're currently candidates or not.
Good job!
May 22nd, 2006 at 5:58 pmI know of someone who reads the Drudge report everyday like it is the Gospel and he must have his fill of it to survive. How sad. Drudge rhymes with sludge and that is what fill the head of this clown whom the neocons worship.
May 22nd, 2006 at 6:05 pmshows the thugs are scared of gore.
May 22nd, 2006 at 6:23 pmHmmm...
Can people get any more hysterical?
It is entirely reasonable that even if Al Gore walked, he would have his staff (aka entourage) bring their transportation to the new location so Gore wouldn't have to walk after the event.
The difference being "Al Gore's entourage..." instead of "Al Gore & his entourage..."
Drudge has no legal liability in that case. Regardless of what you feel about him.
As for Dean allegedly working against Nagin, come on, stop acting like he pees champagne.

May 22nd, 2006 at 8:47 pmDrudge always has been, is presently, and will from now on be a sleazy tentacle of the Republican National Committee. He must cash that RNC check at least thrice weekly. He has become his own source.
May 22nd, 2006 at 9:25 pmDrudge is Sludge. Nuf said.
May 22nd, 2006 at 9:44 pmOK, at least Drudge was forced to withdraw the story -- but do you think he'll be man (and gentleman) enough to issue a formal retraction and an apology? Ha, ha -- surely you jest!
Oh, well...a girl can dream, can't she?
May 22nd, 2006 at 10:40 pmThe current administration has sent over 500,000 troops and untold tons of equipment halfway around the world to kill people in Iraq and this jerk Drudge is fretting over emmisions from a 500 yard car ride.
What an anal retentive monsterously misplaced sense of priorities and logic this guy has!
May 22nd, 2006 at 10:49 pm[...] They also pointed out Matt Drudge’s attempted smear of Gore and his new movie, which he had to retract. Personally, the more I’ve heard about what Gore has been doing over the past few years since he “lost” the presidency, the more I like him. I have no doubt that he would have a better chance than Hillary should he decide to run again. [...]
May 22nd, 2006 at 11:13 pmMatt Drudge is just another troll. Like the one's here, why waste good time on something so pathetic... Hug a child, poppy or tree instead, much more rewarding........Blessings

[...]
May 23rd, 2006 at 7:56 am[...] The folks at Think Progress contacted Gore’s staff who confirmed that Gore and his staff walked the five blocks from the Majestic Hotel to the screening in Cannes. One hour after ThinkProgress reported this, even the normally shameless Sludge, er, Drudge, removed the claim from his site. [...]
May 23rd, 2006 at 8:07 amThe hurricane season is almost here again and basically nothing has been done to protect New Orleans from another bad cane this summer! If N.O. gets hit again it will probably be the end of New Orleans as a city, especially if the historic French Quarter is completely destroyed?!

Not content to just be wrong about Howard Dean, El DrudgeBo also apparently posted some false flag information about Al Gore. Again, we await Howard Kurtz's wrath....

May 23rd, 2006 at 12:25 pmIn the "a little deception goes a long ways" department, here is a quote from a letter to the editor published in a Helena (Montana) newspaper on May 24:
"Former Vice President Gore wants Americans to become worried about global warming. OK. Where is his concern? In a recent Internet news story about his global warming movie in Cannes, France, Gore and his entourage used five vehicles to travel a measly 500 yards to get to the film festival.
Imagine how much pollution those five vehicles emitted while saving Gore and his entourage from having to walk a whole 500 yards. Yep, Gore sure is concerned about global warming."
It only took two days for Drudge's smear to go from outright lie to political reality, at least in eyes of those ignorant to believe a single word that comes out of Drudge's mouth. Granted, we are talking about the right wing's faithful backwater base here, but the mere fact that such blatant lies are repeated as if it were an established fact speaks volumes to Drudge's ability to help the Republican's spin machine perpetuate the never ending stream of lies coming out of the White House.

May 25th, 2006 at 11:37 amso drudge comes out with an unsourced story first, you bash him for lying about it (you really think gore's people are going to admit something like that?!) so now reuters comes out with the story (oh a source!) you still bash drudge?!! i don't get it.
next you'll say that reuters took the unsourced story from drudge, and they're all misled.

Rueters seems to be defending Gore. They even have a comment from "the representative". What kind of source is that? Either way, their defense of the Drudge statement just lends credibility to the original report.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:42 am
90%of you are just as bad, if not worse, than what you are accusing Drudge of. You speak of slander and defamation by Mr. drudge, and turn around and do the same to him. Baseless lies. Grow up. All of you. Take a look at his site right now, and see that he DID have a source he got that tidbit from, and DID NOT make it up. So busy whining and defending your hypocrite that you jump down the throat instantly of anyone who opposes rather than letting them have the opportunity to defend themselves. And it turns out that YOU ALL were wrong, and Mr. Gore DID in fact drive.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:43 amTypical communist liberals.
Hey, Drudge wouldn't be around, you know, if Al Gore didn't invent the Internet.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:43 amIt is very simple. Liberals don't want to talk about how liberals fly around the world in provate jets (well, just the rich ones in Hollywood and politics) and how that is a total waste of precious resources. Lets make a deal. Lets tax all private jets that fly less than full. $100,000 per empty seat as a start. Who gets hurt, the poor? No way, they don't even fly. So this would be the most progressive tax possible. While we're at it, lest tax jet fuel when used in any private application at 100%. There again, an envioronmentally friendly tax that is progressive. And while we're at it, who needs to make $20,000,000 a year? No one. So lets tax all entertainment salaries after a "fair wage" of $5,000,000, at a 95% rate. What do you say?

May 25th, 2006 at 11:45 amHA HA HA HA! AL GORE IS A MORON! GLOBAL WARMING OH NO...WHAT DOES HE THINK THE SUN IS SUPPOSED TO STAY A CONSTANT TEMPERATURE ALL THE TIME AND NEVER CHANGE?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:45 amI'm sure Gore walked over the ocean to France! I have used 1/10th the energy that Gore and the rest of you global warming pukes have in my life time! Tip for you all, pavement causes Global warming. Do yourselves a favor and looking into long term weather patterns of earth, you pukes might learn something!
May 25th, 2006 at 11:46 amDoes no one bother to mention the 70 second ad that shows how much pollution Gore caused by flying his jet all over the place? Those reports have been out since the Clinton days, and Gore is abusing a lot more resources than any common person can.
The majority of people don't have SUVs or Humvees, or any of that, and the gas crisis already caused any poor to not use them. Since the majority is poor, only the rich have the ability to do that. Gore isn't telling all of his rich buddies not to drive around.
And don't kid yourselves, most of those politicians and ex-politicans are rich, be it from legal or illegal money.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:46 amThink Progress' needs to check its facts. The Drudge Report story was based on a May 22 Rueters report. That report even gets an acknowledgement from a Gore or Paramount representative that Gore's bloated entourage caravaned in 5 cars a short distance to a Cannes function. But that's apparenlty OK becuase such a practice is "common" at these types of elitist events according to the rep.
Gore needs to lay off the preaching and mix in a salad once in a while. He is starting to look and sound like the bloviated Michael Moore.

Maybe whoever wrote the article on the head of this page should actually read the reuters article:
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
He DID ride in the cars for 500 meters. So he walked at a different time. It seems like Drudge didn't make anything up. Perhaps your vision is clouded guys. What do you think?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:48 amMaybe if you leftys actually read the linked article you would see that it was a Reuters report not a Drudge Report. All he did was link the article cuz it was kinda funny and a good rib. Read it:http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
May 25th, 2006 at 11:48 amACTUALLY READ IT....don't just assume and them emote all over the place. They took cars to Cannes Festival activities and for the premiere he walked...jeez so sensitive you leftys are. Ease up and get a life.
Can you jackasses read? Dridge linked to an Reuters article which said Gore's team drove 500 meters and his people acknowledged this fact by saying it was a normal practice at the festival to arrive in a car. It was no a Drudge dream, unlike the world in which you live!
May 25th, 2006 at 11:48 amWhat do you mean UNSOURCED STORY?
Drudge links to news stories on other sites (including the lefty media), and you can read it and weep right here on Reuters:
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
Don't blame Drudge because Al Gore is a hypocrite and "invented the internet."
May 25th, 2006 at 11:49 amAl Gore is a political opportunist. This bandwagon he is on highlights his hypocrisy. For an average American family, driving a 6 cylinder sedan, filled once a week-they'd have to drive 92 years just to catch up with what Gore burned on airforce 2 going to and from environmental events. That is an indisputable truth. What next? "Getting it on" for virginity, Burning crosses against racism, lying for the truth? Which will it be.
Gore is a hypocrite. Thinkprogress is a flack-site. So drop the koolaid and hang your heads in shame. Shmucks!
May 25th, 2006 at 11:49 amHey dufuses, check out this link! Is Reuters a tool of the right? http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
May 25th, 2006 at 11:49 amHaha
"Drudge smears gore"
"UPDATE II" - Ummmm, nevermind Reuters confirmed it.
Maybe they need update an update III "thinkprogress.org smears Drudge"
May 25th, 2006 at 11:50 amWhere is the outrage on here towards Reuters??????? That hard right bunch over there made the first post of this story, They should be tarred and feathered for giving Drudge the chance to post this story. Of course Gore walked across the ocean to Cannes so he wouldn't use any jet fuel either.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:50 amWhy don't you guys even want to know the truth?
How much CO2 does big Al create while flying all over the world?
You can see it here.
http://streams.cei.org/
May 25th, 2006 at 11:50 amGore is a looser. Always has been and always will be.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:51 amHaha
Big headline - "Drudge smears Gore"
"UPDATE II" - Ummmm, nevermind Reuters confirmed Drudges story.
Maybe they need update an update III "thinkprogress.org smears Drudge"
May 25th, 2006 at 11:51 amThis wonderful wonderful page needs a nice hammer and sickle! Gore Bore ought to reinvent the Internet and exclude Drudge! Is there anyone on this site over the age of 15?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:51 amthis website has lost all credibility, and so have the morons that posted against drudge in here
May 25th, 2006 at 11:52 amDrudge on one side and all the networks on the other (ABC,NBC,CBS) , so I think you liberal doughfaces should grow up.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:53 amReuters reported the short carbon positive drive of Al Gorge as normal practice, Am I to beleve you think thay are in on this massive coverup?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:54 amSo it's true Al Gore cares more about his image than the newest cause dejour (global warming). Come on people see it for what it is a bash at capitalism. Remember hippies campfires cause co2 also.
Well at least he didn't make up a bunch of bull sh*t on global warming like Gore..
May 25th, 2006 at 11:54 amYou people are unbelieveable. Drudge doesn't just print stories. He has LINKS! It was reported by Reuters and I read it there before Drudge. So if you have a problem, argue with them. He was seen by witnesses. Then, when he found out there was a controversy about it, he began walking everywhere. Don't you all realize that 90% of ALL politicians, Dem and GOP, are hypocrits?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:54 amYeah, like the guy that 'invented' the internet, the guy that had a lake drained so he could row a canoe across a 2" deep stream, a guy that delivers a global warming warning in NYC on the coldest day on record for NYC, etc, etc, etc, isn't above a lie about riding in a car.
What a laugh!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 11:55 amhttp://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
Then again .... Maybe there is truth in Drudge's story.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:56 amI love the shear arrogance of human beings in relation to global warming. We have been recording daily temperatures for just over 100 years, and we have the audacity to say that we KNOW why the earth is heating up at this point in time?? Over its MILLIONS of YEARS of history the earth has been much HOTTER and COLDER than right now without humans making a difference. Do I believe we should reduce our emissions...yes...but mainly so that we have better air to breathe and improve our environment. There are so many factors that have to do with weather and climate that frankly we just don't understand yet. Remember one of the first things you are taught in a college science class is that science can not PROVE anything. We merely have to accept as fact something that can not be disproven at this time, because we are constantly discovering new, previously unknown factors every day(this goes for all our knowledge not just global warming.)
May 25th, 2006 at 11:57 amDrudge was telling the truth. He walked to the screening from the festival but drove to the festival from the hotel.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:57 amDrudge posted a LINK to a Rueters article you dummies. He did not claim anything but merley reporting on a story written by others. I guess FACTS get in the way of a good argument, huh?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:57 amReuters, who believes a right wing service media establishment like them anyways.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:57 amWe all know that the inventor of the INTERNET would never lie about global warming either.
I'd like to point out that Drudge simplye beat Reuters to the punch with the story. Here's the text as it seems most who read this site have not read it.
"Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars. The representative said that arriving at events like photocalls and news conferences in cars was normal practice in Cannes. And Gore walked the shorter distance from another hotel to the festival for the movie's screening."
Perhaps picking the "proper" fight might be more inorder to prove one's point. Civil arguements begin with the facts. Perhaps THINK PROGRESS, quoted here "UPDATE II: Reuters reports that Gore was seen using a car at another time during the Cannes film festival," would be better served and could more articulately address the issue if they actually lead with a factual head line. "A" car implies only one was used when the actual story by Reuters articultes they were seen in several vehicles.
Its semantics, but at the end of the day, if you are going to critize Drudge for running misleading headlines that now appear to be supported by Reuters, you should also be sure to not mislead your own readers with your your lead-in tags.
Beyond these arguements, if Gore flying all over the world to promote his movie, I'd like to see Wired run an article on HIS Carbon Footprint.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:58 amEvery once in a while I stumble across something like this--a sort of partisan pity party rant. The interesting thing is that the rage, juvenile invective, inability to de-center and irrationality are common to both sides. The extreme left and right are two sides of the same coin, distinguishable only by the tag words each uses to stake their ideological position.
I could go to an equally crazy rightwing blog and get the exact same inability to think critically--just a different polarity. It's a fascinating human phenomenon--the ablity to completely close out another veiwpoint and demonize anyone not enfrahnchised in your heterodoxy.
The wonderful thing though is that the US two party, EC variant of democracy succeeds in filtering these extremes to the edge of the debate--the more kooky on the left or right you are, the less say you have in policy. It means that while you are voluably ugly, you're powerless.
Yayyy democracy--it works!!
May 25th, 2006 at 11:58 amDrudge is merely pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the eco-nazis of the Left. Do as I say, not as I do. Let's check and see if Gore flew commercial or charter to get to Canne... want to take bets?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:58 amYou idiot libs, I read through the first ten comments and feel dumber for having done so. Drudge posted the links to several stories - one from the AP, your favorite lib "news" organization - backing his claim up. Oops, liberalism at its best, I truly can't wait until you libs finally become the second class citizens you are.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:58 amThe Drudge site only picks up stories from other news sources. I doubt you'll see Gore moving out of his huge home in Tennessee to save the environment. He's just another phony, like most politicians, which includes Republicans.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:59 amAl Gore is a Moron so it does not surprise me to see him pushing a non-fact such as global warming. You clowns say neo-cons are scare mongers! At least terrorism is a proven fact you idiots. Oh ya 9-11 happened, global warming is'nt.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:59 amThese comments are hilarious. No wonder democrats have been out of power so long. Keep up the good work.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:00 pmgee libs, seems you got smacked in the face with an "Inconvenient Truth" yourself! - I suppose you goofs who went off half cocked have some apology emails to write!
you know, it is possible to agree with the dudes policies (although I dont) and NOT swallow every attempt at theatrics he throws at you
May 25th, 2006 at 12:00 pmActually, his source is right there on the site. Its a Reuters article. Seems a little silly to even be mentioning it up here.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:01 pmThinkprogress actually claims to be nonpartisan? You're about as nonpartisan as Matt Drudge and Michael Savage. Drudge and Savage should apply for tax-exemption immediately...
Not only is it remarkably obvious that you are a liberal organization based solely on your biographies, Tom Daschle, maybe the most partisan Senator of our generation, is a contributor.
The far left, which you undoubtedly are a part of, and the far right make me absolutely nauseous.
The fact that your orginization has qualified to be tax-exempt is an absolute joke. And, speaks volumes to the sorry state of our country during these times.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:01 pmThe most recent update on this site is inaccurate (intentionally dishonest?)
May 25th, 2006 at 12:02 pmTP states "Gore was seen using a car" while the Reuters report linked states "Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars."
Hate Bush and Drudge all you like, but that does nothing to make Gore right.
Fanatics of any stripe are distasteful, but the degree to which the Bush-haters will lie and make stuff up is simply laughable.
When I first saw this story, I thought "So What?!"
Yet when I see the tizzy into which the ABBers have worked themselves, all I can do is laugh and shake my head.
When did "Democrat" come to mean "willingly deluded fool"?
All of you Angry Leftists need to stop complaining about the "Evil Neocons" whose only crime is to offer ideas on the process of government. The fact that you blindly side with the party that can only obstruct and undermine the government shows that there is more than one side that can be brainwashed. Constructive criticism and feasible ideas by a realistic Democrat would go a log further in challenging the Bush administration. By the way, since Bush got reelected, where is that draft that everybody said he'd reinstate? Where are the millions in poverty caused by Welfare reform? How is globabl warming causing frost in May? And why would Drudge link to this site?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:02 pmIt's manbearpig stupid
May 25th, 2006 at 12:03 pmThe report about AlGore driving big, fat cars as he promotes his satirical enironmental movie is plausable. Just like Ariana Huffington flying cross country in her private jet conducting telephone interviews about how SUVs are a disgrace because of the low fuel mileage.
Once again, those who do not like the message attack the messenger. Drudge Report is more accurate than most politicians and public figures would like it to be.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:03 pmWouldn't it be fun to be a hippy piece of crap and criticize everyone and evereything that didn't perfectly match your ideology? Accountability??? No way. That's not for me, just for everyone I else. You could also be a defender of free speach and at the same time try to muffle the voices of your opponent. You lefties are what you hate...HYPOCRITES.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:04 pmDid he walk across country to get there or did he fly in a jet plane? And Drudge mainly provides links to stories. Gore is a hypocrite and no incorrect news story will change that.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:04 pmBear in mind-in the 70s-we were worried about gobal cooling! The world is warming up, geological records say the earth has done this hundreds of times. It has also cooled on as many occassions. This was without the help of man.
The scientific community is still coming to grips with this. Gore's stance is alarmist, his practice hypocrytical.
Drudge simply provides links. Some level the right, others the left. thinkprogress is just another flack site, looking to push a political agenda for the purpose of gaining power over our lives. Any wonder we dislike you.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:05 pmSo now the small, hardly read, never-heard-of-before-Drudge-linked-to-you website known as thinkprogress.org has just had it's 15 minutes of fame. Time to issue a big THANK YOU to Drudge for your free publicity. Enjoy it while it lasts, for your hit count will be back down to the measly few hundred per month that it was before Drudge decided to honor you with a link.
Although I must say it was a very humorous diversion to read all the Sore-Loserman comments on this site!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:05 pmAfter reading several of these inane posts, there is no doubt why the Democratic Party is known as the Looney Left. Just read what you have written. Just listen to how it sounds when you say it outloud. There is no logic or rational thought to it.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:05 pmOver the past 100 million years (less than 1% of the earths history) the earth was 5-10 degrees celcius WARMER than than it is today. (I'm sure if you search, you can find a more exact number) Therefore, you could conclude that global warming is returning the earth to its natural balance, where it should be. Not only that, but it was warmer in 1,000 AD than it is today...before the past mini ice age. So why don't you use science to realize global warming is not the end of the world...just the end of the world as we know it. (Which is not a bad thing). You liberals could consider it progress if you choose.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:06 pmGore says that the entire world community of scientists are in consensus that humans are causing global warming. Why all the debate then? Because there is no consensus. Just because Gore says he invented the internet doesn't make it true...
May 25th, 2006 at 12:06 pmThis is hilarious. This entire page started out with a bunch of liberal's getting together and agreeing with each other, then drudge links to this page after he proves his story, and now all of you cowards flee in the face of facts and common sense. can't you see how truly pathetic you all look?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:07 pmThanks for nothing Drudge.
And to you wannabe-conservatives - Go to your own websites to publish this trash. Your thinly veiled fascism isn't wanted here.
The fact is, YOUR failed guy (Bush) has brought us to this point, where 70% of Americans don't like him. Ah, I long for the days of sex scandals and NOT 2400 soldiers dead (not from hunting down Bin Laden, but from Cheney's War in Iraq).
For shame on all of you criminals!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:07 pmI have just read everyone else's comments. Looks like I am not alone is wondering what thinkprogress was thinking. I guess now thinkprogress will apologize to Drudge???? I think not, but they can sure demand a Drudge apology to Gore, can't they? Those dems. Thank goodness Al Gore invented the internet.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:08 pmI think you guys are full of hate. It was just a mistake, do any of you ever make one of those? Chill out!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:08 pmInsert TwilightZone theme song here
May 25th, 2006 at 12:09 pmIts amazing how much crap can be stirred up just because someone drove to an event! Oh, wait, he walked! No wait, he drove. Who cares about a wanna be!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:09 pmOf course Gore drove. He only wants conservation for the average citizen. He can live in a huge house that cost a small fortune to heat and cool, but we need to conserve. We he takes an international flight he does not have to be on a private plane, but he often is. Oh the hypocrisy of it all...
May 25th, 2006 at 12:09 pmPerhaps AlGore did walk a few blocks to watch a few films at Cannes. For sake of argument let us accept that as the truth.
No matter. That is not the half of it.
AlGore still criss-crosses the globe burning thousands and thousands of gallons of fuel and spewing loads of the very pollutants he is whining about.
The incovenient truth is AlGore's rank hypocrisy.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:10 pmI wonder how many homes Al Gore has? I wonder if he heats and cools those homes? I wonder if the homes are made of wood harvested from US forest? I wonder what all of the private jumbo jets that Al Gore uses to get from place to place are fueled with? I wonder if Al Gore watches television? I wonder if Al Gore thinks of any of this as he looks at his fat face in the mirror?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:10 pm"The only way for someone like Gore to stop this is to sue Drudge, perhaps for malicious intent"
If George Bush took that same initiative, he should sue every news agency besides Fox then...
morons.....
May 25th, 2006 at 12:11 pmSorry guys the only thing wrong in the report was that it was the screening vs a news conference.. Same princple-great ideas for the pions not for us elite. " Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars. The representative said that arriving at events like photocalls and news conferences in cars was normal practice in Cannes. And Gore walked the shorter distance from another hotel to the festival for the movie's screening."
May 25th, 2006 at 12:11 pmHow come the Earth was going to go through another ice age when I was in school in the 1970s?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:11 pmHow can we measure the depths of the ocean when we can't even reach the bottom of the Atlantic?
How can glaciers that melt raise the level of the oceans? Does melting ice in your glass filled to the brim with water overflow the glass?
Why should the US sign any treaty that prevents us from a strong economy while developing third world nations don't have to do anything and are polluting the world worse than the US?
Can anybody tell me what the weather in Baltimore MD will be in 10 days? 5 days? Tomorrow? Then how do you know what the weather on this planet was 100 million years ago?
The Left-Wing hypocrits need to shut up. You have gotten your way on making a disgusting sex act mainstream, you want people who break the law to invade our country, and you have managed to remove Jesus Christ from our society in lieu of Wiccans and Buddhans. I don't care about your diversity, any man who would rather look at another man's hairy smell ass as a sexual desire is a sick freak, and the White European Male is what made this country great. Civil War is coming and the left will be the first to feel the grip of death.
If you think the Cannes Limo story was crap, you should have seen what was linked from the Drudgereport between 10am-11am CT this morning. I will share: It was a link to CEI.org and a video that they put together showing how much Gore has had to travel accross the country to show his original slide presentation. It was stupid. Don't get me wrong - I've not been a fan of Al's but surffice it to say that any idiot could conclude that maybe the reason that Gore had this movie made - which has the potential to reach a much wider audience in theaters or DVD's - was once again to do his part to cut back on all those trips!
Whether you buy Gore's version of "global warming" or not is really beside the point. He is right about the weather patterns changing to the extreme and it MAY HAVE been something we all caused in the name of "progress." And there may not be anything that we can do about it at this point - except pray for God's mercy on us all.
Brian
May 25th, 2006 at 12:11 pmAND YOU CONSERVATIVES DON'T THINK . . . .
Look at the screen grab at the top of the Page.
At the time ThinkProgress posted this page, Drudge WAS unsourced.
He put the Reuters link on his site today. That screen grab above is from the 22nd!
So use some common sense. Whoops - forgot - Conservatives think common sense has a liberal bias.
Thank God for Stephen Colbert
May 25th, 2006 at 12:12 pmhey, wait theres video now. Don't you all look like smucks
May 25th, 2006 at 12:12 pmFor one thing, the influence of Leo Strauss can be regarded as the result of a pre-fascist atmosphere in America. It appears that the American state, with its unelected president, venal Supreme Court, silent Congress, gutted Bill of Rights and compliant media leads our attention to the seizure of the Iraqi Oil Ministry. Clearly, the apparent demise of "anti-Americanism" as a respectable means of stifling recognition of American imperialism brings about the final subjugation of the Middle East, beginning with the $90bn invasion of Iraq. Perhaps for the first time since the late 1940s, Americanism as an ideology represents the crushing of internal dissent in order to propagate the essential Western imperial interests.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:12 pmWait Global Warming!
The world temp. has rose an unacceptable .6 degrees in the last 100 years. The temp in the U.S. has actully decreased. According to scientists. But every one will tell you that no thermometer is right. So who knows. Al Gore knows. Yea right.
DRILL DRILL DRILL
May 25th, 2006 at 12:13 pmMORE OIL MORE OIL MORE OIL.
Get a clue. Gore is all in it for himself. I happen to think global warming is a product of the fear factory. That's only because I am an engineer and know when a technical person is blowing smoke up my arse.
However that is not the salient point here. The point to keep in mind is that if you libs want to be taken seriously.....GET A SERIOUS CANDIDATE.
Classy Lib = Tony Blair
Cheesy Lib = Al Gore.
And finally regarding Drudge...... you guys do not like him because he is effective. It has nothing to do with his fidelity to the truth. Its my experience the emotionalism and self centered nature of libs does not require much in the way of truth anyway.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:13 pmYou libs are stupid. He posted his source on the site. Once again facts don't matter only your feelings. Gore is wrong about warming and if you care to see some facts just go to junkscience.com for all the proof you need.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:13 pmSo Drudge reports "500 yards from hotel to screening" rather than "500 meters from hotel to Cannes festival headquarters" and this is considered a false smear? Gore has a HUGE carbon footprint, he should shut up and stay home.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:14 pmI have lived in Nashville my whole life and watched Al Gore make up things about Republicans a long time. Something that is true that I have seen myself: Tipper drives a vintage Mustang that is very far from economical!!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:15 pmThis website is a fine example of left wing trash. Typical liberal response. Attack, attack, attack. Damn the truth....full steam ahead!!!
No wonder you guys are losing.....just keep up what you're doing. We love it!!!
Run, Hillary Run!! If she wins your party's nomination, you can kiss your party good-bye.......
May 25th, 2006 at 12:15 pmGood grief, you guys are all completely nuts. Get some therapy for God's sake.
If any of you had actually bothered to, you know... read the damned link, you would see that it wasn't something that Drudge "pulled out of his a**" or a "Republican smear", or whatever other dillusional labels you wish to apply to it. It was a Reuters wire story. Even the headline Drudge used came directly from the Reuters wire story. That probably has something to do with the fact that the headline is preceded with the word "WIRE:" in captial letters on Drudge's page.
Alright, go on now bashing the evil Neocon Reuters cabal at its India bureau, those evil Bush shills.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:15 pmThe lying libertarian right tries to smear Gore with "facts." Little do they know, but true leftists do not care about facts and reality, but SOCIAL JUSTICE. See here for their pathetic logical and reasoned debate:

May 25th, 2006 at 12:15 pmThanks to Drudge for linking to this website. Based on my 2 minute perusal of the comments here I can safely say there is no need to return.
Please rename the site more appropriately. Something like dontthinkatall.org.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:15 pmHey LibsYou know what is really going to suck for you? To see you wallow in your misery from 2008 to 2016 when GOP is still in charge. MwahaHAHAHAHA....(payback is hell...Clinton/Gore 1992 to 2000). Have a great day!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:15 pmGlobal Warming is a myth blown out of proportion by the idiot liberal n i g g e r s in this country, f u c k every last one of you welfare hoarding entitlement craving wastes of space.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:16 pmI live in Chicago. 10 years ago the water in Lake Michigan was at very high levels. We were told by climate experts then that the Lake levels would continue to rise due to global warming. By this time Michigan Avenue was predicted to be under water. Many communities along the lake spent millions of dollars trying to ward off the "inevitable" erosion of the coastal bluffs. Now the lake levels are at near historic lows and you guessed it, this is attributed to global warming.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:16 pmAnyone who has studied science knows how hard it is to draw reliable conclusioins about a system with a small number of controllable variables. The climate involves a large number of uncontrollabe variables. Perhaps some readers might be interested to see what the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT has to say about current global warming hysteria. http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110008220
you all need to read this!

May 25th, 2006 at 12:16 pmAren't livestock flatulence the number one cause of greenhouse gasses? And I could be wrong but I seem to remember reading in National Geographic a while back that one volcanic eruption's gases probably equals the contributions of all of mankind's history. Global Warming due to man is a moneymaking machine and extremely shortsighted as well as naive. Oh well believe what you want in a couple of years there will be something else to cry about.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:17 pmYou people are pitiful to behold. No wonder your candidates can't win elections anymore. DrudgeReport simply posts links to "legitimate" news sources. I don't understand why you all get so bent out of shape anyway. The only difference between Republicans and Democrats today is the spelling. Vote Libertarian. No, wait a minute, Libertarians are for legalization of drugs and open borders. Hell, I guess there isn't a party out there that truly represents American values anymore.
And as far as global warming goes, puh-lease there's more evidence to support evolution than global warming. And there's no evidence supporting evolution. It takes more faith to believe in the worldly religions of evolution and global warming than to simply believe in God. It's really a non-issue since most Americans do believe in God and Jesus Christ instead of some bill of goods being pushed by a bunch of self hating, anti-American, globalist pigs being led around like rats by the pied piper. Hopefully I didn't offend any rats by comparing them to today's Left.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:17 pmTo all the delusional hypocrits - read the story. Just because Drudge keeps pointing out 'inconvenient truths' doesn't make them lies. Bill C. said he didn't have sex with that woman, Drudge said he did. Who was correct? Drudge LINKED to an article that indicated a 500 metre car ride by "Mr Global Warming" aka GORON, and you call Drudge a liar. Anybody who will not think critically, even about the politicians he or she supports, should not be allowed to vote. We need people that will see the bad as well as the good about the politicians we are electing. Grow up and start THINKING like adults. Thinking is what is supposed to separate us from the rest of the animals.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:18 pm"And to you wannabe-conservatives - Go to your own websites to publish this trash. Your thinly veiled fascism isn’t wanted here."
Ahhh...celebrate diversity

May 25th, 2006 at 12:18 pmGore is an elitist?!
Bush and Cheney are the biggest elitists to ever hold office.
Why poor rural white men continue to support an administration that, while looking like you, is every bit as effete and pretentious and inbred as the British monarchy is beyond all reason.
How many of you went to Yale and have grandfathers who sold weapons to the Nazis?
Stop supporting Bush, his family's war, and his family's fortune.
Instead, work on making this country truly a meritocracy - where anyone, not just a Bush, can have access to wealth and real power.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:19 pmReuters India 2006. All Rights Reserved.
A representative affiliated with "An Inconvenient Truth", a film about global warming involving former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, has stressed that the movie and Gore's tour to promote it are "carbon neutral".
Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars. The representative said that arriving at events like photocalls and news conferences in cars was normal practice in Cannes. And Gore walked the shorter distance from another hotel to the festival for the movie's screening.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:21 pmgore is a bloated, pathetic and above all hypocritical figure completely out of touch with reality. nobody is fooled by him and anybody that still defends this loser needs some new cool aid.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:21 pmhaHA... You mess with Drudge, you get the horns. Since you were complaining about him repeating a story on the wire about Gore killing the environment:
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
he decided to link you. Now you can hardly get into the site.
Still think Drudge is some chump? What does this server problem tell you about the number of users regularly getting on to this site? His secondary click traffic alone can cripple this place.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:21 pm#143. Funny that in the face of the facts you go right back to spewing the same crap you libs have been spewing since bush first won office. How is posting the truth about The Drudge Report trash? Maybe you should question 'you own website' about their justification of publishing erronious information about Matt Drudge. And since when is it 'your own website'?
70% of Americans dislike Bush? Polls and statistics mean absolutely nothing. Polls are merely fashioned to show the outcome that the polling party wishes to show. The real poll will be during the next presidential election...the only poll that counts. Remember me when us 'wannabe-conservatives' are enjoying another house majority and another 'wannabe-conservative' president is elected.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:24 pm175 comments and not one of your paranoid lefties mentions that THIS WAS AN REUTERS WIRE STORY. Blame Reuters, not Drudge.
Yeah right, AP, part of the vast right-wing conspiracy.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:24 pmWho is the smearer??? If you follow the link which Drudge posted, it wasn't Drudge, rather Reuters that repoerted the driving 500 feet. Drudge just had a link to the story. So to me it seems you are smearing Drudge and protecting Rueters.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:24 pmIts simple actualle Gore drove, but not on the day reported. On the day reported, he walked. Thats all there is...
May 25th, 2006 at 12:25 pmIf Al Gore did walk and everyone "says" they saw him, with all the photographers around where is the picture. A picture like that would say a 1000 words....
May 25th, 2006 at 12:25 pmDrudge is such a hack. I know for a fact that he makes up most of his "insider" quotes because I work at a company that he actually "quoted" once. Its actually not to hard to spot. Anytime he uses an exclamation mark in a quote, chances are he made it up. The only stories more fantastical than the political ones he makes up are when he tells people he is straight.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:26 pmI didn't realize that so many liberal "lemmings" could write such unbelievable drivel. Lets talk about the mega gallons of jet fuel Al has used to fly around the country, in his 707, spouting his idiotic attention getting junk science. Ulterior motive anybody? At the very least, some history of this planet's cyclic weather changes would be in order. Al seems to ignore this.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:27 pmYou people are all total idiots! Gore is nothing but an anti-American who will do anything to keep his face in the media. He doesn't give a rats ass about the environment and to think he does is pure ignorance. Why doesn't he be a good little loser and bury his face in obscurity. He and Kerry can exchange stories about losing the election. The American people spoke in 2000 and the result was..WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM AL GORE ANYMORE! Same went for Kerry in 2004. God Bless America and GOD BLESS PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:27 pmYou liberals are full of crap. Look at all the hate filled venomous lies from MoveOn.org, LCV, etc.
Then drudge posts a story without sources for a couple of days and you libs start with the hate filled speech.
But a couple of days later, the sources come out, and you guys are still spitting your hatred.
While there are some intolerant conservatives (Coulter and O'Reilly), I find almost all liberals are intolerant of opposing opinions. Liberals tend to be pompous jerks who believe they are superior, and anyone who disagrees is either evil or stupid.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:27 pmKeep drinking the Kool Aid.....Al Gore is perfect....he does nothing wrong....all liberal politicians are perfect......no liberal politician is crooked......conservatives are ruining the country......they are evil and want to take over the world.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:28 pmKeep drinking the Kool Aid.....Al Gore is perfect....he does nothing wrong....all liberal politicians are perfect......no liberal politician is crooked......conservatives are ruining the country......they are evil and want to take over the world.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:28 pmHey LibsYou know what is really going to suck for you? To see you wallow in your misery from 2008 to 2016 when the GOP is still in charge. MwahaHAHAHAHA....(payback is hell...1992 to 2000 Clinton/Gore).
May 25th, 2006 at 12:29 pmHey LibsYou know what is really going to suck for you? To see you wallow in your misery from 2008 to 2016 when the GOP is still in charge. MwahaHAHAHAHA....(payback is hell...1992 to 2000 Clinton/Gore) it must really suck to be a liberal..Hey, maybe ya'll can get a radio show for libs...ummm call it AmericaThi..no, no...how about Air America...yeah that's a winner!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:32 pmEver noticed that the usual "going to hell in a handbag" story about "Global Warming" usually comes out during the summer months, when it's hot? Sometimes, they go to a part of the world during the winter where the weather happens to be 40 degrees when the average temperature is 32, so that must be a sign of global warming. In other words, the media uses their scare tactics and promotes their agenda, which is leftist, for those who didn't know, to state that we're all going to cook in this gloom-and-doom world we live in. What is the ultimate goal of the left and media? Is it to get the U.S. to sign the Kyoto Agreement? Someone please advise. I'm here to learn from fellow bloggers and from my mistakes. God bless you and God bless America.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:32 pmHow could anybody support Al Gore.......a loser in his own state, county, precinct, and nations.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:32 pmIf this is a carbon-neutral event, how are people getting overseas? Airplanes arent carbon neutral, only sailboats were last time I checked. Not to disagree, but I just dont see it.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:33 pmGore cant fly to all of these events and claim carbon neutral.
You all need to go scheck out http://www.junkscience.com and check out the truth on global warming from scientists and not a hypocrit
May 25th, 2006 at 12:35 pmHow do you miopic lovers of this truly mentally deranged man (Gore) think he gets around to show his presentation, "a thousand times" he says. Chartered private jet! Some "carbon footprint" he's leaving all of us. Not to mention the "Methane footprint"
May 25th, 2006 at 12:36 pmfrom all the b.s. he spews!!
You kool-aid drinkers just can't handle the truth! Get off of my internet!
Just think, another republican congress, then another republican president, then we're comin' for you!
Seriously, I fear for my country that there are people gullible enough to buy what this sick man has to offer. He was almost president...YIKES!
I knew from the second I looked at this site, it consisted of a bunch of whining, crybaby libbys. Gag!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:36 pmHow could anyone smear the creator of the internet. And why didn't Al carry TN in the 2000 election?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:37 pmYes. Gore is an elitist. As is Kerry, Bush and Cheney. Don't let your ideology and apparent dislike of those that disagree with your views blind you to that fact. Neither the leadership on the right nor on the left is pushing for, in the final calculus, a position that is different. The Repbulicans want to create a nanny state in the guise of protecting you from terrorism. The Democrats want to create a nanny state in the guise of protecting the environment. In both cases it is the liberty of the citizenry that is lost.
Poor rural white men supported the Bush administration because they agreed with the positions of the same and could not relate to an East Coast Establishment Liberal such as Kerry. Has the DNC learned nothing from the past two election cycles? If you want to connect with the rural poor your party will need to run a candidate that is a southern populist. No more gun grabbing. No more hard San Francisco Liberal positions on the positons of the day.
BTW... how does going to school at Yale make one an elitist? And since when do we hold people responsible for the actions of other people (their grandfathers)?
If you wish to create a meritocracy then stop punishing people for attempting to become successful with the "progressive" income tax. The old money families like the Bushes and those who earn a grossly disproportionate wage for their "work" such as the celebritards have wealth - which is not taxed, allows them to become entrenched in the sociopolitical landscape and penalizes the rest of us.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:37 pmDamn, there are still idiots who think Gore won in 2000? Who'd have thunk it. Even Gore admits he lost. Get over it.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:37 pmHmmmmmmmm..... Who should I believe? Drudge/gore gore/Drudge I've be Gored before...... My VOTE is for Drudge......
May 25th, 2006 at 12:38 pmGORE IS A BORE!!!!
Whatdya say we really do "move on"?
Liberals lie, it's simply their nature.
Has anyone at all ever even heard of this silly a$$ site before today. Well, you've got Drudge to thank now don't you?!?!?!
Have a good 'un, you liberal freaks!!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:39 pmI leave you with my mission statement:
"Once again, we see that "tolerant" liberals are the LEAST tolerant people around. Their statement can be reduced to "Your beliefs are fine, as long as they don't include the belief that my beliefs are wrong. However, MY belief that YOU are wrong must not only be tolerated, but accepted and supported by all."
May 25th, 2006 at 12:39 pm#157, I hear you
To all you wingnuts - welcome to ThinkProgress. Thanks for the traffic.
Since all of you believe in the President and His Family's War so wholehertedly, it is my sincere wish you will demonstrate that support, as some of us have, and get off your duffs, and sign up for duty.
Fascism, for the record, is like Naziism. They are anti-diversity, and there's no room for them.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:39 pmYou liberal/communist pukes dont have a clue,THE FIRST DAY HE RODE LIKE DRUDGE REPORTED ,THEN AL BORES HANDLERS DISCOVERED THEY SCREWED UP AFTER LOOKING AT DRUDGE THAT NIGHT SO THEY WALKED THE NEXT DAY SO THEY WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO WHINE ABOUT AND CRY FOUL....YOU COMMIE PUKES GO TO RUSSIA IF YOU DONT LIKE IT HERE!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:40 pmHello Everyone,
I came to this “Progressive†site from a link on Drudge's site. I was reading some of the posts and immediately noticed the vulgar and dripping with hatred tone of most of your posts. If you folks represent the American Left today than I am proud to have you as political enemies.
I wish you well and hope you continue to personally prosper and your politics fail in an ever more Right leaning country. I thank my God I am not ruled by people who think like you.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:40 pmHey "unbelievable"
May 25th, 2006 at 12:42 pmTri spel checking yer posts befor sendin them
Yeah, Drudge lied about the cum stained blue dress too.
LOL
May 25th, 2006 at 12:42 pmYou are right on track Al. The most intolerant people in this world are liberals. If you disagree with anything an elitist letfy says, then you are labeled an intolerant a-hole. And if you pose a differing opinion, then you are a Nazi.
If liberals were to study their own ideological history, they might understand that liberalism is a horrible thing. (Communist Russia anyone?)
May 25th, 2006 at 12:43 pm#204 And what duty did you sign up for?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:44 pmYou goobers. Have any of you even looked at Drudge's page? He simply links to other stories. The driving link is to a story in rueters. And the walking link is to this story. So please check things out before you post.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:45 pmA bunch of red-diaper-doper-babies (a.k.a. - Communist Hippies) whining as usual. Did mommy not smoke enough pot while pregnant? Go strap yourselves to a tree or something.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:46 pmDrudge Report is links. He doesn't write these stories. The one about Gore's limo caravan was a wire story on Reuters India. Reading these comments, it looks like a lot of people here think Drudge writes what is on his site. He has a column, but 99% of the Drudge Report is just links to news sites.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:47 pmDrudge corrects his mistakes. I wish Rather could say the same.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:48 pmEr... Shouldn't that read "Reuters Falsely Smears Gore"? They were the ones who wrote the story, not Drudge. And just out of curiosity, is it possible to "truthfully smear" somebody?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:49 pmRemember in the late 70's early 80's GLOBAL COOLING WILL KILL US ALL.
GLOBING COOLING IS COMING WATCH OUT.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:50 pmWhat are the major differences between a democrat and a republican?
-Republicans blame whoever's wrong, Democrats blame whoever's white
-Income
-2 letters
Other than that you are all a bunch of slings and arrows signifying nothing.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:50 pmYou libs are hilarious. You ignore the fact that Al Gore burns more fossil fuel than a normal person during 100 lifetimes, yet try to push his fraudulent movie.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:51 pmGore never uses an automobile, an airplane or any other device that releases CO2 into the air.
(rolleyes)
Get a life you left wing nutjobs.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:52 pmGLOBAL COOLING IS KILLING ME HELP.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:52 pmZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
May 25th, 2006 at 12:52 pmThank you for leftist wacko sites like this because, like MySpace.com, it's real easy to spot the idiots.
The posts are all about hatred.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:52 pmYour site is struggling to stay up and accessible, Drudge has swamped you with the Truth!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:53 pm#199, I actually agree with some of the thing syou had to say (see, even in this charged atmosphere, some rational discourse can come about).
Those in power definitely want to stay in power - it's almost only natural.
So that's at least one thing we can agree upon.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:53 pmBut you must realize, Gore is using the amount of jet fuel a small nation would use so he will be able to reach a wider audience and "cut back" on these types of trips in the future (from Brian).
Now how's that for "thinly veiled fascisim?" LMAO, I love this site.
Now, I must get back to littering and otherwise polluting the environment, because as all of you know, all conservatives want the planet to eventually explode or just die.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:54 pmYep, Drudge never gets anything right. Clinton never fooled around in the Oral Office and Gore never took money from Chinese nationals either!!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:54 pmI wish YOU GUYS would get it right. It was Reuters who reported this. Drudge as usual, just picked up the story and linked to it. All your nonsense should be directed to Reuters.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:54 pmthe organized buffoonery of this site is utterly amazing. You can smell the old patchouli and underarm stank all the way through the net! Yay!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:55 pmThe only article on Drudge's website concerning this matter is by Reuters. It was liberal media organizations, such as Reuters, that adopted postmodern notions about the impossibility of truth and facts, not Drudge.
If you tree-huggers are so worried about excessive CO2 emissions, why aren't you out planting trees, which remove CO2 from the atmosphere? Running your mouths only creates more gases.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:55 pmDoesn't anyone remember that Bill and Al were in the white house and did absolute nothing about this, even when they had a democratic congress.
Stop screaming and think.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:56 pmDrudge always reports the truth, just like Fox news. The turth hurts, doesn't it?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:56 pmLOL....some of you are still beating that dead horse, "Gore won in 2000." I pity you poor lost souls who think Al Gore actually has a brain in that head of his. I guess I'd be miserable too if Al Gore was my hero.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:57 pmHey liberals, chickenhawk is better than chickenshit, wouldn't you agree?
May 25th, 2006 at 12:57 pmI couldn't agree more:
"I love the shear arrogance of human beings in relation to global warming. We have been recording daily temperatures for just over 100 years, and we have the audacity to say that we KNOW why the earth is heating up at this point in time?? Over its MILLIONS of YEARS of history the earth has been much HOTTER and COLDER than right now without humans making a difference. " Bullock
May 25th, 2006 at 12:58 pmI love Drudge, he's so accurate it's uncanny!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:58 pmYeah I guess Algore walked acros the ocean as well. Jet fuel isn't cheap you know.
an inconvenient truth, or a convenient lie? gore is a crazy moron, "the glaciers are melting!" has he not ever heard of water displacement, when ice melts in a drink does the drink spill out of the glass? no wonder the hemorrhoid didnt win the presidency!
May 25th, 2006 at 12:58 pmComment by Joe Calles
Seriously, I fear for my country that there are people gullible enough to buy what this sick man has to offer. He was almost president…YIKES!
With any luck, he will be.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:59 pmI think that Al Gore is a man with much to offer, and I would prefer him to Hillary as President.
I used to be a liberal, but 2 things happened:
1) I washed
2) I matured (not much, but it doesn't take much to mature beyond 'liberal')
May 25th, 2006 at 12:59 pmYou actually still believe that Gore won in 2000? Amazing! I guess the recounts meant nothing. And, you actually believe that the Right is afraid of Gore? Let me tell you, the dream ticket for Conservatives to run against is Gore and Dean. The are both totally unhinged and nothing but caricatures of serious-minded people. No intelligent, serious could vote for either of the dingbats. Get Rel!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:00 pmWell, I hate to say it, but I checked out Drudge. He's only linking to a Reuters story. Al needs a life out of politics, as do most of our Washington, D.C. Republi-crats. Maybe once half of the House members and Senators are in jail we can elect some decent people.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:00 pmFavorite commie quote of the day:
May 25th, 2006 at 1:00 pm"They are anti-diversity, and there’s no room for them."
You actually still believe that Gore won in 2000? Amazing! I guess the recounts meant nothing. And, you actually believe that the Right is afraid of Gore?

May 25th, 2006 at 1:01 pmWell this report blatantly lies and says Drudge took story off. THE STORY IS STILL ON http://www.drudgereport.com !!! So thats one strike for thinkprogress.org right off the bat.
Second of all whats the big deal? Republicans dont care that Gore drives because everybody drives. He prob put that on his site to cause a stir with the libs because they are the ones saying driving is evil.
Those defending Gore make it seem like he practices what he preaches. If you believe that you are in denial. The man flys in private jets, has parties on Yachts just like every other prominent political figure.
If Gore would stop trying to elevate himself from reality he wouldnt get all this negative press plain and simple.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:01 pmHere's another inconvenient truth: Despite all the high-minded b***s***, even European countries (whose economies suck) are unable to meet their reduced emissions standards.
And another: You are all contributing to global warming by using electricity to power your computers. Or are you all exempt, like Al Gore? Do the polar bears a favor and stop blogging.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:02 pmLiberals are like the 3 monkeys. They see, hear, and speak no evil anytime reality looks 'em square in the face. Now everyone join hands and let us chant "Bush did it".
May 25th, 2006 at 1:02 pmEven if he did walk to the festival he is still an abuser of fossil fuels.
I do not believe Drudge made up the story about all the fuel Gore wasted to go to the Global Warming conference in Kyoto.
XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT FLASH XXXXX DECEMBER 7, 1997 23:56 PST XXXXX
GLOBAL WARMING ALERT: GORE BURNS 439,500 LBS OF FUEL TO ATTEND SUMMIT
Gore's plane, a Boeing 707 gas guzzler burns on average 4.1 gallons a mile.
The complete Washington to Florida to Washington to Alaska to Japan and
return to Washington trip calculated from commercial air mileage tables is
just over 16,000 miles total. Gas gallons needed for AIR FORCE II to go
16,000 miles: 65,600. Applying the average price of $2.01 per gallon of
Jet A to the 16,000 mile r/t -- the fuel cost alone passes $131,000.00.
There are 6.7 pounds per gallon of jet fuel. Total pounds of fuel burned on
Gore's Global Warming Express -- 439,500.
Unprecedented Leadership.
Gore could have found a more efficient way to travel to the summit. Maybe he could have taken a commercial flight or is he too self important for that?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:03 pmhttp://www.drudgereportarchives.com/dsp/specialReports_pc_carden_detail.htm?reportID=%7B08FAD3B1-9FAF-4037-BF26-573B2826B2C3%7D
What a bunch of Kooks
May 25th, 2006 at 1:03 pmWell I would hang around but it is nice outside so gonna fire up my SUV and go chop down a few trees.
This is just like the time that I watched a show on global warming with the libs at work! It was all boo hoo hoo look what they are doing to the earth. Then it was time to "warm" their cars up for 20 minutes before driving home for the night! How many of you have their heat on at 60 degrees at night during the winter like my family? I can safely bet that Gore doesn't! The a hole!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:04 pmThinkProgress SMEARS Drudge.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:04 pmRead the Reuters story. Gore and his group of people used cars to arrive a the offical headquarters. EXPANDED CARBON FOOTPRINT. He only walked to the film screening. Are you all just mad because your hero was caught being hypocritical. Put him back in his Lock Box.
You morons should be aware that Drudge has now linked to this idiotic page of yours. THAT is how silly you look. Keep it up, retards. You manage to make Gore look even worse.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:05 pmIt was Reuters that reported this not Drudge. Drudge may be an idiot but he's not the one that screwed this up.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:06 pmLiberals still mad about 2000 election? get over it..........
May 25th, 2006 at 1:06 pmEveryone that posts here is an idiot. They make as many false claims about Drudge, Fox, or "the right" as they claim they make about "the left".
The only difference between a Republican and a Democrat is which liars they are willing to believe.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:07 pmYou critics are slamming Drudge because he reported a story that was originally reported from Reuters India. Gore may have 'walked' to the screening, but he WAS seen driving to the Cannes on a different occasion. Yup, just another case of "Do what I say, not what I do" of the whacky liberal left.
Hey, how did Gore get to the Cannes anyway? Walk from America? Me thinks not!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:07 pmThis is so amusing…when someone says, does, or proves something the left disagrees with it’s a “smear campaignâ€, yet when they do it it’s “speaking the truth to powerâ€. NEWS FLASH… Global Warming is caused by…THE SUN!! yes it's the sun and not mankind. It’s okay though; you can disbelieve this "inconvienient truth", and instead rely on statistically insignificant data and faulty assumptions. The truth (and the Earth) will still be there when you grow up and become adults. Cheers
May 25th, 2006 at 1:07 pmJust so you know I personally saw Gore last year in California driving a Cadillac Escalade. He doesn't give a sh** about the environment.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:07 pmI just think you boys at thinkprogress need to stop crying so much.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:08 pmWhat's new Gore is a liar and hypocrite. He lost the election for a reason!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:09 pmHow DARE Drudge link to a Reuters story that said Gore drove. Filthy linker!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:09 pmGet over it. Gore's movie is not about real science. The planet has had 7 major climate changes before mankind. This is not man made. Most reputable scientist disagree with Al. The man suffers from a mental disorder.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:10 pmWOW you libs are really full of hatred I'll stick to conser sites and the truth
May 25th, 2006 at 1:10 pmThe right isn't scared of Gore, how anyone can say Gore won in 2000 is INSANE.
Rudy will win in 2008, Gores a MORON!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:10 pmOnce again only the cry babies( DEMS) are complaining. Al Gores movie is a lie from strt to finsh.Is the world going to end in the next two year! I have not seen one positive idea from them. IN SIX YEARS!! You don't need spies anymore you just have to listen to the DEMS and that is all you need. They are aganist National Defense. Then the papers tell everything about what we do, how come they don't have the guts and talk to the terroist and see what they do to people. It is a shame. As soon as the DEMS get power, we will have another attack but bigger. Vote Dems and your families die!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:11 pmIt has been sourced. I would name the source, but you guys don't care anyway. You will call it a lie and make excuses.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:11 pmit must be horrible to be a liberal, always living in fear and envious of what others have.
concerning global warning... I leave my car running out in the driveway for at least 20 minutes every morning to contribute. if it means a milder winter where I live I am all for it and will work to make it a reality
May 25th, 2006 at 1:11 pmGore's home state voted against him.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:12 pmAnybody who doesn't think the left isn't full of extremist kooks need only come here to have their pipe dreams shattered.... get a life folks!!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:13 pmAl Gore is a complete fraud. How anyone of any political persuasion can still follow him is beyond me. He lost the 2000 election through the proper Constitutional process, couldnt accept the result and dragged the country through a disgraceful court battle lasting months which embarrassed us around the world. Gore (together with Clinton) even made Nixon look like a completely honorable gentleman.
As for his "carbon neutral" status, this is a joke. I am sure Gore would justify his many travels as serving a larger good - the fight against "global warming". But, the reality is he is using you gullible sheep (liberals) to enrich himself and live a lifestyle Kings did not enjoy just 100 years ago. And finally, as for the walk vs. ride debate. You can tell by looking at Gore that he hasnt been walking many places. What a fat beast he has become. How many pigs, chickens and cows have died for his waistline. How much carbon has been spewed into the atmosphere to truck in his many meals? Go on a diet, Al, and try living like your poor, uneducated constituents.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:13 pmDrudge did not link to the Reuters story on May 22, when this post was written. His story was unsourced and did not have a link.
Today, he linked to a Reuters story that says Gore drove to a different event, not the screeening. His first, unsourced story was not accurate.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:13 pmWow, all you uninformed left wing scum are preaching to your own choir. Wasting time as usual I see ...
By the way, election 2000 + election 2004 = PWNED!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:13 pmCreative bunch here - "Liars" and "Lying liars" - DOPES!
Riddle me this - does Al's walk "all over the world" to promote his global warming alarmist view or does he burn LOTS and LOTS of jet fuel. Hypocryte!
Oh yeah and didn't Gore invent the internet? Since we're talking about lying liars here.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:14 pmYou liberals already have a media oultlet that makes up stories. It's called CBS 60 Minutes. By the way I expect Gore to be claiming he invented walking on Lettermen later next week.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:16 pmIF YOU'D CHECK THE SOURCE OF THE GORE STORY (REUTERS) YOU'D FOCUS YOUR ANGER AT THEM! I DIDN'T SEE ONE RESPONDENT BRING THIS UP. CLEARLY A LOT OF HATE FOR DRUDGE!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:16 pmWow! I don't know why I am always surprised to see how much the left wants to believe in good and evil (read democrat and republican). It's out of control! I guess I just don't understand...is the decline of the left's ideology, or the rise of information, scaring people to the point of absolute hatred and intolerance? Is an opposing opinion really that bad? Bad enough to hate?
Go ahead and hate Drudge. It's expected of you. The rest of us will develop opinions after knowing the facts. Try as you may, but your blind hatred will not force ignorance on the rest of us.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:17 pmAl Gore and his crew leave a bigger carbon footprint everywhere they go then 100,000 people. How can causing more pollution lead to less pollution, makes no sense. You all are just bitter because Al Gore wasn't smart enough to become president.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:17 pmGore is and always will be an eletist phony. i hope he wins the nomination.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:18 pmDrudge links to a Reuter's story that reports Gore rode a 500 meter distance and then later walked a shorter distance to the screening.
Evidently the nitwits at "Thinkprogress" cannot tell the difference between an original story and a link to someone else's work, which just so happens to be 99% of what Drudge's news site is all about. And just so happens to be precisely how he "reported" your asinine claim, by linking to the "Thinkprogress" story.
What a bunch of witless chumps. A paradigm of the sort of thinking so called "progressives" do. It is truely a wonder.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:18 pmwho cares how much fuel al gore uses, the point that is being missed here is that the whole global warming is caused by co2 emmisions from man theory is nothing but junk science and doesnt stand up to the scientific method, for example , there is no way to even remotely measure co2 in the atmosphere or how much is being released naturally or how much is naturally soaked back up by plants which turn co2 into oxygen thru photosynthesis, the margin for error in theses studies is far greater than the temperature variations that would be conducive to some kind of extreme climate change, oh and by the way , isnt al gore one of the guys who was telling us an ice age is coming about 30 years ago?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:18 pmA good Ad Hominem attack (see every comment on this article) is the basis of many a logical fallacy.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:19 pmTHIS GOES OUT TO ANYONE WHO CAME HERE BECAUSE OF DRUDGE NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE A FREQUENT VISITOR TO THIS LAME WEBSITE.
THESE HIPPIES CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT THAT GORE LOST, THAT GORE LIES, THAT GORE IS A HYPOCRITE... HOW DID GORE GO OVERSEAS TO PROMOTE THIS LAME MOVIE? HE FLEW. HE FLEW A LOT... HES AGAINST USING GAS, YET HE USED MORE IN A FEW WEEKS THAN MOST AMERICANS USE IN A YEAR! LAME, VERY LAME.
AS FAR AS THE BOTTOM 20ISH OR SO COMMENTS SUPPORTING DRUDGE, I'M WITH YOU. THE MAN IS LEGIT. THE MAN NEVER LIES, AND HAS A STRONGER FOLLOWING THAN THE ENTIRE DEMOCRAT PARTY!
ALL THESE KOOKS WILL DO IS KEEP THE "BUSH LIED" CRUD GOING... NOTHING YOU/WE SAY WILL CHANGE IT. ALL WE CAN DO IS LAUGH AT HOW STUPID SOME PEOPLE ARE.
...GO SMOKE A DOOBY YOU LEFTIST HIPPIES, RUDYS TAKING OVER IN 2008!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:20 pmHey pinheads, why not look at the link before assuming a lie or a conspiracy? The story was reported by Reuters (http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml), quote: "Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars." Last I checked Reuters isn't known as an agent of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
I'm no great supporter of Drudge and I'm not carrying his water, but if you folks can't even get the basic facts straight how on earth do you expect to ever win an election? Reasonable people can disagree about global warming as well as other political issues, but all the fever swamp conspiracy theory nonsense from the Angry Left is only marginalizing your impact on the debate.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:20 pmAnd I guess this web page was designed by using totally carbon neutral electricity? And the person who owns the web page must walk to work.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:20 pmUnfortunately Gore's carbon neutral means - regular people - dont use up all the gas because Gore needs it.
At this stage in life it is not possible to use Gas to get to and from work (for a majority of the world).
A lie repeated does not eventually become the truth. What presidential election did Al Gore win? "I didn't like the results so I will make up my own." Is that how the left operates?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:20 pmTo anyone willing to sit through this Al Gore movie, you need to read Michael Crichton's State of Fear. Again, you can not espouse theory as though it were unquestionable fact. The vacuum of fear for the masses needs to be filled with something and Global Warming is the topic du jour.
Neo cons, Nazis, and everything you liberals throw at and does not stick, is justification for not allowing your side of the aisle back into power. Get over the 2000 election, shut your pieholes about how Bush lied, he did not. If he did so did Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton, etc.
Wake up and smell the hate that has been exhibited from Islamic Radicals that wish to destroy our freedoms, the same freedoms that allow each of us to post our comments. This is what we face, this is the enemy. Liberal, Cons, NeoCons, Moderates, we are all in the same boat. They want to destroy US. I personally will not let some towel headed terrorist hurt my fellow American, regardless of your political views. I would defend to the death, and I own the guns to back it up! This is my country, our country, and we need to keep it in tact. They are the enemy, not all of us that are disagreeing together.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:21 pmWhatever you do, don't let facts get in the way. The problem with liberals is, well, they're liberal. Al show and no go, Al is a great role model for the lefrt...he talks a good game but doesn't believe his own rhetoric.
Oh BTW. Get over the 2000 Presidential election. You had another shot at Bush in 2004 and still couldn't defeat him. As unpopular as he seems at this very moment, the Democrats don't have anyone that could beat him today. Nuff said.

May 25th, 2006 at 1:22 pmAbout the best thing I can say about Al Gore is "at least he's not Bill Cliton" and thanx for inventing the internet....AL. or maybe he just voted for it before he voted against it. I kinda like these funny papers....keep up the "like" good work kids..."Like....OK"
May 25th, 2006 at 1:22 pmHere is the URL to the Drudge story. As you can see it really isnt an inaccurate Drudge Story at all but a REUTERS story. STRIKE 2 for THINKPROGRESS.ORG!
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
May 25th, 2006 at 1:22 pmWow just Wow the hatred of the left amazes me. They never let the facts stand in their way.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:24 pmHAHA I saw some guy proclaim that Al Gore should SUE Matt Drudge for malicious intent. That's funny. Maybe George Bush should sue the Democratic party then and all of it's members for the same thing. Hell he could sue 48% of the freakin country. Ah liberals gotta love their "It's free speech only if I say it's free speech" aproach.
LOL what is also funny is how long it's taking me to post this. Drudge's site is so much more popular that his fans have clogged up your servers. HA! I guess it's not a good idea to mess with Matt Drudge.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:24 pmLies and the lying liars. This is Lib Central to be sure. Who could posibly back a nut case like Gore? Bush won, get over it. Even if Gore walked to the screening it was nothing more than staged publicity. As bloated as he looked in recent years it was probably the only time he walked.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:25 pmThe story does show he walked from the hotel, but rode at other points which is standard at Cannes. Standard at Cannes, but shouldn't be standard for Gore. He is speeding up global warming g-d forbid. So what if it turns out that he drove part of the time. So what if the story was Reuters and not Drudges. Drudge must be a liar for everything else. Right?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:25 pmI'm super Serial. Watch out for ManBearPig you bloated piece of shit. Al has the personality of a platypus penis. Douche Bag
May 25th, 2006 at 1:26 pmYou braniacs didn't even bother to check the source of the story before commenting? Typical libs, ignore facts/deny facts/personally attack messenger, almost always in that order! What a intolerant, underinformed yet gullible bunch of hypocrites.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:27 pmgore is fast becoming a parody of himself, his hysterical eco-wacko pronouncements are merely scare mongering and NOT rooted in real science. global warming is hardly proved yet one way or the other. I recall just a generation ago when the eco wackos were predicting another ice age etc and environmental doom for us all ... it NEVER happened as we saw. liberals need to ditch Gore and distance themselves from him or they risk becoming an even bigger laughing stock by serious minded clear thinking folks who actually base decisions on facts and not mindless leftist rhetoric and visceral anti- conservative emotion. the worst part of Gore's massive carbon footprint is all the bitter hot air he's still producing after LOSING legimately to Bush in 2000.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:28 pmSpeaking of hypocracy, keep this in mind of the leaders of the Family Values posse: Rush Limbaugh, four marriages. Bill O'Reilly, cheated on his wife with an intern. George Bush, former cocaine users. Dick Cheney, homosexual daughter. And so on...
May 25th, 2006 at 1:28 pmWow it is interesting the liberal mindset. I thought liberals are for free speech and free love ("free" being the most applicable word)?! What's with the anger? I have an idea - you all should set up a protest! That would show them all!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:29 pmDrudge needs to be shot for suckering me to waste this last 30 min. perusing this Idiotic Site.
Never to return,
May 25th, 2006 at 1:29 pmSuckered no more
OK...lemme get this straight...Al Gore , who in 8 years as vp could accomplish nothing, is NOW going to tell people how to go green... what a moron... he should have done somthing about it when he was in office...not come out and play armchair quarterback...
oh and someone with a clue tell me how WE are the cause of global warming...and its not just a natural cycle of evolution... well ya cant since we only have accurate weather records for the last 50 years...
oh ... and what about the effects of the sun on our planet which are unmeasurable even today...our magnetic field is at its lowest point that we have ever seen and that blocks most of the solar wind from reaching us...
but I guess that info wouldnt further the agenda of the "greenies" ...
Funny thing is I drive a Hybrid...and dont even agree with the current admins....but I definetly am not blind to the fact that the left is insane as well.
Its all smoke and mirrors to detract from the bigger issues we face as a human race...and for all of us to keep fighting right vs left as they both rip us off blind and take away our freedoms...
May 25th, 2006 at 1:30 pmLibs owned HARD again?
Seems so.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:30 pmthis cracks me up-how sad! Sorry, y'all, but Al Gore is a weenie. And a loser weenie at that.
I like this quote: "Further, Paramount has committed to making the entire tour promoting the film carbon neutral."
Carbon neutral???? WHAT?
Y'all need to get yourselves a life.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:31 pmWow it is interesting the liberal mindset. I thought liberals are for free speech and free love ("free" being the most applicable word)?! What's with the anger? I have an idea - you all should set up a protest! That would show them all!
I do hope Gore runs in 2008 again - but, if he does, which Gore will we see?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:31 pmWatch Drudge's trolls come out by the dozen. Much fun to watch.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:32 pmHey, #269, since when has the left cared about accurate sources? Remember the immortal words of a great liberal media icon "It does not matter if the story is accurate, it is the content that counts. No one has proven that the story is not true" or something like that. And what about ABC not retracting their completely FALSE story about Speaker Hastert? Start whining about true journalistic innacuracies, and stop making up reasons to spew your anti-conservative venom.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:34 pm"The representative said that arriving at events like photocalls and news conferences in cars was normal practice in Cannes. And Gore walked the shorter distance from another hotel to the festival for the movie's screening." - From Reuters
May 25th, 2006 at 1:34 pmglobal warming and the scientific method examined here http://xtronics.com/reference/globalwarming.htm
May 25th, 2006 at 1:34 pmYou people are all nuts! Gore never won the election...get over it!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:34 pmWe conservatives are not afraid of Gore except where his delutional thoughts of global warming are concerned.
Hey...Maannn.....like pass the grass maaann. Too much thinking hear maaann. Duuuuddd where's the Kool Aid??? Mannn. The intellectual depth of the liberals is astounding. Some of these people vote?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:34 pmHAHAHAHAHAHA... THINKPROGRESS.ORG doesn't even research its stories!!! this was a Reuters post, drudge just linked to it. thinkpress reiterates their own stupidity.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:35 pmThe strategy of misdirect is always the way a good misleading person would function. The theory of "Global Warming" Is not widley held by weather experts, they see it as affected by the "SUN" A large ball 93 million miles away that has been heating this panet and frying planet Mercury for thousands of years.... that DUH... IS THE THING THAT HEATS THIS PLANET. DUH,,, GORE LOST THE ELECTION ACCORDING TO THE SUPRMEME COURT.. A more liberal than now..court. Get facts then spew.. Loudmouths.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:35 pmGore is as much a nut case as Dean so I really don't pay attention to what he says. It is rather amusing though to see him promoting his global warming fantasy to the world. I guess it's better than having him in charge of anything.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:36 pmReuters is reporting this:
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
Seems it's accurate. I wonder if you'll now retract. Doubt it.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:36 pmWait a bunch of utter fools! Your mama's should be ashamed of you all. Matt Drudge is after the money, just as everyone else in the limelight is, but you idiots take the cake for following Al Gore's LUNATIC antics just as foolishly as do the Drudgeites. Get a life and get REAL!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:37 pmWow you libs are loony. I don't want to tip you guys off, but how do you guys expect anybody to believe you if you keep spouting these crazy consperacy theories? I sometimes wonder if I could vote for a Democrat because I think the Republican party has lost its way. But after reading some of the crazy stuff posted on here, there is not a chance. How do you people expect to be taken seriously?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:37 pmAnd everybody else, don't nitpick Gore for flying over there to promote a movie. The guy has to travel. You can't promote a movie by sitting stationary, you have to get out there. Certainly you guys can come up with something better. And get your heads out of the sand, global warming is here and will get worse if we don't do something. Kyoto is definitly not the answer, but we need to do something soon.
You got to be kidding me again, but then this is typical LIB blib or I should say a blog.
Reminds me of the idiotes in Dylan Thomas's "Under the Milkewood Tree" who were waiting for the endo of the world on the street corner at a precise time, then when the time came and went they bitched about it not happening and then planned for the next end of the world meeting the following week.
1. ILL EAGLE's build a wall, send them home and make them wait in line.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:38 pm2. Islamo Nazi's - Kill em all
3. Global Warming - Ok Al, tell me what the Earth's Temperture was in 1192 AD,
Whos to say we are not on a 1000 year cycle right now? Oh and why didnt we see
an increase at the start of the industrial revolution?
4. Watch out bloggers AL want to tax you on a per word basis.
5. Coming elections Vote only for those that have common sense. Bet we wont vote for many from either party these days.
That lying Drudge bastard! Just because the story moved over the Reuters wire service doesn't make it true. More Republican and Fox News propaganda.
Reminds of Kerry trying to dodge that fact that he owned a couple of SUVs during the last campaign. Be a man, man up, we all like to ride in cars and SUVs when we can, Al Gore included. For crying out loud, It's not the end of the world. Wait a minute...
Can't wait to see the remake of an Al Gore slideshow on global warming.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:38 pmwhy arent libs mad at gore for all the money he made with google, i thought being rich flies in the face of communism errrrr....liberalism!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:39 pmWhat a bunch of utter fools! Your mama's should be ashamed of you all. Matt Drudge is after the money, just as everyone else in the limelight is, but you idiots take the cake for following Al Gore's LUNATIC antics just as foolishly as do the Drudgeites. Get a life and get REAL!

LAU
May 25th, 2006 at 1:40 pmthe earth may or may not be warming or cooling, some glaciers are receding, some are advancing, some areas of antarctica has ice thickening, some melting, but this contantly changing climate has been constantly changing since the beginning of time. Half dome in Yosemite here in california was formed by a glacier slicing off half of the mountain, so obviously there has been some warming since that time, but the warming had NOTHING to do with man's activities just as climate today has nothing to do with man's activities. There is nothing man can do to affect weather or climate, so instead of moaning about climate, look at the good things that could result from a warming world, new opportunities for longer growing seasons in colder areas, a new shipping route,and less energy needed for staying warm. Stand aside liberals, and let the adults address the challenges we face.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:40 pmYAAAA MAAANNNN Gore won in 2002 MAAAAAN, Bush is an idiot Mannnnn..BLAH BLAH BLAH. FO and DIE
May 25th, 2006 at 1:40 pmTrust me, the right is not afraid of Gore. We hope he runs in 2008. Hopefully he'll have Howard Dean as his VP candidate. That would be awesome.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:41 pmLet us see who is correct, I would say right but I don't want to lean one way or the other. I think Al Gore should run in 2008 against whoever the Republicans run. Of course if he can't run as the Democrat nominee, Gore can sell his Oxydental Petroleum stock and run as an independent or Green Party candidate. Let the voters decide if Al Gore should be President. At least now we know what kind of person he is. Walking his way across the US from town to town showing his movie in enviromental theaters that don't create any pollution, because to power the projector he brings out a treadmill and invites someone to literally run the projector.
Al Gore for 2008 Democrat Candidate
May 25th, 2006 at 1:42 pmYeah! Drudge is bad! Real bad! Stupid guy with a job, he should pay more taxes to support the environement! I personally think that all educated people shouldnt pay taxes, but all of those people who are exploiting the poor, and working against the environment, LIKE DRUDGE, should pay all the taxes. They have the money anyway, why shouldnt they? That way we educated people could travel the world preaching awareness on such issues, just like Vice President (SHOULD BE PRESIDENT) Gore is! Damn the wealthy! Damn Drudge! Damn logic, common sense, and those people who actually work!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:42 pmYou liberal schucks grow more pathetic and stupid by the day.
First. Drudge didn't make the claims, it's a link to a Reuters wire story ...
Second, contrary to the claim o this blog the link on Drudge's site and the orgnal Reuters wire story are still there.
If you think everyone is a stupid enough to buy your BS, guess again.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:43 pmlol at you pathetic losers making excuses for Al Bore.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:43 pmit's about time somebody called drudge on his right leaning "news" smears..thanks!!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:44 pmAl Gore - master of junk science and B.S. And because the masses are asses,
May 25th, 2006 at 1:45 pmall the lefrist asses believe this idiot. He should gave been working on pre 9-11
anti-terrorist issues instead of whatever he did for 8 years. Then maybe the towers would still be standing. He's definitely in the top-10 most useless people in govt. or wherever he is considered now since technically he's not in govt. anymore. he deserves a Ringo Starr award.
Herr Drudge hangs out at Gay bars in coconut grove part of miami....I would love to meet him after his night of crusing so that he might tell the latest news to a baseball bat swung at 100 mph to his head in order to stimulate some correct thinking.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:46 pmAND YOU CONSERVATIVES DON’T THINK . . . .
Look at the screen grab at the top of the Page.
At the time ThinkProgress posted this page, Drudge WAS unsourced.
He put the Reuters link on his site today. That screen grab above is from the 22nd!
So use some common sense. Whoops - forgot - Conservatives think common sense has a liberal bias.
Thank God for Stephen Colbert
Comment by RememberMaxCleland — May 25, 2006 @ 12:12 pm
Is the irony lost on anyone else that mr. remembercleland thinks he wins the argument by showing that the article was unsourced? IT'S STILL TRUE! Unlike all the slurs against Bush and co. made my liberals over the years. You know there's other sources of news besides the Daily show and Colbert report, don't you? You know comedy central is not a news channel, right? As for the fascist suppression of dissent I saw mentioned, that's what was going on in Iraq. If you were against removing a tyrannical dictator who systematically used rape, torture, and murder to maintain his hold on powerj (and outlaw abortion!), doesn't that make you a facist supporter?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:46 pmI concur, Gore and Dead--08. The right could run a resurected Adolf Hitler and still win.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:46 pmThere is no global warming or cooling, all of nature ebbs and flows! I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, just a very angry U.S. Citizen. What the hell happened to the rest of you? I can say that I have no problem seeing the ENTIRE U.S. Government and its Corporate Liberal Media brought to very very "Swift Justice" for enabling the 911 attacks, lying to start a war of conquest in Iraq, losing a war of conquest in Iraq, and not upholding the oaths they swore to god to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution from enemies both foreign AND domestice! Wake up!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:47 pmOk Drudge is a conservative, but he gives equal time to his reporting. Not any political know it all goes unnamed. Go to his website and there is Cheney and Hastert with as many negative headlines as Gore, Pelosi, and Jefferson. The difference is Think Progress won't show both sides. Maybe, "think non-progress" is more like it. Sorry but think progress has a double std.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:47 pmYou people should lay off the crack pipe! The world is going to be destroyed by fire you nuts!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:47 pmGo read your bible..you might learn something..besides tree hugging.
Al Gore is an ID10T.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:48 pmI'm sure that he took a car and group took several other cars. ManBearPig is still on the loose and was seen attending Cannes Festival. Beware of ManBearPig! By the way, he's still an asshole.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:49 pmOh, Lord, Thou destroyest our critical thinking;
May 25th, 2006 at 1:50 pmOh, Lord, Thou sustainest our fear;
Oh, Lord, Thou sustainest our compassion for Is-ra-el;
Oh, Lord, Thou sustainest the bread coming unto us;
Oh, Lord, Thou sustainest the circuses playing for us;
Oh, Lord, Thou hidest from our eyes the Visigoths in our midst; Oh, Lord, Thou sustainest our obedience to Caesar. Oh, Lord, for these boons we praise Thy name. Amen and Amen.
I have never visited this site before. You must have a huge coolaid budget.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:51 pmEARTH TO MARS.....
May 25th, 2006 at 1:52 pmUmm did i miss something here but isn't reuters reporting the same story?
Also Gore did drive the 500 meters and said that it was standard practice according to the paramount publicist. Frankly I think it brings up a good point that just because it's common practice to show up in a car to photo shoots and such at the festival Gore could have made a statement by walking. This was a mistake no matter how you look at it.
As an environmentalist I'm disappointed in Gore for not making that statement and following common practices. The same kind of common practices and traditions he admitts we need to break!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:52 pmDrudge is the forerunner of the new kind of news that intends on making news instead of reporting it. If there's no good news, contrive it. No one seems to know the difference in these cynical postmodern times.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:52 pmDo you idiots even click the link on Drudge before you start complaining? Drudge isn't writing the stories... that AP AND REUTERS ARE!!!
99% of Democrats give the rest a bad name.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:53 pmDo you idiots even click the links on Drudge before you start complaining? Drudge isn't writing the stories... the AP AND REUTERS ARE!!!
99% of Democrats give the rest a bad name.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:54 pmGore is anything BUIT carbon neutral. He didn't get to Cannes by sail boat. Additionally, with all the carbon dioxide the an exudes while talking, he single handedly creates holes in the ozone layer.
Additionally, where is this man;'s crdeibility ? The man who "invented" the internet. The same man who repeatedly states "facts" without regard to the truth, or reality.
The right has nothing to fear from Al Gore. The American public has been gored enough
May 25th, 2006 at 1:54 pmIt's a Reuters story, not Drudge. Drudge reports little on his own, he just posts links, so how is that really lying on Drudge's part?
Just curious.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:54 pmDoes Al Gore's private jet burn vegetable oil?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:54 pmDo you young leftys ever tell the truth about anything? Drudge posts a link to a Reuters story about Gore, and you whine that he's "bashing" him? Oh my, how dare you run a story about our heros that doesn't support thier B.S.!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:55 pmYour all such hypocrites.
"All the evidence suggests that Mr. Gore is an elitist who passionately believes that the people of the world must drastically reduce their energy use but that it doesn't apply to him,? said Myron Ebell, CEI's director of energy and global warming policy and the creator of the video. http://streams.cei.org/
Most time Drudge just links to news sites like Rueters. Who, by the way, has the story that Gore and his people took multiple cars to the festival that was about 500 meters away. It then adds that Gore did walk to the screening of his film from a closer hotel.
Drudge displays both conservative and liberal abuse articles along with other interesting information. They are not a news organization that must be very careful in proofing a story before it's release. They usually rely on the news sites to do that work. Why don't you call the NYT and CBS liars for running with exclusive stories that they didn't do the proper research on and later found that the "war veterans" or "Katrina victims" lied about being in the army or from New Orleans or had created fake documents?
I look at these posts and can't believe all the conspiracy plots that you guys think happened. Bush has made many mistakes as President, but he didn't blow up the TT and the voting machines didn't count extra votes for Bush. Think about it, if the idealists that run the 3 major news organizations haven't reported on the Diebold machines by now, then there is nothing to the story. Bushes main mistakes are not securing the border and creating a bigger government.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:55 pmAnd Matt Drudge posted a link to this site from his.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:56 pmRight or wrong, he is a stand-up guy.
Listen everyone, we had to take several cars because ManBearPig is still out there. And if rumors are to be believed, which I feel are completely accurate, ManBearPig is attending Cannes. I plan to eliminate ManBearPig with carbon monoxide. Believe me I'm Super Duper Cereal!!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:57 pmGore Losers
May 25th, 2006 at 1:57 pmWhat is the likelihood that the UN could fairly regulate carbon credits world wide in light of oil-for-food program?
The original article was posted on Reuters...Drudge only linked to it. Get over it all, get on with your lives...no one likes a cry-baby...everyone in the world knows the dems and liberals have the market cornered on whinning.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:57 pmPretty funny how common sense and the truth can silence the left. I guess they didn't count on anyone calling them on their uninformed tirades.
Al Gore and the kooks that put together his Global warming movie need to get a clue...Maybe try watching the History or Discovery channel and learn that you can't come to a conclusion about whats going on with the weather from a few core samples..
So say we cut emissions to make Gore happy, then we have a few volcanic eruptions, large gas releases from the oceans, maybe some forest fires and whatever else that contributes to the so called "Global warming effect", then what do you do? Cut emissions more?
The left and traitors on the right have a plan...Let 10's of millions of more people in the country so they can start using more energy. "had to get my dig in on the illegal immigration bill and the morons pushing it on us"
But seriously the earth will be here long after we are gone, and global warming will be the least of our worries.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:57 pmIt looks like Drudge was right after all....

May 25th, 2006 at 1:58 pmKILL ALL HUMANS TO SAVE THE EARTH.
Start with Republicans, gun-owners, Xians, bible-owners, SUV-owners and libertarians.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:58 pmGore uses junk science to try and scare the public. What scares me is he may really believe this crap then he is a certifiable lunatic. Are the ice caps melting? YES, they have been since the last ice-age. Is it due to man’s “carbon emissions?†Hell no. The contribution by man in tiny compared to what the oceans belch up every year.
If anyone cares about the real science here it is based on 20 years of satellite data. If the planet were really experiencing “global warming†due to green-house gases then the upper atmosphere would be warming at the same rate as the lower atmosphere, but it’s not. In fact the upper atmosphere is actually cooling. What a bunch of stupid sheep you are.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:00 pmYOU NAZIS WINGNUTS DON'T USE CRITICAL THINKING LIKE WE REASONABLE LEFTISTS WHO REPEAT TRUTHS TO POWER OF GORE, KERRY & THE DNC!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:01 pmYou libs are so pathetic. I guess Reuters is part of your "right-wing conspiracy"
CANNES, France (Reuters) - The Cannes film festival reached its halfway point on Monday, although bleary-eyed journalists and PR teams seemed to wish it was closer to the end.
Following are some snippets from on and around the Croisette, Cannes' palm-lined waterfront.
AL GORE "CARBON NEUTRAL"
A representative affiliated with "An Inconvenient Truth", a film about global warming involving former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, has stressed that the movie and Gore's tour to promote it are "carbon neutral".
Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars. The representative said that arriving at events like photocalls and news conferences in cars was normal practice in Cannes. And Gore walked the shorter distance from another hotel to the festival for the movie's screening.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:01 pmI bet you guys weren't posting comments like this when Drudge broke the story about Rush Limbaugh's drug problem, huh? Back then, I bet Drudge was a trustworthy source of news!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:02 pmAl Gore is an ID10T!!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:02 pmhttp://hotair.com/archives/the-blog/2006/05/25/useful-idiots-stump-for-thugs-foreign-propaganda-edition/
May 25th, 2006 at 2:02 pmyou liberals are all going to hell!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:03 pmOh please.... I swear this is nothing but typical hardline liberal whinning.... would you guys like some cheese... you obviously have enough wine..... even Jesus would be proud of you guys.... I think you guys made more wine than he did from water....
oh wait... you guys have no faith.... no beliefs.... no wonder your miserable....
May 25th, 2006 at 2:04 pmYou guys just cant take it when the truth about your hero is revealed. Gore is just another elitist who thinks you should do the right thing but he is exempt. His carbon footprint this year alone is more than I will ever create in my lifetime! We would all be better off if he would just fade away.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:04 pmYou bunch of Gore humping pansies. Drudge didn't write the article, the AP did. So go bash someone else and leave Matt Drudge alone. It's called freedom of speech in case you forgot.
Thank you Dan (item 330) I couldn’t have said it better myself.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:05 pmManbearpig is still out there people I am ceral.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:05 pmAmen Will - Wake up Libs!!!
From Reuters.com -
You die hard libs need to grow up, get over 2000 elections, and throw away the kool-aide. Algore is all about the money and power. Oh, I'm sorry - it's all a vast right wing conspiracy.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:06 pmWhiney little liberals, Gore just wants to be in the spotlight. Like Micheal Moore, he lies to the public and passes it off as a documentary. Braindead liberals lap it up without question....
May 25th, 2006 at 2:06 pmTell me, how much energy does Al baby use traveling the world and the country in private jets?
The only person easier for the republicans to beat in 08 than Kerry and Shrillery is Gore.
Please get him nominated!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:07 pmSo, Drudge didn't have the source first, but does now and it turns out that for the most part, he was right, so are all the people that posted what a liar he is going to come back and say they are sorry?
Drudge may be a conservative, and wrong about 10% of the time, but he goes after everyone and I like that, he's faster to the punch than 90% of the other outlets out there, so if he's wrong 10% of time, big deal.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:08 pmManBearPig!!!! LOL
Poor Al he still can't believe he lost and this is a sad attempt to be in the weak spotlight. Al.. Just to let you know. It is not a spotlight, it is Bill Clinton with a flashlight.
Good luck old pal.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:08 pmBush created the Ice Ages and he killed all the dinosaurs.
I bet he killed the dinosaurs to create all the oil so he and his buddies could get rich. Alright, so maybe a huge meteorite caused the damage to block out the sun and kill the dinosaurs, but you get my point. We do have an impact on the earth's tempature, but we weren't even around for most of the ice ages so please explain why they occurred? Lets be responsible for our impact on the earth, but let's not be chicken little.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:10 pmNonsense, read the wire story you dopes.
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
May 25th, 2006 at 2:10 pmthanks to the almighty drudge -- the 1/2 dozen or so regular poster's to this site have logged off
May 25th, 2006 at 2:12 pmEver notice how the rest of the ex presidents and VP's stay out of the spotlight where Bill & Al do everything in their power to stay in it?
May 25th, 2006 at 2:12 pmSilly Libs...This is some of the best entertainment available...listening to you people snap and cry with your conspiracy theories is wonderful.
Drudge links to other sites that have the stories...in this case it was Reuters. On a regular basis he goes after both the left and the right with his stories. What I would do is monitor his site on a regular basis and you might discover that.
It sure is great that Bush's 4th cousin twice removed actually owns Diebold and that he was able to produce the machines to generated the faulty votes to win that little election in 2000. Jeb actually snuck into different voting locations and replaced real Gore votes with Bush votes! AND he was paid to do it by Halliburton...and big oil of course...
I'm sure most of you didn't know that, but you heard it here first. It's the truth...you just read it on the internet...how could it not be the truth!?!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:12 pmwell put John Carlisle. Everyone is freaked out about a slight warming, when the real disaster will be in the next period of global cooling which will come sooner or later. Warming and cooling takes place over 10,000 or so years, and we are panicing over the last 60 years? Al Gore has found his soapbox and will continue to yell to whoever will listen as long as it keeps him in the public's eye.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:13 pmI suppose you guys will tell us Gore walked to Cannes across the Atlantic.Last I heard private planes are NOT the most efficient use of energy.....
May 25th, 2006 at 2:13 pmSo if Drudge were a liberal gay that would be OK?!?!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:13 pmAre you dems even listening to yourselves? "I can't believe he gets away with smearing Gore with impunity! The sky is falling!" And how much smearing of our President Bush do you nut jobs do on a daily basis? HYPOCRITS!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:16 pmmaybe he is
May 25th, 2006 at 2:16 pmThe problem that America has with liberals is the hypocrisy:
Liberals say:
- I know what is best for you, but dont expect it to apply to me. (Gore and pollution, Rosie and guns)
- You must be tolerant, but dont expect me to be. (Any liberal that declares any disagreement to them as hate speech or anyone who disagrees a nazi or facist)
- You must be pro-choice. (Abortion must be a choice, but not school choice or tax spending choice, etc.)
We know that for every statement there is two truths (the liberal vs right), unfortuate, but it appears to be the case in todays world.
The solution is to give total freedom of choice and true accountability. (William Jefferson - I dont care what the video shows, I did not do it - there is another side to the story)
May 25th, 2006 at 2:17 pmI have to congratulate Think Progress for sticking by its story even after being so clearly, demonstratedly wrong. "He’s been running this story, unsourced, all day:"
Meanwhile at drudge: drudge
"Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars. The representative said that arriving at events like photocalls and news conferences in cars was normal practice in Cannes. And Gore walked the shorter distance from another hotel to the festival for the movie's screening."
Way to stand by your story Think Progress! Those bush loving right wingers will learn that a story isn't sourced if it didn't come from dailykos!!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:17 pmAl's just lonely. Pretend to listen, it will make him happy.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:17 pmThe intensity of the hatred of the left, including liberals, progressives, communists, etc., would seemingly have caused mental breakdowns in most. Oh, I forgot, most are already mentally deranged. This common sense explanation by John Carlisle will make them even more so. Nothing infuriates them like common sense opinions, or facts, that contradict their strait-laced dogma. They are nihilists and wish deep down for the total subjugation and even destruction of the U.S. Mao's 70 million murdered were a mere inconvenience, as were Stalin's 20-30 million. Yet, Abu Ghraib sends them into a spittle-ejecting tirade. I must admit though, it would be infinitely easier to be a liberal and never have to produce anything positive. The thought is what counts, not results.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:18 pmNever really checked out a blog site before but, found this topic to be incredibly interesting after finding the link on Drudge. Al Gore, the guy with the strip mine on his property. Al Gore, the guy that exploited water resources to make a 'nature friendly' campagne comercial buy openning a dam to make his canoe float. Algore, the guy that flys constantly to promote his misbegotten agenda as well as his own personal wealth. Na...he'd never avoid an opertunity to be 'carbon nutral'.
Al Gore is a fraud and you are all idiots. :)
May 25th, 2006 at 2:19 pmProgress usually involves truth. Drudge has it, the authors of this site don't.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:19 pmYOU PEOPLE ARE ALL A BUNCH OF CONSPIRACY THEORISTS! YOU ARE ALL NUTS! WHO CARES IF GORE WALKED OR RAN OR FLEW THE 500 METERS! HE IS DONE, OVER, FINISHED, HE LOST GET OVER IT ALREADY!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:20 pmDrudge posted this story on their site. Even ABC gets Bad info.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:20 pmLook forward to beating your next candidate libs. It's a good thing you enjoy whining, because you'll have 6 more years to do it.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:21 pmWho is pulling what out of his ass. Gore is nothing but a hack. Everything he says is a sensationalized lie. Try The Real Truth Gordoh.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:22 pmPlease, PLEASE put Al Gore up for president again. Not only is he about as far left as any wacko, he also clearly represents the majority of mouth-breathing liberals today. The Republicans would love to see him run again. And lose. Again.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:24 pmGore couldn't have flown accross the Atlantic, too much fuel...he must have taken a ship. Wait...ships probably use even more fuel. I got it, he rode in a wooden sailboat. No...that wouldn't work, wood requires cutting down harlmess trees and liberals are definately against that.
Maybe he rowed a plastic boat with plastic oars. Nah, that couldn't work either, you need petroleum to produce plastic.
Hmmm....let me think...
Oh...duh...I've got it...he rode his bike accross America, up through Canada & Alaska, swam from Wales Alaska to Naukan, Russia and biked accross Russia & Europe. What was I thinking...it's so obvious!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:25 pmlol..u so-called conservatives crack me up!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:26 pmThe global temperature is not static. It has never been static. There were many Ice ages before us. There will be many while we are here and there will be more after man is gone from this earth. Basically the earth is still warming from the last ice age. Please quit telling everyone the sky is falling. By the way the last Ice age occurred without fossil fuels. Al Gore AKA "chicken little" should crawl back in his hole.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:26 pmAngry, angry Drudge lovers.
Why so angry?
Angry because your close, personal friend "Matt Drudge" backed GWB for prez over Gore in 2000, and helped bring about THE WORST PRESIDENCY EVER?
Too proud and stubborn to admit you made a collossal mistake?
Choose to express your no-doubt crippling regret and self-loathing as hatred of "liberals," whatever they are?
How very sad.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:26 pmParamount has committed to making the entire tour promoting the film carbon neutral.
Just what the heck does this mean? How do they propose to do this? This is probably more rediculous than any anything else I have heard from the left about this topic.
You want carbon nuetral? Go Nuclear.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:27 pmWho is this Al Gore guy?
May 25th, 2006 at 2:28 pmHey DUMMASSES! Most of Drudge's stories are simply LINKS to other sources! You morons have completely ignored the fact that the Drudge story on Gore "Ridin' to the theatre" ... was a link to an AP REPORT!
He BRIEFELY pulled the link to check the source, and REPOSTED it when the source was CONFIRMED!
Yet you dummasses continue to "blame the wrong guy" for a story that puts your environMENTAList wacko leader in a bad light!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:30 pmI just have to laugh!
Neither the Republicans nor Democrats do a great job representing the country. At least you have to give Republicans a bit more credit since their people are not stupid and fall for everything their talking heads claim.
Take a look at this weak attempt to smear Drudge by this wacko leftists website. I guess if you people had a brain cell you will see it's from a Reuters article not from Drudge!
So once again the slime-balls on the left simply attack without using their brains. Maybe wake up and find your party has been taken over by extremists, Commies and special interest groups that hate America.
You people are disgusting. Next election I will simply vote Republican so I won't have to cater to the hate-mongers on the left!!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:30 pmThanks for the good laugh. Liberals and their pipe dreams. You will never learn
May 25th, 2006 at 2:30 pmThe furor over global warming is really scaring me...even now I am stockpiling large chunks of blubber some of it on my abdomen and some on my thighs...I am also saving ice in undergroud caberns to sell at a porfit, I hope I become a millionaire from global warming..I might write a book about gloval warming and sell hand made gloval warming parka's...i'm a geniue
May 25th, 2006 at 2:31 pmlets see...the iranian badge bs headline and dean sabotages nagin headline were both bs stories drudge ran for hours or even days after the were proved false. drudge does it all the time and usually never even retracts....unless he gets a call from lawyers, like with the nagin bs story...
lol...drudge...your not fooling anyone with a brain.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:32 pmI think Drudge is HoT!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:34 pmIt's funny how threatened "progressives" (don't get me started on the hypocrisy of that label/title alone!) and liberals seem to be by Drudge. Who cares? Nobody complaimed about the Abramoff stories... Or the CIA leak stories. But let's excommunicate Drudge for daring to say Gore walked! Come on.
Why don't people start complaining about the lack of press coverage of human rights violations in the Third World? Or the nationalization of private industries in Bolivia or Venezuela? Instead, they'd rather participate in self flagellation and tearing down their fellow American.
Ah well, I guess that's "progress." Well, when we as a country no longer have a moral fiber, and we are all degenerate scum bags in the name of individual liberties as upheld by the ACLU, then we'll all cheer with thunderous, albeit warped applause at the "progress" we've made as a nation and as a people.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:34 pmwow only here can you find low lifes standing up for gore with his bullshit global warming attention cry.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:34 pmGore is a has been trying to hold on to what he has "left". Drudge is a great clearing house for all news stories. Dont get all Waaaa and act all indignant when some one publishes a story about Gore that turns out to be false because you all would all believe one that is fasle about the President. You know the guy who won the 2000 election fairly.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:34 pmThis website reads like it is nothing more than DNC talking points or an echo chamber of alike thinking.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:35 pmAll you silly Libs have to do is support your accusations with a fact or two, but you can't so you throw rocks and cry when they don't break somebodys window. Sure brings a lot of humor into my life though.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:35 pmDrudge reports 500 yards from hotel to screening, you guys claim that is a smear since it was actually 500 meters from hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters! Oh, where's the investigation. Oh my, Drudge is so evil. Them bad, us good. I'd like to teach the world to sing... Idiots!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:35 pmHow stupid can you people be? First - he does write the articles, in this case REUTERS did (I know such a trash, tabloid style new source /sarcasm much?!)
Link to the Reuters Story the was the supposed 'smearing' the Drudge casued
Get a life, get an education - get a clue.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:35 pmReading these forum posts reminds me why idiot liberals can never be allowed to have power again. You people are crazy stupid. Al Gore is a bloated waste of time as are the lifeless, worthless ideas coming from the left. Where will it end..,,, When people like algore die off and this pathetic democratic party fades away only then will the world know true happiness.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:36 pmGood post, Bal, you have the instincts of a cockroach, but your ice stockpile in deep underground caverns seems like a novel apporach to gloval warming and great money maker! Can I get in on it, the profiti side Imean, I don't want to be stuck in a dark cave with tons of ice, waiting for the warming time to come and make me rich..all in all, this site both scares and frigthen's me too. I think we should all buy large refrigerated houses and stay in doors to keep cool......some people would be allowed to work outside and care for the rest of us..we'll call those hard wroking outside people...slaves, and the inside people we'll call Democrats...i'm having fun
May 25th, 2006 at 2:37 pmOh you Glittering Jewels of colossal ignorance! The story was published by Reuters, not Drudge! Blaming the messgenger, are we?? What about the story about Hastert?? Oh I forget, it depends on what side of the isle you are on.....
May 25th, 2006 at 2:39 pmI think the point that the neocons are missing is the fact that Mr Gore is a member in good standing of the "we".
People of the "we" face extraordinary demands because unlike people of the "us" they got D's in high school science but A's in environmentalism, which is far more important than science is. Of course Mr Gore's carbon footprint is tens of thousands of times greater than ours is. What would you expect; environmentalists need to use a lot of carbon in order to convince the people of the "us" that they should use only a tiny little bit of carbon.
I work for an evil corporation that is expected to make evil profits so that they can be converted into wonderful taxes to support the wonderful lifestyles that the wonderful environmtalists of the "we" are so famous for. Because my evil corporation is required to make evil profits that can be turned into wonderful taxes by people of the "we", my corporation really cant afford to travel the globe anymore like wonderful enviromentlaists of the "we" can. Instead we do our evil (make profits) by using the internet and teleconferences to do our evil (proftibale) business around the world.
A group of thousands of the "we" just met (COP-8) in the Seychelles (thats a tropical archipelago in the Indian Ocean in case you were educated in a government school) to have their annual gala at a world class resort to bemoan the over use of carbon by people such as the people of the "us". Carbon/Shmarbon and pass the caviar say the people of the "we".
The people of the "us" should never question the wisdom of the people of the "we". Repeat after me: This Kool Aid is good; Heaven awaits us all in the tail of a comet; global warming is a real and very dangerous bogeyman, he'll getcha if you dont watch out .
May 25th, 2006 at 2:40 pmWhy doesn't Al just teleconference these little meetings? Isn't that the most environmentally friendly way of doing this? Wouldn't that be closer to actually changing behavior conducive to being 'green' than flying all over the place?
When I go to seminars in my fields, the biggest keynote speakers don't fly in, they just teleconference.
What's wrong with that?
May 25th, 2006 at 2:41 pmCUKOO!CUKOO!CUKOO!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:41 pmHonestly, step back and take a second to be thankful for the liberals... Did you read some of the posts on this site? They make me laugh, while I shake my head... I want to thank the libs for making me laugh.... even though it does get kinda scary when you realize that they are being serious !!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:41 pmI guess the left looks at things they way they always do, with blinders on. The report you are referring to cam from Reuters....not Drudge. He posted the story. Does michael moore get a free pass because he is a left wing maniac? I don't know, if Gore were elected, we all would be wearing turbins.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:42 pmI live in Michigan...I can't wait for global warming to speed up!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:43 pmGore's own hot air is causing global warming.
You far left freaks are so gullable.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:43 pmlol...conservatives who try and pretend we are spreading democracy in the middle east. idiots...
May 25th, 2006 at 2:44 pmSo all the little Liberals are upset because Drudge had to retract "A" story. Where are Gores retractions for all the lies over the years. The Waco left has its champion again.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:45 pmRE: Sam
Dont get carried away with the right truth, you know liberals have their own truth spin to yours.
Geoff - good post - nothing to say to all of the hate speech
Damn nazis
May 25th, 2006 at 2:46 pmYour morons. Drudge didn't write anything about Gore. Therfore he could not "smear" Gore. He posted a link to an article by Reuters that said Gore drove. Thats the problem with you idiot libs is you kill the messenger and blame them for just saying something. Of course free speech doesn't include anyone who disagrees with you.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:46 pmWhat a collection of smug, hate filled, whiners you all are. A bunch of babies!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:46 pmWhen you read the DRUDGE REPORT, do you ever click on the links to find out the source. All DRUDGE did was link to REUTERS ... news service... ever heard of it???
May 25th, 2006 at 2:46 pmJust came from Drudge report. He didn't pull the story. How is the lier?
May 25th, 2006 at 2:47 pmAl is a JOKE and so is this BLOG
the article on Drudge came from an article by Reuters News, all he did was post it on his site. so no he did not make this up, blame the reporter who put it out. By the way, if you read the orginally peace it says that Gore walked and that the other people drove.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:47 pm… wow. i consider myself to be a moderate conservative and i don't like the way that Bush has been leading the country these past few years, but you guys are idiots. you want to know why you haven't been winning elections? because you simply refuse to see the corruption present in your precious Democratic party. 85% of ALL politicians are liars, hypocrites, corrupt and in it for nothing other than money and power. this includes Republicans, Democrats, Independants, EVERYONE. but if you think for a minute that people like you, who pull the wool over thier own eyes when it comes you "your" side of the debate are being taken seriously by anyone but yourselves you are sorely mistaken. i did link to this page from Drudge, read it, and not one person on this board posted an objective, unbiased opinion on the matter. have fun wallowing in you precious hardcore-liberal, "Democrats can do no wrong" slop guys. i'm going to go think for myself somewhere.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:47 pmCarbon Neutral???
Oh, AlBore gave up salad...
May 25th, 2006 at 2:49 pmAll of you apoplectic liberals writing here are too ignorant to realize how ignorant you are. The Drudge Report is merely publishing links to other news sources, such as your coveted Communist News Network, and the Nut York Times. When Mr. Drudge is reporting first hand, he quotes his sources or publishes a qualifier that his source is anonymous. These sets of stories he has carried on Former VP Gore are from YOUR leftist pals. You're so infinitely uninformed, you don't realize how utterly foolish you appear.
This begs the question if you have ever actually looked at the data on the global warming controversy. If you had, you would be amazed at how utterly stupid it is to carry on about the topic as though we know ANYTHING about whether the planet is indeed warming, cooling or static!
It also impedes REAL scientific review of REAL problems we face on the planet today, because people like you are devoid of any bearings on reality. Instead of helping the situation, you compound any real problems we have.
Mr. Gore is simply the Buffoon in Chief of a load of lazy sheep.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:49 pmIt looks like you are the ones lying, not Drudge.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:50 pmGore is a whining whacko. Can't he get a job?
May 25th, 2006 at 2:52 pmAnd since the world is about to end, can I have all your stuff?
#435 pretends to be conservitive so he can sneak a post in here amounst us. bless his heart... pretty funny
May 25th, 2006 at 2:52 pmWho cares about Al Gore... It appears he does not walk much, look how fat he is... He drove... Matt Drudge Rules... Liberals Drool...

Go on, sue me too!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:55 pmThe use of the term "algore" is a Rush Limbaugh phrase, correct? What does it mean? Why do the conservatives use it with such glee? Is it funny, and if so, why? I am really curious, and I hope one of you with a sense of humor could enlighten me.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:55 pmTo all those pointing out that it was Reuters that printed the story and that Drudge was only posting a link. Remember you are talking to Liberals. They don't take kindly to facts unless it supports their position (this doesn't happen often though). Their philosophy seems to be "why tell the truth when you have a perfectly good lie". The also seem fond of halftruths. "The earth is warming and it's man's fault". Ummm yeah, the earth is warming and then it cools then it warms again. This has been going on for eons. It's a cycle.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:57 pmThis pretty much sums it all up: Al Gore: An Inconvenient Story
May 25th, 2006 at 2:57 pmit is time to sop all this foolish concern about the environment and spend more time worrying about me, yes, me! I'm an important part of the universe, at the higher end of the food chain and not enough people worry or care about me...please stop worrying aobut yourself and others and think more about me...thanks and keep thinking of me, often and more frequently if you can afford it, if you cannot think about me just a few minutes aday...thanks again, i'm thinking aobut you (but not much, or often)
May 25th, 2006 at 2:58 pmstop being a lib. now you are enlightened
May 25th, 2006 at 2:58 pmI echo that Righty! They are condeming Drudge for making things that aren't factual when they are the ones posting out of ignorance here because they can't pay enough attention to detail to realize Drudge isn't writing this stuff! He's just linking to it!
May 25th, 2006 at 2:59 pmAll I can say is a BIG ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny how on the 22nd libs couldn't get here and post fast enough but since the TRUTH has come out these self professed sole owners of the truth are no where to be found. I had to go back almost 200 posts to find a lib still parrotting the party line. But I got to hand it to you moonbats, you came out with a vengence. Much like you do ANY time ANYBODY comes out with ANYTHING remotely resembling a slam on the right. And frankly I am astounded that you peeps aren't over 2000 yet. I told my wife as that farce was transpiring and nobody would say it....but you got caught trying to steal and just like a toddler with his hand firmly ensconced in the cookie jar and with no other recourse, you come out swinging with all the righteous indignation you can muster. Al, aka the King of Moonbatiztan, LOST....move on.
I have to tell you and you can take it for what it's worth......look back and TRUTHFULLY assess the latest screeching, frothing, rabid attacks on who ever and tell me who came out on top.....the screecher or the screechee.....I think if you do you will see that until you put aside the petty, snide, acrimonius screeching attacks on anything that doesn't match up chapter and verse with your current playbook you will continue to be on the outside looking in. I have been married an awfully long time and I can promise that spousal screeching has done neither of us any good in any discussion.
And frankly from the folks who were damn near too stoned to protest and just wanted to hang out and get laid and have fun and love one another.....you newbies are awfully bitter. Peace signs, flower power and free love won it for you during Vietnam.....all this hatred is getting you nowhere. As one of your UBER mouthpieces, James Carville, said while trying to explain how the results he saw coming in showed Bush whooping your a** one more time......"We are going to have to seriously rethink our strategy". More prophetic words may have never been spoken.
Sorry I won't be back to read some of your, I'm sure to be, snappy retorts.....that lying rat bas*ard Drudge was linked here and was my only reason for this foray.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:00 pmThat is true, they are funny! But hey, Where did they all go? I miss them already. Thank you Libs for making us laugh.......now just don't act so serious when you do that, OK.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:00 pmConsider this formal notification, I will begin procedures to sue every democrat in the United States, because I get tired of seeing them walk around with shit on their faces from having their heads up their asses all the time.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:03 pmWhat a way to drive traffic to your site. Thanks to Drudge.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:04 pmHmm though when the liberals say something bad about a Republican it must be true and you will protest your life away to try to prove it's true; however, when something negative is said about a Democrat it is absolutly false and all the Republicans smear the Democrats. Give me a break, I hope Gore's movie fails just like his run for President. Yey for Bush, yey for freedom in Iraq. Boo to all you whinny liberals who have nothing better to do with their time then complain about everything. And college kids who protest the war, immigration and all need to get a clue try studying and getting somewhere in life rather then making the US look bad. And anyone who takes political advice from a celebrity, athlete, or musician is the biggest joke just like this website and moveon.org.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:06 pmHoly crap these people are morons. I can't even begin to describe all the BS on this Think Progess site. Look at their fact-challenged attack on this National Review article. Only 5 comments there at the moment. We should maybe add a few more?
May 25th, 2006 at 3:21 pm
Gorons --
AlGore barely graduated college and has no advanced degree in anything. PhD's in the subject matter in which he now professes to be an expert (ex: has been; spurt: drip under pressure) say 'Global Warming' is a computer model w/insufficiently accurate data input to date to determine anything. Want to decrease CO2? Stop breathing.
Liberalism is a mental disease.
Like France? Vote Democrat!
Tolerance is not acceptance.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:22 pmInteresting site. Got to it through Drudge Report. Now I know why so many people find you lefties such whack jobs. Drudge is simply a clearing house for all articles and sources. Perhaps you all missed the Hastert story at the TOP of the page. So Gore was seen driving to his premere. Big deal. He probably has a busy schedule. Relax
May 25th, 2006 at 3:23 pmdrudge report is a fantasticsite. shut it liberals, drudge always posts when he posted an error. may the drudge be with you

I wonder why the loony left has yet to achieve an equivalent success with a Drudge clone? Oh that's right...Ol' Dubya cut off all their stem cell research funding and I heard most of their disposable income goes to pay for the halcion daze they read about in their high school English lit classes.

May 25th, 2006 at 3:24 pmWill you comment on ABC's false reporting on Dennis Hastert? This isn't the first time the Antique Media has misinformed the public on a REPUBLICAN...
May 25th, 2006 at 3:24 pmAlso, is Gore using any excess fuel as he travels around the WORLD promoting his ridiculous movie? I'm sure he doesn't travel in huge limos or SUVs or private jets with a large entourage. I'm also sure he lives in a small, fuel efficient house. Bottom line is he wants middle America to sacrifice, while he lives in luxury!!! It's all about power and money and fame for this guy...he could care less about the environment or he would walk the talk!
I love the hypocrisy of liberals. “Do as I say, not as I do†is their battle cry. Gore wants everyone to change their lives at his direction, while he flies first class around the world, attends fancy parties to talk about how special he is, and drives in entourage 500 yards in a fleet of SUVs. Kennedy wants to save the earth from fossil fuels, unless of course that means screwing up the view from his mega-estate in Cape Cod. Kennedy also wants to raise our taxes to “help the poorâ€, and then sets up elaborate tax shelters, at least one of which is located in Fiji, to shield his family’s ill-gotten booty. His son wants everyone to be treated equally, unless of course it’s him driving drunk at 2 am. Liberals in the halls of academia fight relentlessly for free speech, unless of course its speech they don’t agree with in which case they use violence to silence it. Michael Moore condemns “big corporations†then invests the money he receives from liberal dullards in Halliburton, Merck, Pfizer, Sunoco, Tenet Health Care, Ford, General Electric and McDonald's. Nancy Pelosi champions the cause of unions, then runs her $25 million Northern California vineyard as a non-union shop. Ralph Nader champions the rights of workers, then fires his own editor when he tries to form a union. George Soros also wants our taxes to be higher, because he keeps his money in tax-free overseas accounts in Curacao, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
It just goes on and on …. Seems to me that liberals simply break down into cold hearted hypocrites leading otherwise kind-hearted, but dim-witted dupes (yes, I mean you).
May 25th, 2006 at 3:25 pmThe DNC needs to eliminate the fraud preventing - detecting vote machines in Florida. For that matter, the rest of the country.
Election 2004 , Democrats lost millions of fraudulent votes if compared to 2000 when Bush had only a thousand more votes than Als fraud and legit votes were counted.
Al Gore will need to get Florida and Ohio back to punch cards that DNC ops can then stuff into the vote boxes again, like 2000. Just add a few thoudans more. One more handful of cards and Al would have won!
Its a small price to pay to get Al or any Democrat back into the white house. Do it!
May 25th, 2006 at 3:25 pmHow funny. The liberals CLAIM that Drudge has been "running this story, unsourced, all day' when, in FACT, he lists a source. The only difference is that, unlike the back-stabbing, lying, asinine liberals, Drudge (actually the Reuters story) didn't list the source by name. Liberals consistently lie about everything in an attempt to make their petty lives worth something. What a bunch of losers. Hopefully, they will someday remove their heads from Bill/Hillary/Gore/Kennedy's butts, quit breathing all that methane gas being released, get a breath of fresh air and realize that they are 100% wrong on everything everytime always.

May 25th, 2006 at 3:26 pmI've really been noticing that the wingnuts come out in force, on any site that allows comments, as soon as a topic is posted that refers to President Gore.
Man, they are TERRIFIED of him! Of course, they'll do everything possible to ensure that Hillary is the nominee - they're her real base of support...
May 25th, 2006 at 3:27 pmThe headline IS still there, and it's just a link to a Reuters story that says Gore was seen driving to one event, and walking to another.
I would agree that he does have a much larger "carbon footprint" than any normal person - which is the point of mentioning the whole ting in the first place. He's a rich, white elite, just like any country club Republican you all disdain so much. He just makes his millions off your fear and insecurity, instead of honest business ventures.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:32 pmGee...where start...
Everyone here accuses Drudge of making the story up...when every one knows Al Gore is the undisputed king of made up stories. He invented the internet (remember that one?), or he held his sister's hand as she died (he wasn't even in the room when she passed). In great shape for a man of 58??? Are you kidding me? He looks fatter now than he ever has...he should be walking EVERYWHERE! And of course, the wacko left can't stop crying about the 2000 election. It's 6 years later people! Build a bridge and get over it. I don't know of anyone who is "afraid" of AL Gore. The "inconvenient truth" (and only truth) about global warming is that it is happening and nobody really knows why. There is no scientific evidence that points to man as the cause. Theories, yes, but no EVIDENCE. But don't let that stop the king of "make it up as I go".
May 25th, 2006 at 3:32 pmAll Gore is not exactly "carbon neutral" when he flies back and forth across the globe in private jets or sits his fat ass in the back of a stretch limo. Good for him burn that fossil fuel baby. And you IDIOTS who call Drudge a liar are insane! Do you actually even look at his site? Drudge was simply putting a link from REUTERS about the Gore story. Go crawl back into your little holes creeps
May 25th, 2006 at 3:32 pmDrudge doesn't just make up stories on his site. They're links to actual reports. If you want to call someone a liar then save it for the Reuters. Their staff apparently has some "radical right-wing agenda" now. The stupidity of these liberal sites never cease to amaze.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:33 pmAl Gore is wrong now and has always been wrong. You remember when he claimed to have invented the internet? How about when he dragged the country through six weeks of hell in the 2000 election because he was a sore loser. I admire the president for completely ignoring the rantings of an alarmist who profits off of people's fears.

May 25th, 2006 at 3:38 pmOK all you liberal knuckleheads out there who think Drudge is right-leaning. I am here to tell you that he leans more left than right. Where he makes his money (and where he occasionally gets into trouble) is in breaking a story first (i.e., "scooping" the "mainstream" media). Sometimes in an effort to be first he jumps the gun.
Come on, get a thicker skin. Drudge has run many stories that are unfavorable to the Administration. Now, when the tables are turned even slightly, you liberals start having conniption fits. Sheesh!
By the way, whoever was calling Cheney "Chubby" should take another look at Algore. He isn't exactly slim. In fact, one might even call him Reubenesque. It looks like he has done far more traveling in his SUV and private jets and far less walking than he should have.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:39 pmAl Gore is a complete fool. He uses energy like there is no tomorrow. How many cars does he have? Does he fly commercial? Does he use air conditioning? Does he travel by bike? Does he grow his own food to save on trasport costs? I don't think so. He is just a gasbag, his only contribution to energy independence. How does this fool suggest the economy operate?
Fortunately, there is no global warming, there is plenty of sources of usable energy that great companies like Exxon are delivering to us at reasonable prices, and there is no reason for anyone with a brain to worry about any of Al Gore's drivel.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:42 pmnow that you left wing nutz have been out posted fro 80 - 450 or so, shut up, get a life an ohyeh MOVE ON
Gore is a fool!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 3:50 pmThis site has probably never seen this kind of traffic... You can thank my friend Matt for that... I am going to bookmark it, so that I can get a good laugh anytime I feel like it.

keep up the posting and maybe the voteing majority can crash this crappy site!

WTG Drudge. Keep the hypocrits on there toes.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:00 pmJust goes to show you how big of idiots some people really are. The Drudge story was nothing more than a link on his website to a Reuters story. Drudge was not "making anything up" he only was providing a headline and link.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:01 pmAll of you need to learn to read and fallow links.
Drudge did not write the article that is on his site. He linked to a Reuters article that was written by a staff writer.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:01 pmSmeared GORE!?!
IT'S ONLY A LINK AND IT IS STILL THERE!
You NEO-LIBS can't get anything right!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 4:02 pmRead the story closer, geniuses. The story on Drudge is a link from Reuters. They are the source, not Drudge.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:03 pmWow, almost every one of the 486 previous respondents is so dumb I am amazed you remember to breathe.
DRUDGE DID NOT WRITE THE STORY. DRUDGE LINKED TO THE STORY. THE STORY WAS WRITTEN BY REUTERS.
Even the title of this article is a lie, but then, thats about what can be expected of a "progressive" or a "liberal"...
I'd almost laugh, if you people weren't so sad. Keep blaming Drudge. You can have any ole reality you want to have in your minds. Its ok. get some rest.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:03 pmsomebody please give me the duct tape... my head is about to explode!
May 25th, 2006 at 4:04 pmI wish I had some of the drugs they are keeping Bush in line with. Bot He`s so friggin high he can barely talk. I guess thats the way the whole republiickan scam is held together. IMPEACH BUSH NOW, Before it`s too late. Oh yea, Steal your face right off your head.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:04 pmWhat a bunch of whiners you all are, Al Gore is unhinged and will never get anywhere near the west wing...
May 25th, 2006 at 4:06 pmHopefully these liberal pussies will be able to sell some advertising and pay taxes now, seeing as Drudge just put their web site on the map. You guys should send a kindly worded thankyou to Matt Drudge, and all of his brilliant work.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:08 pmDrudge is a closet self-loather, like a lot of the wingnuts, who feel the need to smear people because they cannot confront the facts.
Fact: Drudge published (did not LINK to it, published it himself) a story claiming that the DNC was actively working against Nagin's re-election. This was an outright lie, and Drudge was forced to retract the story less than 24 hours after he personally posted it.
Fact: Drudge **published** a story that claimed Gore drove a car 500 feet to the screening at Cannes. Again, completely false, and again he was forced to remove the story.
And that's just in the past 24 hours. There have been numerous instances of Drudge fudging the facts, distorting the facts, ignoring the facts, etc. But the kool-aid drinkers on the right lap it right up like the good little sheep that they are.
That's just the way the right wing works though, its nothing new.
They can't handle the facts about the Iraq debacle, so instead they slime anyone who brings up those "inconvenient truths".
The wingtards can't handle the facts about Global Warming either, so they make scurrilous claims about "the jury still being out" on a scientific theory that is accepted by 99.999% of the scientific community, or they turn to their core fundamentalist American-Taliban buddies who tell them they're all gonna get sucked up by Jesus and his Magical spaceship any day now, so why worry about the environment? Why worry about the defecit? Why worry about the Noo-Q-lur Korea? Why worry about any of those "inconvenient truths" when they believe they're all gonna be whisked away by Jesus. And you thought "70 Virgins" sounded ridiculous??
So let the wingtards live in their bubble. They'll never be convinced of the truth because they don't want to know the truth. They enjoy ignorance and self-loathing. They also are bed-wetters who think everyone from the Mexicans, to the rag-tag al Qaeda scumbags, to the movie stars, to the Union workers are all out to GET THEM. So please, please, they tell the Chimperor, "PLEASE take away my civil rights and mortgage my children's future as long as I can enjoy this false sense of security."

heh, now I'm guessing that Reuters is not a reliable news source? You wingbats are funny!
May 25th, 2006 at 4:13 pmcoments 1-80 or so stupid 80 - 492 the majority voters smart comments it seems the left is a bit outnumbered like in 200 and 2004!
Gore if a FOOL!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 4:13 pmWow, the hatred on this forum is really amazing. You people need to celebrate diverstiy, be tolerant, and respect others opnions. In other words, you need to practice what you preach.
Oh, and John in Chicago needs to get a life. Hysterical, hate filled tirades only convince people that you are a fool incapable of rational thought.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:15 pmYou know, Drudge merely presents a page to see what is being reported. Its not like Randy Rhodes who spews vile every night on her show where I really think she makes stuff up out of whole cloth. In any event, I find it amazing that you liberals are so vehemently anti-Bush. I think that you should all take a step back, enjoy the tax refunds that you got (and I am sure all spent) and thank the republicans.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:16 pmAs obviously stated, Drudge didnt write the piece.
Maybe you people could try bringing up some facts like we do, they call us the right for a reason.
And speaking of the right... Can you people who agree with me kindly not resort to name calling? We are better than that, are we not?
May 25th, 2006 at 4:19 pmHaha, the army of drudge idiots is out in full force I see.
Too bad they cant even get a simple fact like what Drudge actually posted on his site (not the story he has up now, what he originally posted himself about Gore going from the hotel to the screening). They're frothing at the mouth and yet, even though there's a conventient screen grab above proving the blatant hackery of Matt Drudge, they STILL can't get their story straight.
For you wingnuts I'll type nice and s--l--o--w so you might understand.
The link that is currently on drudge that goes to the Reuters story is about how Gore got from his hotel to Cannes headquarters, where he was staying at a hotel there. Had some stuff to bring along I'm sure, hence the need for vehicles, as the article states itself, all attendees arrive in cars to Cannes HQ.
Are you still with me, short-yellow-bus-wingnuts? The story Drudge ORIGINALLY posted (screen shot above) claimed Gore "drove 500 feet from his hotel to the screening" which is completely false. But Drudge never lets facts get in the way of a good sliming. Much like the rest of you mouthbreathers on the right.
You all hate academia. You hate science. You hate the truth. I wonder why?
May 25th, 2006 at 4:20 pmWrong again, 497. The article does points out that Gore did walk to the screening but took a car to other functions. The story is still posted on Drudge so you're wrong there, too.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:20 pm"Oh, and John in Chicago needs to get a life. Hysterical, hate filled tirades only convince people that you are a fool incapable of rational thought."
Thanks for proving my point Ryan, youre a sweetheart. Once again the Right wingtards fail to address those horrible things they are so afraid of. And, my science and education-hating friend, you and your ilk would not know a rational thought if it jumped into your gaping maw and bit you on your kool-aid stained tongue.
Facts.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:24 pmHey John in Chicago,
At least Drudge has the balls to publish his retractions with the same publicity that he erroneously reports. That's more than can be said for the New York Times.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:27 pmre: 499. To link to tcs.com is laughable! How pathetic! Do you know who is behind TCS?
Try reading the *science*. See http://www.realclimate.org for facts, not political spin on global warming. Anyone who believes in what TCS posts is absolutely, unequivovably clueless about science.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:27 pmThe problem with these debates isn't that 'liberals are trying to ruin America' or that 'conservatives don't care about the environment,' but rather that an aversion to actual debate is so prevalent on either side that virtually every argument turns into an ad hominem lib-con hate fest. The fact remains that there are scientists who believe that global warming is a threat, and those who believe it isn't, or doesn't exist at all. To say that there are scientists on your side and that proves that you're right is foolish and shortsided. What it DOES mean though is that a thorough analysis needs to take place (something that both republicans and democrats love to streamline so that they always get results suitable to themselves). So any liberal or convservative who attributes some great flaw of intellect to the other side without acknowledging that followers of your ideals are just as prone to myopia and unsupported arguments, and that there are brilliant people who will disagree with you, take a closer look and think before you speak.
And props to Sam for actually posting articles and sources.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:28 pmWhy don't y'all wait for a story to develop fully before saying that it does not come from a dependable source? The level of intellectual analysis on this forum is practically nill. This is what turns young voters like me off from the Democratic party. Although I like many Democrats and have many friends who are Democrats and/or Democrat politicians, I cannot morally cast my lot in with such a lot of whiny, unintelligent group that supports the national party. I am an independent until a third party is created that doesn't lend to such blatent idiocy like this forum or support such sleezes as Ted Kennedy (can you say Chapaquitic?), Robert Byrd (ex-KKK leader), or Jesse Jackson (can you say illegitimate children?). Please, Democrats - Form a party based on PRINCIPLES AND STICK TO THEM! It is the only way forward.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:28 pm"Last week, Gore and his team were seen driving the 500 metres or so from a hotel to the Cannes festival headquarters in several cars." - Reuters Mon May 22, 2006 11:33 PM IST
Sorry all you left wing nutjobs.
Gore got caught in his usual "Do as I say. . .Not as I do."
Actually, that's a pretty damn good slogan for you Democrats to run on.
At least it would be honest for a change.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:29 pmHey libs, why didn't your heros Clinton & Gore sign the Kyoto Protocol when they had the chance? I didn't here you whining about it then.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:30 pmAre you sure you are not confused.
Rueters seem top say there were two different trips !
Could bw weird Al saw the first story and corrected the situation next time out.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:32 pmBill...Bill....Bill...It's time for your medication....maybe you and that guy from Chicago should read all these post here. Not only do we defend Drudge here, myself and others DEFEND THIS COUNTRY SO YOU PEOPLE CAN BE COMPLETE DUMB ASSES! Have a nice day!
May 25th, 2006 at 4:32 pmAre you sure you are not confused.

May 25th, 2006 at 4:32 pmHere's the link to the article Drudge is sourcing:
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-22T232359Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-250545-1.xml
Your beloved Reuters put it out there, my friends.
I find it interesting that in nearly every one of the posts on this forum, someone is calling a person they disagree with some kind of derogatory name. The hypocrisy is breathtaking- people who hold themselves above others as more compassionate, open minded, inclusive, blah blah blah, sound pretty hateful and angry to me. I guess you have to agree with a liberal in order to receive the benefit of his or her appreciation for diversity :)
May 25th, 2006 at 4:33 pmHa ha, what morons! We're supposed to believe they know what they're talking about concerning the environment when they can't even tell the difference between the source of an article and a link to it?
Every night is a full moon night in moonbat land. It's the only way to explain their neverending insane rants. BARK MOONBAT BARK! Awooooooooo....ah ah awooooooo...
May 25th, 2006 at 4:34 pmYou liberal idiots are pathetic. You wouldn't know the truth if it hit you in your tree-hugging faces. Typical leftist rhetoric...let's destroy our great nation inside out with filth, lies, and hypocritical double-talk.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:34 pmIt'd be wonderful if your readers would think before reacting but it's hard to break bad habits. Get the facts before becoming indignant--are you reading this Chicago John? Mr. Gore and friends did take non-carbon neutral vehicles to a screening but then on a seperate occassion took a short stroll.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:35 pm497 - 99.999% of scientific community? Where did you get this number? I'm seeing far more than .001% of the scientific community disputing the methods and conclusions of the global warming crowd.
505 - get over yourself, the story comes first with drudge, always has been that way, sometimes it's right, sometimes it's left, sometimes is completely off-base and incorrect. Unlike the mainstream, he does correct himself. It's the price you pay to be first. Hmm... ABC story on Hastert anyone?
May 25th, 2006 at 4:35 pmIt'd be wonderful if your readers would think before reacting but it's hard to break bad habits. Get the facts before becoming indignant--are you reading this Chicago John?

Aren't there more inportant things to get upset about??

May 25th, 2006 at 4:36 pmI love seeing all these posts...it helps me sleep better at night. Knowing that all the leftwing, fantasy land freaks are still spending all their time and energy worrying about what the Conservatives are doing, instead of creating their own strategies, is comforting.
The right will always lead this country because liberals can't lead. The left has dwindled itself down to nothing but a bunch of finger-pointers and hate-mongers, pandering their politics to the latest minority with a gripe. Or inventing gripes for the minorities so they can steal their votes.
You guys keep trying to figure out the latest "right-wing conspiracy" while we all keep the country held together. Morons.
God bless America.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:36 pm"Gore’s representatives, who unequivocally confirmed that Al Gore and his associates walked"....
really now, how trustworthy can his representatives be. Get a clue Liberals.

Yup, Drudge is so biased he left a link to this site on his site.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:38 pmOtherwise I wouldn't hage wasted my time coming here to read all this Liberal pablum.
I like to hate. This site is the best.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:39 pmI hate Drudge. I hate Gore. I hate global warming. I hate people who fly all over the world in big airplanes and drive around in in a big bus to tell me how I burn too much fuel.
I love this site. Am I cured?
Gore has gotten huge. I saw him in person a couple weeks ago. He could use some walking and maybe a few less cheeseburgers. We should all pitch in and buy him a sigh-powered treadmill.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:39 pmEven as a right winger, I'll concede that Gore has some points to make. But the question remains: How many hybrids does Team Gore drive? "Carbon neutral"? I doubt it.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:39 pmDoes Drudge pull his stories out of his a**?
Comment by yankeluh — May 22, 2006 @ 2:35 pm
Hey Yankeluh - the story was posted by Reuters, you moon-bat kool-aid drinkin' left-wing kook!
And your hero Slick Willie had three full years to introduce the Kyoto Protocol to the Senate for a vote but chose not to.
Too pre-occupied with interns, I guess...
May 25th, 2006 at 4:41 pmHow can Drudge saythat about the man that invented the internet!
May 25th, 2006 at 4:42 pmPeople, the original story this site is so upset with was Drudge's "claim" that Gore's group took 5 cars “500 yards from hotel to screening†rather than the Reuters report that Gore'g group took 5 cars “500 meters from hotel to Cannes festival headquartersâ€. If you choose to call that a smear or a lie, feel free. But let's be honest (you know what that is right), does the destination matter?
May 25th, 2006 at 4:44 pmIt is called SOLAR warming!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 4:45 pm"Paramount has committed to making the entire tour promoting the film carbon neutral."
May 25th, 2006 at 4:46 pmHow did Al get to France, by kayak????
This is simply amazing. Shame on Drudge, he said Gore drove to the screening when he should have said Gore and his entourage took several cars 500 meters to Cannes, rather than the screening. And for that somewhat subtle difference, hundreds of left wingers blast Drudge. By the way, can any of you who are so much smarter than I, explain how Gore can travel on a private plane with an entourage to Cannes, and yet the trip be "carbon neutral"? I presume that means that if they hadn't travelled to Cannes, they would have been flying elsewhere in the private plane, thus it was neutral.
John in Chicago claims 5 nines of the scientific community agree on Glabal Warming. Now really, 5 nines? I don't think so. You might be surprised to learn that while many people (not 99.999%) believe that there is warming (about 1 degree C in the last 50 years), there is widespread disagreement on the cause. Did you ever wonder how the earth evolved out of the ice age without man?
May 25th, 2006 at 4:49 pm#497...just a few comments and questions on your tirade:
1. If Drudge has posted a comment based on the Old Media reports, he retracts it publicly
2. Who is slimming the troops and our efforts to win the war in Iraq? Liberal hippies (by the way Saddam and the president of Iran would have made a pretty powerful and dangerous team)
3. Show me where you get 99.999% of the scientific community support the global Warming THEORY
4. What does Jesus have to do with Global Warming, the deficit, North Korea, or the 70 Virgins who remain virgins after they're not virgins
5. How do you know all "Wingtards" enjoy ignorance and self loathing and are bed wetters?
6. Which "Wingtards" are afraid of Mexicans, rag tag Al-Qaeda scumbags, movie stars, and union workers?
7. So who is smearing whom because you, John, can't confront the facts?
John," You'll (they'll) never be convinced of the truth because you (they) don't want to know the truth."

May 25th, 2006 at 4:59 pmHey you "Useful Idiots" IT WAS ON THE WIRE (Reuters) DRUDGE PULLED IT FROM THE WIRE HE DID NOT MAKE IT UP. And remember "ThinkProgress contacted Gore’s representatives, who unequivocally confirmed that Al Gore and his associates walked from the Majestic Hotel to the screening at Cannes. Further, Paramount has committed to making the entire tour promoting the film carbon neutral"THIS IS ALGORE WHO INVENTED THE INTERNET SO WHATEVER HE SAYS MUST BE TRUE ?
May 25th, 2006 at 5:00 pmGood thing there that the last ice-age occurred before we humans became technological creatures. Otherwise, the ice would have melted and North America would have become habitable. Oh, wait a second! It did. Hmmmm. Al Gore might want to consider reading a book every now and then. Especially one he didn't write.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:01 pmGore is a fat asshole and uses phony issues to gain attention to himself
May 25th, 2006 at 5:02 pmConcerning drudge posting erroneous facts, try reading the top line of the article where it says it's reported by Reuters.
Concerning globle warming, assuming it is in fact occuring, could it POSSIBLY be because the sun is actually getting warmer?
May 25th, 2006 at 5:02 pmMost of the democratic party has been corrupted by the leftist-communist elements that wish to impose their form of fascism. When I studied political science in the 1970's, we were always taught that the core values of the democratic party were for social justice, racial equality, economic developed that enhanced the population's ability to raise a strong and healthy middle class and, of course, freedom of speech. Today, if anyone takes a stand against the leftist-communist element, they are shouted down and attacked much like the Nazi's did in the 1930's. If the truth is to emerge then all sides must be given the chance to have equal access to freedom.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:02 pmAl Gore is one of the biggest hypocrites of our time. Man is categorically NOT responsible for global warming, and in every instance where Man has attempted to control Mother Nature, he has failed miserably. The climate is cyclic; the Earth has had several ice ages, and each has receded independently of SUVs and the evil "big business." That global warming is caused by Man, and hence controllable by Man, is laughably absurd.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:03 pmAl Gore is a vice president. Walking 500 meters through a crowded Cannes film festival poses a huge security threat and the secret services measures would be costly to the organizers.
Make an issue of his walking 500 yards...?
Republicans can't govern. period.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:04 pmHey thoroughly disgusted (#415)
May 25th, 2006 at 5:04 pmI am sure such an obvious intellectual as yourself ("How stupid can you people be?...get a life, get an education, get a clue") can write in complete sentences. Your post doesn't even make sense (I know such a trash, tabloid style new source /sarcasm much?!)
Ever heard the phrase Ice Age? Glaciers used to cover half of this country... Can one of you clowns tell me why they melted? Were the dinosaurs driving too many SUVs???
May 25th, 2006 at 5:05 pmGore may have walked from the hotel to the theater, but how much fuel did he burn getting from his home to the hotel. Probably several thousand gallons. Perhaps he should have attended via video from home and saved some fuel.
People, please give it up... Gore did not win in 2000. It's disapointing, but please move beyond that and prepare for achieving a Clinton vistory in 2008. Whining about 2000 does not change the outcome. Do something now to effect the 2008 outcome.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:05 pmPoor bitter DIMs. Still upset that DRUDGE outed the STAIN MAKER, Slick Willey. Get over it!!
May 25th, 2006 at 5:06 pmi don't hink i've ever seen so many moronic whiny ignoramus posts in one thread anywhere before. you guys are amazingly lame.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:07 pmYOUR dialogue at the top of this thread is NOT factual either. The Reuters report describes TWO movements from hotels to the festival venue. In one movement of 500m the Gore entourage DID use 5 vehicles. In a later, shorter movement he did walk.
Get YOUR story straight and YOU might have some credibility.
Bill
May 25th, 2006 at 5:07 pmAl Gore is a lazy press hungry idiot. I believe he drove a short distance burning holes in our ozone. Sad to say that he. as well as many politicians dont give two shits about this country nor the enviroment. His movie is a crock of shit and I am glad I downloaded it off line.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:08 pmHow did Gore get to France? Steamboat? He is so hypocritical saying we should limit the use of fossil fuels but he can fly anywhere around the world. I am sure he walked from the airport to the Cannes.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:08 pmAnd liberals are incapable of rational thought.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:09 pmSee http://www.junkscience.com for a wake up call.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:10 pmYou guys crack me up. Especially the guy who faxed (!!!) Clinton... that he ignored your directive is sufficient proof that he's been coopted by the Rosicrucians.
Carry on.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:12 pmAttention Gore-heads: Please understand that Drudge merely linked to a Reuters story. Sorry but Drudge didn't lie, he simply linked. You guys know what that means right? He didn't report, he LINKED? Reporting is what ABC does when they put out a story that the House Speaker is under investigation even when they have absolutely no evidence.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:12 pmLOL! Gore is a joke. His whole global warming movie is a crock of spin. Anybody with 1/2 a brain (which apparently he doesn't have) can look at climatic temp chages over a long period of time and they acn see that the earth goes through cycles.. Remember global cooling 30 years ago? Political propaganda for the feeble minded...
There is a reason why a large % of Dems are 18-30 year olds.. Not in touch with reality and uneducated. Quit believing movies made by Moore or Gore.. It's just spin made to make money off you or to get you to vote their way...
May 25th, 2006 at 5:13 pmMy cocksnot leaves a HUGE carbon footpring!
May 25th, 2006 at 5:13 pmWhy don't people teleconference more often? When you're at these big events, you usually watch the person speaking on the big screens unless you're in the front rows.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:16 pmGet more with Gore. More BS

May 25th, 2006 at 5:19 pmNow I know why all you lefty moonbats are so in favor of illegal immigration. Illiterate, uneducated immigrants are the only ones who will fall for your insipid, communist, anti American agenda. Normal, intelligent Americans will not buy it.
TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT!!!
May 25th, 2006 at 5:20 pmGore and his crowd of cronies are all a bunch of losers. He's a hypocrite just like most all politicians. When will people learn that everyone in politics follows the money!
May 25th, 2006 at 5:21 pm563 comments raking Drudge over the coals and noone seems to notice that this story came from Reuters not from Matt Drudge. Good grief.....a bunch of rabid liberal much for brains democrates.

Colbert: "Reality has a LIBERAL Bias!!"
May 25th, 2006 at 5:23 pmErroll:
Gore did not concede, at least not willingly. In fact, he only conceded when all his legal options ran out. He did this country great damage by what he did. Only third world countires have campaign opponents who act in such a manner. And it made our country look like a third world country. How did it all start? Oh, yeah, the ballots were confusing which then went to the chad business which had been used successfully by the Democrats to overturn congressional races. The law in Florida was that a ballot had to be machine readable. However, even with all the chad business Bush won every single recount. The media themselves went down to Florida and recounted the ballots every which way and Bush still won (which of course never got widespread coverage). Gore had the ballots being counted whichever way would benefit him setting up different standards in different counties. He did not call for every county to be re-counted. Nor did he want the military absentee ballots counted (despite "every vote counts"). Even the press tried to do what they could for Gore by calling the state early for him...many Republicans in heavily conservative counties in the panhandle never voted secondary to that. All Gore did was attempt to divide the country along racial lines, attempt to delegitimize a legitimate race, a make America look foolish in the end. The true test of character and sportsmanship comes when you lose. Gore's character was self-evident. Scott
May 25th, 2006 at 5:24 pmGore couldn't even win his home state of Tennessee when he ran for President. What does that say about the guy?
Thank God Mondale & Dukakis disappeared when they got their asses beat back in the 80s. Kerry & Gore should study history.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:26 pmGood god, reading some of these posts has made me have to rethink the fundamental intelligence and education of the average "right wing" american. Unbelievable.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:27 pmDrudge currently has a link to THIS BLOG and everyone's nasty comments about him personally. Say this about Mr. Drudge: He accepts his criticisms as well as he dishes them out.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:28 pmSeriously though...
May 25th, 2006 at 5:28 pmHas anyone here got the guts to thank Drudge for linking to this page?
It appears to me that he got advanced notice of a report that claims Gore drove a short distance while in Cannes.
He made a mistake about when the driving took place and has since corrected it. He even linked to this site to show the massive damage done to Gore's reputation.
I mean, let's face facts...the average poster here would love Gore and defend him to the death even if the original story were true. I suppose the worry is that he will somehow be less endearing to all of the W supporters.
Now, I leave so that you can get back to name calling, vile spewing and your conspiracies.
I'm sure ThinkProgress.org is in favor or nuclear power... right?
May 25th, 2006 at 5:31 pmIf Al Gore hadn't invented the internet, none of you fools would be reading this! I love the guy who claimes Gore won in 200.
