Former Vice President Al Gore Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today along with a United Nations panel that monitors climate change for their work educating the world about global warming and advocating for political action to stop it.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee characterized Gore as "the single individual" responsible for convincing world governments that climate change was real, caused by human activity, and posed a threat to society.

Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced Friday Oct. 12, 2007 that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.

Please note there was a typo error in the article. The Post kept referring to Mr. Gore as 'former vice president' when we all know he should be referred to as 'former president', right?
The reaction from the right wing religious roaches was typical. Over on their 'secret' blog they posted the great news under the heading 'Al Goreleon & UN Now Joins The Ranks of Yasser Arafat' The hidden meaning, of course, is that Gore is no different than Arafat who, in the eyes of the right wing is the twin brother of the devil. Here are some of their comments:
"Now this, is an inconvenient reality, but not based on truth!!!"
"Indeed! Brought to us by the same flaming assholes who protested so
vehemently against nuclear power in the late '70s and '80s. Remember that
worthless Hollyweird movie "The China Syndrome"? Idjits and morons.
Imagine if we had more nuke power generating electricity. France does and
their "green house gas emissions" are the lowest worldwide.
A few years from now we will know that once again we have been deceived by
the dickheads on the left. Of course not before they destroy our country.
Environmentalist's remind me of dog poop. It's there and somebody has to
pick it up but it'll make a grown man retch. No wonder dog poop is referred
to as "land mines". These enviro's are much the same and AlGore is the
biggest steaming pile of them all......don't step in it and if ya do don't
get any on ya."
"guess I should have checked everything in my inbox....I cannot believe this
CRAP!!!"
"GOOD TIMING IN ANNOUNCING THE JOKE of the week... Thanks we need some laughs on a cloudy Friday Morning... GOREDOM and the UN... TWO HUGE JOKES!!!!- "
"This one really floored me...ha, ha, ha,....I'm in one of those moments of
disbelief that will probably become disgust and anger. I'm going to try to
ignore this for a bit."
"Isn't the monetary prize $1mil? Time to purchase more "offsets."
"-NOW he can buy a bigger GULFSTREAM to Pollute all over the world and buy more GOOGLE SHARES... "
"Lie about something and be honored. Shows me how phony the Nobel Prize is."
"To be considered a winner with False scientific facts and be co- honored with a UN panel"
"Fwd:
Gore Wins Nobel Prize, High Court Gives It to Bush
Tahnk goodness for the Right Supreme court... Would this news really make lunatics IMPLODE!!"
"Hilarity!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice twist, though he didn't need to, the idea that
this asshat won the prize fits right in as a post there."
(end of quotes)
It's so sad isn't it? They're so jealous of everything their opponents accomplish so they have to tear everything down while propping themselves up. But to what end? What has Bush accomplished in comparison to Al Gore and any other successful political figure? Bush is a failure and so are his followers. Their envy speaks volumes. And their stupidity, which I've commented about before, screams out. The one comment about global warming being based on 'false scientific facts' says it all. Logically, if something is a fact, how the hell can it be false? LOL Seriously though, how many times do we have to tell these assholes that the MAJORITY of scientists agree with former President Gore?
