Challenge a repug to READ Gore's speech
I know that a number of us here are signed on as DU activist corps

We should print a copy of Gore's speech and ask our repug friends and neighbors to READ it. I know that I for one cannot listen to B* without cringing but I faithfully read what B* says - it's tough but in order to be informed I feel I have to at least read what he says

Ask them to do the same. Tell them he stands up for the Constitution and that this debate is not about B* but about what form of government we want to live under. Or rather, what form of government we USED to live under and the one that we are confronted with now

3. BTW--you are right--it is about how we want to live as Americans.

2. You may as well ask them to suck the toes of their dogs
Reading anything that isn't one sentence in list format? You're joking? Reading is the forte of an active brain. For the Right-Wing, reading is submission, and submission is left for their womenfolk.

Now pictures, even stick figures seem to work well.:sarcasm:

4. Lotta big words to sound out
Why bother when Rush can just tell them what Gore said and what they think of it? ;-)

5. I posted a link to it on a political forum where both sides
hang out. I don't think any of them listened to it. I've even offered to do a Cliff's Notes version, but haven't had any takers.

7. But it's Gore!
<dittohead>
Oh, sure, he'll make it SOUND like he's trying to save the constitution, but in reality, he just wants to raise your taxes and teach your daughters to have premarital sex in school (probably with negroes), then force them to have abortions! Don't you know that "constitutional crisis" is lib-speak for mandatory tree-hugging?

No, thank you! I'll just let Rush DECODE his speech for me! Now pass me the Krispy Kremes!!
</dittohead>

The right has built such a wall of denial around these people that there is little to no chance of breaking through. Jesus himself could appear in the sky surrounded by a host of trumpeting angels and carrying a big sign that reads "Impeach Bush" and these people would swift boat his ass, and the chuckleheads at LGF and Powerline and Freeperland would have thousands of posts about how Jesus is a "soft-on-terror" pinko.

So I guess I'm saying, good luck, but don't get your hopes up.

9. My right-wing talk show host says..
"Al Gore demonstrated by this speech he is certifiably crazy, he needs to be on medication and he truly part of the Micahel-Moore-loving-America-Hating -Looney-extremist-anti-freedom-far-left-out-of-touch-with-real-America-left."

I love it when we scare them that bad.
