"Sore Loserman" sure picked a scab this week, didn't he?

[Bluebear]

I haven't heard such a caterwauling from the right about Al Gore since...well, since it was about Al Gore in 2000.

To me, Gore this week has resurrected himself from being a historical asterisk to being a serious contender for the 2008 race.

Surely few others have been willing to say the truth: that Bush has been consistently and arrogantly BREAKING THE LAW for years. Why else are McClellan and Gonzales so frantically and pathetically trying to counter Gore's reappearance on the American political scene? Why is Rove ordering his talking head minions hither and thither trying to break Gore's spell?

President Gore - do not back down. America needs you desparately, sir.

Oh and P.S. to these cretins:


...... he's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

1. Freepers

can rot in hell:nuke:

[LeftCoast]

2. Hey Bluebear, I've been sorta away from the news today

Where are the righties screaming? I hadn't realized this speech had made that big a splash in the traditional media.

[Bluebear]

"If Al Gore is going to be the voice of the Democrats on national security

we welcome it!"

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=1514401

Smarmy McClellan accuses Al of "hypocrisy".

The RNC even saw fit to make a special press release:

http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=59313

...And yet, news outlets such as the Associated Press, CNN, and CBS News repeated Gonzales's comments without challenge. MSNBC's onscreen "ticker" claimed that Gonzales "shot down Al Gore's criticism" and noted his claim that the former vice president's comments were "inconsistent with policy during the Clinton administration." Further, in a news report on the speech, Fox News chief Washington correspondent Jim Angle cast Gore's position as hypocritical. Additionally, Fox News host Sean Hannity alleged that a "double standard" existed between the Clinton administration's activities and those of the Bush White House.

17. Thanks for the links

:hi:

[Bluebear]

18. Any time my friend! nt

[ladjf]

27. Good. The statute is in black and white, clearly shows that

all of those claiming Gore's hypocrisy can be clearly shown to be either liars or ignorant of the law. At the time of the FBI search in question, as most of you know, is was not required that the court approve the action,along the approval from the attorney general. The law has since been changed.

[Chevy]

6. Oh you know

the regular spiel"When Democrats attack" and other nonsense from our friends in the corporate media.

[Bluebear]

13. "Did Al Gore go too far?"

You are absolutely right in your assessment.

[ladjf]

28. I suggest that everyone quit paying any attention to their crap.

[txindy]

9. They've been on Larry King, CNN, & other M$M

Little Scottie's squealin' like a stuck pig and Alberto is running around pointing fingers back at Gore, screaming, "Clinton did it, too!" http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/01/17.html#a6745 The Cabal is panicking. Big time.

It's really rather hilarious.

[LeftCoast]

19. I have to say I'm pretty blown away that Hillary & Kerry

both supported Gore and reiterated the same themes. We've been our own worst enemies as a national party for way too long.

[ladjf]

30. Kerry, when asked by Wolfie if he agreed with Gores assessment

of Bush's law breaking gave a strong, clear , one word answer, "YES". I've never heard him do that. I was prepared for some tap dancing. But, he just said "YES". That was the total of his answer as far as I heard. I liked that.


If the Dems could get their act together before 2008 by deciding on their leader well ahead of the election, and basically skip the primaries, they could save millions of bucks and not go through the awful blood letting that is usually done in the primaries.

My suggestion for that leader is Gore. He has the intellect, the grasp of history, the courage and integrity to step up and lead us out this night mare. But, we may have others who could do the same. I just can't think of anyone that has his stature.

[ladjf]

29. The Gore speech will not only stand on it's merits. It will rise up

to be a blueprint for the the political strategy of all Americans who want to restore the integrity of the Constitution. Gore explained what the situation was and then made recommendations as to how we could get out of this mess.

[PWRinNY]

3. They think Gore lost

Poor fools. So misled. Too clueless to know that they're the ones who lost. We all lost. I wonder if they'll ever learn that Gore actually won that election, and just how much their chimperor stole from them.

[Olney Blue]

4. To me, these types of signs in 2000 show that Gore DID fight.

They were screaming loudly that he was a sore loser because he
refused to concede to Shrub. It took the SCOTUS to end it.

[txindy]

15. That's absolutely right.

It couldn't go any farther. The SC ended it. I don't know what people here expected Gore to do.

[Olney Blue]

24. I have been dismayed about comment on Gore not fighting.

JeeZ, everytime someone has mentioned Gore in the past year since I joined DU, someone always jumps
right into the thread and says "He gave up and didn't fight in 2000, I'm done with him."

I think this picture of the " Sore/ Loserman" needs to be posted everytime that happens. I remember how vile the repugs were
towards him- and Gore just kept fighting, hiring the best lawyers available.

[fujiyama]

32. I never understood that either

Al Gore believes quite clearly in the RULE OF LAW. The Supreme Court was the final stop. There was nothing else he could do.

But I still believe that his campaign and initial legal challenge were a blunder. It was a mistake challenging only certain counties. Had he gone after the entire state, it would have been better. But the state was so fucked up as it was controlled by Jeb and Cruella so I don't blame him too much.

[AlGore-08.com]

39. What would have been the option? Gore asked Smirk to agree to a statewide

recount twice - - but Smirk refused to agree to one.

I've heard different opinions about whether Florida law (in 2000) allowed a candidate to request a statewide recount. What is clear is that Gore's legal team felt that they had a better chance of getting a statewide recount from the Florida State Supreme Court. To do that, they had to challenge the results of counties with the largest number of discarded votes, and then use the difference between the county's original vote total and the recounted total to prove to the Florida State Supreme Court that a statewide recount was necessary. Legally, that strategy worked - - the FSSC ruled that a statewide recount was needed. (And, of course, if the d*mn SCOTUS had the same respect for the rule of law that Al Gore does, they never would have stopped that recount.)

The political attack from Team Smirk ("recount after recount") just would have been something else if Gore's Team had been able to request a statewide recount on day one. And the media still would have run with Smirk's spin - - they were even worse than they were during the campaign.

5. He's twice the man he was in 2000

Mind you, I've been cheering this guy on to the presidency since he ran the first time -- I remember hearing him at a debate and wondering, who the heck is this guy? I had the honor of meeting him in 1992, when he was running with Clinton and telling him -- HEY! I want to see YOU be president next -- and he was very gracious....

I've been backing this guy since the late 80s, felt he was going to make a great president, but the truth is, since the debacle in 2000, and the consequential decline of America since then, Al Gore has become twice the man that he was. I pledge myself to his presidency whole-heartedly.

[question everything]

25. And this is why sitting V.P.s should not run for office

They need to get out from behind the shadow of the President - no matter how good or how lousy he was - and build their own persona.

Yes, he will be so much better candidate then what he was in 2000.

[ladjf]

31. He has learned from the 2000 experience. He has come out.

In 2000, he was taking some real poor political advice from his campaign people. Next time around, he would run the show and win, even in face of the rigged voting machines. They aren't rigged everywhere. We may just have to write off Florida and Ohio as hopeless cesspools of republican criminality and win in other states.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

7. OMG HOW FUCKING AWESOME WOULD THIS BE ---->

Gore runs in 08 and wins. After he is declared the victor and addresses the crowd he says:

"My Fellow Americans: You had to wait 8 long hard years for the activist injustice of 2000 to be put behind us. But now that we have come full circle, I want to address all those on the other side of the aisle.... I WON...... GET OVER IT!!!!"


Holy shit. I just had the whole scene roll through my head. I loved it.

[Bluebear]

10. Followed by Tipper calling Laura...

to tell her to get her honkytonk shit out of the people's house :)

[ladjf]

33. What would really be beautiful would be for us to begin to be

proud of our Country again and start putting together safeguards so that no coups could ever happen again as it did in 2000 and 2004. It's going to take a lot of great leadership and effort to right our ship again. But, IT CAN BE DONE. Gore's speech uplifted me to this point of optimism.

[w8liftinglady]

8. i've loved the repub response on washington journal

all attack-no facts

[enid602]

11. Gore

More important, he was eloquent, passionate and IMHO, right on.

[ladjf]

35. Yes. And in addition to clearly showing what the situation was,

he offered concrete steps to right the wrongs that have been done against our Constitution.

I feel like we may have found our leader.

[enid602]

12. Gore

More important, he was eloquent, passionate and IMHO, right on.

[Darkhawk32]

14. They are DISRUPTORS! ARREST THEM!!! n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Never forget that Bush - the draft dodger and coward - displaced TWO

Vietnam veterans.

Yeah, OK, so Gore was only a journalist for Stars and Stripes. He was still in country, and in country could get you killed.

Bush, a draft dodging puke and cowardly rich boy, was more comfortable dodging any foreign service during war time, like his freako coward buddy Cheney, who now goes around wearing Army gear and calling his stint as illegitimate-VP a "tour of duty." Makes a brother wanna puke, for real.

[Cha]

20. Those fucking idiots in that picture have it exactly

ass backwards..monkeyboy and dickhead lost but being such sore losers they took over the whitehouse..turned it into a chimphouse and then proceeded to ruin our country.

I'm sure they're really proud of that moment in time.

[Olney Blue]

21. I'd go and scrape out the chimp shit out of there with a toothbrush...

if President Gore could move in!

[ladjf]

36. I would help.

[mark11727]

22. Note to the loud and robust "lady" in the photo, with the sunglasses...

(1) No, your "candidate" was installed by five reactionary judges on the Supreme Court, stopping the legitimate and legally-required recount that would have ultimately proven Al Gore to have more votes, and the Presidency...

(2) The result of which is an executive branch, which combined with a neo-conservative congress and matching judiciary, is making every possible effort to roll back any gains your gender has made over the past century...

(3) So ultimately, lady, you lost.

This is what you wanted. Enjoy the ride. You paid for it.

[Olney Blue]

23. Yeah, "Lady", go to hell.

Not. My. Gender.

[ladjf]

37. Lady, you not only lost your Country, you have apparently

lost your mind.

[ladjf]

26. I agree with your good post.

[Horse with no Name]

34. He certainly did

And it was one of those big ole nasty ones that ooze for days and days.:evilgrin:

[Catrina]

38. It's amazing the status Rightwing fanatics give to Clinton

When he was President, he couldn't do anything 'right'. But now, he's the litmus test they use to determine whether or not Bush is on the right track !! Don't they realize that each time they claim that if Clinton did it too, that means Bush is right, they're elevating Clinton to almost godlike proportions?

Who would have guessed how much they respected him? :rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

40. The very first email I received after the 2000 Selection was from a

"conservative" friend. It was entitled "Sore Loserman" and included a graphic with a baby crying. Though it only mildly irked me, it drove me to make my own satirical art. Yes, that was the spark that ignited the flame.

This "Sore Loserman" pic:



But, instead of being angry I decided to have some fun myself. ;)

Starting with this:



Up to:



:D :rofl:

[Z_I_Peevey]

42. That last one is just tremendous.

It's my desktop at work. Thanks!

[Olney Blue]

43. Swamp Rat, I didn't know that!

Well, at least something good came out of the Sore Loserman idiocy.
