Gore tipped to take Nobel Peace Prize (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e5dbf2f4-7846-11dc-8e4c-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1)

Al Gore, the former US vice-president, on Thursday overtook Barack Obama in a closely watched futures betting market on the next Democratic nominee fuelled by speculation that he would pick up the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

Although the Nobel committee never informs the winner in advance, online speculators drew energy from the fact that Mr Gore cancelled his attendance at a global warming event in San Francisco on Thursday night, citing an unspecified overseas event on global warming.

Mr Gore also cancelled his attendance as the keynote speaker at a Citicorp conference in Delhi in early December, which coincides with the Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo.

So let's see. So far, the roster of Nobel "Peace" Prize winners is as follows: Anmesty International (1977), Nelson Mandela (1993), Yasser Arafat (1994), Kofi Anan (2001), Jimmy Peanut Brain Carter (2002) ... and now Al Gore.

And I suppose the next ones will be George Clooney, John Murtha, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, not necessarity in that order.

Oh, and to those who will stumble over themselves to produce other more worthy NPP recipients (e.i. Mother Theresa),

PLEASE, DON'T BOTHER (ME)

That's like telling me that Olympia Snowe is such a good republican because every blue moon she votes in favor of conservative issues.

The NPP is still mainly given to worthless lefties just because they're lefties. Period.

[DoctorDoom]

So a has-been politico who founded a junk-science religion, and who was in Sweden campaigning for the award as shamelessly as he did for the Oscar for his science-fiction film, is now a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Big Fugging Hairy Deal!

Alfred Nobel must by now have worn out his casket from spinning in it over how his idea has been bastardized by leftist assholes.

Puleeeze, Doc, Refer to them as haemorrhoids, i.e., defective Assholes! After all, the asshole is a functional part of everyone else!

Correct you are. Its like the United Way, taken over by the hate-America crowd. anything to give us the finger. Giving Algore the prize would be a perfect example of that. Its more reason to show some brute force around the world. Up till now, we have sat back and taken the cheap shots. Look what its gotten us: Algore's. A society full of Algore's. Cheap political pukes who stoop to any level for personal advancement over whats good for this country. Heck look at Algore's father. He taught him. Look at Tipper, keeping her mouth shut about all the things she used to be for. Slobbering all over the hip-hop community when a few years ago trying to run them out of town.

Maybe the prize money can put some soler panels on that 40,000 Sf of roofing he snores under.

[Beowulf]

What a joke this award has become. It's a shame for some past winners who actually did something worthy to win it.

Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 for making peace between Russian and Japan. I'm sure he's rolling in his grave as well.

Need any more be said about its worth.

The asshole is the boss of the human body indeed. Don't piss it off and make it close up! The Assholoid, on the other hand, is a constipated asshole. Like Algore and other leftists.:evilgrin:<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

[Neil Peart]

Alfred Nobel is getting dizzy from rolling over in his grave so much. First Arafat, now Al "Manbearpig" Gore?

[Lazarus]

What a joke this award has become...Its worse than a joke now Wulf... Here's the evidence... The BBC World Service had a running story on this event all morning asking the poingnant question, Is this recipient worthy of this award? And the continuous stream of emails they were receiving and reading on the air were overwhelmingly disgusted and critical of the award and its recipient...

Does anyone here realize what a monumental thing this is? The BBC is only slightly less Leftist than the Guardian - And yet they see public opinion collapsing from this Lunatic's self-promoting BS traveling circus... The BBC, being ever eager to be accepted and popular among the masses, while still trying to manipulate them, is a thermometer of public opinion especially among the moderate to left sheeple in the world...

In short, if the BBC is abandoning Al Gore, the rats are leaving the ship...

And this reaction is driving nails in the coffin of the Nobel Committee - The general public is beginning to see it as the farce that it has become - Just like the Motion Picture Academy Awards...

Leftists destroy every institution they put their hands on... This is the lesson the world needs to learn...

Nah. He'll put it in his Carbon Credit Bank. Remember? The one he created and, ahem, administers? :whistle:

Yep. That's what I always say. Leave it to liberals to corrupt even the most sacred institutions. Heck, there's even a homo bishop roaming around somewhere.

No kidding. If I were a NPP recipient, I would return mine. Even if I had to eat every other day in order to come up with the money. But that's just me.

[Naturalized-Texan]

Almost as ludicrous as AlGore's peace prize is that he shares it with the trash scientists at UN IPCC.

[Maggie_T]

The whole thing is a revolting farce, and no mistake.

Liberals must be having a collective orgasm over this. :rolleyes:

[bannerman]

To Commemorate this Non Event George Soros Issued an Al-Gore Zowie COllectors Edition 100$ Lead Coin...

[Maggie_T]

But is it environmentally-friendly? Can you assure us that no animals were hurt in the making of this coin? Will the glaciers stand the pressure?

Very important, you know.

[The_Elucidator]

The Nobel Peace Prize holds all the luster of being named the Most Valuable Player on a winless team. :rolleyes: It no longer means anything!

After going over game film of how Al Gordo came to win this.. cough.. hack.. MVP award; The outcome of the game still remains the same!

Football 48

Gordo 3

[DoctorDoom]

He won it because leftists run Europe, and because he was over there shamelessly promoting himself like a two-bit whore to the Committee.

This will come back to bite them all.

[TeenageRepublican]

So Al Gore looses against Bush, hosts a documentary, does a couple of concerts, and now he's getting a Nobel Peace Prize? WTF!!!!!!!

This is getting more and more like the Oscars and the Academy Awards. He's winning because he's a liberal.

[Jester21]

Something's been bothering me since I heard about this, and I couldn't figure out what it was.

It isn't his views on global warming, I have no problem with people trying to save the environment, within reason. Then it hit me:

What does climate change have to do with Peace?

Answer: nothing.

[Jack_Savage]

He's one of the apocalyptic visionaries working on fear to keep people in apathy. Same thing as the No Nuke movement 30 years ago, hoping America would disarm. Had Algore, Kerry and the Kennedy network been successful we would be in real deep shit. Hanoi Jane, she was one of em. Its the politics of doom and gloom. the gloomers suck out the optimism which made this country great. It is intentional. Remove the incentives. Raise taxes, and deflate all the freedoms. Make people afraid and dependent.

If we cannot stand up for common sence ground rules, for fear of crossing some vague political correct line today, with a strong booming economy and a healty law enforcement to protect us, where does that send our real courage when times are tough. Draw a line, an arrow, from 20 years ago to today, where are we heading from the advice of the Algores?

Exactly, Jester! The Nobel prize has become a Leftist popularity contest and therefore, a joke.

[RogerFGay]

Nothing undermines a cause these days as much as one of its profits winning the Nobel Peace Prize. It'll be nice for Al. He'll get to go to lots of dinners and give speeches.

[Naturalized-Texan]

According to the Houston Chronicle, Al Gore plans to give his share of his Nobel Prize money to a group combating climate change. What a waste of money! Since climate change is a natural occurrence, no amount of money can stop it or even slow it down.

If he really wants to help humanity, he should use that money to help bring electricity to the poor people of Africa who are forced into nothing more than a bare subsistence existence due to the lack of electricity. If he would help provide electricity to the poor people of Africa, he would be proving that he actually deserved the Nobel Prize for Peace.

Guys, guys. Once again, you must read between the lines. Global warming - a.k.a. climate change - has nothing to do with the welfare of the environment and everything to do with stifling progress in 1st world countries on behalf of of 3rd world ones.

Remember the Kyoto Treaty? It was very stern with 1st world countries - the USA in particular - while it was extremely lenient with developing hellholes. They could pollute to their heart's content because they were "poor."

It's been demostrated how the environmental "cause" is nothing but yet another disguise used by the left to achieve power.

[PaulRevere]

The Nobel committe is just another cabal of world leftist elitists that has no more legitimacy in the world than the UN Human Rights Commission.

They love anything that promotes the one-world neo-Marxist new world order agenda, heir to the World Soviet, and global warming scare mongerers are valuable tools in promoting their vision.

Their One-world/ New World Order/World Soviet neo-Marxism = world slavery, not world peace.

Dead on, as usual.

Achieve power.............in large part by controlling natural resources and industry.

And then you get to the other issue that I've been writing about, and that is, electricity. In sub-Saharan Africa, some 95% of the people don't have electricity. In one week, Al Gore uses more electricity than 25 million Ugandans use in a year. And yet the radical greens battle every mode of electricity generation, except the most nominal, irrelevant generators. Rainforest Action Network and other activists are constantly pressuring banks and construction companies not to build coal- or gas-fired power plants in Africa or other developing countries.

Friends of the Earth and the International Rivers Network battle hydroelectric projects, like the Bujagali dam in Uganda, because it will interfere with kayaking. And Greenpeace and Sierra Club hate nuclear power.

EIR: Isn't their argument, or the argument you hear a lot of the time, that by man changing nature in that way, we are interfering with the so-called natural process on the planet; that it's somehow unnatural for us to be using these man-made innovations to change the Biosphere in which we live?

Driessen: Yes, that is clearly part of what they say. But it goes deeper than that. They also say human beings are a "cancer" on the planet, that we're really not part of the eco-system, that we interfere so much with natural planetary cycles, that we should be restricted in number, scope, and influence.

And yet, I have not seen a lot of them in the environmental movement, whether they're Al Gore or some Hollywood glitterati, or the head of the Natural Resources Defense Council, say they're ready to live in a mud hut in Africa for even a month or two. Some friends of mine in South Africa have offered to put Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz and their "Trippin" crew up for a month in a state-of-the-art mud hut, out in the middle of nowhere, so they can live the cute, indigenous lifestyle that they extol and want to perpetuate. They can go without lights and refrigeration; drink the same filthy water that's loaded with parasites and bacteria; go without bug repellants and DDT, and battle malarial mosquitoes all night long; eat the same meager, insect-infested organic food the locals eat. And when they come down with malaria, they can walk, just like the locals, 20 miles to the nearest clinic, and hope that nurse has something other than chloroquine to treat their malaria.

If they survive, they might come back changed people. I don't see any of them volunteering to do something like that, even for one month. But they're happy to keep these people in that state of permanent poverty.

As my friend June Arunga from Kenya says, "indigenous lifestyles" just mean indigenous poverty, indigenous malnutrition, indigenous disease, and childhood death. And that's really what it comes down to: When you don't have these modern technologies, your lifespan is cut almost in half.Gore's Policies Keep Africa in the Dark (http://www.larouchepub.com/other/interviews/2007/3414paul_driessen.html)

FEW people in Africa would get to see Al Gore and his troupe of rock-star ecologists strutting their stuff last weekend - because most have neither television nor electricity.

That's just as well, because they would be aghast at LiveEarth's bizarre message.

In Africa, we have much more serious things to worry about than climate change.

Indeed, if they achieve their objective, the concerts will have done harm to the people of Africa.

Britain's former Secretary of State for the Environment, David Miliband, recently said that the rest of the world cannot aspire to the UK's standard of living because: "If the world were to have the same living standards as we have in the UK, then we'd need three planets to support us."

Presumably Mr Miliband would disagree with Indira Ghandi, who famously said, "poverty is the greatest polluter."Al Gore's LiveEarth vs Africa (http://www.namibian.com.na/2007/July/columns/07A45A34A7.html)

But cutting population by abortion and contraception and other such methods is not Gore’s only contribution to population control in Africa. He and his fellow envirocrats have an even better way of getting rid of lot of inconvenient Africans – deprive them of the opportunity to have electricity by banning building power plants – a lack of which now kills at least a million Africans every year.

As Paul Driessen explained in the British documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle,” depriving Africans of the opportunity to have electricity will continue to kill at least a million Africans every year, as the lack of electric power on the African continent is doing right now.The Imperial Mr. Gore (http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MichaelReagan/2007/03/22/the_imperial_mr_gore)

Gore, the racist high priest of hell, doesn't want Africans to have electricity. He wants them dead, and he will do whatever it takes to kill them.
