Today’s Special, Al Gore – Ann Coulter
Al Gore, Nobel Peace Prize winner, global warming alarmist, former vice president, and formerly known as the next president of the United States, has reaped some criticism for cashing in on global warming while snubbing his audience at a Fortune Forum in London. Oh, I’m shocked.
Al Gore has come under fire for making personal gain from his mission to save the planet – after charging £3,300 a minute to deliver a poorly received speech. The former American Vice-President was also accused of being “precious” at the London event, demanding his own VIP room and ejecting journalists, despite hopes the star-studded gathering would generate publicity for the fight against global warming.
Ann Coulter wins the voting fraud charges made against her in 2006 when she was found to have voted in a district other than where she lived. I guess the problem from the left’s perspective is that she only voted once, and was still alive.
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter has been cleared of charges she violated election laws by voting in the wrong precinct in a February 2006 election in Palm Beach, Fla
Oh but the wacko left is all ticked off and are writhing in their own venom over this one.
What, you mean you haven’t heard about Ann Coulter’s case or Al Gore’s Fortune Forum appearance from the mainstream media? Just doing the job the mainstream media won’t do.
Dems Briefed On Waterboarding in 2002
More specifically, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was briefed on the extreme interrogation technique. Back then, it was fine. In fact, they wanted to know if there was anything more they could do to break the terrorists to give up information. Today it’s a different story. Today it is torture. Today the disposing of two tapes that supposedly show the technique in practice is called obstruction. Something we need to investigate, according to Joe Biden.
Which is exactly what they are doing today. Both Nancy Pelosi and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va) had been fully briefed on what the CIA was doing in Guantanamo Bay and neither of them objected, much to the dismay of the far left. Then, doing what they felt was the proper thing to do, the CIA notified Jay Rockefeller a few years ago that there were tapes of interrogations and that they intended to destroy them. The CIA was doing a CYA in letting those in oversight responsibilities, like Jay Rockefeller, know of the steps they were taking. After all, keeping secrets secret is what they do. What did Rockefeller do with that news? Nothing. He let it happen, as would anyone else on the side of America.
Enter politics and an election, and now it’s a whole different story. In the absence of core beliefs, it makes politicizing the war and the war effort easy.
Thank goodness that videotapes of interrogations that happened to a couple key al Qaeda bad guys were destroyed. You know that the identities of the real covert operatives would have been splashed all over the New York Times if they still existed and if Jay Rockefeller’s staff ever got their hands on them. For purely political purposes, there seems to be no current of opinion in the media and key democrats to keep the actions secret, including the identities of the covert agents involved. Contrast that to all the fake outrage of exposing the identity of Valerie Plame, a desk clerk analyst, who, at the time, was not a covert CIA agent. Protecting the identities of CIA operatives seem to be a selective, political concept.
