Gore Lapdog Syndrome
Dr. Paul Krugman sees “Gore Derangement Syndrome.”
Who knew he could self-diagnose?
Jules Crittenden has more.
Meanwhile, the Gore worshipers at Apple seem to have regained their composure. Their online, front-page altar to Al Gore has been taken down and replaced with an iPod promo. Looks like my Apple-using readers aren’t the only ones who complained.

I wrote Apple and told them I was returning to my PC (personal computer Libs not politically coorect) and never buying Apple again until Gore relieves himself from the Board of Directors. I like my Apple iMac but than again it is just a computer.
My husband needs a new computer and was going to buy an Apple but not now. Also, we just bought plain old mp 3 players and not ipods.
When will the liberal MSM realize that alot of people are tired of hearing their whiney-butts complain about the 2000 election? It’s getting old and it’s hurting my ears.
BWAAAAHAAAHA - stain! Are there still fools out there that think Gore is President? It must be true, it was in the movie!
Ummm, Ramadan was over this weekend and I said it before, the green had nothing to do with Gore.
Oh, save yourself some $$$ and get a Toshiba laptop. They do everything and work everywhere - I know.
What Krugman said was that the right is obsessed with Gore and all the honors he’s earned because of the contrast he makes with Bush. This embarrasses them because it reminds them that Bush deserved to lose in 2000.
I wish Krugman hadn’t written a column that was pop psycho-analysis. But if you don’t like Krugman telling you why you feel the way you do about Gore, think of all the times you’ve told me I hate Bush because I hate America.
Then we can get back to the real embarrassment: that wise people around the world think Gore is good and right while they think Bush is stupid, wrong, and dangerous.
Doesn’t it give you even the slightest pause that one learned group after another accepts global warming as a serious problem?
You mean like “one learned group after another” used to think:
The universe revolved around earth - oops
The sun rotated around Earth - oops.
The world was flat - oops.
Pluto was a planet - oops.
So, if “learned groups” agree - they are right and we should not question them? Ummm, you are a teacher? Teach, how is it that most scientists know that CO2 is NOT a greenhouse gas? That decaying vegetation gives off more CO2 than humans?
Kill the cows – the sky is falling!!!
Oh, and one more “learned group” that does not have a clue - Congress.
Let’s see…
mankind a danger to the upper atmosphere ozone layer - BUSTED! due to new study results it turns out we have no idea what is causing the trend, AND it always increases and decreases with the amount of sunshine (there’s that pesky sun again)
mankind creates CO2, CO2 causes global warming - BUSTED! track backs to 100,000 years using various analogs has determined that warming PRECEDES elevated CO2 levels, in addition the CO2 level was multiple times the current value during the peak of a major ice age
Finally, will someone please explain to the brain dead on the left how the Electoral College works, please! Bush won! Get over it!
And oops - in the 80’s Time Magazine was hand wringing about global cooling. And somehwere down the road can someone tell me what Gore’s movie has to do with world peace? And hat’s off to the WSJ for highlighting the people that really make a difference. And Krugman, take your global warming tax and shove up your pea brained little white behind.
Not only lame, but inaccurate. The votes were counted numerous times and Gore lost. Get over it. Even Gore’s home state didn’t support him and what’s more telling than having your own not want you? Gore didn’t lose because of Florida. He lost because Tennessee knew Gore and didn’t swing Gore’s way. Very intelligent people in Tennessee.
Gore is good and right? Excuse me while I laugh. He won’t debate global warming because he can’t defend his convenient lies. Finally, experts are speaking up and pointing out where that politically motivated propaganda movie is wrong. Gore no more deserved the Nobel Peace prize than did Arafat. In a few years, people will look back and wonder at the stupidity of those who took Gore at face value.
Bush is not stupid. While he may be wrong on immigration and some issues, but I shudder at the thought of having had Gore in office during these past 7 years. Look what the Dems are doing just having control of Congress. Gore is an arrogant, inept fool. No wonder he is the poster boy of the left.
LGM…what gives me pause is the ridiculous number of people that actually subscribe to Algores theories. Key word there being THEORIES.
The only groups that seem to be impressed with Gore are Leftists like Gore. I don’t see scientists lining up to support him, nor do I see scientific societies heaping praise on him. No, it doesn’t give me the slightest bit of pause, thank you.
The Left has managed to sell the idea that science is done by consensus, but taking a vote on the facts. The more people that you can get to vote on your side of the issue, the more correct your position must be. That is not how it really works. That is how speculation works, but not truth. Sadly, truth is a concept that the Left wishes to abolish altogether.

See Drudge Report “Dr. Gray”. Pay close attention to the last line or two.
Much like Islam, Mikey123, “peace” will be achieve when everyone accepts Al Gore’s version of things, starts living in caves, and saves the planet…
And actually, global cooling was the hysteria of the 1970s.
When man believes, as many liberals do, that THEY are God things like the power of nature and intelligent design are no longer important - mankind must be the source and summit of all on the planet. Never mind there have been warming and cooling cycles for CENTURIES before the Hummer was invented, and long before the industrial revolution.
Does this mean we should chuck our trash out into the street? Hardly. We are given by God responsibility to be stewards of the earth and have dominion over it, but enviro-nuts like Gore won’t be satisfied until you and I are housing with stalactites, sans car or electricity, while he flies about the country in his jet to lecture us on global warming…only to return to his mansion at night to sleep while the hoi polloi huddles en masse to keep warm in the eco-friendly paradise Gore envisions.

Do you not consider the UK to be a learned group?
I don’t think I have ever seen the “deer in the headlights” syndrome as evident as it was in Krugman’s. He has not clue to reality, as demonstrated during a stint on that Bill Mahr clip over at HotAir.com.
If there is kool-aid to drink, this sycophant is ready with his own straw. Pathetic.
I don’t think anyone here has ever equated Bush hatred with America hatred. What does make us think you hate America is your cheerleading for its enemies and the flawless predictability with which you take the side of her opposition.
I’d love to see a list of these “wise people”. Let me say ahead of time that an organization that gives a peace prize to the father of modern terrorism does not qualify.
Oh, and by any objective standard Bush is smarter than Gore. Deal with it.
Odd then that all these learned groups can’t seem to present a single coherent theory borne out by empirical observation.
Just out of curiosity, which of these learned groups is represented by Cameron Diaz?
Where shall I start? His utter hypocrisy of instructing us to change light bulbs, while he jets around the earth in gas-guzzling birds? And his house using multiple times the energy the average American uses?
The fact that fewer than half of published scientists actually endorse man-made global warming, yet he claims there’s a “scientific consensus”?
The fact his much-touted fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record was wrong, but he hasn’t A) Corrected, B) Talked about it.
The fact he pushes people to purchase carbon offsets, then makes money off of those purchases?
And that’s just on climate.
I’m old enough to remember my grade school teachers warning us that if we didn’t embrace solar power we’d have an ice age so bad that in 1995 we’d be able to walk to the Statue of Liberty.
Today they say if we don’t embrace the clean energy du jour we’ll melt the South Pole.
Mutually exclusive theories put forth with equal conviction and / or hysteria, and we’re supposed to not notice.
Here’s a question I’d love to see answered: if it’s human pollution that’s responsible for global warming then why is it happening now instead of during the industrial revolution? Even the worst polluters today can’t hold a candle to the crud such factories used to churn out willy-nilly, yet mankind somehow survived.
What groups? Apple? Greenpeace? Fellow moonbats?
Actual, ya know, scientists don’t have the consensus Gore claims. For example, the latest research shows that less than half (45%) of published scientists actually endorse the theory of man-made global warming. Only 7% give explicit endorsement.
Dr. William Gray, a pioneer in hurricane forecasting, calls Gore’s information “foolish”.
Even the meteorologist on CNN was happy when a British Court ruled that at least 9 parts of Gore’s film were factually incorrect and his film is “one-sided”.
Oh, since you bring up hurricanes, in the movie AlGore said that the experts predict the year following the release of movie would be the worst hurricane activity in history. We had ZERO hurricanes make landfall that year. By leftist reasoning, we should always predict the worst hurricane season on record in order to keep hurricanes from forming!
You want to talk about an Al Gore lapdog syndrome? Try what our so-called Republican Governor here in Minnesota is climbing in bed with.
http://www.startribune.com/462/story/1484316.html
This is Al Gore lapdog syndrome to the fullest.
HuffPo and the Kos kids are in full kneepad mode.
If the Democrats wanted to Al Gore to be President so badly, they should have impeached and removed Bill Clinton when they had the chance.
Al Gore lost in 2000, not because of Florida, but because he couldn’t carry his own state (Tennessee) or Bill Clinton’s home state of Arkansas. Consolatrion prize: He did carry Hillary’s ‘home state’ of New York……..
I will concede to the herd mentality of your set of ‘learned groups’ on global warming when you can prove:
1. That it isn’t a natural cyclic phenomena
2. That humans are the direct cause of all of global warming
3. That most of ‘the learned groups’ don’t have a financial or political power stake in the outcome of the debate on global warming.
So far, the ‘blame humans’ (and the ‘blame the US in particular’) crowd have said very little about the industrialization of India and China - whose air pollution problems are well documented yet get a free pass from the Kyoto treaty. Until they level the playing field, I won’t bleat and follow the flock.
Yeah - Global Warming could cause wars - the primary reason Al Gore won the Nobel Peace prize. Anybody in your ‘learned groups’ think that maybe global warming might allow us to utilize more farm land to grow more food to feed the starving masses? One problem solving another without investing a dime of questionable taxes?
Help me here, people. I seem to recall that none of the democrats were unhappy with the Electoral College when Slick Willie won twice with less than 45% of the popular vote. Now they want to eliminate the EC. They win, EC ok, they lose, EC not ok. Am I missing something?
No lgm, we are not being told why we think Gore is a doofus. We are being told what HE thinks we feel. Obviously, you are just as self-deluded. See, Gore DID NOT deserve the awards he received. JUST LIKE he DIDN’T deserve to win the Presidency according to the Constitution. His “documentary” is laden with lies and fear-mongering and was proven in a British Court to hold upwards of 11 lies. These are lies so big that in order to show the film in schools it has to be accompanied by papers telling the children just how wrong it is. Therefore, to award him for his lies just shows how undeserved his awards are. Just like calling Moore’s tripe “documentaries” and giving him awards that are undeserved and driven purely by political motivations and an attempt to continually discredit Bush with a “nyah nyah, see what you missed out on” mentality.
Gore has broken centuries old honors about not speaking out about the President when you lose the election…as has Clinton, I might add. He has gone on the stump, screaming like a madman at the top of his lungs about Bush and his sour grapes for not being the President, trying to hide the fact that the administration he was in was responsible for many terrorist attacks against this country as well as the hijackers of 9-11 training here for 5 years under his watch. His “Man-Bear-Pig” quest for someone to hear and listen to him about the falseness behind man-made Global Warming has lead to a religious ferver with him as pope, even though he is far from an expert and can only get people to listen to him by over-sensationalizing and dealing with the cult of fear-mongering. He has used the meatheads in Hollywood who will glom onto any cause they think is right, and since he was so scary, they glomed onto his.
More and more scientists are coming out, even though it means they will no longer gain grants from the people that stand to profit from this lie, to tell the truth. However, Gore and his macine keep the truth from being told. He stands to continue to make millions from his lie, and will do anything he can to quash those that will threaten those millions.
Your own Bush Derrangement Syndrome keeps you from seeing what is basic common sense. If you want to buy into the lie, then go right ahead, but don’t think you aer smart enough to know what and why we think Gore is the fool and bully he is. As long as you believe in the Boogieman then right and reason will always escape you, and people who have truly worked towards peace will go unrewarded and people truly worthy of awards and accolades will continue to go wanting.
No, you’re not missing anything, that sums it up nicely. See related Liberal beliefs on Federalism, judicial activism, executive privilige and the living constitution.
Just like there was a distinct lack of calls of fraud and voter intimidation following the 2006 elections. Dems won, thus all the problems must have been fixed, even though the calls were there up to the minute that the polls opened.
Their hypocrisy is stunning…and telling.
No, you’re not.
I recall that in 2000, shortly before their “October Surprise” DWI revelation and when Bush was clearly leading in the opinion polls, that it was the Democrats who were gaming different electoral college scenarios to overcome the popular vote.
They only changed their tune when the anticipated election-night circumstances reversed themselves. Then all of a sudden it was, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, the electoral college has got to go.”
Again, we are dealing with people for whom everything is a tactical exercise aimed at making other people change their lifestyles to the “correct” liberal model. That’s how their 1960s-1970s Chicken Little prognostications about “The Coming Ice Age” could so effortlessly morph into present-day fear-mongering about “Global Warming” - and how they’re coming to argue lately that “Global Warming” is going to cause “The Coming Ice Age.”
What gets these people out of bed in the morning isn’t the sound of an alarm clock, but rather the hope that today - maybe today - the American people will finally let themselves be dictated to by their “superiors” on the left.
Errors covertly corrected by the I.P.C.C. after publication and Uncorrected Errors by Al Gore
By
Lord Monckton of Brenchley
March 2007
By far the most damning evidence of all that global warming is caused by leftist politicians.
From the report:
Gore says 48 Nobel-laureate scientists accused President Bush of distorting science, but omits that the scientists were members of a political group set up to promote a Democrat presidential candidate. (Page 9 just above “References”)
So algore is on Apple’s BOD. Could this be his first real job?
Bjorn Lomborg, who is a scientist. (His view on Global Warming is, he doesn’t dispute it, but thinks we’re better served by simply adapting to it rather than trying to prevent it.)
Also go over to Power and Control blog and follow M. Simon’s links on Climate Science. He’s concluded that the Climate Scientists are cooking the books, based on the article he’s linked to. Read them and judge for yourself.
They are grateful for his invention - The Internet. He also needs an iPod to drown out the noise from that Gulfstream.
Al Gore and Michael Moore,
No need to say anything more.
“Now they want to eliminate the EC. They win, EC ok, they lose, EC not ok. Am I missing something?”
Spot on! Liberals have starnge concepts about the EC as well as free speech (Say anything you want as long as I agree.) and taxes (More taxes as long as I don’t have to pay them).
With so many conflicts with reason, I still wonder if one has to be mentally imbalanced to be a liberal or if being a faithful liberal makes one mentally unbalanced.
This thread has many points to comment on, but here are just a few:
I would love the sourcing on this. As far as I know, there is exactly one top level climate modeler who does not believe in global warming — Kerry Emanuel at MIT. Bjorn Lomborg is not a physical scientist, but an economist. His stuff is debunked all over the web (google debunk lomborg for a sample).
This site and its relatives often claim that people push global warming as a way to slow down US economic growth and make Americans worse off. I don’t think Krugman ever cheerled for Al Qaeda or Saddam.
We agree: Krugman’s opinion of of why you “hate” (disagree with) Gore may not be your actual reason. Krugman would be better off arguing about global warming than trying to psycho-analyze you.
You know the list, groups that you normally would trust until their opinions differ from yours — the National Academy of Sciences, the Geophysical Union, the Nobel Prize committee, …
lgm,
You came off a dumb before. You going for deranged?
lgm,
You conveniently argue from generalizations. It’s easier…you can actually do it and not even know what you’re talking about.
lgm’s a teacher. I fear for our youth.
And GORE is?
How about Lord Monckton of Brenchley who has challenged GORE to a debate and GORE refuses? Why? What does GORE fear from a debate on GW? Facts? You betcha!
Your GOD on GW is a joke.
I think Albert Einstein said it best: “Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”
lgm, Here’s a couple of citations for you.
Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works There are at least 19 other article links at this link
Danish National Space Center Study This one is the actual study, thus it has statistics, and methodology.
I said this:
lgm, you responded with this:
1) I didn’t mention Krugman, I was talking about you.
2) Whether or not you think the sacrifice would be worthwhile, you cannot reasonably dispute that adoption of Gore’s wish list would slow US economic growth and make Americans worse off.
3) Nothing in your answer does anything to support your orignal assertion, which was that people here equate hatred of President Bush with hatred of America. Indeed, considering the extreme distaste with which many of us view him that’s a really bizarre and illogical thing to believe.
And so, again, you display the extreme difficulty you have in forming, explaining and defending a rationally constructed point of view.
Yep James, but you have to admit lgm makes a great troll!
And I, once again, applaud lgm for NOT starting his comments by bashing our hostess!
