wow ... John Podhoretz thinks a Dem is insane ... what next? the sun is going to rise in the east? Either Al is criticized for being too cardboard or he's criticized for being too emotional. Fact is, this speach (and his timbre therein) reflected the outrage most Americans feel about where this morally bankrupt administration has taken the country. This is no longer the America that believes in due process. This is no longer the America that values human rights. This is no longer the America that believes in free speech (the minute someone questions the motives of the president, they're accused of aiding/abetting al quaeda). The best the wingnuts have come up with is comparing MoveOn to the Klan (Hannity) and calling Al insane ... god forbid we actually have an intelligent discussion on what was actually SAID.

Amazing...a buncha reactionaries recognizing deranged anger. Have the truly disturbing performances of Coulter and O'Reilly escaped their notice?

Gore's speech was magnificent and every word of it was true.

Was Gore defeated in 2000 by other than a Supreme Court 5-4 vote?
Did Gore not poll more votes than Bush?
Is Bush more trustworthy than Gore with nukes? Given the appalling mess in Iraq, how can any rational person believe Gore a lesser man than Bush?

As soon as someone speaks the truth the Republicans are all over it, labeling the guy insane.

But there's nothing quite as insane as the policies of this administration.

Gore is angry about it and everyone ought to be.

Note the utter absence of intelligent rebuttal to Gore's accusations here. The substance-free ad hominem attack is about all the Bushies have to answer with given W's laughably embarrassing performance.

Yeah -- Gore must be insane; how could anyone say something like this??

"What makes the United States special in the history of nations is our commitment to the rule of law and our carefully constructed system of checks and balances. Our natural distrust of concentrated power and our devotion to openness and democracy are what have led us as a people to consistently choose good over evil in our collective aspirations, more than the people of any other nation."

i felt sick to my stomach when i watched gore's speech on C-SPAN. can a political party scare the american people into voting for their candidate? that's what it seems like the dems are trying to do, yet kerry's iraq strategy is the same as bush's. what a weird election this is going to be.

I though that Gore's remarks about Miami County Mayor Alex Paneles were TOTALLY disgusting, coming from a man who was Vice-President of this United States. I believe he has lost it completely. Would ANYONE in their RIGHT MIND vote for a complete incompetent like Gore? His last two speeches show the degree to which he will stoop just to win an election and regret not the loyal people he steps on in the process. I believe he's ready for the "assisted living" complex where he will receive help for his "goreisms" and learn how to tell the difference between truth and lies. Thereby, he will be able to give a speech of reason and logic. "Bush/Cheney in 2004" has made a major step in the right direction because of Gore's speech on Alex Peneles, as has Mr. Peneles. The tables have turned on you, Mr. Gore. Time to think before you speak! (That is if you hope to save face and save the Democratic Party). Maybe they should kick you out of the "party" until you are well again!

Left like Nader, nuts like Dean Yesterday, Al Gore gave the Speech Fisked round the World before a ("nonpartisan" - ha!) Moveon.org crowd. I'm torn about whether it represents the leftward drift of Al Gore, or the mainstreaming of moonbattery, but a few sections are worth...

Weird Al Strikes Back
Sometime since the 2000 election, Weird Al Gorevich was abducted and impregnated by aliens. How else to explain his latest performance? Not content with the Alpha Male image, the normally glassy-eyed Gore shed the vacant Valley of the Dolls

When Gores Attack Ok, it's one thng when James Joyner notes (correctly, btw) that the former Vice President's speech yesterday was evocative of "Jesse Jackson on crack" but you know it's bad when Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Marquis de Bush?" href="http://www.nytimes.com/...
