This is a classic.
Al Gore was confronted on Climategate at a book-signing this past weekend in Chicago.
Of course, he didn’t respond to their questions.
Several activists from We Are Change Chicago pulled off the protest.
The activists later chased junk scientist Al Gore down the street after the event.
The state-run media continued to push this junk science tonight reporting that global warming may require higher dams and stilts.

Wow….
I’m curious. Maybe someone can tell me. Were those Secret Service personnel who threw that guy out or was it just private security….?
To me it seemed a little aggressive for just a heckler and I would like to know where they got their authority to manhandle a protester.

Give the fat fraud an Iranian salad…

GorBozo is consuming all the natural resources in its fat belly. His home uses .03 % of all electricity or the entire eastern middle east. His carbon foot prints — note he has an entourage of junket scientists’ have depleted the O-Zone themselves.
GorBozo is a virus.

Neokong, I wondered the same thing. God bless those guys for being fearless.
Did ya hear the lady in line say “Idiot!”??
No words.
Solaratov commented:
Hundreds of billions of dollars being wasted, stolen and directed to the bank accounts of the “eco-elite” — all for the biggest con game ever pulled. Millions of people uprooted, relocated and their lives ruined — all for a fraud.
When the truth of this comes out in full, algore and his “AGW” fraudsters will be extremely lucky if all that happens to them is being tarred and feathered. Some of these so-called “scientists” are going to end up on lamp posts and convenient trees before all is said and done.
And the word of scientists, in the future, will be ignored and ridiculed. People are just not going to trust anything scientists say, no matter what, without absolute, demonstrable proof at hand and in sight.
This little episode has the potential to set back science – on all fronts – by years, because the trust of the people will have been lost.
Hanging may, indeed, be too good for the con men and thieves involved in this.

Stilts? What’s up with that?
jainphx commented:
The fraud goes real deep! The auto industry was ruined by forcing all the green nonsense on them in cafe standards and design. The rv’s that we all loved were made out to be disastrous to the environment, and we have all seen how all that turned out. Forced toilets on us that are inferior to the old. Light bulbs with mercury are the law of the land. All the while they have been pocketing BILLIONS of dollars with this farce. Please someone tell me where Al Gore got his BILLIONS!
jainphx commented:
We have billions and billions of untapped oil and natural gas deposits in this country that they wont allow us to harvest. Why? I think we are beginning to find out.
This is another “I told you so moment” from Rush, who has for years been telling us exactly what’s been happening. The green movement and the AGW group are one and the same, one world government communists that hide behind lies. WAKE UP PLEASE.

I love these young people. Maybe there is hope for America yet.
My 18 year son loved it too. Let’s hope his generation understands the massive scamming and frauding going on.
I wish I could have been there!
Derak commented:
thanks for posting this Jim. I was searching specifically for Al Gore’s comments on the scandal a couple days ago and landed on this video, posted at Alex Jones site Info wars.
I was hesitant to lend it credence after I learned of Jones, ahhh, background. But then I realized it doesn’t matter where I found the vid, it was for real. Al Gore’s henchmen trampled the hell out of these guys 1st amendment rights, and demonstrated once again he IS an arrogant, smug, fraudulent little bastard.
He is the movement, and the movement will treat all in exactly the same manner as seen on this video. En masse.
Dangerous, dangerous politics, this.
opaobie commented:
I’m surprised the media haven’t spun this as “Out of humility and deference, Owlgore gallantly retreats because he knew the fans fawning after him couldn’t really afford the $1200 price tag for shaking his hand.”…or something to that effect.
rjjrdq commented:
Can you blame him for not answering the protesters? What could he say? The truth?

Arnold is certainly doing his share.
JaneLovesJesus commented:
I’ll give it to ‘em for guts.
I believe at least a few of the Warmies in line are going to google Climategate and start to think for themselves.
I do believe people can learn; eyes can be opened.
Arch commented:
I can’t find a schedule for Al Gore book signings. Wish we could all organize some welcoming parties to let Al know how we feel about Our Choices. This could be fun.

wow. these protesters are fearless. feminist women are in abundant, i see. these people in line for the scam book are the same people who put obama and his ilk in the white house.
be at the polls in 2010! vote out these vile democrats and rinos. take our country back!

“Where did Algore get his millions?” (That number is currently approaching billions). He is generating his money from a venture capital fund, that concerns itself w/green technologies. That’s right, the evil capitalist system is OK if you’re directly benefitting from it. There couldn’t be a more blatant conflict of interest.
naturalfake commented:
Aww, poor Al looks hungry….
Maybe he should eat some:
Fruit of the Poison Tree, Tarts From the Poison Fruit
catmman commented:
If these people weren’t Truther, tinfoil nutjobs, this would be a good thing.
Once the guy asked the question, and you can see the immediate response, that was enough. Once the idiot got mouthy and loud, what did he think was going to happen. And his spouting NWO, and other nutball crap while he was being led out just give them ammo to show any skeptic as nuts.
I’m glad someone asked him the question directly, as I said the immediate response – to shuffle the guy away and get him away from Gore was all that was needed.
To bad these people let their crackpot ideas get in the way of a good, genuine ‘Gotcha!”
Sequoia commented:
Catman,
I’m sure you know this, but they’re LEFTIES. I just file this under Sun-Tzu’s truism: The enemy of my enemy is my friend…
I love watching the liberal/progressive/greenies, it’s like watching a snake eat its own tail!
Andreas K. commented:
Sweet. Lay it into him!
Poor Al Gore. He’s not used to this.
And I’m very amused.
catmman commented:
Seqouia,
As I said, I’m glad they gave Gore a ‘gotcha’, but it loses it’s luster that it comes from anti-american, paranoid, crackpots.
This would have so much more impact had they NOT jumped to the conspiratorial. Had they simply filmed what initially happened, this would be all over the web by now.
As it is, this is a missed opportunity.
Mark in Kansas commented:
I`m so disappointed in the traditional media outlets for their failure to touch this ongoing and developing story. I took the time this morning to log onto ABC News’s website and send them my comments.
“The release of e-mails and data from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University is a significant event. Related to this event was that the Director of the Climate Research Unit stepped down from his post pending an investigation into what appears to be one of the biggest scientific scandals ever. Also related is that NASA is being sued under FOIA laws for release of their climate observation data. This ongoing and significant event has been developing since before Thanksgiving.
The longer your company waits to begin reporting on these event, the worse it will look when the story reaches the point that it can no longer be ignored. I really would like to see ABC report on these events as they happen. That ABC continues to ignore the story as it grows in intensity detracts from the credibility of your company.”
I`m nearly positive my comments will have little effect on their choice to ignore the story but I have to at least make the effort to prod them to do the right thing.
Marsh commented:
I’m clonflicted by the statements made by the protestors. While I admire their zeal I question their sources. Whenever someone starts ranting about the New World Order I generally roll my eyes. Especially because it’s a term and an idea used by a whole host of groups with differing agendas, political ideologies and levels of sanity. But in my own research of the left and with my experiences as a former leftist I’ve found that there is indeed a push by the intellectual left to create a one world government. It’s nothing new really. There was the push for the League of Nations and then it’s surviving sucessor the United Nations by people who believe that the existence of sovreign nation states leads to tribal-like conflict and competition. They thought creating a super state and erasing international borders would eliminate the need for war and inequality. And many on the left still like that idea and believe in pursuing that goal still to this day. Regardless of the merits of such a worldview it is indeed a real ideology being pushed by the international left. The European Union is a prime example of this ideology played out in the real world. And I honestly believe that there is a lot of truth to the accusations that the global hysteria over global warming is being used as the prime catalyst for accomplishing the goal of creating an internationalist global government. There’s also credibility with the accusation that the left believes in eugenics. Many people aren’t aware of this but eugenics was widely believed in and praised by the left in the early 20th century. And nowadays eugenics has been preached through proxy in the last couple decades by the general demonization of humanity itself through the environmentalist movement on the left. They think humans are a cancer on this planet and are destroying mother earth. And again, regardless of the merits of this worldview it is indeed a widespread mindset on the political left. So in conclusion, I think the left certainly gives the conspiracy theorists plenty of ammunition through their own bizzare views. They really have no one to blame but themselves.

I used to refer to the “conspiracy theory” as a theory, but now as time goes on and more information becomes availble even some of the most practible and intellegent scholars just have to agree that something is going on here.
Once you start collecting dots, it is almost like each issue happenening in our world to day is another piece in the worldwide jigsaw puzzle of a one-world government.
One of the subject of the last Bildenberg meeting was global climate change and population control.
Look at Mikheil Gorbachev when he came to the US in 1992? He was heavy into the environmental issue and still is today. Too much info to post here. But he has connections to Pelosi and California senators. He has his office in one our most prestigious landmarks The Presidio, thanks to Nancy.
Start searching on tags: UN, Gorbachev, Cult of Gaia, UN, new age movement, Agenda 21, Club of Rome.
Requires a lot of patience, but the info is there.
Even David Letterman (ugh) said to Gore in a interview. “we will give you anything to stop this global warming, so what you are saying take all our money, save us.” “you stand to get millions from this deal right?” Al Gore, “yes”
I do disagree with some of the NWO; in that it’s speculation and it is theory. However, not impossible with the world moving rapidly. Globaist need to rid the world of opposers in order to come into power.
As a Christian, I have studied end time prophecies and, Biblically, this is how the AntiChrist will rise to power; through some global catastrope. The AntiChrist will atempt to become a One-World Leader. All the global events could be a trial balloon or it could be the real thing. As in the Book of Daniel, knowledge will increase as time goes on.
Watson commented:
Hells yeah! Thankfully people are protesting this buffoon in public. I would be great to organize a huge group to show up at his next book signing (or whatever) and overwhelm his security (who ever they are).
bunninac commented:
truthers, ten foot pole, hold your nose, etc.
We need disprove and discredit Gore in every way possible but allying with truthers to do so doesn’t sit with me.
ugh commented:
Exactly. These are the same moonbat college kid types we would be snickering at under the Bush years. Alex Jones and the like, are not to be taken seriously.
Wind Rider commented:
These guys massively violated the KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) principle – and as others have pointed out, botched what could have been a very, very powerful incident.
STICK TO THE POINT – if you ever, ever EVER get the opportunity for this kind of confrontation, stick to the FACTS that the public is likely to recognize without even thinking about it – such as
- care to comment on the finding of a British court that your docudrama was a fraud?
- any statement you’d care to make about research showing that CO2 lags temperature change, and always has?
- could you explain why you continue to avoid open, public debate of the issue you advocate, and hide behind the “science is settled” falsehood?
Keep it SIMPLE.
Stay on POINT.
DO NOT start a spittle flecked rant.
Get it on VIDEO – and FILE CHARGES against ham handed ‘security goons’ that commit assault (i.e. manhandling you far outside the zone immediately surrounding the EX VP.)
THAT is how to nail this fraudulent son of a bitch.
