Oh so that is why Al Gore is not running for President of America....he has moved up to be el presiturban of the billion muslims who helped elect all the democrats in Congress this last time.

I suppose that would put him in the islamocommunist camp...

al Gore failed to win Tennessee with its eleven electoral votes in 2000. The denizens of the Volunteer State knew who and what he was.

Otherwise well educated, successful, intellegent, Americans become nothing more than the useful idiot dujour for the Islamocommienazis.

Does anyone know how to transform the little hand icon that appears when you link to something? I would prefer my little hand to display another digit rather than the index when going to an islamic site!

So has Mr Gore gone to the dark side like Dark Emperor Carter?

Posted by: payingattention at February 8, 2007 3:46 PM

Geez if Al Gore the bore, and ole Jimma Carter the liar would just move to Iran. America would be better off.

Posted by: AMartinez at February 8, 2007 3:48 PM

Though I am sure that Al Gore doesn't have a clue about the history of Jihad or how it is at the summit of Islam regarding the holiest action a true muslim should take, I won't be painting him with the same brush as these Islamists.

If he wrote this special for this Jihadi site, or ok'd it's posting, or even knows now that they have used on of his speech, but has refused to take action- then he could be seen as sell-out.

But it is more likely that his article has been co-opted and used without his knowledge, which means that though his ideas and theories overlap with the Islamists, it doesn't make him one.

He is probably an inadvertant useful idiot.

Nevermind that his grammar sucks:

===========================
What would America’s founding fathers think about President Bush’s assertion that he has inherent power, his wrongful IN invasion of Iraq and the eroding rights of US citizens?
=============================

Capitalization mine

Take care.

I'm not going to rush to judgment on this.

Websites, such as the one in question, will make use of any materials they see fit in an attempt to increase their credibility. This especially includes appropriation of work by high-profile individuals, such as old speeches made by US ex-vice-presidents, in order to provide the illusion of broad-based support for their message. It's nothing new. It goes back to Mohammed himself, who thought nothing of appropriating ideas he found useful, just as he was completely comfortable with the notion of appropriating anyting else he could lay his hands on. It's not Al Gore's words that are objectionable. Far from it. Rather it's the appearance of his words and his name on the site. Does he know that his name and work appear there? That's the first question I ask. I'll wait to hear the answer before I judge Al Gore.

I fear that this will only lead to another divisive "left versus right" debate, beneficial only to those who wish to see the West distracted from the task at hand: defense of liberty from all threats, within and without.

It is completely insane for that site to exist and promote its anti-liberty, anti-democracy, anti-freedom terrorist enlistment agenda in the world of the 21st Century internet.

Where are the legions of internet hackers who blather on about freedom and democracy and all the other qualities that they claim to stand for as they destroy websites? There is the target which stands directly against everything they claim to stand for and is working to take away their rights one by one and harm their loved ones and them. Where are they?

Just don't leave it to the Congress, or we'll be up to our ears for the next generation in this war ! I'm hoping the squash in Iraq will make-em all think, but that's only a speculation right now.

Posted by: Jeff at February 8, 2007 5:56 PM

All Canadian government agencies have been informed of that terrorist cell/website and action requested.

So we shall sit back and see if anything happens. A grand and transparent experiment to test the actions of a modern democracy's efforts on jihad terrorism on the internet.

Posted by: squire at February 8, 2007 6:23 PM

For the sake of clarification --- not that it oes much good on this site --- Jihad unspun is a news site that offers coverage of world affairs from a perspective that says, "hey, americans and coalition fighters aren't super men, they are dieing also. Non-Western civilian populations are being injured and killed, not by muslim militias but by every side in the war. American Media is not the only viewpoint or the be all - end all when it comes to truth. There are many things occuring in the entire world that the west will not print but there are other sources. And in closing, Even though the U.S.D.O.D. spends literally tens of millions of dollars on propoganda through media, there are places you can learn about the current on going war with out all the spin."

It is not a jihaadi site. Just because it goes against the views of this particular audience doesn't make it "jihaadi" (whatever that is supposed to mean - it is simply made up words to issue fear and distrust. The same tactics we've seen in the last hundred years by another super power bent on war, world domination and the elimination of entire groups of people because they are 'different'. That's like the word anti-semite and hearing people calling an arab an anti-semite, purely semantics used to cause distrust and fear.)

In fact this site spews far more hatred in a single week than that site has had since it's debut in 2001.

Reading of their acomplishments makes one wonder who and what is actually being reported by our media. One would think if we had any real reporters, we would know better the number of times their bombs hit pay dirt. Assuming what they report is creditable.

We need a new policy in Iraq to reduce these road side bombings. It's time to create Iraqi Chain Gangs to clean the Roads and Streets US military Personnel travel on. 24/7. Get rid of the prisons housing these people. Just put them to work cleaning up their mess. Dress them in Orange Jump Suits with white Beenies on their heads. Shackled and Chained. Shovels and Rakes with Dump Trucks. Dig and Rake. every day, Day after day, 24/7. Let everyone else get a good look at who are doing all the menial work. Shame them befor their fellow Countryman.(if you wish to go that far). Better the bad guys find their friends handi work than our Troops.

Carpet Bombing is another option. It just doesn't leave much Rug to sweep the rubble under.

Al Gore is displaying the shocking ignorance so much in evidence at the DNC meeting recently.

So this guy thinks apparently he's the smartest thing since sliced bread. In reality he is a useful idiot for Islamic propagandists and fringe elements we can do without. Or maybe he has simply bored everybody else that will listen to him and he's found an ear in the Middle east where they don't like the US either.

Once upon a time I would have backed him for president. Never again. Certainly not after this.

If he didn't sell out he might as well have.

I wonder. Hasn't this idiot noticed that there are No functioning democracies??? Or that not a single Islamic nation has an acceptable human rights record? Or that virtually all Islamic states back warfare against non-islamic states? That Islam's history has been a continuous bloodbath? And that Islam has contributed absolutely nothing comparable to the US COnstitution in its 14 centuries of existence?

I guess not.

I guess I won't be voting Democratic again either. What a bunch of losers. I am aghast at this display, truly.

If anything is 'unbalanced' here--it's old Al himself.

The sad thing about Al Gore is that his own daddy went over to inspect the UN's handling of the "Arab refugees" back in the early 1950s and reported on the fraud going on which included triple counting the same person under different aliases.

Posted by: waterdragon52 at February 9, 2007 8:31 AM

The broken link appears to lead to one of two speeches that Gore made in 2004. In one, given on at the We Media Conference on October 6, 2004, Gore discussed the importance of Freedom of the press for the founding fathers, and the role of the internet in continuing that tradition. The punchline of that speech was: The final point I want to make is this: "We must ensure that the Internet remains open and accessible to all citizens without any limitation on the ability of individuals to choose the content they wish regardless of the Internet service provider they use to connect to the Worldwide Web. We cannot take this future for granted. We must be prepared to fight for it because some of the same forces of corporate consolidation and control that have distorted the television marketplace have an interest in controlling the Internet marketplace as well. Far too much is at stake to ever allow that to happen."

"We must ensure by all means possible that this medium of democracy's future develops in the mold of the open and free marketplace of ideas that our Founders knew was essential to the health and survival of freedom."

Wow that must have really excited those Jihadists.

The other speech, Given by Mr. Gore on June 24, 2004 at the Georgetown University Law Center. In that speech Al Gore criticized the Bush Administration for what he saw as abuses of presidential power. Gore invoked George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin in this speech, and quoted John Adams, "The executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or either of them...to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men."

I bet the Jihadists would have loved that line, Don't you?

Posted by: Barton at February 9, 2007 9:43 AM

I will send ex-vice-president a letter on Sharia vs. the U.S. Constitution.

Posted by: A_Plague_on_Both_Houses at February 9, 2007 9:59 AM

Barton:

You quote Al Gore

"We must ensure by all means possible that this medium of democracy's future develops in the mold of the open and free marketplace of ideas that our Founders knew was essential to the health and survival of freedom."

Do you seriously find these words objectionable? They are a direct expression of support for the US Constitution's First Amendment. This is the Amendment that jihadists would overturn first before all others, if they had their way. True, it is the amendment that the jihadists exploit to spew their venom. But is is also the amendment that ensures that their venom can be subjected to analysis, criticism and even ridicule. It is up to citizens of the West to exercise their right to speak out. Not only in forums such as this site, but more importantly to their government. It's called "democracy."

You go on to say how Al Gore quotes John Adams:

"The executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or either of them...to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men."

Do you have a problem with that? A government of laws, a constitutional government, is exactly what the founders of the US were about. At that time they were concerned about the tyranny of privilege by birth. They founded a government in which the will of the people would be reflected in the laws of the land. These are not the "eternal" laws conceived by Mohammed in pursuit of his own agenda, but laws brought forward and subjected to open debate before enactment and to repeal when no longer reflecting the will of the people.

Surely, these are the values the West holds dear, yes? So why is Al Gore blameworthy for uttering words in their support?
