A few reactions to Al Gore's latest

I guess you've all heard:

Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.

Gore said Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications. [...]
C'mon Al, give it up. There's only one Jimmy Carter.

Does anyone know whether any of the pharmaceuticals are developing something that could help Gore?

And thank you, Florida.

One can't parse what Gore said to mean he is faithful to the country, though he disagrees with the administration. I can't be done.

He is faithful to political power and the Democratic Party, he just sold his country out in the hope the fallout will return him and his associates to political power. He is not, by any stretch of the imagination, alone in his betrayal of his country for personal political power, nor is it a problem exclusive to Democrats. There are Republicans every bit as corrupt and morally bankrupt as Gore. That does not make Gore any less of a traitorous bastard.

If what he had said were true and not inflammatory rhetoric twisted from the truth to attain maximum false impression, that might ameliorate the charge I now make, that he betrayed his country. Clever phrasing that allows him wiggle room to avoid criminal charges while doing damage to our nation and its citizens that will die, directly due to his false and misleading rhetoric does not absolve him of the moral responsibility he shirked. Nor does it relieve him of the guilt of his unpatriotic actions in aid of the terrorists with which we are engaged in conflict for survival all over the world.
