Living On Earth is one of those wacky eco-blogs that calls what it does “Sound Journalism for the Whole Planet.” No, seriously, that’s what it says on the website’s masthead.
LOE recently interviewed Maggie Fox, President and CEO of the Climate Reality Project, Al Gore’s latest scam and she came up with something that raised the eyebrows of even an eco-wacko journalist who specializes in sound journalism for the whole planet:
FOX: I think the notion of Vice President Gore as a divisive figure is a bit of a hoax, just like the people who are denying climate change. It’s a pre-frame, it’s a fabrication that suits those who want to keep the status quo. So if you have a prophet, if you have someone who has woken up to a particular challenge in the world and that person speaks, if that disrupts things, who is going to be and what are the voices going to be that say that person doesn’t have credibility? Those voices that don’t want that change … There are so many more voices clamoring to hear what he has to say that his right to speak and need to speak is more than made clear virtually every day.
YOUNG: Did you just refer to him as a prophet?
FOX: I think he is a prophet on climate change. I think he woke up to this issue in his earliest years, expected as other people learned about it that they would also wake up to its significance … His presumption as a young man was that once you heard the information the world would shift and start getting its act together, and that hasn’t happened.
There must have been an error in the transcript. Based on his history, we’re pretty sure Fox meant to say, “Al Gore expects to make a profit”, not that he is a prophet.

When will Obama perform the miracle of the multiplication of the jobs? He has already performed the multiplication of the debt, but it's not a miracle.
Gore a prophet? why not, the libs say Obama is a God.

No, we don't. That's a silly canard fed to you by Rush Limbaugh, in a childish attempt to belittle Obama's popularity.
And you had no better sense than to buy right into it---which says much more about you than it does about Obama OR his supporters.
Olivia. Perhaps you meant "No, I don't" rather than "No, we don't."
Allow me to relate an actual event from my own life. During the 2008 election and transition, I worked for a die-hard liberal. He was hard-core. Among his beliefs was an insistence that Ronald Reagan should have been tried for treason and executed.
Needless to say, the man was in love with Obama. On the day of Obama's inauguration, my boss made all the employees meet in a conference room to watch the festivities. During this event, the television commentator alluded to the Greek columns used for Obama's nomination speech. The commentator spoke derisively about those who thought it was unduly "worshipful."
On hearing this, my boss became animated and blurted out in a fit of rage, "People SHOULD pray to Obama. He's greater than Jesus." At that, I excused myself and left the room. I quit that job a short time later.
eeeeewwwww... nasty. Good for you!
This "messiah" worship is just getting ridiculous. Good for you for leaving, Lanny, although it couldnt have been easy to quit your job.
I believe you, Lanny.

Belittle his popularity? Laugh Out Loud. Democrats want to primary him in 2012! He belittles his own popularity. And once again, you pulled out the Rush Limbaugh hat trick. Your ammunition is insanely limited in your debates.
Are you sure? I saw a shop sign recently that read on the top banner "In Obama We Trust", as stupid as that is, seeing as that's where Federal Reserve Note is supposed to be. But it would seem that in fact, some people have replaced God on our currency with Obama.
Another Goracle story, As if anyone with a brain (Olivia??) cares what this bag of broken wind does, says or thinks. and if people are dumb enough to believe him, remember the stupid also followed Jim Jones, Adolph Hitler and a whole bunch of other loonies. If Gore wants to impress me, I suggest he load his pockets full of quarters, get a new pair of tennies shoes and take a long nap waiting for a ride on a comet.....

Translation: "I believe what the right wing media tells me, whether or not they're able to back it up scientifically, and whether or not I understand what they're talking about. Doesn't that make me smarter than someone who followed Jim Jones?"
What's REALLY stupid is to deny any POSSIBILITY of manmade global warming. And what's even stupider is to assume that someone who's worked (or is currently working) for the fossil fuel industry is going to tell you the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, on this issue. ;)
You people are such patsies for Big Business. You'll let them walk all over you, in the mistaken belief that they're the best qualified to dictate government policy. And, meanwhile, they keep on getting richer and more powerful, while you keep getting poorer and more vulnerable.....
Re-translation for you Olivia: “I believe what the left wing media tells me, whether or not they’re able to back it up scientifically, and whether or not I understand what they’re talking about. Doesn’t that make me smarter than someone who followed Jim Jones?”
What’s REALLY stupid is to accept the scam of manmade global warming. And what’s even stupider is to assume that someone who’s worked (or is currently working) for the government financed researchers is going to tell you the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, on this issue. ;)
You people are such patsies for Gore and the Cap N Scam. You’ll let them walk all over you, in the mistaken belief that they’re the best qualified to dictate government policy. And, meanwhile, they keep on getting richer and more powerful, while you keep getting poorer and more vulnerable…..
I'm still waiting for the lovely and talented Olivia to post a list of Glenn Beck's lies, complete with proof that they are untrue. Or did she just hear from MSNBC that Beck lies? Oh, I'm sorry, she doesn't have a TV. The DailyKos.
You and Kick are both in for LONG waits.
The NOAA announced in 2009 that the new worry is global cooling. So, please update your rhetoric.

Watch me.
That woman kept on going on about the voices she hears in her head -- at least she's man enough to admit it, unlike someone else we know that needs medication.
Any one Google "Climate Reality Project"? What a crock....how does one derail such total Bull Shxt?

Dear IHTM.com,
Please use this photo again in a story somewhere closer to Nov 2012. It will have a whole new meaning and finally we will all have hope in that change thingy.
The shadow is backwards and reminds me of the 3rd horseman of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The third horseman rides a black horse and is generally understood as Famine. The horseman carries a pair of balances or weighing scales, indicating the way that bread would have been weighed during a famine. The indicated price of grain is about ten times normal, with an entire day's wages (a denarius) buying enough wheat for only one person, or enough of the less nutritious barley for three, so that workers would struggle to feed their families.
Gives me a bad premonition of Gore and his cause.
"The shadow is backwards ..."
That's because the Prophet Gore-acle shines his own light.
Sheesh. I can't believe you didn't know that!
Whenever the Left says, anything, they really mean the opposite: their stupid self-serving AGW fantasy is a "Climate Reality Project", an effing flush of money down the toilet that cripples the economy is "Stimulus", etc, etc. Now I understand why they kept saying Obama was a genius.
It seems a little late and perhaps a little redundant to make a comment here; everybody that's posted so far has already said the good stuff and I would simply be repeating what's already been said. I didn't like Algore when he was VP and I can't stand him now. He was part and parcel of the most corrupt, treasonous, political machine in American history at the time he was in office, until this current corrupt, treasonos, political machine!
Albert Gore (snore) Jr is an idiot. The only profit he is about is his bank account. Just another do as I say not as I do progressive liberal lying bastard.
Bingo!
