Gore's "reality" speech
Although I didn’t see the actual speech, I did read the transcript and found it to be one of the best things Gore ever said. [1]
No wonder conservatives are beside themselves. “Unhinged” read the link on Drudge.
On Scarborough on MSNBC whenever the speech was on the words at the bottom read “Blame America First.” That seems to be the new mantra whenever there is strong criticism of Bush, it happened with Pelosi and now Gore and we can expect it again and again.
Rather than respond to anything in the speech, conservatives just says he’s “crazy.” That way they don’t have to deal with what he said, which they obviously found very disturbing.
In the New York Post, John Podhoretz set the tone for most the right’s take on the speech: “I was wrong. There is no way of knowing how he would have responded, because it is now clear that Al Gore is insane.”
“I don't mean that his policy ideas are insane, though many of them are. I mean that based on his behavior, conduct, mien and tone over the past two days, there is every reason to believe that Albert Gore Jr., desperately needs help. I think he needs medication, and I think that if he is already on medication, his doctors need to adjust it or change it entirely.” [2]
Is that the best they can do? Apparently. At least that way they get to ignore the substance of the speech.
