Al & Tipper Gore's new $9 million Villa
- Thread starter Facetious
- Start date
Whoops. I bet Al didn't want that to slip out. I would like to see more of these lib types exposed as the truly most hypocritical creatures on the face of the earth they are. He probably even has a whole staff of $5hr illegals to pamper him.
Meanwhile, my *** just donated another $100 to her church last Sunday (they actually do something good with it in the community), and the 401K ain't looking too good lately.
Fuck...

This is common behavior among liberal elites....

Unemployment is in double figures . . . the state is on the verge of bankruptcy . . . thousands have accepted employment offerings that are paying only a fraction of what they were earning just two years ago, and the enviro derivative master himself buys another castle.
Well, it is very green.
A big green lawn.
And lots of trees of bushes too. Probably an electric fence in there somwhere as well for any would-be perps. It would be nice to be stinking rich. It is funny though, I swear I've seen houses that size in the $2-4 mill range in Dellwood. What a fuckin a-hole Al is to splurge so flagrantly.
Oh for the love of Greg's smelly, hairy ass.
He made for himself a living. He was good at it. He married into money. How fucking dare he buy himself a big house? He's spending money he earned? What a liberal fuck up scrote faced douche bag.

I don't think it's the spending, but the fact that he made his money by warning the world against energy consumption and carbon emissions and he, by all accounts, contributes to the problem more than 99.99% of this planet's population.
He has a right to spend his money the way he sees fit and people have the right to call bullshit when they see blatant hypocrisy.
I'm not a huge fan of Gore, nor am I a fan of how he's now the face of 'climate change' when he's not a scientist or an expert in any sense of the word. This is partly of his own doing with the release of his "film" but it's also partly down to our and the media's own sense of need to put a face to a cause and his was the most popular one to put there at the time and it stuck. But this entire notion that he contributes to the problem more than the majority of the rest of the population is ludicrous. We really need to get over this sense of blame we feel the need to put on the people that are slightly more well off than we are. Do we (the 99.99% of the population you're talking about) not own the majority of the cars, purchase the majority of the flights in and out of the country each year, do we not also purchase the majority of the products and services created by the burning of fossil fuels? It would seem pretty obvious that we are. This should not be an us verses them issue and the sooner we get over this need to shift blame away from ourselves onto those we feel have it better than we do, the sooner this problem might be on its way to get solved.
Jesus man, I'm not saying the 99.99% of the world combined! Yeah, obviously Gore or any individual doesn't consume more than any combined majority. I'm speaking of the well documented usage of energy and carbon footprint compared to nearly all individuals.
And it's not "shifting blame." Nowhere in this thread is anybody "blaming" Gore for the problem. The criticism comes from him contributing to the problem more than most do, capitalizing on the problem and then doing nothing about it. And if you think chartering a private jet to give a $200,000 seminar at Tokyo University is doing something about it, then you're insane.
Al Gore might have been truly passionate about the planet at one point, but his game is making money at this point. He's not about leading by example or putting some of his millions into things like reforestation (you know, to negate the impact of his books) or any kind of positive programs. Hell, he won't even debate any aspect of climate change no matter how much potential good could come from it.
He's a huckster who knows where his bread is buttered and knows that college **** will shell out $90 to pretend he's a rock star so long as he rhetorically toes the line. Even if he doesn't live it. He's the Al Sharpton of the Green Movement. He found a real problem, hijacked it and became rich for doing so.
Exactly. I'm not a hater. Sam Walton is my idol (and Herb Brooks), but (gay) Al is just a fruit basket, through and through. Good for him, he made a boat load of money, but the guy just oozes sleaziness.
Meh. Most people dismiss him any way. Why else do you think he's never really in the public eye as much as he was. He's just another really rich white guy that Alicia Keys should watch out for if she wants to keep making her paychecks.
Al Gore comes from a wealthy tobacco ******. He served in the United States Military. He lost a ****** to lung cancer.
If he bought a tincan piece of **** double wide would that get a thread started about him?
The jealousy expressed toward him is nauseating. You can all "talk tough" and huff and puff but this purchase is nothing out of the ordinary for someone as wealthy as he is. It's nothing like what Republican CEOs buy and Republican Politicians buy.
Should we ask Al Gore how many houses he has? I seem to remember John McCain had trouble answering that question.
It's hilarious that conservatives are the new POOR PEOPLE in this country, screaming and raging about "what the other guy has"....:rofl:
Get a job conservatives and maybe someday you'll be able to buy a home like this one. Hilarious!

You could have fooled me, but no matter we'll move on. The ol' brain must not have been all the way on at that point.
My point as I believe I stated in the original post is that this is not an individualist problem. If the governments of the world (who really are the only ones who can curb this problem) aren't going to accept the problem to the extent that it actually is as they have been warned on numerous occasions and stop pussyfooting around the problem with promises of cuts and then failing to meet them then no one individual is going to make a difference. No one has that sort of power, not even Gore.
So what's all this leading by example nonsense? Just because he has becomes a major figure in the discussion of climate change he should be living out in the woods in a mud hut somewhere with every other climate change proponent? No, we as a society have elevated this person to this position and just like any figure we elevate to any level they are bound to feed off of the fruits of our own need - we also forget he was the one time vice president of the US which makes up for his public persona somewhat. The issue really shouldn't be the man or what he does in his spare time, it should be the message he's carrying. But no just like everything else the message gets negated by both sides because the person giving is too photogenic for their own good. What people fail to see is that none of this should be about Gore - but it's made to be by both sides of the argument because people really don't understand what climate change is, so they'd rather criticise the one time messenger because it obviously scores cheap political points.
He has made money off of his message, good for him. He's worked the capital people were willing to give him to his own advantage, isn't this what a good capitalist does? Until we see a change in policy or the US suddenly becomes an outright communist state, I really can't see how he or anyone else who capitalises off of a situation is going to stop. Yes it's reprehensible, but this is how our system works and until that or we change there's really nothing you or I can do about it. But I think I'll say it again because this really isn't the issue; this is in no way a problem for individuals. Those that put themselves forward to the public in order to carry the message do so because they want to further public understanding. But until the public find themselves in a position of understanding enough so that they can choose leaders that will do what needs to be done in order to revert the mess we're already in, we as this ********* obsessed culture will continue to follow those people who put themselves forward (either knowingly or not) because that's all we know how to do.
Should people listen to Gore's message, yes of course, for the most part he is correct. Should we hold him or anyone else up to this ridiculously high standard, definitely not. Not unless we're willing to look inward and do the same.
And too many bumfuck Americans aren't willing to look inward. They are "new to the internets" all of a sudden and love raging and sweating over someone else's life... and are too set in their Dorito-eatin' ways to actually take Global climate issues seriously.
