Portraying conservatives as oblivious Neanderthals has obviously ceased being an effective demonizing tactic in the left wing's war to advance liberal politics and causes. Even Al Gore has jumped on the trendoid insult band wagon, likening climate change skeptics — better know as "deenahrs" in Gorespeak — to racists in the pre-civil rights era during his revisionist childhood and adolescence.
From an 8/28/11 Daily Caller story by Caroline May citing an interview with former advertising executive and Climate Reality Project collaborator Alex Bogusky broadcast on UStream in which Gore said:
“I remember, again going back to my early years in the South, when the Civil Rights revolution was unfolding, there were two things that really made an impression on me. My generation watched Bull Connor turning the hose on civil rights demonstrators and we went, ‘Whoa! How gross and evil is that?’ My generation asked old people, ‘Explain to me again why it is okay to discriminate against people because their skin color is different?’ And when they couldn’t really answer that question with integrity, the change really started.”
Gore further recalled how society succeeded in marginalizing racists and called for climate change skeptics to be defeated in the same manner. But an inconvenient truth that Gore needs to be re-confronted with is that his father, Sen. Al Gore, Sr., was one of the solid bloc of Southern Democrats who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 back when Little Al was still in school.
So if the likes of Bull Connor were "gross and evil" then Al Gore the elder wasn't exactly what Junior might have called a racism deenahr. Either Al Junior never had the guts to marginalize his own father or he is reluctant to tell us about the double standard within his own home. For the record, it was Republicans who passed the Civil Rights Act championed by JFK and LBJ.
“Secondly, back to this phrase ‘win the conversation.’ There came a time when friends or people you work with or people you were in clubs with — you’re much younger than me so you didn’t have to go through this personally — but there came a time when racist comments would come up in the course of the conversation and in years past they were just natural. Then there came a time when people would say, ‘Hey, man why do you talk that way, I mean that is wrong. I don’t go for that so don’t talk that way around me. I just don’t believe that.’ That happened in millions of conversations and slowly the conversation was won. We have to win the conversation on climate."
Regarding the ridiculous equation of a "moral component" in the climate "conversation", keep in mind that not one global warming denier has ever attempted to forbid a climate change advocate from attending the school of his choice, sitting in any seat on a public bus, eating at any lunch counter or using any rest room.
Furthermore, it is exclusively deenahrs who hold the feet of hypocrites like Gore to the fire, pointing out that their carbon footprints are Sasquatch-like compared to the rest of us as a result of living large in oversized, energy-inefficient homes and traveling extensively on private jets and in SUV security caravans.
Even the sympathetic UStream interviewer questioned Gore's good-and-evil racism comparison. Gore stood his ground:
“I think it’s the same where the moral component is concerned and where the facts are concerned I think it is important to get that out there, absolutely...this is an organized effort to attack the reputation of the scientific community as a whole, to attack their integrity, and to slander them with the lie that they are making up the science in order to make money.”
But if you follow the money in the so-called climate change conversation it is fat cat Al Gore who has accumulated more wealth than any collective of "deenahrs" you can name. That's an inconvenient truth — gross and evil — that nobody can deny.
