The problem with your post is, your hate came through BEFORE you denounced the attack-yes this was an attack. It's that sort of thinking that festers the action of this lunatic. If there was less vile speech and a little more constructive dialog, we might not be in the mess we are. Neither side is 100% right or wrong.

Ah the haters. Nobody is right but them. Nobody has a right to an opinion but them. Sheep of tpug origin. The article is about a scumbag criminal sending powder in a letter to threaten a citizen and these hate filled liars can't even speak to the subject. Maybe birds of a feather?

it is mockery, ridicule, derision perhaps, but not 'hate', too many people want to classify opposing views as 'hater', get over it, Al says one thing but personally does the opposite, why don't you get that???

golfer:

So, the game of the day is to tee off with what may or may not be a legimate terrorist attack, on anyone we don't agree with?

My oh my, what is this country coming to?

I would suggest that we can disagree with anyone's opinion without some attempt to "qualify" others supposed indifference to the approach some terrorist may use to make their point. Sad, just sad.

all you rightwingers can't stand Gore, Huh? A man who may or may not be right about global warming, at least he is championing a cause that is decent. I mean, keep the environment clean? Stop pollution? Stop dependence on big foreign oil? Oh yes, those are TERRIBLE things to be against!

But not as bad as starting a phony war in Iraq which costs 4000 american lives, destroying our once surplus economy and appointing complete rockheads to the supreme court....you are somehow able to live with all that, no problem? Where are your priorities? What are you ridiculing Al Gore for exactly?

Darrell; are you really that far behind the learning curve? The majority of your ilk did the minimum amount of research and found that the likes of Al Gore are why you have FREE Internet Web sites. Educate your self on the role Gore played...before you look any more foolish.

Left-wingers don't even pay attention to Gore anymore - so why are so many Right-wingers still stuck in the bog? Some of the stuff attackers hold on to does more harm to their perceived cause than good. So what "good" does all the hate speech produce? I enjoyed my (us libs) turn to make fun of Bush - but, that's all it was, I knew not to take myself seriously...sending letters and power is taking your self way too serious.

Why does he need an office? So he has a place to protect himself from nut-cases like you and the one that sent the letter.

You still cannot get over that Bush was selected and not elected.

Al Gore proved one thing again, intelligence is a handicap when running for office.

Frankly True,

Be careful about that intelligence being a handicap when running for office...Obama is still running for office...just saying some people may connect the dots.

How gutless some of you are. Can't suggest the guy is a huckster or a con man (which he is) without getting collapsed (how that violates the Code of Honor is beyond me) or called a hater, and yet all of the time people here wish death and destruction on everyone anywhere to the right of center, and call them all Teatards, Rethuglicans, and the like, and I guess that uplifts the dialogue in your minds. Since Gore says his heart is in the right place, then that's all it takes for you, his good intentions. He was too dumb even to campaign in his own home state or listen to the advice of anyone who knew what they were doing, and if he had he'd have been President and we could've have seen him launched the Indictment against Terror after 9/11.

And, it's very cruel of you to suggest that anyone who flunked out of Vanderbilt Divinity School was ever possessed of real intelligence.

Rlquall: Ya know, I despise Al Gore and his lies and hypocrisy, but even as much as I loathe him, I don't wish any harm to come upon him, any of his staff, or anyone associated with him.

But, by the same token, I also wish to be able to publicly and openly display my disdain and contempt for him without threat of retribution. He is a public figure, and as such, if one chooses that path, then you can't be a thin-skinned, hyper-sensitive cry baby every time someone says they hate your guts. I can hate his guts completely, and yet also fully support every means necessary to prevent some lunatic that might wish him, or his staff, some kind of harm. That's not the way to get things accomplished.

Or, you can take the position of the left, and claim you don't hate, while supporting a movie portraying the assassination of George Bush. Those are the kinds of tactics the left loves to use.

Have no fear, the useless sellout glory whores at the FBI are here! Hey, that rhymes!

I think it was because he invented the internet!

Hey man, remember, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have the internet to bitch about him with!!! (said with a sarcastic slant of conservative humor!) Libs can't take the truth can they? Oh lucas you're right only about one thing; we right wingers can't stand liberals...period! Al Gore included and especially Obummer and his Marxist cronies of his administration!

The FBI is all like "Ooh a famous person, quick drop all other cases! Yo Gore, I got you dog! We gotta protect celebrities!"

Not to mention the 44 cents the stamp costs.

Ahem..it's been 45 cents for awhile now. :-/

FamousAmos: Okay, I stand corrected. It's "45" cents. The last roll I bought was the "forever" stamps. There is no monetary denomination listed on it, and I really didn't pay that much attention as to whether I paid 44 or 45 dollars for the roll.

But to point out the one cent difference of the amount of the stamp is to miss the point of the post completely anyway.

If you want mature judgement, check the day room at an assisted living center. As for me, to paraphrase Shakespeare, "I come to embarass Caesar, not to appraise him".

Sounds like a classic case of Obama Doctrine. Brainwashed beyond help. Waterboarded to Death

@sammy72746 Failed attempt at projection!!

Sounds like a classic case of GOP Doctrine. Brainwashed beyond help(denying scientific facts). Waterboarded to Death(believe like us or will make laws to force you to). LMFAO!!! NOW THAT"S FUNNY!!!

Oh, C'mon, Fred!

TWO wrongs don't make a Right...they make a Democrat!

By the way, I do NOT agre with, nor even like anything about Al Gore, but whoever did this is the lowest scum and needs to be prosecuted to the FULL extent of the law!

Oh, we BELIEVE in global warming, it's the methane from the Lefties, those who are soooo full of hot air.

Pro-Abortion would be the proper term for you, and Pro-Life is the proper term for us. Of course, you probably couldn't spell something that complicated.

If you are truly a vet, thank you for your service to our country! I mean that sincerely, sir!

Randy: Do you think it possible that there are some Vets out there that may not be "Righties"???

Think about it prior to pilloring people's comments. Say thanks if that is what you mean. But, perhaps consider doing it before you chastise them for their belief.

With all due respect. Live long my friend and give credit, regardless political leaning, to those due. They are the ones that ensured and continue to ensure that we can debate and have different opinions, hopefully in a rational, non threatening way.

That's exactly what I did! I respect his service to our nation, but I also have the same right to insult him as he does to insult us wingnuts.

Yes, I know Vets on the Left, and if they insult me, they usually have the cojones to receive my insults right back.

If you truly feel he needs defending, please keep it up! You've already shown some ignorance by not understanding what I wrote earlier. I make NO apologies for my leanings. I asked NO apology from him or you. HOWEVER, if in your first sentence to me, you insult me, be man enough to take it.

BTW, somehow, I don't really think Mike the vet needed you to speak for him. He sounds like he's got enough backbone to speak for himself.

And Mike, if I souinded threatening in ANY WAY, I will apologize now.

I just don't believe that speaking my mind is a threatening thing unless 4th down considers opposing views to be a threatening thing. Again, thanks for your service to our country!

all you do gooders who believe in global warming are just too damn stupid to realize that the earth is just going through its natural stages...its called...the way of nature...

Yes Randy I am a Vet and I take no offence at your comments I apologise if I in anyway offended you some times people who hide and use things like the mail to terrorise piss me off.

Randy perhaps you should consider not insulting people but engaging in civil dialogue instead. That would make a better America. Insults will not.

Wow, Frankly, how does that jibe with calling me a "hater" for suggesting Al Gore was a hypocrite?

Ya see Randy Marble Head,TX truth is you live in a state that suffered water shortages because of prolonged drought and some of the highest temps ever even for TX and you want to crack jokes about it but the joke is on you! You haven't seen nothing yet and you and your wise cracking mouth and your state may dry up and blow away and then you will be cracking out your butt. Also your wrong about pro choice ya see in your world you dictate to others how they should make choices and then claim religious authority, that's called a theocracy. In the real world off pro choice you get to make personal decisions for yourself and it's nobodies business, that's called a democracy. My finale point is there are conservatives in the USA that don't get on their knees and beg for GOP white sauce(lies) to be squirted in their mouth like you and they know global warming is taking place and they are pro choice so get off you knees and wipe your chin and get your stomach pumped. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!! LMFAO!!!

spacedude -- bet you're not "pro-choice" when it comes to light bulbs, are you?

Not believing in global warming is certainly ok. Be clear, though, that one need not be a big fan of Al Gore ( who was a reliable supporter of the military-industrial complex throughout his legislative career ) to believe in human impact on the climate. I mean, look around you; everywhere we see the impact on earth of man's activities. Why should the attributes of things not as readily visible ( like climate ) be any different?

tn4ever, sounds like your moral values need a face lift. You're pretty quick with your own brand of hatred, unfounded and uncalled for. But hey, keep talking! I love the sound of liberals squealing as they stew in their own natural ignorance.

tn4ever, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of LBJ. I've alreqady expressed my opinion of the scum sucker that would send the powder in the mail. The sad fact is JFK was closer to what Republicans are, nowadays, than Mitt is. Al Gore's global warming myth is a joke, but not this, not this.

Palin who?

tn4ever: Don't have any idea of which Tenn. Republicans you are speaking of. Never heard any of them say that young Kernell needed 50 years, just something, which he got. He's actually a bright kid, and was nice when I met him in his early teens; his father was my mother-in-law's state rep (and still is one, but she is now deceased). I think that he can still really amount to something if he sets his sights on it, and I hope that he does. He could well have wound up doing more for mankind in the next half-century than the Gores ever did in the last one.

Luiz that would be:

"there ARE no global warming companies"

A reference to Al's businesses selling "carbon offsets" maybe? Are those "global warming companies"? Other than that, if we buy into the premise, then I guess all companies contribute to global warming just by doing business, don't they?

Its been this way since america got rid of the king, Jefferson and Washington were fighting over Jefferson starting a second party. which Washinton called Insane. Seems one of Jeffersons opponents came up with a scandal plan to ruin Jefferson. After some money changed hands. the man sent HIS WIFE to get Jefferson in bed, And then a gang of Jeffersons oppoonents..along with a few news paper reporters busted into the bedroom and caught Jefferson with a MARRIED WOMAN.. Which backfired because his opponents didnt want the wife and husbands name mentioned in the news papers. LOL Same thing with Clinton,,after wasting 60 million of tax payers money to impeach Clinton. Word got out that BRIBES had been paid to Arkansas state troopers to LIE about hauling women up to a motel to meet Clinton..When it came time to vote him out of office,,The first hint came from Repub Senator Fred Thompson. Quoting Sen Thompson, I will not vote guilty, If we vote guilty,, The Supreme Court will look deep into this investigation and call us idiots and issue warrants for the Chief investigator. A first year law student can look at the CRIMINAL ACTS that were done to gather this information..........These facts are in the Senate records in case anyone denies it. Same thing probably happened against Nixon, bigger crimes done while gathering onformation. same as cut spending,,just dont cut my pork out, Its a nasty dirty business,, we call BRIBERY just campain contributions EXCEPT when the same thing happens in a foreign country.,, Then we call it Bribery. OR abortion is murder but supporting war with bombs killing innocent women and children is Patriotic. ahh but I would be bored if I didnt keep up with politics,,If I didnt keep up with politics, why bother to even vote

Sen. Thompson voted to convict on one charge, but not the other.

Washington didn't see himself as being part of any party and felt himself to be above party. Some historians link him with the Federalists since he was invaluable for his role in drafting the Constitution and had several Federalists, notably Hamilton, in his inner circle. Despite being in the original Cabinet together, Jefferson hated Hamilton's guts -- it was mutual -- and would have done almost anything to have stopped him and vice versa (except that when it came down to Burr v. Jefferson, Hamilton had to draw a line which wound up eventually costing him his life).

Ohhhkaayyy...I guess there was a point there...thanks for the historical perswpective, however incomplete it was.

Houston left Nashville, and the governorship of Tennessee, in disgrace, the only person ever to have resigned the governorship of Tennessee for any reason other than to accept appointment to the U.S. Senate. Historians have been divided over why. Some say that it was because he found his new wife, whom he had married shortly after being elected governor, not to have been a virgin and/or still in love with a prior suitor; others in more recent times have suggested he was impotent or homosexual and hence incapable of consumating the marriage and unable to live with the implications of that. Her father was a very wealthy and influential man (which made his beautiful daughter a seemingly good candidate for the governor's affections to begin with) and so he took off. Whether tn4life's story of Old Hickory's involvement, another rumor, has any basis in truth is debated. Houston went to love among the Indians, who called him "The Raven". It didn't seem very likely that he would become the president of a new country, or the first and so far only man ever to have been governor of two different states, at the time of these events. While this is very peripheral to the topic at hand, I thought that this needed to be straightened up as best it could be.

Herbert would you be laughing if your kid opened an envelope with a threatening letter and 'white powder'

As I said before, it's the clerical help I feel for. They were the Unabomber's main victims as well. People like that are so twisted that they can justify anything they do for "the cause" in their own minds, because of their narcissism.

AMEN!
