Gore Derangement Syndrome

In today's Times, Krugman asks the rhetorical question, "Why does the right wing hate Al Gore so much?"

Actually, the editorialist fails to distinguish between "the right wing" and the "right wing pundits and media." Hopefully there is a difference by now. In the collapse of the Bush administration, the right wing must contain some principled and reasoning Americans, splintered off from the mob in spite of the continuous propaganda of hatred and distortion that emanates from the corporate media and did so much to promote the Bush Administration and its failed policies.

So if science says that we have a big problem that can’t be solved with tax cuts or bombs — well, the science must be rejected, and the scientists must be slimed.


Aside from the fact that the mob from the church and the country club stood aside and cheered in 2000 when the corporate/military chiefs foisted BushCo onto the nation in spite of Gore's popular vote victory--in Florida, as well as in the nation as a whole--and BushCo has had a six year honeymoon with a pro-censorship, corporate controlled media that has slimed Gore at every opportunity--Gore continues to dwarf Bush in popularity, achievement, and world stature.
