Do you admire Al Gore? Want to lend him a hand (quick & easy)?
Draftgore.com has an ad on youtube that is being attacked by...well...you know the clowns who attack Gore's message.

It only takes a second to give a thumbsdown on their idiotic statements, thumbsup supporters like us, or make a comment of your own.

This will probably be the quickest and easiest thing that you can do to help Al Gore.

Please kick this thread so more people will jump in to help. TIA.

2. I didn't ask you to support him for president...
I asked people to help with the comment section on youtube because of the global change deniers are over there yucking it up.

Don't want to help? Fine, but please stand aside.

23. I thought it was funny as hell
He needs to reiterate--continually--that he's not running for office, to stop all these rumors about his candidacy. By playing games, he's just making things worse for the candidates who are running for the Presidency.

7. Yeah, this comment is all about a presidential candidacy:
Ice caps melting on Mars! It's true! The sun has cycles and warmer periods! Evidence is all over the fossil record.

Plants use CO2 for food! Want to get rid of CO2 in the atmosphere? Plant more trees!

Gore wants to implement a GLOBAL CARBON TAX. Who will implement it? The U.N.
Which scientists are used in the legitimizing of global warming? The U.N.

Fight Global Warming...Plant a tree, not a seed of Fabian Socialism.




When I posted this thread that comment had 3 thumbs up. Like I said, if you don't care then fine, but step aside for those who do.

6. Thank you
It's repulsive to see what is being said over there about climate change in general, and how many thumbsdown there are to positive responses to the video. I tend to think that the oil industry professional trolls are earning their keep.

11. Here is an opportunity
to actually make a difference. Whether you would have Al Gore as your president or not, standing behind him and his work on the climate crisis should be a no brainer for Democrats, imo.

Thanks for the link. I'll be more than happy to give a thumbs up (and more).

17. I wish people would stop, look and listen to what this man is accomplishing each day he speaks out
on what should be seen as very important issues for humanity world wide, though I would love to see him run, I am not so sure he could single handily stop the madness that has invaded our government, there are many good men and women ready and able to fight for the people, why can't we focus on those that state they wish to be a candidate and just support people like Gore who are doing what they can, there are many issues needing fires lit underneath them, one man nor woman is strong enough to do it all, can't we stand behind him and quit acting like bratty little kids throwing tantrums because of some strange reasonings that have left too many forgetting that there are many others working and what they need to win is simply us the people to stand behind them and quit whining about what is not being done and instead help get it done?

I've given some thumbs up and some thumbs down. There are some real idiots out there. Especially that moron who made the "Dumb and Dumber" comment.

21. I'm constantly amazed by the idiocy I see over there
It's even worse on the music videos. Homophobes, xenophobes, and racists are rampant. It really makes me appreciate Skinner and DU even more than I did before.

That's what was so weird about the comment section in this video. My experience has been on political threads on youtube that an occasional freeper may wonder in, but gets batted down and they don't usually make a stand. When I first saw the infestation of that thread and gave thumbs downs to idiotic remarks, just that quick someone had come along to undo what I had done. I really tend to think that this was targeted by professional trolls.

22. Spend an hour on youtube and you appreciate DU for the haven it is
The Gore video did seem to be holding up last I checked on it. I think the reason it's drawing more attention than most political videos there is due to the RW (freeper) fear that he might actually run.

Any Grassroots candidate, such as Gore would be, scares them to death.

25. This doesn't help him, it hurts him,
Edited on Sat Nov-03-07 06:06 PM by RestoreGore
But it's amazing that when asked to defend his WORK amd movie, no one but ONE person from this site went there to do so. What a bunch of BS, sitting all day on You Tube fighting over something he isn't even involved with while his important work is completely ignored. I say, if you don't want him trashed respect his words and stop harrassing him. It does NOTHING to further what we should be doing to join with him and help him now and only hurts him. How many of you were actually out today taking part in Step It Up as his last e-mail asked to get people to help solve this climate crisis? Or isn't that important enough? You think he would be impressed by this? I don't. Give me something IMPORTANT to defend like the work he is doing, and I'm there. What a waste of time and money. Between that ad that looks like something Bush would put out, and that NY Times ad, over 115 THOUSAND dollars that could have gone to help his organizations, or plant trees, or feed hungry children in Darfur was WASTED on this politcal contest rhetoric.
