Video: Coulter on Gore: “he may be a hypocrite but at least he’s not a moron”

posted at 1:02 pm on February 27, 2007 by Ian


Ann Coulter along with environmental whackivists Daryl Hannah and Jon Coifman appeared on Hannity & Colmes last night to discuss Algore’s enormous energy bill.

Coulter laid out Gore in this gem:

Coulter: “I kind of respect him more, it shows he is not stupid enough to believe all this global warming nonsense. He’s trying to get us to believe. Okay, fine, he may be a hypocrite but at least he’s not a moron.”

Al Gore’s office sent a response to “Think” Progress using the same rhetoric they used last time:

1) Gore’s family has taken numerous steps to reduce the carbon footprint of their private residence, including signing up for 100 percent green power through Green Power Switch, installing solar panels, and using compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy saving technology.

2) Gore has had a consistent position of purchasing carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint — a concept the right-wing fails to understand. Gore’s office explains:

What Mr. Gore has asked is that every family calculate their carbon footprint and try to reduce it as much as possible. Once they have done so, he then advocates that they purchase offsets, as the Gore’s do, to bring their footprint down to zero.

These people obviously don’t get the point — or refuse to acknowledge it. The problem isn’t so much as Gore’s consumption of energy, but that he asks us common folk to live a modest lifestyle while he’s living it up. Hypocrite indeed.

Like Hannity said, these “carbon offsets” are nothing but a farce. These “carbon offsets” are nothing more than indulgences in the Church of Liberalism.

Update (AP): “If we’re looking at gondolas floating down Wall Street in 20 years, what good does it do to plant some trees?”

You were defeated. It shows. A poor argument beat you senseless. Feelings trump freedom. Just like abortion, the woman’s feelings trump the right to life of the child. There is nothing more to it. And you were defeated by it. What a winner you are!

No the problem was as an opponent of gay marriage I didn’t have facts, reason, logic, the Constitution or basic human decency on my side so the deck was stacked against me from the beginning of the argument. The difference between you and me is I’m smart enough to know when I’m beaten, to reevaluate the climb out of the hole. You’re either not smart enough to realize you’ve lost, or your solution is to get out your shovel and dig your hole a little deeper.

There is no RIGHT to marriage. Marriage is a privilege with respect to the state. The only aspect of it that is a right is that it is a ceremony of religious faithful.

The courts disagree.

My labor is the insurance policy on which the cost of their aberrant behavior is placed.

Even if we accept your terminology the costs you claim are there in respect to gay marriage don’t really exist.

Thus, increasing their numbers through incentives (privilege) increases the burden on my labor.

No, the costs don’t exist.

It is not a call to freedom you are making. It is a call to slavery.

No, the costs don’t exist.

Enslavement of the virtuous in service to the miscreants. Enslavement of those who abstain from aberrant behaviors in service to those who practice degenerate and debauched behaviors.

No, the costs don’t exist. This is what happens when you base your argument on something you’ve just made up that isn’t true.

You have not given any argument to prove that they are not and will not be an added burden on my labor.

I must prove a negative? *eyeroll* For as much as you like to argue you would think you would be better at it.

By giving them privilege, you incentivize more of them, and thus increase the burden on my labor.

No, the costs don’t exist.

I am not their slave and I refuse to be their slave.

No, the costs don’t exist.

You may freely grant yourself to them if you choose, freely adopt yourself a couple dozen gay couples and insure their life with your labor if you so choose to do so. Leave my labor to my chosen charitable causes.

Quit while you’re only this far behind.
