Former Vice President Al Gore and other campaigners against climate change lead experts' choices for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, an award once reserved for statesmen, peacemakers and human rights activists.

If a campaigner against global warming carries off the high world accolade later this month, it will accentuate a shift to reward work outside traditional peacekeeping and reinforce the link between peace and the environment.

Kissinger got a Nobel prise for Peace in the Middle East. Need I say more? Give the prise to someone in Burma who is standing up for human rights, like the monks who are dying for their fellow man.

Arafat got a Peace Prize, too. Makes sense then, that they would give it to an environment hustler for "carbon off-sets."

Now Now, don't be a hater. Al won't run for President anyway. He's got a good thing going. Film awards, rubbing elbows with the stars, money pouring in hand over foot. When he can preach to the ignorant masses and do the opposite, why would he give up his money train and scam. Nothing personal against Al, but you know the old saying, absolute power corrupts absolutely. There isn't a single weasel in congress or the administration that isn't corrupt. Open your eyes and follow the money!

I have no doubt Michael Moore will be nominated for a Nobel prize in the future.

Doesn't matter why. An agenda is an agenda.

Yay albore, YOU may have already won! 1st
prize, the 'dynamite guy' award!

If Al Gore and Teddy Kennedy teamed up to
travel the world in a hot-air balloon, they
wouldn't need a propane heater, just a supply
of old speeches...

I think anyone who makes a movie about an environmental hysteria which began over 100 years ago deserves a Nobel prize.

I am making a movie about global cooling and have amble evidence for such claim (canadafreepress.com/2007/globalwarming020507) and expect my nomination forthwith as I am already working on my acceptance speech.

No one reads your posts so I wouldn't bother with a movie.

Wow. Wouldn't that be the ultimate karmic smackdown to all those neocons who SWEAR that it's all a commie liberal plot to make Al a zillionaire so he can pay his astronomical light bill?

Gore and Cloutier might win, but the article ends by saying that the person interviewed says that someone else deserves it more - the Finnish President.

Kitty, truer words were never spoken. It has always been "all in together boys" and no difference because of party. The devious one of them all is that ever lovin aw shucks guy- Papa Bush! NAFTA is a storm that is being let out of the clouds gradually. We ain't seen nothing yet.

Gore did the smack down of Ross Perot for Big Dog Bill Clinton on NAFTA. That hit was the unkindest cut. The inconvenient truth is that Gore and Clinton paved the way for the BushCo coup which relied on the trade agreements these men put into effect.

I'm glad that Gore is aware of climate change. Why wasn't he shouting from the rooftops back when he had the megaphone? Again, it was politically inconvenient.

Gore should have stood up to Bush on a mano a' mano basis in the campaign and a few votes wouldn't have mattered. Perot was right, the government sold out the People in NAFTA. Can Gore shout that out? One issue is connected to the other. With the Freetrade nazis we will guarantee more climate change.

Anyone want an autographed photo of Bill?

infideltexan,
Your statement that "Rush is nominated as well" while true, is about the single most absurd nomination in the history of the Nobel prizes. Evidence Rush's "nominator" and their opinion of him:

"Not to be outdone, the Landmark Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm "fighting for conservative principles in America," submitted a nomination for its own candidate " someone, the group"s president, Mark R. Levin, said, whose "tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin," deserves to be recognized: Rush Limbaugh." Does it get amy more ridiculous than that? Ever?

Who on this planet associates Mr. Limburger with the promotion of "liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin"? Honestly, not a soul.

He has as much chance of winning as he does of not addicting himself to Hillbilly Heroin.

Draftgore.com....sign up and maybe.....This has nothing to do with the thread but may be of interest. I saw Jenniffer Weigel,the daughter of Tim Weigel(a famous sportscaster in Chicago who died in 2001 at age 56 before his time).She was on a PBS station being interviewed by Phil Ponce, for a book she authored.Phil showed a picture of the Yale Rugby team and Her dad was at top right in the photo,top center was none other than George Bush.Tim related to his daughter that when introduced George asked Tim"What's your daddy do",Tims daughter related how her dad told her nobody on the team liked George.Tim was loved by all Chicagoans and had a firm grasp on the truth.
