Al Gore Likens Obama to Lincoln

"The experience Lincoln's supporters valued most ... was his powerful ability to inspire hope in the future at a time of impasse. In 2008, once again, we find ourselves at the end of an era with a mandate from history to launch another new beginning."

And we liken Al Gore to a bumbling bufoon who couldn’t even win his own state. Day by day, in circles outside of the bootlickers that shill for this bozo, he is becoming more and more irrelevent and an embarassment to all.

Springfield is the only thing they have in common.

Lincoln has a blemished record of following the ideal of free government in his political life, as when he issued on May 18, 1864, the following order: “You will take possession by military force of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce … and prohibit any further publication thereof…. You are therefore commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison … the editors, proprietors and publishers of the aforementioned newspapers.”

Marxism Anyone?

He ought to be forced to pay a carbon tax on the hot air coming out of his mouth.

Or have I heard that one already? I can’t remember.

Albert Gore, even with half my brain blown out by that ACTOR Booth, I’m twice as smart as you. Obama isn’t fit to carry out my chamber-pot, let alone be President of the United States!

A Lincoln?! I think Obama is more like a Chevy, or maybe a Buick, but not a Lincoln.

Logic Lee   August 29th, 2008 - 6:04 pm

The great prophet has spoken. Don’t you love it when someone says so and so is the next whomever. Only people with inflated egos think they can predict whom history will deem great.

The irony of it all is that had Gore been alive in Lincoln’s day he probably would have not liked Lincoln at all and would have charged him with getting us into an uneccessary war and destroying the country.

I knew Abe Lincoln….
I partied with Abe Lincoln….
I trusted Abe Lincoln….

Abe was a close friend…

Trust me…Obama, you are no Abe Lincoln

Al you are such a pitiful puke of a loser. Shut your ignorant pie hole and go back to your hypocritical anti enviorment lifestyle.

Bill Chicago   August 29th, 2008 - 8:25 pm

Obama is like Abe Lincoln in one regard. He had a nutcase for a wife too.

Obama08   August 29th, 2008 - 8:59 pm

I like to think of Obama as a mix between Jesus Christ / Ghandi / Tom Brady / and Mother Theresa.

And Maybe throw in a little bit of Martin Luther King Jr., just to add a little spice.

/sarcasm off

BULLWINKLE OBAMA   August 29th, 2008 - 9:12 pm

Obama is a rotten dead stinky gooey corpse that died 143 years ago ???

OK, Obama is Lincoln then.

Bobo   August 29th, 2008 - 11:21 pm

Not that NOBODY has mentioned the fact that Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN. Actually Lincoln started as a Whig, but as the Whigs evolved into the Republican Party, Lincoln did so as well.

Don’tcha just LOVE how a Democrat wants to make a positive comparison between Barack Obama and Abe Lincoln? You’d think a Democrat would try to find someone within their own philosophical base, but aparently that’s not possible.

LA Dude   August 29th, 2008 - 11:52 pm

Boy, he almost gave a good speach there…until the idiot, self-serving moron had to slip “an inconvinient truth” into there. What an utter, total Jackass.
But, I agree with his analogy of Loncoln/Obama, both had little experince. Thank God it is not Gore going for it again.

kevin   August 30th, 2008 - 12:27 am

The hot air Al Gore spews must be increasing his global warming by several degrees!

If memory serves me right, Obama’s father had 4 different ‘wives’ and sets of children. Obama has 8 stepsiblings, including the one recently interviewed living in the slum in Nairobi. If black Americans so proud of their African heritage would take a look at how Obama treats his relatives there, they might not be so eager to embrace him. Then again, it looks like no matter what he does, it’s going to be overlooked.

What our US media ought to get hold of and make public about Obama is his relationship to Railia Odinga, the Prime Minister of Kenya (He claims to be Obama’s cousin.) Obama campaigned for him a few times in Kenya in 2006 when he was running for president. This man is behind the violence earlier this year, 2008, in Kenya which came within an inch of being a civil war and/or genocide. Such corruption and mass hired murder we haven’t seen since Rwanda in 1994. I read in Kenya papers that Obama had invited this man to the Democratic Convention to see him accept the nomination. Whether or not he attended, I don’t know yet. But I do know that there is more about Obama and his connections and family in Kenya that our American media ought to be looking into and making public.

If Obama was anything like Lincoln he’d be fighting to recognize the personhood and defend the lives of the unborn, as Lincoln (a Republican) did with African-American slaves.

Obama is on the wrong side of the most important moral battle of our day, the moral battle that most resembles the one Lincoln faced. He’s nothing like Lincoln.

Obama Lust-Fest   August 30th, 2008 - 5:46 pm

PPPLLLEEEEEEAASSSSEEEEEE. Let’s stop the Obama lust-fest. Everyone said his “race” speach would go down in history, next to “I Have a Dream.”

Now it’s filed in the circular folder never to be retrieved again.

All the liberals and the liberal media are one huge lust-fest orgy over this guy.
