(Note – visit this follow-up post for a link to Tennessee Center for Policy Research tax forms.) Did you honestly think that the Right Wing $mear machine was going to let Al Gore stand up with the terrific team who…

He does no such thing. The so-called offsets he buys are from “Generation Investment Management, a company he co-founded, and serves as chairman.”

“As co-founder and chairman of the firm … he “buys” his “carbon offsets” from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn’t buy “carbon offsets” through Generation Investment Management – he buys stocks.”

Al Gore may use a lot of electricity, but it is not the electricity coming from a coal burning power plant.

He gets his power from Nashville Electric Service. Do you have evidence that they sell any kind of power other than coal produced?

Try taking your own advice and do some research.

Second of all, if any of you had done your research, you would easily find that the Gore’s buy renewable energy to offset their carbon footprint. I know I am using some terms that may seem strange, but believe me they are real. Al Gore may use a lot of electricity, but it is not the electricity coming from a coal burning power plant. Any energy he receives that is not renewable, he purchases carbon credits to offset it.

Unlike all of you, he is actually trying to make a difference. It truly is an insult to all of you, and Americans in general that you can buy a story like this hook, line, and sinker. But if you prefer not to think for yourself, then by all means, continue down your blind path.

Pretty weak death throes gary. Demonstrate my hypocrisy please. Oh, you can’t. Sounds like you are conceding the argument gary.

I love it when hypocrites point a finger and cry “hypocrite!”

Gore also invests his own money in projects and programs to reduce global emissions and uses those investments to maintain a “carbon neutral” lifestyle even including all the travel he does for his book and his speeches. So, certainly more than the average public figure, Gore does indeed “walk the walk.” But ya’ll have your minds made up so why confuse yourselves with facts, right?

Oh, and that group that claims to have gotten Gore’s bill details from Nashville Electric Service?

“But company spokeswoman Laurie Parker said the utility never got a request from the policy center and never gave it any information.”

So much for the “Policy Research” folks “walking the walk.”

It’s hard to tell where the next real hypocrites are gonna come from . . . .

Just as the only folks who seemed to care that Pres. Klinton cheated on his wife were Conservatives, we’re the only ones who care that Gore is a hypocrite.

There are moral absolutes. If you say there are not, I ask you, are you ABSOLUTELY sure?

Your new name is Dominique Dawes…you are quite the gymnast.

We’re not talking about anyone else on any “side of the fence.” We are talking about a single blazing hypocrite.

Do tell gary, what are “environmentally responsible” people decreeing, er, asking of “people”…or do you mean “The People.”

As far as I can tell, the First Envirofascist Commandment:

“Thou shalt conserve.”

Al and Tip don’t have any children living at home, are on the road MANY more days of the year than the average American, yet still maintain an enormous mansion that they KNOW will burn a buttload more energy than any two people normally would…and do so at a 20-fold clip over normal people. They must really fire the place up when home to burn what they burn between the two of them.

I stand by “godz” as well. The mouth-foaming with which you defend Gore bespeaks something deeper than a position you simply hold. Sounds more like religious fanaticism.
