Thanks to Scott Jacobs, I found this gem:
As depth of betrayal sinks in, followers of Al Gore feel confused and misled
By Ed Farnan | Posted on Friday, January 11, 2013 at 11:29 AM
Followers/True Believes of Mr. Gore, burn with religious fervor as they recite historic temperature variations & green house gas concentrations, proving the earth is headed towards certain destruction due to the burning of fossil fuels. We must repent now!
But all the while, Mr. Gore was making hundreds of millions from his “work” and many of the green movements/companies that get government funding, have Mr. Gore’s fingerprints on them somewhere.
But crushingly, Gore’s followers are starting to realize Mr. Gore’s feet are made of clay. He sold his failing “Current” cable-television station for about $500 million, which he personally gets 100 million, to the anti-American Al-Jazeera media company…which is owned by the fossil-fuel-rich royal family of Qatar.
Gore rushed to close the deal before the first of the year to avoid the very capital-gains tax hikes that he has advocated for others less well off.1
In one fell swoop Mr. Gore has enhanced a fossil-fuel consortium, attempted to beat tax hikes he has advocated that others should pay and empowered an anti-American/anti-Semitic media conglomerate.
More at the link. Mr Farnan continues to tell us about the shock and disappointment of the employees of Current TV. 
At some point, it has to be asked how the oh-so-idealistic sycophants of Mr Gore managed to miss all of the hypocrisy in his life before he sold Current to al-Jazeera. He had a house in Nashville that burned through kilowatts well in excess of anything reasonable, he bought a second house that burned through a lot of electricity — do you really need a fountain all day long, with the concomitant electric use? — and he tried to cover it up by buying “carbon credits” that he sold himself.2 He flies all around the world, telling people to reduce their carbon footprints, burning through tons and tons of jet fuel. If Mr Gore’s now-former employees were confused and mislead, it is because they were either hopelessly naïve, willing dupes, or just plain stupid.

- And now it turns out that Mr Gore is estimated to be wealthier than that oh-so-wickedly-wealthy Mitt Romney. ↩
- But it turns out he pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. The company was established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating “global warming,” reports blogger Bill Hobbs.
Generation Investment Management’s U.S. branch is headed by a former Gore staffer and fund-raiser, Peter S. Knight, who once was the target of probes by the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice. . . .
“In other words, he ‘buys’ his ‘carbon offsets’ from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself,” Hobbs writes. “To be blunt, Gore doesn’t buy ‘carbon offsets’ through Generation Investment Management – he buys stocks.” ↩
Oh, how the hypocrisy does abound. I wonder if Al Gore is “paying his fair share”? Somehow, I seriously doubt he is.
If you couldn’t see through the thin veneer of hypocricy of Algore then you were naïve, duped and/or an idiot.
I used to think Algore was just another leftist moron but it turns out he’s a fuckin’ genius. He’s well on his way to becoming a billionaire while his followers and supporters are looking for jobs and trying to feed their families.
In typical leftist fashion he got the votes of all the unions, teachers, lawyers, people on the dole, anti-capitalist crazies, globall warming nuts and the usual cabal of socialists/communists/progressives then quickly screwed them all.
Preaching glowball warming as he steps into his 28,000SF mansion (or his “smaller” 15,000SF second home), flies the globe in private jets, drives all over in gas guzzeling motorcades then selling out to the Oil Barons. Gotta love the size of his cajones. No doubt he’s firmly anti-gun as he and his family are guarded by…..men with guns.
He just confirmed what we all knew already; that the usless idiots on the left (the low-information voters) will follow any clown right down the shitter. They’re not naive, not dupes either. They are idiots, plain and simple.
He pulled it off. He screwed them all. And he got away with it. And I guarantee they’ll shake it off and continue to buy into these phonies and hypocrites they love so dearly.
Hoagie says:
Beautifully stated.
Just tell them that you love them and that their rice bowls will always be filled by someone else’s efforts, and they will follow you anywhere.
And remember, for the PerrGorian post modernist sort, reality and truth are defined by consensus. If we all just believe together, it becomes true! So libs, click those heels together and repeat … there’s no cost to home …. there’s no cost to home …
Can’t fault Al Gore. He swindled a bunch of Arabs into paying half a $bill for a TV “Network” that probably isn’t worth two nickels. Anyone actually SEE Current TV? It has production values that make an Ed Wood movie look like fuckin’ Avatar! Their chief on air “talent” was a nonentity called Cenk Ungyar, or something like that. Bill O’Reilly’s farts get higher ratings!
So boo hoo to the staff at Current TV. You’ve been fucked, hosed, screwed up the ass. Better learn to spesk Arabic if you want to keep your jobs.
Oh, I don’t fault Algore, Eric. He’s an evil genius. He scored big and while doing so pointed out the hypocracy and stupid emotionalism of his leftist followers. They are truely like children. Besides, how could I fault a guy who right before the leftists eyes became one of the biggest crony capitalists of all time, a 1%’er and a billionaire success story all while at an Occupy Wall Street event?
What I can’t believe is that anyone would pay a plugged nickel for Current TV. Just for grins, I channel surfed the local cable system, ranging from Channel 2 to Channel 300 and Current TV was nowhere to be found. I mean, how much more obscure can you get?
It’s also telling that the Leftists’ beloved Algorbasm would sell Courant TV to a group of people intent on the total genocide of all Jews and the total obliteration of Israel and its defenders.
And then there’s Fox Noise!!!
Gee, Perry, did you think of that one all by yourself??
Besides, FOX News has something Current TV never had – you know, viewers, ratings, on air talent that actually has talent, that sort of thing.
Yeah, but even worse, he sold it to a bunch of oil money. Al Gore, the self-proclaimed king, pope, and emperor og Global Warming profiteering off the black gold, the very stuff he’s been claiming is the scourge of the Earth.
Eric, that’s why Gore’s an evil genius. He duped them all, all those little Wagonwheel’s out there. And all WW can respond with is “Fox Noise”. It’s so cute it’s pathetic.
