Principled Stands by Al Gore

That's right Right-Wingers one of your favorites has done more to live his principles than the right will ever admit. It would be too much for them to handle. Cognitive Dissonance and all that you know.

Check out Gore's latest principled stand on supporting hardliners in South America:

Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, facing allegations that he supported right-wing death squads, said former U.S. Vice President Al Gore pulled out of a conference on Friday where the two were scheduled to speak.

Uribe said Gore's office contacted him to say he would not attend the conference in Miami because of the scandal in which eight members of Uribe's congressional coalition are in jail awaiting trial for backing drug-running paramilitaries.

The cocaine-funded militias, branded terrorists by Washington, have massacred thousands of Colombians in the name of fighting left-wing rebels.

Finally an American politician who isn't so interested in supporting the hard-right in Colombia who are responsible for the deaths of so many innocents as the "communists" they are supposed to be fighting. This is not just a stand against the indiscrimanate deaths of innocents, but also how America has been funneling money to the hard-right conservatives in Colombian government.

Finally, the right was soooo quick to point out that Gore's high use of electricity makes him a hypocrite, though all it means is he works from his house. Now he's putting his work further into action by installing solar panels in his house. Looks either the right went on this attack too soon and now they won't be able to even use the hypocrite argument for on the climate change issue or they simply are full of shit. I might opt for the latter.
