I have to say that all these bleeding heart billionaires and Hollywood elite could payoff all the deficit,help feed all the USA's hungry and help the struggling farmers and probably fund all the kids that are too poor to go to college with their money that they soaked off of us "average" people..now Al Gore (Mr. Inconvenient Truth) is rewarding himself with a so -well-deserved mansion..AHH,how sweet it is.I don't like to play the lib Vs.conserv..but THIS is really disgusting to hear..we love our average home in an average neighborhood and hope we can continue to keep our jobs to stay in it as well as try to make it AS GREEN AS POSSIBLE..and here is this EGO Bloated blowhard being the biggest hypocrite ever..I'm sure Rush Limbaugh is not well liked by the left because of his self confidence,but Al Gore the Global Warming Wh-re is right up there and worse..

Great comment. Obama asks, when is enough enough with money. This is enough. As for Rush, they hate him because he exposes them for the lying, non-transparent, ego-maniacal, anti-American-pro-them bas- ards they are.

I believe in GLOBAL WARMING it has happen before and will happen again.
I also believe in ICE AGES they have happened before and will likely happen again.
I don't believe it was my fault. I do believe that there are many WARMIST that are making big bucks of of the SHEEPLE that think we are going to cause the end of the world. Even if we tried too even if every nuke on the planet went off at the same time that couldn't kill the planet. Sure it would take out most life but not all and in time the the planet would be inhabited again. Wait didn't that kind of happen to the dinosaurs ?????

Hopeful43 May 1st 2010 8:40AM

Oh, and may I add he picked a nearby ocean view which means his pretty mansion may be swallowed up by rising sea levels within 20 or so years if his global warming theory is correct??? DUHHHHH!!!

Al Gore, known in Spain for his gases. Keep on going you liberal followers, they are buying mansions, eating luxuriously, having lavish parties and wasting gas, electricity, etc . Poor fools, they dont realized they are helping to create the NEW CLASS, ie. Feudal Lords, and you will never have the chance to come up even to their ankles. Under capitalism there is always hope that you can make it, .....under these traitors, you will live under their boot. Silly gooses, kool aid drinkers, you are taking this country down. With a president constantly galavanting thru the US. The only thing he likes to do besides lying is campaigning constantly.

Jerry May 1st 2010 8:45AM

What a fraud this man is. Wake up America, global warming is about nothing more than power and money. Take back our Country in November. Vote the Constitutional candidate. "The planet has a fever" crowd should wake up and recognize that the fever is from a virus, named Al Gore and his progressive friends.

Several weeks back, I learned that The University of Tennessee was going to present Al Gore with an "Honorary Degree" I did not believe that this type of a-- kissing was possible from a school that I had always held in high esteem, so I called UT to find out. I was informed (with a laugh) that it was true, but it had not come from the main campus, but the campus in Knoxville. I was given the phone number and extension for the person that I needed to talk to. I called Knoxville, got to the "right" person, and was informed that the story was correct. The conversation turned icey when I stated that I did not realize that UT presented degrees in lying.

This man is a FRAUD.....and the Cap and Trade farce he is promoting along with his butt buddy Obama, and their UN friends is nothing more than a huge payday for himself and all those people promoting it, George Soros the communist/Socialist scammer. Al Gore is no more red than he is green, red for communist!! Two large mansions and several other smaller homes, an older gas guzzling personal jet? this guy is amazing for his hypocracy! but the cap in trade fiasco will be a multi Trillion dollar a year business for people like Al Whore and Hussien Obama you can bet your sweet ass on that. get ready for prices to skyrocket for everything to pay for their new little venture also, then well see how green friendly people are?

Thank you Al Gore. If you're willing to live that close to the ocean I guess you realized that the ocean isn't rising from a melting arctic, you idiot! If this doesn't give the Tea Party proof that the Democrats are the secret party run by the rich, whom fool poor people into your hunger for POWER -- interesting that your neighborhood includes additional rich and famous Democratic Party movers and shakers, I bet you'll receive more money from the Oprah's in your neighborhood, to bad us taxpayers have to fund your global warming farce, too. Enough is enough (Obama said that first), we can learn from our mistakes made in the last election. We see the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party, the truth has become obvious to the American voters and taxpayers.

Wow! Does this mean if I sell pieces of paper called carbon credits, that i can live in a 8 million dollar mansion paid for by the idiots I sell the carbon credits to. Wow, what a scam? I'm in, baby.

Lisa Gohn May 1st 2010 10:40AM

Mr. Gore and his 'global warming' movie are a farce. The only 'green' he is close to is money.
He had the audacity to slam George Bush; when the fact of the matter is the Mr. Bush has one of the most environmentally green homes around.
Mr. Gore keeps purchasing homes that leave a huge carbon footprint on our planet.
He should walk the walk and not talk the talk.

debbie May 1st 2010 9:14AM

Well, when one isn't enough.
I'm amazed that they can afford to rub American's noses in the fact that they are rich and have nothing to worry about, but who their next door neighbor is.
Bravo, it's got to nice to continue taking from your people to enjoy your lives.
I'm not impressed.

Chuck May 1st 2010 9:20AM

Al Gore our Nobel Peace Prize recipient and champion of environmentalists. I wonder if his new estate will be green? While he encourages everyone else to conserve he chooses to live like a king. Does anyone see the hypocrisy from this bumbling boob?

John May 1st 2010 9:22AM

At the expense of Americans, Gore has been laughing all the way to the bank for years.

danzillo4 May 1st 2010 9:24AM

Testing..1-2-3-....Al Gore is just another example of politicians feeding off the tax payers (sheeple)...many will cheer these scum as if they actually care about you! So many are a pathetic bunch of morons! Even after they are exposed as tax cheats, liars, cheats, Drunks, addicts, they will buy their books etc., its simply amazing and sickening!

Dr. Sheila May 1st 2010 9:25AM

According to Obama, this might be 'the point at which he has made enough money.' I want some; then share with the national debt. Obama says enough is enough with money.

Dr. Sheila May 1st 2010 9:30AM

the hypocrisy is among all the Obie Libs. When is enough is enough with money? Mr. 5 million dollars last year Presiden wants to know. Well, I'll tell you- I think his $5mil is more than enough to re-distribute. To me; the national debt; the poor. They make me sick.

Joe May 1st 2010 9:33AM

Kudos to Angela and Danny for echoing my sentiments exactly regarding this fraud. When he was running for President he spoke of his beloved Tenneesse where, OH by the way, he never lived. He was raised iin DC while his father was in office, went to a private school in DC and never sniffed that farm outside of Nashvile, He is the epitome of a FRAUD.

You would think he would be smart enough not to be so GAUCHE as to buy a home on the coast of California, but he's laughing all the way to the bank at the stepford's WHO bought that rag about the environment.

What those idiots don't realize is that because of a president and congress who also have a GREEN agenda we the folks are going to paying taxes for the rest of our lives as well as our kids and grandkids.

So don't be complaining 5 years from now when your energy taxes are going sky high.. Just kneel at the altar of AL Gore and say THANK YOU MASSA!!!!!

TWeasel2 May 1st 2010 9:34AM

Those tree hugging environmentalists are all fools, and are destroying our countries way of life. Drill Baby Drill !!

ChrisK May 1st 2010 10:03AM

The oil spill currently ruining the gulf of Mexico is a good example of where the "drill baby drill" mentality will get us. Do you think the big oil and coal companies give a flying rats a$$ about people? Sure, they provide jobs and energy now but we need to think long term. I haven't researched the global warming issues enough to know where I stand but I don't think being completely apathetic about the environment is the right approach. Remember the Dust Bowl?
