What do you think Gore meant?

Posted on Monday, March 1, 2010 by J. Robert Gough E-mail This Story

From former VP's Al Gore's New York Times Op/Ed:

Simultaneously, changes in America’s political system — including the replacement of newspapers and magazines by television as the dominant medium of communication — conferred powerful advantages on wealthy advocates of unrestrained markets and weakened advocates of legal and regulatory reforms.

Some news media organizations now present showmen masquerading as political thinkers who package hatred and divisiveness as entertainment. And as in times past, that has proved to be a potent drug in the veins of the body politic. Their most consistent theme is to label as “socialist” any proposal to reform exploitive behavior in the marketplace.

So what is the former vice-president trying to say here?

What he is trying to say is, "Please support this economy-wrecking cap and trade bill so I can become the first carbon credit billionaire!"

oh, and in that 2nd paragraph, simply replace "socialist" with "racist" and "marketplace" with "government", and you're talking about MSNBC.
