I added margins and italics and boldface to the speech at MoveLeft Media:

3. I really recommend *watching* this, if you can

Gore's delivery is worth tracking down. C-SPAN might have it up.

4. I would love to do a research project

finding republican sources (or military) who have said what Gore did then send it to every news organization and ask them why they trashed Gore for saying what others have said.

After all, he is a FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Why is he given NO respect??????

Anyone wanna help? We could bookmark a thread and add quotes and where they fit into Gore's speech as we find them. We could start with Bill Kristol saying Bush drove the country into a ditch on Jon Stewart.

5. Not worth your time to do that extensively for news organizations.

The media-shills are claiming to be upset by Gore's "tone" when they didn't even listen to or read the whole speech.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Gore's tone.

If you want to take one example and send it to news organizations, ok, but I doubt it would be worth it to write something long they won't even read.

Or if you want to write something long for us to read, ok, I just mean don't expect someone at a news-organzation to read long criticism.
