Republicans move to block Al Gore 'Live Earth' rock concert
Published: Wednesday March 28, 2007



Republicans in Congress are trying to bar former vice president Al Gore's anti-global warming mega-concert from its planned venue on the steps of the US Capitol building.

Gore is planning a single-day, series of free "Live Earth" concerts on seven continents, with the goal of calling attention to the climate change crisis.

The US concert, scheduled for the steps of the Capitol on July 7, 2007, has drawn an A-list slate of pop performers, including the Police, Kanye West, Faith Hill, Bon Jovi and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

One outspoken opponent of the concert is Senator James Inhofe, a longtime debunker of cataclysmic climate change, which he has derided as a "hoax."

"Senator Inhofe objects to having any events on the Capitol grounds that are either highly partisan or politically controversial -- and the proposed Gore concert is both," said his spokesman Marc Morano.

1. Senator Inhofe . . .

. . . dickweed extrordinaire.

6. Inhofe HATES Al Gore - detests him, and got the big ole public smackdown last week

from a mere WOMAN too over his treatment of Al in the hearings. IMO, I probably cannot even describe the level of humiliation he now feels. If you missed it, here it is...in all its pure and wonderful glory:

He is out for revenge, and will continue to stalk Al until Inhofe is out of congress. He is creepy, and makes all the radar hairs on my neck stand up straight.

8. The greatest thing about the Democratic Majority AND....

...tolerating Joe Lieberman for right now is seeing Inhofe lose control of the Environment committee and have to watch Boxer run it. God forbid we make Inhofe listen to real scientists instead of these phone quacks he gets his information.

Mother Earth couldn't be any more pleased to finally have someone like Barbara Boxer chairing that committee and moving forward with repairing the damage we have done to her

12. Thank you for the link.

Amazing, isn't it, that someone with a mind that tiny and twisted, is where he is...

What a creep.

[Skidmore]

2. So Inhofe objects. Aren't there more people up there than

Inhofe? Is this the tyranny of the minority? Or the manifestation of big dollar lobbying?

[razzleberry]

3. who gets the money?

how much are tickets?
renting the capitol, costs how much?

[Canuckistanian]

4. James Inhofe, a "longtime debunker"?

What, EXACTLY has he "debunked"?

Simply saying, "Well, it's my opinion that you're wrong" is NOT debunking anything.

[baldguy]

5. He's merely a denier, not a debunker.

[Tanuki]

9. Yes, using this term implies that global warming science is "bunk"

Thanks for catching that. We should never allow that term to go unchallenged.

[Squatch]

7. But, I bet "concerts" like "Battlecry" have an open invitation

:scared:

[Supersedeas]

10. Marc Morano -- think he feels good about himself?

[Bassic]

11. This guy really is an idiot.

"debunker of cataclysmic climate change", now really what the hell is that?

[LynneSin]

14. That's just insultive.....

I have met idiots who are damn smarter than Sen Inhofe

[lonestarnot]

13. Senator Inyourhole, get back in your hole.
