Gore on fire
President Bush is breaking the law.
Al Gore’s Liberty Coalition speech on Martin Luther King day is vital. With historical context, he makes the case for why the current law-breaking administration must be reigned in. Most importantly, Gore builds his fire under complacent Democrats and lays out a path for Americans of all political stripes to unify against this so-far unchecked executive power.
Sadly, mainstream media coverage of this speech has been poor. Therefore, I am contributing whatever available bandwidth I have to help get it out there in a good-quality audio file. Go to peacecast.us to download.
The text of the speech is here. Additional commentary by Glenn Greenwald here.

Wonderful Post. Chico Town also did a post about this.
When Katrina hit, Gore reached into his own pocket and contacted an airline and flew to planes full of people to safety. He didn’t want publicity.
When Katrina hit, Bush praised “Brownie” for his wonderful job?

Thanks, Kat. I’m setting aside years of enmity I’ve had for Al Gore. I heartily recommend Rhodian Attic too!
