    Gore urges civil disobedience to stop coal plants
    Wed Sep 24, 2008 3:29pm EDT

    By Michelle Nichols

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.

    The former U.S. vice president, whose climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" won an Academy Award, told a philanthropic meeting in New York City that "the world has lost ground to the climate crisis."

    "If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore told the Clinton Global Initiative gathering to loud applause.

    "I believe for a carbon company to spend money convincing the stock-buying public that the risk from the global climate crisis is not that great represents a form of stock fraud because they are misrepresenting a material fact," he said. "I hope these state attorney generals around the country will take some action on that."

    Al Bore is calling up his cult members to go civil disobedience, while he sails around on his brand new yatch he just bought of his cult members backs...

    imagine that...

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

    He called for civil disobedience. He didn't say for them to be non-violent. He's just making sure they can't charge him for incitement. He's one of those brave leaders from the rear. As far in the rear as he can get.

    This is the first of the liberal uprisings that are going to start when obamanation loses the election.

    In order for "civil disobedience" to stop construction of something, it would have to be violent. They would have to use force to prevent the workers from going in, or would have to actually destroy property.

    Doesn't surprise me that Dems are now starting to voice up terrorist acts as moral ways to get their political views across.
