The Most Bizarre Rant Against Al Gore Winning the Nobel Peace Prize
Just to show that the left-wing blogosphere can be as crazy as the right. The Cat's Dream writes that Al Gore doesn't deserve the war prize because he is a war criminal. The only reason I read this is because this person spams my email box with posts.
As vice president during the Clinton era, Al Gore did certainly share all the responsibility for the huge crimes against humanity his administration inflicted upon millions of people on this planet. Just let’s remember the genocidal UN embargo and the illegal bombing of the notorious No Fly Zones in Iraq; and then Sudan, Yugoslavia and many other places where Uncle Sam has always been terrifying millions of people with its ugly arrogance and deadly violence. In 1991, before becoming vice president, Al Gore was one of ten Democratic Senators who voted in favor of the first Gulf War. This is just a very brief biography of a top war criminal that in a sane world would be hanged or imprisoned for life.
What is it about blogging that makes people become unhinged?

It's not blogging that makes people unhinged -- many people are unhinged anyways. Blogging just gives them a soapbox to stand on, as well as access to any audience on Earth. Provided, of course, that such an audience is willing to goto somebody's website.
This can confuse popularity with actual remoteness. For example, all of these winguts who spout batshit insane ideas have "popular" websites because popularity can be determined simply by having a couple thousand hits a day. But when shifting back to the real world, these unhinged voices are just as unpopular as they were before they started blogging.
Shifting to examples from the left, The Cat's Dream used to spam my Loaded Mouth email back in the day. Clicked on their links every once in a while, but not often -- I don't think I ever linked to them. As far as the ffar left goes, they are going to believe that the Clinton administration is just as guilty of war crimes in Iraq as the Bush administration. On some cases, they do have a point -- it was never news when Clinton bombed Iraq. But anybody who doesn't recognize that Bush has acted much worse is, well, biased.
