Al at it again

From Fox News
Crazy Al is at it again...I swear this guy is one step away from biting off Evander Holyfield's ear.

Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.

Gore said Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into Al Qaeda's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.

"The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake," Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. "The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."

Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."

"Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong," Gore said. "I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."

Once again, a prominent US Democratic leader finds it necessary to openly criticize the US while just a few miles down the road from him American troops continue fighting in deadly combat. First of all, does anyone know what he’s talking about? Indiscriminately rounded up? Unforgivable conditions? The way Mr. Gore talks, you’d think we gathered these people up for a Bataan Death March to Auschwitz. I think crazy Al is exaggerating a little bit. It’s also interesting how he describes enforcing our immigration laws as “terrible abuses”. Al needs to remember that these “minor charges” of overstaying a visa also applied to the nutjobs who pulled off 9/11. Yet for some reason, Bush was supposed to catch those guys before they carried out their attacks. If it’s “terrible abuses” now, what would it have been before 9/11? Gore has the audacity to accuse his own country of terrible abuses for trying to close the very gap that allowed those attackers to hit us. How dare we!

One other thing. I think Al needs to speak for himself. The MAJORITY of the people in this country have no problem with us enforcing the immigration laws. If someone’s visa is expired, then they are here illegally and should be dealt with. I don’t know, maybe Al is planning on running for office in Saudi Arabia. I think he’d fit in well over there.
