    Oil companies was the question. How has Gore profited from oil companies?

    Aside from the sentence quoted above, the linked post appears to be entirely a cut and paste from Daily Kos. Except for one sentence, the post which follows it is from the same Daily Kos piece.

    Quoting entire articles is generally considered poor practice, but quoting entire articles without attribution might result in legal action being taken against this site.

    Were I interested in reading that, I would have looked it up on line. However, it only emphasizes exactly what I said in so much simpler terms.

    and, just for instance;

    You can't tell me how Gore has profited from oil companies but you will post this nonsense. That was exactly how shallow I thought this argument was and I was right.

    So the logic here is that by being critical of the oil companies, Gore is profiting from them? Wow! That standard applied to everything else makes everything unopen to criticism. Now that is Right-wing logic for you.

    In most jurisdictions, it's illegal, and if you continue this practice I will take my concerns to those who might consider it a problem. I would like this site to continue without unnecessary problems for its owner.

    It's very simple and easy to attribute material taken from elsewhere.

    Oooooooh! I see, it is Al Jazeera not Al Gore. So Al Jazeera which hails from a country in the middle east which happens to be our ally gets money from oil companies, which again I've seen no proof of here, but is supposedly getting money from oil companies and therefore Al Gore is profiting off of the oil companies. Thanks for explaining that. Now I completely get it.

    I'd still like to see where Democrats said that Romney was too rich to be president. Feel free to list your source for that quote if you wish.

    You still can't prove what you claimed. When and where did Democrats run Ads or state that Romney is too rich to be president? They said that he was out of touch and that was true given all the examples of being out of touch that I posted. Too out of touch sure but no one ever said too rich.

    I don't know how to tell you this, but there if a difference between the media and Democrats. Democrats cannot control what the media says or doesn't say. If you'll notice, there aren't a whole lot of Obama Administration people also working for the media. Not that you couldn't make that claim about people working on the Romney campaign and working foor Fox but then again you would have to be blind not to see them.
    Show me a Democrat sponsored Ad saying that Romney is too rich to be president, othewise you are admitting that everything Glenn Beck says and Rush Limbaugh says is directly as a result of Republicans. And I mean everything.
