Gore's Speech: The Wingnut Response

Out of morbid curiosity, I poked around a bit to see how the usual suspects are responding to Gore's MLK Day speech. Here's a sampling:

Hinderaker: Gore's not a lawyer.

GayPatriot: Gore's not a lawyer.

TigerHawk: Gore was in favor of kidnaping terrorists when he was vice-president, and I'm going to pretend that this is the same as kidnaping terrorists and shipping them to countries that torture.

The Astute Blogger: Gore lies, because his wording doesn't conform to my re-definition of words like 'domestic'.

Gateway Pundit: Clinton ordered warrantless searches for foreign intelligence, and I'm going to pretend that this is the same as using them to gather domestic intelligence.

Instapundit: What they said. Heh.

To my immense shock and surprise¹, not one of them actually engages the substance of the speech. In the collection above, there are two credentialist attacks, two Johnny-did-it-too attacks, one extremely tortured semantic 'argument', and one lazy-ass roundup of links to people who actually say something.

And these are the (relatively) substantive responses (as differentiated from the idiots who compare Gore to bin Laden or accuse him of treason). That's the best they've got. And it ain't much.

Update: Apologies to Spurious George; I missed the satirical intent. Easy to do, when the real thing is as crazed as they are.
