Al Gore gave a pretty disgusting, even seditious speech over the weekend in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, declaring among other things (via Yahoo News):

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

First, it's just a lie - no one is being "indiscriminately rounded up" in America. To go to another country, especially to that one, and tell such lies about your own country is simply despicable. For a former vice president of the United States doubly so. Just more evidence how fortunate we are this deranged man never became president.

Blogger Tigerhawk sums it up nicely:

There is simply no defense for what Gore has done here, for he is deliberately undermining the United States during a time of war, in a part of the world crucial to our success in that war, in front of an audience that does not vote in American elections. Gore's speech is both destructive and disloyal, not because of its content -- which is as silly as it is subversive -- but because of its location and its intended audience. He should be ashamed. But he won't be. The leadership of the Democratic party should disavow Gore's Jiddah speech. But it won't.

Michelle Malkin has a fine rebuttal to Gore's slander here. And more from Ed Morrissey. Also linked at The Mudville Gazette.
