EXXON MOBIL BEHIND VIDEO ATTACK ON AL GORE

The Wall Street Journal reports that a lobbying group linked to Exxon Mobil is behind a new video attack on Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth.”

” in the video, Mr. Gore appears as a sinister figure who brainwashes penguins and bores movie audiences by blaming the Mideast crisis and starlet Lindsay Lohan’s shrinking waist size on global warming. Like other videos on the popular YouTube site, it has a home-made, humorous quality. The video’s maker is listed as “Toutsmith,” a 29-year-old who identifies himself as being from Beverly Hills in an Internet profile.

In an email exchange with The Wall Street Journal, Toutsmith didn’t answer when asked who he was or why he made the video, which has just over 59,000 views on YouTube. However, computer routing information contained in an email sent from Toutsmith’s Yahoo account indicate it didn’t come from an amateur working out of his basement.

Propaganda/Noise Machine

Media Matters for America monitors the GOP “noise machine:

Echoing the rantings of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche and his followers, David Horowitz and Richard Poe charge in their new book that George Soros was a Nazi “collaborator in fascist Hungary” and “survived [the Holocaust] by assimilating to Nazism” as a 14-year-old boy. Horowitz and Poe further smear Soros and other progressives by doctoring or distorting quotes and falsely or misleadingly portraying events and statements.

Speaking of Horrowitz:

“On Hannity & Colmes, David Horowitz would not answer accusations that he “admitted on the air” that he “didn’t even write or research … parts of” his book, The Professors. Horowitz also claimed that fellow guest Mark LeVine, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, is “an apologist for the terrorists.”
