One protest (the Tea Party) is conducted in an orderly, rational fashion, while the other (OWS) is basically mob rule.

In other words, they are going to go over it with a fine-tooth comb before it ever even hits the floor for a vote. Pelosi is a horrible, disgusting creature...

Unfortunately for these dimwits, the financial sector is full of greedy dimwits who were all too willing to either go along with the scheme or propagate it to the point where it became a systemic issue. Then, when the bottom fell out in 2008, the same greedy dimwits who were profiting off of these schemes were put in charge of fixing it, leading to more issues and stagnating any potential recovery.

Wow! I think you need to get out of that cube or office of yours once in a while and see what life is really like. A better theory for the both the Holocaust and, indeed, the financial crash (if there could be any parallel drawn between these two events) can be summed up in two words - "Mob Rule". It comes down to participants in the act saying to themselves, "Well, everyone else is doing it, so it must be okay."

I never once called anyone a Nazi, but equated the films because of their political objectives. Also, I never claimed to be right-wing or left-wing, so there you go again trying to project. "Established science"? That is always the argument of someone that doesn't understand the meaning of science in the first place - nothing is ever "established". It is the hallmark of someone that doesn't want to argue because he is unsure of the solidity of the basis from which he is arguing. I have not seen anywhere here where you try to convince anyone of the validity of Gore's claims; all you have are just ad hominem attacks. But I see arguing with a person such as yourself to be a losing battle, and I have much better things to do than to try to convince someone who has drunk deeply of the Al Gore Kool-Aid and can no longer discern truth from lies, even when the evidence is staring him in the face.

I'll try to keep this simple for you. What makes them similar is that they are both movies made for the express purpose of driving a political agenda by twisting realities and obfuscating the truth. The only real "Inconvenient Truth" for Al Gore is that the earth has been in a natural cooling cycle for the past decade, and all of the real "climate change" can be attributed to solar radiation cycles, not some mystical (read: unproven) relationship between CO2 levels in the atmosphere and trapped radiation. Gore's "award-winning" movie is a total farce based upon bad science, bad assumptions, and an ignorant public intended to fan the political flames for institution of unnecessary environmental legislation intended to enrich a few at the expense of America's future.

That's what happens when you have an ego the size of Manhattan.
