Gore to 3,000 Kids: "There are some things about our world that you know that older people don't know."

Al Gore gave a speech on global warming. I know, shocker.

During the course of his speech, before he started to scare the crap out of a room full of impressionable children, he essentially told them they don’t have to listen to their parents when it comes to global warming.

He even went as far to compare it to the civil rights movement.

Glenn Beck covered this on is show today (I guess. I missed it but got the newsletter.)

Here is a bit of the transcript:

GLENN: Okay. Here is the setup of — I mean, you’ll get a sense. We’ll roll about a minute and a half of this. You are going to get a feeling of, “Oh, my gosh, look where he’s going.” Listen to the words of Al Gore.

GORE: But I’m thinking back now a long way to when I was your age and the civil rights movement –

GLENN: 12, by the way.

GORE: — was unfolding. And we kids asked our parents and their generation, “Explain to me again why it’s okay for the law to officially discriminate against people because of their skin color.” And parents try to tell their kids the right thing, you know, usually. I do. And when our parents’ generation couldn’t answer that question, that’s when the law started to change. There are –

GLENN: Okay, stop for a second. Stop for a second. You hear where he’s going? “You know, my parents, they didn’t know, either. They didn’t know. They couldn’t answer that question.” Okay. Well, my parents could have answered that question and I think they did answer that question. I mean, I grew up in the Seattle area and we didn’t have the race riots and everything else. I don’t remember any of that stuff, but I do remember having conversations later in life when I was a little older and talking about it and my parents going there’s no difference, there’s no difference between us. So my parents answered that question. I think a lot of parents did. But apparently Al Gore’s, apparently Al Gore was raised by racists because that’s the only — that’s what I’m hearing here. But he’s not really building to race, is he? That is, are we still having the race debate? Are our parents still saying that blacks are different than whites? Is that what he’s building towards?

GORE: There are some things about our world that you know that older people don’t know.

GLENN: Stop. “There are some things that…” you’re 12! “There are some things that you know that older people don’t know.” That is — and I’m just getting started. That is one of the most incredible things I have ever heard. “There are some things that you know that older people don’t know.” He is pitting the youth of this nation against their parents. We have a former vice president of the United States, a man who claims to have been President of the United States saying to the best and the brightest 12-year-olds that “You know better than your parents,” that “You don’t have to listen to your parents on things because they just don’t know.”

I’m trying to think where else this has been done. Soviet Russia, Nazi, Germany, Mussolini’s Italy. In fact, the Nazis took an extra step. Not only did they indoctrinate the kids and tell them you’re probably right, you know but your parents don’t; in fact, here’s the next step: Why don’t you tell us what your parents are telling you. Are we having the new Hitler youth? Is that what this is? The new Hitler youth? I’m sorry, that’s so politically incorrect. The new green guard. Man your station, 12-year-olds, your parents just don’t know.

Listen to it it come out of Al’s mouth.
