Some people really don't get it. They look but they don't see. They have an agenda and a warped perspective which somehow excuses what they do and then makes the exact same behavior in a lesser degree totally reprehensible.
Try this example:
Seeking An "American Spring"
Some things to note, Mr. Gore:
The Arab Spring is about populist uprisings with lots of violence to cast off oppressive regimes. Either you are comparing the American government as oppressive, which isn't totally incorrect these days, or you are seeking a societal disruption, massive destruction of the major population centers and subsequently a government mobilization and repression of the revolution.
The situation may be described as oppressive in some rhetorical descriptions, but I don't think we are yet at the armed uprising stage. That may take another year or two.
Looking at the whole article, it is difficult to understand exactly what Gore is looking for. The only conclusion I can reach is that he doesn't know what he is talking about either.
