'Dog whistle': Al Gore says 'we've got to take back the country'

Paging Chris Matthews!

Speaking at a Center for American Progress conference, Al Gore has been quoted as saying something that would probably get him branded an anarchist and a hostage-taker if he didn’t have that protective “D” after his name.

Many tweeters noticed it as well:

It's a dog whistle. Someone alert Joan Walsh! RT @JohnEkdahl: Wait, what? RT @FreeBeacon: Al Gore: "We've got to take back the country."

This is an inconvenient truth that Gore pretends doesn’t exist:

Al Gore: "We've got to take back the country." Um, from yourselves? You moonbats have controlled the country for the last 8 yrs! #tcot
