Internet News Bureau has become aware of an email message being circulated titled, "Al Gore's 21 Lies"' which is being attributed as being taken from a Press Release distributed by Internet News Bureau. Please take notice that, without commenting on the contents of the message itself, it was not distributed by - and did not originate at - Internet News Bureau.

Just from watching so much news when the elections were going on I can tell you that more than 50% of it I seen on TV with my own eyes. I've marked with a Star all the comments I have seen or heard through the news channels. Some of the facts given, not all, I have also seen reported on the news. How bout you Midnight?

I find it quite amusing how you guys throw toejam over your politicians in a "multi-national", world wide discussion board like this one.
We have our share of idiotic politics here in Finland too but I don't have a urge to drag the conversation about them to this board...

Anyway I'm waiting your next elections; That was a better show than I've seen in ages :)

There you go again.... posting inaccuracies and lies to make a point.

for instance: Al Gore Sr. did vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 but it is hard to see how this could be regarded as prima facie evidence of racism. If so, then Republican luminaries such as Barry Goldwater was a racist (he voted against it) and so is George Herbert Walker Bush who attacked his Democratic opponent Ralph Yarborough for voting for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the Texas Senate race of 1964.

Al Gore Sr. did stand out from other Southern Senators be being one of only three to refuse to sign Republican Senator Strom Thurmond's 'Southern Manifesto,' a vigorous defense of segregationism and Jim Crow. And Gore never played the racial politics that was common at the time.

Could Al Gore Sr. have done more to advance civil rights? He admitted as much later in life but that hardly makes him a racist or diehard segregationist.


the rest of your post is refuted
here but you probably won't bother reading it. It's too factual.
