It's because even YOU admit that he voted against the Civil Rights Act. When people read that they think: Okay, that technically doesn't mean he's an actual segregationist, but until I have more information, HE'S SUSPECT! Then, perhaps, they read on and discover that after being in Congress and the Senate for several decades Gore lost his bid for reelection PRECISELY BECAUSE HE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART AND CAME OUT AGAINST SEGREGATION. What does that say about his previous 30 years representing a Dixiecrat state? Do you think that someone could be reelected from a southern state during this tumultuous time period in race relations because he was AGAINST segregation???? Or perhaps they read anecdotes about his personal life -- recounted by Al Junior's Black Nanny -- that Senior and family frequented segregated restaurants? Your adamant insistence on such an issue, Judy, is why people do NOT regularly defend you on a regular basis. > How > can you "not care" about an honorable public > servant, no longer around to defend himself, being > slandered in public with the aim of denigrating his > son, the leader in the fight against global warming? It is because the ONLY reason Al Gore ever got elected in the first place as a senator from Tennessee was that it was his father's old Senate seat, just like Bush got his political success because of HIS father. So it is fair game. And it is fair game to try and understand the motivations behind why such an apparently intelligent person resorts to the worst kind of fear-mongering and I attempted to posit an explanation by examining where he got his fear-mongering from. > > If Al Gore Sr. were still alive and happened to be > a participant here, if he spoke up to defend himself, > apparently you'd be happy to dump on him as you do > me.
