My liberal friends. I am having a problem with Al Gore?

I've been a fan of the should have been President for quite some time now but something has been bothering me lately. Why does no one ever ask him about his wife and the PMRC? Her assault on free speech in the music industry. He stood there and said nothing as she went to war against groups like the Dead Kennedys, Ice T and Too Live Crew. I know what he's doing about climate change is great but i'm still sort of angry at him about his past. If we are going to hold the right accountable for the things they've done in the past should we hold our own to the same standard. He picked a running mate in 2000 that blamed the Columbine killings on a rock band. Would you ask him these questions?

Update:

Okay...clear cut...I was talking about freedom of speech in music and his running mate in 2000 blamed the killings on a rock band. If you had someone you knew that died i'm sorry but it wasn't a rock bands fault.

Others - this wasn't a global warming question. This was about people on my side of the debate holding our own to the fire when it's nessessary.

Mike - I know a liberal can disagree with another liberal that was sort of the point of this post.

    The way I figure it, Tipper Gore owes me cash for the damage her "war against dirty music." During the 1980's I invested in a concert tour of Luke skywalker and the Too-Live Crew. Her group of free-speech assasins, got my concert in Huntsville, AL cancelled the day of the show. With no other recourse, I lost a lot of money on my investment.

    So screw her and the horse she rode in on. Yeah, I'm still pissed, even after almost 20 years.

    you be attentive to that Fox's 2nd best investor is a Muslim, suitable? "Rupert Murdoch and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal have between the closest international organisation relationships in media. They very own significant chunks of one yet another’s media agencies, information Corp. and Rotana, and each few months look saying some new venture to convey their agencies nearer at the same time. in fact, basically the former day, the prince headed a information Corp. board assembly aimed in direction of strengthening ties of that organisation and his very own, Rotana, the Arab information stated at present. "

    I would ask him why someone would insist on labeling an instrumental album as containing explicit lyrics (happened to Frank Zappa's album Jazz from Hell). THAT is some of the stuff his wife was responsible for.

    I don't need to ask them anything. First of all he is not his wife. We can not be another person. His wife understands mental illness well. I suggest you educate yourself about the subject & when you have a love one who is influened in a way that the people in killings at Columbine were killed & you still don't understand then you write to them. I am sure they would explain this better than I can.

    I don't like her either and I hope he doesn't approve of her positions, but I don't think he's required to agree with her in order to love and be married to her.

    Were you thinking of demanding they get a divorce? Do you feel entitled to demand a thing like that? Of anyone?

    Why does Al Gore fly in a private jet with houses that use 10x the power of the average American home? And why did he found a "carbon credit" company to conveniently accept money from his fans (and himself)?

    Let's repeat. He uses a ton of electricity and "pays himself" for the damage it does to the environment, according to him.

    Source(s): you're being scammed by the power point dude

    I would ask him about some of the ridiculous and unfounded claims he made in An Inconvenient Truth. He never has debated any of those claims and just expected everybody to take them as fact.

    I just wish he'd managed to steal the election. Then we'd have already gone through and rejected our experiment with socialism.
