Al Gore sure was full of righteous indignation the other day in his speech denouncing the Bush administration for selectively eavesdropping on phone calls to Americans by suspected foreign terrorists....[snip] He suggested this was one of the worst abuses by federal officials in the history of our country.
But while Gore denounced the selective and limited use of wiretaps by law enforcement officials on calls generated by suspected foreign terrorists, he had no problem – just a decade ago – calling for wholesale, mandatory surveillance on the phone calls and secure computer communications of every single American.
In fact, beginning in 1993, he ran the "Clipper chip" project for the Clinton administration that would have done just that – bug every phone, computer and fax machine in America....[snip]

I keep hearing about this guy, "Al Gore".
Who is he? Is he famous for something?
:)
I think he's the guy who invented the internet.
And I believe I also heard that he was the inspiration for Oliver in "Love Story."
;-)
He's the guy who lost his mind to hanging chad disease

His Daddy helped create the environmental disaster at Love Canal.
Al is most-famous for winning the "Mr Ed's Rear End" lookalike contest in 1967. He apparently married Mr Ed's front end some years later.
I heard he was a slumlord in Tennessee and that his Daddy was a segregationist.

In addition to the Clipper chip, people have forgotten about the FDIC's "Know-Your-Customer" proposal, during the Clinton administration, for all banks to profile ALL customers' deposits, withdrawal, check-writing patterns.....
These people amaze me. Their presence has been filmed and written about for years, their words are on record, yet they stupidly forget what they said and did when they go on a rant about someone they hate. They make total fools of themselves.
New sequel?
soph·is·try (sf-str) n. pl. soph·is·tries.
1. Plausible but fallacious argumentation.
2. A plausible but misleading or fallacious argument.
Al Bore, other liberals and the MSM have mastered the art of sophistry.
Yes, thankfully the Internet is changing all that, separating the straight shooters from the b.s.ers.
Huh...I thought he was the inspiration for the puck in 'Love Story'
Its had to imagine--and frightening--that a man as stupid as Al Gore was close to the Presidency.
Nah, that was a different Al:
You're right, of course. I think Gore finished 2nd "behind" Franken that year.
