Al Gore says he was terrorized by "busloads of people" organized by the Republican Party, protesting outside the vice presidential residence during the 2000 Florida presidential recount.
In an interview with Barbara Walters on ABC, Mr. Gore talked about the "the organized chanting round-the-clock," and said: "Well, this was the Republican response to what was happening during that 36-day period, and they organized busloads of people that came and stood outside the house all day and all night screaming at the top of their lungs."

"...The protests against the inventor of the Internet were organized on the Internet.HERE is a wonderful post about the DEPTH of the "grassroots" support, from an older thread:
Specifically, the protests were started by the "Freepers" on Free Republic (www.freerepublic.com), "an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism." Free Republic was founded by Jim Robinson, a Vietnam veteran living in Fresno, Calif., and the protests on Massachusetts Avenue outside the Naval Observatory were organized by Washington, D.C. area members...
...I can truly say one of the finest experiences of my life. I got to meet all sorts of Americans from all over the country bound together by common spirit. Wonderful!A side bar to note to the Bug...one of those mutants I spoke with was a little old [very old] lady who had ordered her two grown daughters to drive her all the way to Washington from Camden, N.J. so that she could stand in the line with the rest of us, shake her little fist and shout "Get out of Cheney's house."
She told me [in a middle European accent] "You don't know how important this is. I know what happens when elections are stolen and people do nothing to protest".
I could have kissed the old warrior.
Who could not call it a privilege to stand along side people with guts like that.Regards to all and thanks for the memories

(also easing round the corner to the rear entrance of the Veep's mansion to put the "SORE LOSERMAN" sign up where Al Goron would have to see it every time he sneaked out the back way).
Regards,
I was almost ill when it looked like Gore had taken Florida, but no one has ever accused Al of being a pervert.
On the other hand, I watched the 20/20 interview, and Tipper saying she never said or thought anything about Bill's behavior -- that WAS a little much, and rather foolish. By saying that, she alienated the people who abhored what Clinton did, but thought it was an abberation, and were willing to give the Dem's a second chance.
Note to lil' Albert: You need to get out of public life and go to a private law practice some where...Opps, I forgot, you flunked out of law school. Ok then, get nice ministarial appointment to a church congregation somewhere....I goofed again, you quit the Seminary school as well. Surely your College degree and your "brilliant" management of shrinking the federal government as vice president should........Oh, that's right, you screwed the pooch on that one too. Well, since you invented the internet maybe you could.....Sorry, I forgot, you out right lied about that one. So, in light of all of your "qualifications" you could embark on a totally new opportunity, but first you must learn to say the following with feeling: "Do you want me to double size that for you".
In the upcoming publication of "Webster's New World Dictionary" as a definition of the word "worthless" there will be no written statement, just a picture of Al Gore, smiling like a simpleton.
