Jeepers Freepers 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." Says Mr. Gore's daughter, Karenna: "It was right-wing groups, it was definitely Bush-campaign-oriented effort to bus in people to have a sort of siege at the vice president's house, and, so, they were all lining there, screaming, and it was kind of an assortment of groups. I mean, some of them were anti-abortion groups, and some of them were pro-gun groups. But they were all screaming, 'Get out of Cheney's house,' the whole time." In point of fact, the Republican Party did not organize the protests, nor were "busloads" of protesters sent in by other groups. The protests against the inventor of the Internet were organized on the Internet. 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. Also, Mr. Gore might like to know that it was a Freeper who designed a widely circulated parody of the Gore-Lieberman 2000 logo: "Sore Loserman."

The "vast right-wing conspiracy" is borne out of exactly what liberals CLAIM to love: Grassroots movement + Free Speech.

Thanks to Kristin and the rest of the fantastic group of Freepers,(who made ALBORE face the political reality of his year 2000 presidential bid),we possibly face the last real chance of ALBORE obtaining "honest" employment by trying to hawk his and "Tippsy's" nature sounds CD on E-Bay,(just in time for the holiday gift giving season),for the liberal friend on your shopping list who is tough to buy for...
(He could probably throw in a couple of "freshly printed" books with each CD purchase....just to make it REALLY hard to pass up!!!!)

There was at least one Republican demonstration in the crowd, but as far as I recall, they didn't take their own bus to get there!

Thanks fer the link, my FRiend...also found in Pierce's article...
"the "Donahue" show has helped make the cable MSNBC network "a ratings embarrassment" for parent company General Electric, Janet Kornblum reports in USA Today. MSNBC is averaging fewer than 400,000 viewers during prime time, compared with 983,000 viewers at CNN and 1.5 million for Fox News Channel. "Phil Donahue's days at MSNBC are numbered," the reporter said. "NBC News executives are likely to cancel his talk show by year's end."
WooooHOOOOOOOOO...MUD
