Al Gore is once again proving, in my opinion, that he hates America. How so? In a time of war like this...you cannot spread lies in your speeches, claiming the President is lying, when, in fact, you're the one telling the whoppers. The former vice president claimed in a speech that President Bush lied to the nation by claiming there are any links between Al Qaeda and Iraq and Hussein himself. There are indeed links, a number of them- and Gore knows this. The 9/11 Commission recently said as much. The FBI has provided evidence of such links, and the media has reported the links as well. Gore recently claimed that Bush lied by telling the American people that there were links between Hussein and the 9/11 attacks- a claim Mr. Bush never made, and actually pointed out, many times, that he and his administration were not suggesting this at all- tho, there is evidence that exists that point to possible direct links between the plot and Hussein.
Yes, it is shameful for a former vice president to put his country in danger like this by spreading such lies, and in such a hateful way at that. He is feeding into the conspiracy theorists who want to claim Bush is a liar, tho have no evidence of such, and the extremely insane who want to claim that the U.S. government actually attacked America on Sept. 11. Difference of opinion is fine, but bald face lies are NOT, and they never will be, especially from a former vice president who knows his lies are putting Americans at home and abroad in danger.
In the end, I believe that Americans will easily connect Gore to Kerry- and it will hurt them both. Gore, once somewhat mild mannered, has turned into the new Howard Dean, with his creepy screaming and his claims that are totally unfounded and usually outright lies. The dems would do good to get Gore under control, because he's an embarassment to all reasonable Americans at best, and a danger to all Americans at worst.
