Because they knew the election was stolen, and rightwing propagandists needed a scapegoat sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #23

You just now see it being "pushed" on the Left. Hogwash. Bolo Boffin Jun 2012 #28

Not reading a comment and then commenting on what you didn't read results in the kind of comment sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #66

Let me put it this way. Saying this was only a right wing meme until just recently is not true. Bolo Boffin Jun 2012 #70

You are incorrect, again. I did not say it was ONLY a rightwing meme. I was posting on sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #73

No, the media whores did an excellent job of sliming him. Remember "Gore is a liar?" McCamy Taylor Jun 2012 #16

I'm convinced the corporate media did it primarily because Gore was the leading political champion Uncle Joe Jun 2012 #39

You mean why didn't he seek the votes of the foolish? McCamy Taylor Jun 2012 #15
