Does Al Gore's PMRC Past Scare Anybody Else?

[TheJollyNihilist]

PMRC declared war on the entertainment industry back in the '80s, and Al Gore himself was instrumental in that fight. Both he and Tipper railed against music and movies that, in their judgment, were offensive. Then, in 2000, Gore selected anti-Hollywood Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Lieberman, at that time, was a member of the pro-censorship organization Parents Television Council.

I do like Al Gore, and agree with him on many issues, but this is a major thing for me. I consider myself a Free Expression absolutist, and any tendencies toward censorship probably would disqualify my support. Certainly I wouldn't vote for the GOP candidate, but I might be forced to vote Green.

Does Al Gore's long history of opposing "offensive" Hollywood entertainment scare anybody else? Do you think President Gore would declare "war" on Eminem, splatter movies, profanity in primetime, etc.? Or, as I fervently hope, has he changed his pro-censorship ways?
