Debunking needed: Hillary and Gore abusive to SS
Got this email from my daughter and found that this is all over the internet. Here is a link to one of the locations:

http://braden.weblogger.com/2004/06/21

Excerpt:
Hillary Clinton was continuously rude and abrasive to those who were charged to protect her life. Her security detail dutifully did their job, as professionals should, but they all "loathed" her and wanted to be on a different detail. She was hard work because she was so nasty and mean toward her detail. Hillary Clinton was uniformly despised by the Secret Service as a whole.

Former President Bill Clinton was much more amiable than his wife Hillary. Often the Secret Service would cringe at the verbal attack antics that Hillary would use against her husband, the then President. They were embarrassed for his sake by the manner and frequency in which she verbally insulted him, sometimes in the presence of the Secret Service, and sometimes behind closed doors. Even behind closed doors Hillary Clinton would scream and holler so loudly that everyone could hear what she was saying.

...

Al Gore was far more left wing and very hateful, not just politically opposed, to Republicans than Bill Clinton. Al Gore resented Bill Clinton and thought he was too "centrist." He despised all Republicans. His hatred was bitter and this was long before he announced for the Presidency. This bitter hatred was something that he and Hillary had very much in common. They often said as much, even in the presence of their security detail. Neither of them trusted Bill Clinton and, the Secret Service opined, neither of them even liked Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton did have some good qualities where Al Gore and Hillary had none in the view of their security details.

It starts out with "this is from a friend of a neighbor and I trust him" like a lot or these types of emails do.
Nothing found on snopes for this.

2. Simply say you don't traffic in rumor mongering
and will only consider this information if three sources can corroborate what is being said.

3. Gore is "left wing"?!?
BWAH HA HA HA HA

I don't need to read any more than that to know this is bunk.

I also don't think it's capable of Gore to "hate" anyone.

6. I don't know about Al Gore
The Hillary stories have too many sources which corroborate them. There is a book by Clinton's military aide in which Hillary is portrayed in the same light (mean, nasty, and petty with underlings) while Bill Clinton is portrayed as being very amiable and friendly with subordinates. SS problems with Bill Clinton were his casualness towards making instant changes and not really being serious about persoanl security.

10. If you read anything other than the internet........
"Dereliction of Duty" by Lt Col Robert Patterson. He was the USAF aid who fiollowed Pres Clinton around for a couple of years carrying the "nuclear football" and was in daily contact with both of the Clintons.

5. I thought Kerry/Edwards are running?
Just tell them to let it go. I know it is hard for them to overcome their hatred for the Clintons and Gore. But there is a new election coming up and Clinton/Gore is not on the ticket.

7. There's no "evidence" or "facts" to disprove


From TruthOrFiction.com:
There is no substantiation of this email.
The Secret Service agent is quoted anonymously, is called an "officer" instead of the proper title of agent, and the comments are suspiciously blanketly approving of the Bushes and disapproving of the Clintons during an election year when Bush is running for reelection.

By the way did you know that Bush has Satanic rituals in the White House Basement where he eats children. I saw this in an e-mail so it must be true.
