Favorite Gore quotes
I'm looking for audio or video clips of, essentially, Al Gore's greatest soundbites.

Even if you just know the text (and context) of the quote that would be a big help, and links to the content is even beter, if you have them handy.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

1. Welp this is one I heard yesterday that I already posted
on a different thread earlier today. Though he was quoting some obscure (to me anyway) German and decribed the current corporate media as exemplary of "degradation of the public sphere." In other words, he gets it totally.

Then I read two really recent interviews today with him posted over at
http://commondreams.org from the Guardian and he described * as a right wing extremist. Those articles both contain some duplicate info but they're well worth a read.

2. That would be Habermas
"Obscure" isn't the word I would use, but then again, I am German. ;-)

He is widely regarded as one of the world's most important social philosophers.

5. LOL
I said obscure "to me anyway." I'm not that familiar with many social philosophers perhaps I should be. Thanks for the heads up.

4. He was on Philidelphia Radio's (an affiliate of NPR) on
Terry Gross's "Fresh Air" yesterday. It should be archived.
