My incest obsession? Explain to me your points in posting the pictures in posts 58, 63, 80, and 82 with the caption "Aw dad, come on, you know I'd never tell!". It's clear what the joke was you were attempting to imply. Over the line in my opinion. It's a violation of the young women you pictured. I know what you're saying about the attempts to make Gore appeal to younger women. I just don't think that it's safe to say this picture is part of that. It looks like a family photo to me, not unlike many in normal households.
By the way, your posts are way too long and you did end up being a disruptor.
I simply repeated myself the first few posts. You kept trying to change my mind and I had to explain that there was no way to do that.
You should spend more time on other threads too. I bet somewhere, sometime today, someone will make an observation, someone else will make a crude comment, and someone will snicker. This must stop.
Very rarely do threads turn into a false inuendo free-for-all like this one did.
To quote a popular phrase, "It's not about the incest stupid"
It's too big of a leap. Tell me what evidence you have that this is part of the sexiness campaign.
To quote a popular phrase, "It's not about the incest stupid"
It's about the crudeness of implying incest.
Veeeery curious how #3Fan labeled people puritans for being disgusted by the thought. LOL...liberal disruptor...I knew it!
This just proves that nothing is beyond sacrificing to further algore's would-be career -- not pride, not family, not good taste, not morals -- nothing. Take a hint, al, tipper, & karenna, whatever it is, keep it to yourselves.
Mia T's most excellent depiction of "sax in the city". This is algore's legacy.
I'm beginning to think you're crazy. I've repeated to you several times that my purpose was to show more than one opinion on this issue of this picture. You couldn't accept that and tried for twenty posts to change my mind that it's OK to falsely imply any abomination you want saying I should learn proper ediquette (sic probably...too late in the thread to go through the trouble of looking it up) from Leno and prime-time TV. Since I'm not willing to change my mind and define deviancy down, you now call me a liberal.
I think a lot of you people are misguided puritans. Like the female poster said that I quoted above, you're turning something normal into something perverse. No different train of thought from the what happened in Salem. You said that puritans couldn't be crude. Would you say that burning ~20 women at the stake wasn't crude. Those were puritans that did that.
I'm not saying you people will resort to murder of course, but these threads do add to the stereotypes that the liberal media likes to heave on us. There are plenty of things to criticize Al Gore for. Let's not redefine normal behaviour as perverse in order to get a cheap, false, crude shot in. It's not necessary and it takes away from our credibility.
Reread the thread. I said the photo was staged. All political photos are staged, Republican and Democrat alike. You peoiple are taking this as some kind of sexual display and I think that's silly and said so.
How lucky for the world that the picture was made public so we can all enjoy that chance intimate moment -- yeah, right, just like in my family!
Reread the thread. I said it was staged. Can you read?
I'm angry too. I think it's the Dems who helped cause 9-11 with their attacks against the CIA, etc., over the last 35 years. We have to play smart though and over-reactions and false implications like these allows the media to pigeonhole us as cold puritanical types that are afraid to death of showing warmth. We can't affect change if we end up seen as crazy as the Libertarians have allowed themselves to look. We have to protect our credibility as it relates to finger-pointing. Don't finger-point if there's no crime.
This is the first time I've seen the "consensual incest" topic mentioned on this thread. I thought this thread was about the picture, not NAMBLA's position on issues. So you're saying that since NAMBLA is a leftist organization, it's OK to falsely accuse Gore of anything you want? Since David Duke ran as a Republican, is it OK to accuse Bush of any abomination?
Why don't you stick to the truth. Al Gore has plenty of faults to criticize him for, you don't have to make up things like his supporting "consensual incest" to get a cheap shot in. Do you have any quotes from Al Gore where he supports consensual incest?
DITTO !!!
Thanks. I appreciate you thoughtfulness. :^)
I found #43 more painful than any snide remarks about family relationships; but that is the nature of FR: after reading some of the awful revelations, we let off steam on a thread like this. But I'm looking beyond the jokes to this faked pxr to the totality of his wrongdoing. I'll cut it down to this: his attempt to shoe-horn himself into the presidency in any way possible, including discounting the military votes, including those from the Cole's crew which had just been bombed.
Yes I agree. The wrongs committed by the liberals and Al Gore in particular are breathtaking and disgusting. Their attempts to throw out legitimate votes in order to win elections is Saddam-like. They seem to have no reverence at all for the things that made America great. They seem to be willing to set any precedent, tell any lie, cheat anybody, break any law to hold power. There's no doubt in my mind that they would trample the first amendment to shut up one or both of the only two facets we have of getting our message out to the people. They own the universites, the networks, Hollywood, the public schools, and the non-elected government beaurocracy but they're not happy with that, they want to shut down our talk radio and probably Fox News along with it with the Fairness Doctrine even though Fox News is balanced already. Anything that's not 90% liberal is extreme conservatism in their eyes. The Daschle tirade was no accident, they're after the first amendment along with the second that they continue to attack. That's why the judicial appointments are so important to them. The Constitution is a conservative document. They know they can't change the Constitution so they try to simply put in liberal judges that will legislate from the bench and bypass the Constitution and the legislative branch. How's that for taxation without representation.
algore's whole life is a lie -- that is the only conclusion I can draw after years of reading about him. His family is in the same lie, apparently willingly. May God help us, and them.
Yeah, you're right about that. As far as staged photos go, this is an extreme example and something I wouldn't do nor would I want any Republican to do in a campaign to it's degree of fakery.
Sorry for the long rant, I didn't want anyone to get the impression that I like Gore. Gore and his ilk may force us into another civil war if they had their way. And unlike Lincoln, Davis, Grant, and Lee, they wouldn't feel guilty about it. Power trumps rightness and conscience to them.
There IS no such thing as "sexual tension" between normal fathers and daughters.
