Race war? Al Gore himself stopped the effort by the Democrats to start one in 2000 during the election dispute. That's the way I read the quote from his daughter Karenna.

A quote from one column (November 19, 2002) of Frum's I post often contains this (the quote is by Karenna Gore) and it's about the 2000 post-election day turmoil. It sure seemed to me that the Dems were ready to spark race riots -- which IMO the MSM would have demanded that Bush concede and bow to the "will of the people" (a phrase often included in MSM reports on the turmoil).

"He [Al Gore] said, 'We have to do what's best for the country, and it is not good for the country to have this kind of divisiveness.' And he was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the … the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to, because of what was best for the country not because of what was best for him politically. And that's really who he is."

He stopped it because who would be blamed for it? Gore.

Have you seen the number of inflammatory, hate-filled, Hitlerian speeches the dipwad has given?
