re: #51 Sol Berdinowitz

Please don’t go flying off the handle on this one, but at leas a small part of the blame can be directed at Al Gore. (hear me out on this before you downding)

It was rather pretentious of him to think that he could simply distance himself from his political legacy and become an elder statesman overnight and embrace a cause without politicizing it.

In doing so, he made himself a lightining rod and caused a lot of people who had simply ignored the issue or were neutral on it turn against the concept of it simply because it was identified with the name of their ex-arch rival.

But it does it make them any less full of shit for doing so.

Sorry, but this makes as much sense to me as blaming Obama for polarizing America because a bunch of crazy assholes hate his guts. He’s not a polarizing person because of what he does. He’s polarizing because a bunch of crazy assholes are racist, whether or not they even grasp it.

BTW, Gore came within a Supreme Court ruling of winning because more people actually voted for him in the country, and more people INTENDED TO vote for him in Florida. Again, he’s a polarizing figure because HE should have been President, not their moron former hero.
