Really. Directly calling him a Muslim doesn't count?

And again, for you to refer to the school as a 'muslim school' simply because the population of the country (and therefore the school) was predominantly muslim is blatant mischaracterization. You want to take the man at his word, I will:

This does not jive with simply referring to the school as a 'muslim school', nor with referring to Obama as a muslim, as you have. Again, it's no different than referring to every American school as a 'christian school'.

So please, stop pretending you've been both honest and knowledgeable about this all along. You're either wrong, or lying. Give it up.

I'm getting a bit tired of this digression myself, but I'm not about to let blatant misinformation run rampant without a counter.

By all means, I'd like to see some more opinions on Gore, who I think would probably beat Obama in a primary if he ran, anyway.

I used what's called satire to describe the people being front-run and their appearance to the public. There's Hillary, she speaks for herself. The inexperienced Muslim, and the malpractice lawyer. I stand by that. It was a follow-up to the post by Dumpy where I agreed.

I didn't call it a Muslim school simply because of anything other than that's what he and every other student who attended it and has vocalized an opinion on it has called it.

Satire? The other two are accurate descriptions.

Funny you should say that, since I've already quoted this and it's in an article that you posted.

CNN also interviewed one of Obama's classmates, Bandug Winadijanto, who said the school isn't and has never been an "Islamic school."
"It's general…There is a lot of Christians, Buddhists, also Confucian," said Winadijanto. "So, that's a mixed school."

"Hey, what you readin' that for?"

"Everyone knows real men don't cotton to 'book learnin'!'"

...

Anyone think Gore points at the internet on his screen and yells "Boo-yah! I INVENTED your ass!"?

I know I would if I was him... sometimes I do it anyway.

Gore did not invent the Internet.

The symbol for 'the internet' in the Civilization 3 tech tree is a picture of Al Gore. Fucking hilarious.

Jesus that office setup would be the tits. 3 of those big monitors and the flat panel tv on the wall..

It looks like Gore discovered a personality since the 2000 elections, if he can translate that to the rest of the political debate he will be unstoppable. Liberals will vote in droves for him, he has unification appeal that the other liberal candidates wish they had to motivate their base and he will get a good chunk of swing voters who are tired of the politics as usual BS that has been going on since Bush took office.

I think he would smoke all contenders in the Dem primary and win the general election but that will be closer but he will win his home state this time

, and that will prolly be enough to win the electoral vote

Personally my ideal client is John Mcain of the year 2000, that was a leader, unlike the shadow of himself now
