Website Has Current DLC Membership Including Al Gore...
Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 08:33 AM by RestoreGore
And it angers me. Perhaps some others here who read this can send a note to this site to have his name removed. I'm going to. I wouldn't care if this were an old list, but why would it include updated information to even include his movie which just came out this May, and he not know about it? If people claim they have his back regarding misinformation this would then be a good start imo.

1. WHere does this list come from? It does not come from the
DLC website which does not have had such a list in a while. From the look of this page, it is more like an anti-DLC site.

2. Wherever it comes from it lists him as a member
Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 08:31 AM by RestoreGore
Shouldn't they then be called on it? Of course it is anti-DLC in how it explains their agenda, and then it lists Al Gore as PART of that agenda. Why do you think I'm so angry about seeing it? I've already written to tell them they are wrong for including him, and I asked others do the same, especially since he has so much support here. Is this not lying since he has claimed to no longer be affiliated with them? It also lists a link to the DLC as well, and I don't like it.

4. Oh, I agree - In fact, they are wrong to present this as a DLC list as
Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 08:34 AM by Mass
the DLC does not publish such lists. It is clearly an attempt to discredit people. I will write.

However, I was asking the question because your post implied the DLC lists Gore as one of theirs (I see you corrected that).

6. Like I stated-they need to be corrected
Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 08:39 AM by RestoreGore
They list An Inconvenient Truth as part of Al Gore's bio on this site. People who read this will now only believe he is a DLC member deceiving others about his stances. It cannot be tolerated. This issue is TOO important to be playing these BS political games.

22. Did you follow the link on the bio to "Rotten Library Page: Al Gore" ?
Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 10:24 AM by bananas
Scroll down the bio page and follow the link to "Rotten Library Page: Al Gore".
I don't think they're going to change their DLC list no matter how much you complain.

bio page: http://www.nndb.com/people/499/000023430/

Rotten Library Page:
Al Gore

links to: http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/usa/al-gore

Used his sister's death from cancer as a wedge to attack big tobacco. Later, it is revealed that the Gore family farm grew tobacco at one time.

Unhealthy connections to Armand Hammer, both Gore Jr. and Gore Sr:

"One source who has followed Gore closely for years says his parents gave him an initial as a middle name because they wanted their friend and benefactor, the controversial late industrialist Armand Hammer, to believe that their child was named for him." Montgomery County Observer.

23. I've complained anyway, because it is wrong
Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 11:26 AM by RestoreGore
I really thought more people would care that Mr. Gore is being misrepresented regarding his stances, especially regarding his movie. I suppose it really does come down to just recommending and responding to posts here that only hype an unsubstantiated 2008 run. This however, is absolutely the kind of BS people should be refuting regardless of that. I'll know better next time.

8. I am going to be investigating where this came from
Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 08:45 AM by RestoreGore
The bottom reads, "2006 Soylent Communications."

This is their frontpage where they explain what they are:

http://www.nndb.com/

However, there is no noting as to who or what backs them or where they got the information from. The link I posted then would lead people to believe they got that list from the DLC.

http://feedback.nndb.com/feedback/index.cgi?id=93987

I sent them a comment letting them know their list was incorrect.

Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 08:49 AM by Gman
the DLC gave us the first Democrat president in 12 years in 1992.

I've always thought Gore was a member of the DLC and that's not a bad thing.

18. Of course you're forgetting about Tipper's raid on music...
which really did nothing to stop kids from hearing bad lyrics, it just made them want the records with the advisory on them.

17. Yes, they did give us our first Democratic President in 12 years...
and they are still a bad influence on America. Free trade with nations that do not uphold even the most basic human rights, is immoral trade.

14. In my opinion, nndb.com is not a credible source of information.
Soylent Communications apparently is the same entity that runs Rotten.com. :thumbsdown:

That was the entire point of my posting this. People won't KNOW that by looking at it.
