Gore Compares Climate Change to Civil Rights Fight. Let The Misquoting Begin?

Will Al Gore’s history of being misquoted continue after his latest comments comparing deniers of climate change with 20th century racists?
If you examine his comments ranging from the claims that he said he “invented” the Internet to the fact that he proclaimed that he was part of the inspiration for the book, Love Story, you will see a constant pattern of Gore being one of the most misquoted politicians of the last two decades.
Has Al Gore dodged his crisis?

The Oregon police looking into the allegations that Al Gore groped a massage therapist have decided to drop the case because of a “lack of evidence.” The woman isn’t talking any more. Even the National Inquirer is being tight-lipped (they broke the story). Gore’s spokesperson put out a statement re-affirming innocence and applauding the police’s conclusion. While I was initially critical of Gore’s silence on this matter when it broke, it now looks like the matter will soon be forgotten and Gore’s reputation will remain intact. Gore’s brand as a speaker and spokesperson will suffer no long-term damage from the incident, though his enemies will forever think of him as the “sex-crazed poodle.”
