Need a response to a Freeper type on Al Gore
I did a quick search on google and it seems that the rumor of Al Gore driving a Ford Expedition are not true - it was a rumor started by Limbaugh, but has no truth to it.

Am I correct in this?

Thanks

2. Response to a Freeper
Shake a shiny object, then throw it just over his head. While he is distracted, make your exit.

7. Respond... Wealthy people drive nice vehicles. He also lives in a big house
that does not mean hs isn't trying to change our society so that it is less harmful to the environment.



If he lived like Ed Begley Jr. all the RWers would attack him for that too.

14. If the freeper has evidence otherwise, it's up to him to provide it.
Al Gore's own words from his own mouth trump anything from a RW celebutard.
