"Vote Reality"
19 October 2004In a speech sponsored by MoveOn.org, Al Gore accuses Bush of masking "'the most radical effort in American history to take what rightfully belongs to the American people and give as much as possible to the already wealthy and privileged,'" in "'the symbolism and body language of religion,'" reports Michael Janofsky of The New York Times. Gore accused the president of misleading true believers with "'phony moral authority,'" and rooted his "troubling inflexibility" in political ideology rather than faith. Drawing on Ron Suskind's recent Times article, the former V.P. then urged the audience to support Kerry: "'a proud member of the reality-based community.'" Republican operatives dismissed Gore's speech as evidence of a "pre-9/11 worldview."
