Wow, this is some devious crap. When did RN say he'd vote for Bush? The distortion of the Roe v Wade quote is sloppy coming from an alleged scholar. And what's this "irresponsible...inflammatory" nonsense? Seems courageous to me, given the standards of American politics.
By the way, fairness dictates I say this: there's a quote making the rounds that looks like Gore's endorsement of Clarence Thomas. In fact, it's taken out of context, from a speech on the Senate floor that was mostly critical. And it's also being claimed by some Naderites that Gore and Lieberman voted to confirm THomas. They didn't.
