bias - 10 dictionary results
Here are 10 definitions of bias. Maybe the powers that be should brush up a little. Because a different standard is applied to posters from the Right political spectrum than is used to judge the Left spectrum posters. I have been called IGNORANT, RACIST, STUPID, CUNT, WHITE TRASH,MORON, TROLL, and many other choice nouns. When I finally flag someone it is denied, but after being harassed for days by three people, I call one of them a Moron and I get flagged and reprimanded. This shows the stinky double standard that the Left uses everyday in our society. And exactly why OBAMA should not be PRESIDENT. We can't have a RACIST LEFT WINGER in THE WHITE HOUSE. The President of The United States of America has to be impartial. Barrack Hussein Obama is not impartial. He believes that our fundamental form of Government is flawed. IT ISN'T, HE IS.

First of all, I doubt Al Gore is doing lot of the post checking on Current.com...
Look nobamagirl, I can understand your frustration if you were really reprimanded while those who have said inappropriate things to you have not been, but honestly, with all the closed-minded, one-sided, unfounded, inflammatory and sometimes flat out rude and ridiculous things you post on here, do you really think you're not going to get hit with backlash? You're ignorant and mean to people, and you shouldn't be surprised when they give it back to you.
Personally, given the nature of this site, I think everyone should be able to speak entirely freely on here, regardless of their opinions (or the way they choose to express them). Having said that, there are plenty of posters that need to grow up a little and let this be a place for dialogue, not diatribe. A little civility never hurt anyone (or any cause).

Yes, true this site is very biased ... and I think everything in the Clinton administration was warped... Then when Gore lost his bid for presidency, he totally sounded and looked whacked out! So bias is not surprising on such a left winged site/tv/media. Double standard.

I do expect more from our former Vice President. He used to have integrity. I liked Al Gore, during the Clinton years he was the only thing about the administration you could respect.

You go nobo grrl! I'm not sure that you should expect anything else from a media outlet created by Al Gore, but I agree with you.
