[quote:Anonymous Coward 32069520:MV8yMTQzMDc2XzM2MTk1MjQxXzg2MjE2QzU=] http://nofrakkingconsensus.com/2013/02/11/about-those-tobacco-connections/ Back in 1996, the New York Times reported that, six years after Al Gore’s sister had died of lung cancer, he himself “was still accepting campaign contributions from tobacco interests.” In 1999, it revealed that Gore’s “top media adviser,” Carter Eskew, helped design a $40 million advertising blitz for the big tobacco companies during the Congressional fight over Federal anti-tobacco legislation…[Eskew] is not the only member of the Gore team with tobacco ties. Tina Flournoy, Mr. Gore’s finance director, is a former Philip Morris executive, and Jonathan Tisch, one of his top fund-raisers in New York, is a top executive at the Loews Corporation, the parent company of Lorillard Tobacco. On the campaign trail back in 1988, Gore couldn’t boast loudly enough about the central role tobacco has played in his life: Throughout most of my life, I’ve raised tobacco…I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my life, I put it in the plant beds and transferred it. I’ve hoed it. I’ve chopped it. I’ve shredded it, spiked it, put it in the barn and stripped it and sold it. [bold added] QP = IDIOT! :stupthrd: [/quote]
