Gore is no socialist.... sheeshhh... Americans just have no real concept of
socialism... you toss around ideas of public health and a few public programs
and see Little Lenins crawling out the woodwork. I suppose this lack of clarity
on the issue is understandable considering the fact that our basic schools are
forbidden from even mentioning the word Marx.. unless you are talking about the
three brothers.

Socialism and Facism certainly can "meet" one another in the mirror when they
become so extreme that these terms in essence loose there definition and simply
become extremist.
