Al Gore Accused of "Unwanted Sexual Contact" in 2006, Authorities Say

Gill said:
I have never heard of the organization you quoted. My number came from a research paper from the Canadian Medical Association. Perhaps fewer women report sexual assaults in Canada than in the U.S., but I can't see that much discrepancy. And the paper is reporting data from the 1990s, so maybe things have improved in the past 10 years.

By the way, you so-called proof proves nothing.

Yes it does prove more woman have came forward, and the fact that your source is from the 1990s.


The stats that I provided are from 1999- present
The information that I gave you were from these below

This quote is not from the "court papers filed in the lawsuit." Beyond this, any court papers she's filed contain only McNulty's claims which have yet to be verified. What is verified is the emails she sent to Hyder and the testimony of those who worked with her at the time. They're pretty damning, don't you think?

Yes, those words ARE in the lawsuit. Have you read the filing?? Wait, I already know the answer to that.

I don't like to read between the lines because that puts words in people's mouths, so please clarify. Are you claiming that someone in this thread declared Gore to be guilty of this accusation? If that isn't what you said then what DID you say?

Eeesh. The whole story seems a bit strange - her lawyer went to the police in 2006 to complain of a sexual assault, but never did anything about it. Then she herself talked to the police in 2009, but the police never went forward with it. Now in 2010, she's...doing what exactly? It's not clear what precipitated this story.

Either way, the National Enquirer once again breaks a story. Pretty damn impressive.

Right after the break up with Tipper? Not likely - probably just some dumb bitch who wants her 15 seconds of fame. Just like how I don't buy most of those bitches who claimed to have sex with Tiger Woords. Why do this chicks always wait until these dudes have are in some kind of scandal, before they come out with their allegations?

Try reading.
 
I wonder if Tipper's legal team wants to knock down Al's reputation a peg or two before going into divorce court.
 
The idea of giving Al Gore a massage - and then having him moan while I do it - is revolting.
I'd've run screaming from the room.

how the hell she stayed around to finish the job - even after it got worse - is amazing.

LOL

When you're dealing with people with connections, you wonder if you'll end up like Vincent Foster.
Or your character will be assasinated.

What chance did Paula Jones have in Arkansas? Really.
If it wasn't for the blue dress, they would have destroyed her and Lewinsky.
In fact they just started to rev up the character assisination machine on Lewinsky when the blue dress came out (no pun intended). Too bad it didn't emerge even a week later; Clinton would have not only been impeached for lying under oath, but the D's would have had no choice but to remove The Clintons from office.



Caught this after making the above post.
The problem is, is it is relevant to the question asked.
The Clintons are a perfect example of why one would wait to report.

Have you thought of whom we would then have ended up with as President?
 
Gill said:
Yes, it seems stilted, but I believe this would be normal under the circumstances.

The whole thing is weird to me, just like:

  • Clinton groping women and demanding sexual favors
  • Dick Morris sucking hookers' toes
  • Larry Craig playing footsie in the men's room

Like I said earlier, when men obtain this much power and status, many feel they can take whatever they wish.

I understand what you are saying but I cannot say, just because they did it then he did it. I do think that men in position of power may assume that they can have anything that they want but I do not think that would necessaily lead to assualt. I would think that there is a lot of low hanging fruit out there that would be much easier to pick.

Also - your examples include 2 that were entirely consensual - Morris and Craig - and another where there were accusuations but no convictions - as far as I know.

I think that it is one thing to cheat, womanize, engage in unsafe sexual practices, etc... and a very different thing to engage in sexual assualt and/or harrasment.
 
From the NY Post this morning> Poor girl... she seems absolutely devastated:

Al Gore 'abuse' masseuse eyes $1M to talk

A masseuse who accused Al Gore of being a "crazed sex poodle" and of groping her in a hotel room is preparing to come forward and sell her story -- for $1 million.

Sources tell Page Six the so-far unidentified Oregon woman is ready to publicly reveal herself and heap more embarrassment on the former vice president in return for a seven-figure media deal. And she intends to use the pants she wore on the night of the alleged incident -- supposedly stained with Gore's DNA and stored in a bank safety-deposit box -- as evidence against Gore, who recently split with wife Tipper.

Al GoreA source told us, "She's ready to come forward and sell the story with even more salacious details. But she wants $1 million. Her attorney is shopping for a deal, and while there are many media outlets interested, there are negotiations going on because the price tag is way too high."

You could very well be right about her... but

What will you say if Gore's DNA IS on her pants?

Will you continue to make excuses for him? or denounce him as at best a jerk, or at worst a sexual predator.

Maybe it is there because she gave him a happy ending. Maybe because he forced her to. The way it is playing out now it looks like she just wants money. That doesn't mean they shouldn't look into it, but her story is very shaky and I doubt it will go anywhere because of that.

THAT is the real question. That and the fact that she went for money instead of criminal charges.

What's the chance of Gore getting convicted of rape? And how would an acquittal benefit a victim? People will blame her for breaking up the Gore marriage.

It could have consentually got there.

Bottom line, she does not seem to be troubled by it all, nor does her side of things seem completely truthful.

Obviously not.
 
Doesn't Debate Politics have a "basement"?
This is where this thread belongs!
Same with the one on Sarah Palin.
Some people here seem to revel in the misfortunes or fortunes of others, those with fame and notoriety. These "people" belong in the sewers from whence they came.

No one is "making excuses" for anyone. His semen being present somewhere isn't indicative of him having sexually assaulted her. It's only indicative of him being aroused. It's quite likely they had sex as two consenting adults. Big deal.

She's not claiming rape. She's not even pressing charges. She's running around trying to see how much money she can make off it.
 
Gore, Clinton, Edwards, Kerry, Dean, Obama........

Boy, those Dems know how to pick em some presidential candidates. LOL

What about Al Gore's Character? Many posters seem to be attacking the woman who spilled the beans on Al. Is Al Gore NPD, Narcisisitic Pesonality Disorder?

Seems Al does not understand the meaning of the word "No." The unidentified massuesse had been able to give many massages, in which she successfully set limits for male client behavior. Through a combination of intimidation and charm, Al was able to drive the unidentified masseuse to wanting to try to get away from his room without seeming to be getting him upset. The Massuese received no money for her time, from the hotel or Al, and no tip.

Now that Tipper is divorcing Al, it seems to be good character, for any OTHER WOMEN, to point out that Al is not the sweet innocent guy that many of us imagine, with romancing Tipper. Is Al the upstanding husband that many of us would like to believe? Is the divorce with Tipper really mutual, or is Al just a carousing drunk, and Tipper has had enough?

I never imagined or "liked to believe" anything of the sort. In fact, I gave it absolutely no thought whatsoever since who he has sex with is irrelevant to... well... anything that actually matters.
 
i suppose i should care what gore did or is accused of doing. but i don't.
 
so you keep quoting the criminal, liddy. high morals.

Liddy showed strength of character by refusing to give information about the Watergate Plumbers. It was a crime to refuse to testify, and Liddy spent time in jail, while refusing to testify. Not to mention that Liddy alludes to the idea that he received death threats while in DC jail, in his book on the Watergate.

There is a moral principle, that when a session with a massuese is agreed upon, that what goes on in the massage session is private, and that the massuese and her client will keep what occurred private. So the unidentified massuese who gave Al Gore a massage, and then divulged the private details of the massage to the police and the National Enquirer, betrayed the ordinary trust that should exist between a masseuse and the client. Did Al Gore's behavior justify the breach of confidentiality by the unidentified masseuse?

How many times did Al Gore check into hotels registered as Mr. Stone? Is there some type of crime for cheking into a hotel under a false name? Everything is so over-criminalized these days, that there is probably a violation of some law in falsely registering for a hotel room. Did Al have a false ID for Mr. Stone?
