CNN's Dobbs Mocks Gore for Likening Global Warming Alarmism to Civil Rights Legislation of the 1960s

Newsbusters: For CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” host Lou Dobbs, there was some irony in that remark, being that Gore’s father was a longtime senator from Tennessee that voted against civil rights legislation.



“Well, as you just heard Lisa [Sylvester] report, the former vice president claimed that this climate change legislation has the moral significance or equivalence of the civil rights legislation of the ’60s and the Marshall Plans,” Dobbs said. “Well, an interesting note – Gore’s father, Senator Al Gore, Sr., like many southern Democrats at the time voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”
