In the last couple of weeks, much ado has been made of Al Gore’s “inconvenient” utility bills. Dug up by a local free-market group, the bills reveal that Gore’s Nashville home uses about 20 times more juice than the national average. “Hypocrite!,” the neo-cons decried. They say that the global warming crusader isn’t, “living the lifestyle that he advocates.”
Such criticisms are the oldest smear tactic in the book. Can’t argue your opponent’s position – undermine his credibility.
