Tipper came out strong against heavy metal and rap lyrics in the 80's and early 90's and got parental warning stickers put on albums and video games. That's a form of censorship because some department stores wouldn't carry products with such stickers.

I'm not sure if you call it censorship exactly, but it's borderline. This proves the Gores are not that liberal. Yes, Gore was against the war, but he had the luxury of not being in office at the time, when 75% of the country still trusted Bush and was willing to believe that attacking Iraq was the right thing to do. In fact, Bush's approvals on the war were actually at 92% at one point. Which meant most liberals supported his wasr too.

Also remember, you can't blame centrists who supported the war at first that much. Bush-Cheney were using Pat Roberts and outfoxing the New York Times in order to disseminate false intel on Saddam. All that aluminum tubes and Atta in Prague business was part of the official line. And at that point most Americans saluted the leadership without question. That's why Joe Wilson was such a big deal. He was the first to say the Emperor had no clothes. And they tried to destroy him for it.
