Talk:Tipper Gore

message: As it is now, it looks like a whitewash of her role, and of the PMRC. The Wikipedia article on PMRC does better explain that a major goal of what they were trying to accomplish, was censorship of music with sexual, violent and "occult" themes. Not just "awareness", as is currently implied by this article. I'm not going to do this, but I hope someone will in the future, there is a lot of sources both inside and outside of Wikipedia that will help with that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.232.2.174 (talk) 16:39, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: The PMRC section should be more accurate

message: It is well known that Tipper Gore endorsed a right-wing organization that espoused anti-Semitism in the name of protecting children from obscenity.  Why does it have nothing to do with her, and why is it only implying impropriety by association? If she does not agreee with the position espoused by  the organization, she should have been more careful before endorsing it.  Karlap (talk) 00:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The sole example of calling the Star of David "an occult symbol" does not at all constitute espousing antisemitism. I can find no further information about Back in Control beyond what is printed in your reference, and there is no evidence that this organization fosters antisemitism beyond this one example, which for all we know could have been a misprint on their part or a misunderstanding. Not withstanding the fact that this one paragraph in a single work gives undo weight to the implication that Tipper Gore is as well an antisemite, and undo weight to a Jewish publication's assertion of antisemitism based on a singular piece of evidence; the book is simply pointing out how damaging the headline's implication was but does not verify the headline in anyway. Without further evidence of a strong connection between Mrs. Gore and Back in Control, and further proof that this organization is in fact antisemitic, it is nothing more than speculative and indeed implies impropriety by association.

replies: text: First of all, you're right; the organization is not Take Back Control, but Back In Control, or the Back In Control Center. I have provided an alternative reference clarifying Gore's position. This issue has been raised by many critics of Gore and the PMRC, including Jello Biafra and Frank Zappa.  More than one customer review of her book on Amazon mentions it. Perhaps Back In Control warrents an article of its own, and this information would be more appropriate there.Karlap (talk) 22:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Back In Control

message: Tipper's six key demands:
# Print lyrics on album covers.
# Establish a "blandness index" and then ban any album that wasn't sufficiently blend.
# Keep explicit covers under the counter.
# Establish a ratings system for records similar to that for films.
# Ban the use of the words "cock "boobs" and "pilchards and gristle" in lyrics.
# Establish a ratings system for concerts, i.e. tightness of performers trousers, length of pubic wig, etc.
# Reassess the contracts of performers who fail to engage in violence and explicit sexual behavior onstage.
# Establish a citizen and record-company media watch that would pressure broadcasters not to air "questionable-talent."
# Ask a special coalition made up from the Pope, The Dalai Llama and Simon Cowell to determine what was "questionable"

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article said that is was the wife of Al Gore. That is incorrect. They are separated, not divorced. Separated people are still married, so she still is the wife of Gore, albeit estranged. A personally only becomes "was"   when the marriage is formally ended, which requires divorce. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 03:02, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
