Steven Marks, the guy behind this "new" group, has been lurking around since at least four years ago. Saying some of the same things about Gore!

The Americans Against Hate ad, which is running at the same time as the NAACP ad, attacks Gore for his past dealings with Sharpton. The ad shows footage of Gore defending a private meeting he had with Sharpton in February, and urging his audience to "not be so quick to completely dismiss what has to say."
American Against Hate alleges that Sharpton, among other things, once praised Adolph Hitler as "a great man." The ad also shows video footage of Sharpton urging college students to kill police officers.
"We're trying to get these ads out between now and the election to spread the word that the hate in this country is not on the right but on the left," said Stephen Marks, a spokesman for the group. According to Marks, the group is mainly funded by a few big dollar contributors from Tennessee.
