This turns out to be a false impression Rich. In case you missed it
I'm reposting this relevant information:

Corky,

Don't the verbs that are used in these articles bother you? He promoted, he
argued, he urged, he talked ... These aren't doing verbs and it's not like
there was opposition to what he was saying. There's no great political
courage here. He grabbed a safe topic and made it a center of his political
career. Later, running for president, he promoted himself for taking this
safe position. As you can see from the discussion going on in this group,
that's not the kind of thing that impresses people.

The point about Gore is that he claimed to start legislation to create
the internet. But the legislation did nothing to create a sysetem
already in use two decades before the legislation came out.

IMO Gore meant to say he created the World Wide Web. Which would be
another lie, but at least he wouldn't have been as stupid.

Well, he did not claim that either. What existed at the time that
Gore began his support was not the internet as we know it today, but
Gore apparently could see it's potential, and that's what he was
trying to promote.

This person says it better than I can, but I have a feeling that you
are determined to believe that Gore fully intended to brag that he and
he alone invented the internet despite the substantial evidence to the
contrary:

Corkey,
The internet was in wide use in the 80's. Hell I used a card reader
in the early 70's that was plugged into a mainframe from a branch of a
university to the main univercity via the internet. The internet is
simply a network that is cordinated via routers. It is not the
software that is on the internet. Gore later said that he helped write
a bill that promoted the World Wide Web, computers for servers and a
search engine for that graphical interface. Before that the internet
was mostly character based like the first MS-Dos computers. But Gore
claimed he created the internet which was created two decades before he
got involved.

No, he didn't say that no matter how many times you claim he did.

The people is obviously bias. I see no diferance in saying "I invented
the internet" and "I took the initiative to create the internet".

That is because you do not understand, or choose to misrepresent,
plain English.

Since he was obviously talking about creating a single internet network
or line, as with a highway system, to create and invent is the same
thing.

No, he was obviously talking about taking the initiative in moving
forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important
to our country's economic growth and environmental protection,
improvements in our educational system.

Why is that obvious? Becuase tht is just what he said, that's why.

Fred, Gore did say "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." There
are plenty of cites for this up thread. Hell, even Corky admits he said
that.

That's even more preposterous that SP's idiocy.

I suppose you are one of those claiming 1013 productions was trying to
fool the public into believing that the X-Files were true stories
because they began each episode with the caption "The truth is out
there."

How convenient. You sure your dog didnt eat them?


There's something wrong with a person that does this. It's acceptable
in a child but not after the age of ten.


Like, the proof exists I just can't find it is mature?

Then you do not understand the explanation. If you did, you would
undstand taht eisenhower would not have been lying.


But it is moot because he never said that. If he
had you most likely would have seen the left wing making fun of him,
since he didn't say it you cannot prove that they would not have.

But
one thing is for sure he wouldn't have said that he invented paved
roads, which is tantamount to what Gore said.

No, that is not tatmount to what Gore said. It isn't even at all
like what Gore said.

Close. He claims to have pushed the legislatino forward, not initiated
it. Evidenlty he was refering the Web, incorrectly, and the internet.
Actually if you think about it, a lot of people do. Some, like
GWB, even claim there are multiple internets.


IMO Gore meant to say he created the World Wide Web.

No, that is not your opinion. Obviously you are lying about you
opinon.
