Supporting the extension of the internet isn't even close to "inventing" it. Wow! After all this, somebody's *still* putting "inventing" in quotes. We already saw the real quote: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." |

Are you deliberately flipping the words around or are you typing a bit too fast for your mind to see what you are writing? At no time did Gore say "I invented the internet". I think you meant to write 'Wow, after all this someone doesn't understand that in the context Gore used "creating" (SIC) is synonymous with "inventing".' One more time, in the context of the discussion in which it was said it's obvious he was talking about his efforts to promote and fund the concept of the internet through his office in congress. Right wing blowhards view it as their job to pick apart or misconstrue everything possible that opposition candidates say so as to portray them in the worst light possible. They've gotten very good at it, and Gore was regretibly adept at giving them fodder to rip up. So what are you building, Sport Pilot? Corky Scott |

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." -- *plonk* |

While true, it doesn't matter because there was no initiative involved on his part. The bigger part of the lie was saying that he did something to help the Internet when no one else was. The truth is he took no initiative and didn’t create anything. If he had looked into the Internet and saw something worth promoting and then done something about it, that would have been initiative. All he did was jump on the bandwagon that some one else got rolling. It might have been worth saying so but he had to try and make it into more than it was. Tony |

You mispelt "in the context Gore used "creating" is synonymous with "politically supporting". Unless of course, you were _deliberately_ attempting to mislead the unwashed masses. -- FF |
