Where is the misquote? The man said "I took the initiative in creating the internet". How is this misquoted - I even posted a video with a recording of Gore saying this. It is only semantics when folks use "inventing" instead of "creating". No matter, the dude said it and just as I'm sure many libs enjoy "Bushisms" (Why oh why can't he correctly pronounce N-U-C-L-E-A-R?  ), so too do I enjoy poking fun at flubs made by them. |
Well, again I hate being pushed into defending this guy, but the fact of the matter is that he
DID push through initiatives in Congress that were directly instrumental in transforming the military and educational based ARPANET/NSFNET into what we know today as the "Internet".

On March 19, 1979, Gore became the first person to appear on C-SPAN, making a speech in the House chambers.[29] In the late 1980s, Gore introduced the Gore Bill, which was later passed as the
High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991. Leonard Kleinrock, a key player in the development of the ARPANET, considers the act to be a critical moment in Internet history.[30]
