And INITIATIVE is NOT a synonym for invented!As I have shown so many times before, when lying scum Right-wingers get caught lying, they just keep on lying.BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!While the Right credits Gore with "inventing" the internet, his influence in the creation is undeniable, Gore himself modestly takes credit for nothing more than arranging the funding of its development while he served in Congress.Al Gore also invented the internet.
He's actually defending Gore's claim to be the father of the internet!
As you well know, Gore NEVER said he was the father of the internet, that lie was coined by a lying scum Right-winger named Declan McCullagh.
Al Gore had seen what happened with the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956, which his father introduced as a military bill. It was very powerful. Housing went up, suburban boom happened, everybody became mobile. Al was attuned to the power of networking much more than any of his elective colleagues. His initiatives led directly to the commercialization of the Internet. So he really does deserve credit.

So -- did he do it?
Did Al Gore create the Internet?
The vice president's recent comment that he "took the initiative in creating the Internet" opened Gore up for wide derision, because the global computer network had its beginnings more than 25 years ago.
Former vice president Dan Quayle (R) scoffed to a reporter that "if Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell-check." Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) countered that he had invented the paper clip. Despite the partisan mirth, many of the researchers and venerated propeller-heads who did have a hand in the Internet's creation said Gore deserves substantial credit for passing a number of bills that boosted supercomputing and high-speed communications networks, which in turn helped create the Internet as it exists today.
David J. Farber, a professor of computer science at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the early players in the Internet, said that along with the importance of his legislative initiatives, Gore popularized the emerging medium worldwide. Gore aligned himself with high tech long before every lawmaker boasted of his or her personal Web site. He helped popularize the term "information superhighway," drawing on the symbolism of his father's hand in creating the interstate highway system.
Vinton G. Cerf, a senior vice president at MCI Worldcom and the person most often called "the father of the Internet" for his part in designing the network's common computer language, said in an e-mail interview yesterday, "I think it is very fair to say that the Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the vice president in his current role and in his earlier role as senator."
The co-author of a history of the online world, "Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet," agreed. Katie Hafner said people have been haggling over the true beginnings of the network for decades. "As we all know, there are many paternity claims on the Internet. That's a given, because it's so successful. But there are so many people who did at least one pivotal thing in either creating the network, or encouraging the use of the network, or bringing the network to the public -- and Gore was one of those people."
When lying scum Left-wingers get caught lying, you just keep on lying.
Al Gore: "I took the initiative in creating the internet"
Created is a synonym of invented, dumb ass.
And what's even funnier is that the father of the internet doesn't know the difference between the internet and the web. The internet has been around since circa 1960, he meant to take credit for inventing the web.
You and Gore are a couple of dumb asses
Another pathological liar taking the quote out of context even after I posted the entire quote, proving the lying scum Right will always lie in the face of the truth.
I didn't say "initiative" was a synonym for invented, I said "created" is a synonym for invented.
WTF? What is wrong with you? It was a simple sentence, EdTheLemur, what is wrong with you? Seriously?
