Yes, it was discussed..with a link. I provided a transcript of the show.

Except you can't even get your bit of commentary factually correct leaving the post completely without merrit. I say!

You're admitting then that Al Gore never claimed to have "invented" the Internet, but instead claimed to have used his position in Congress to help create the Internet?

[DinoDoc]

I'm actually saying that Fox had nothing to do with it.

GOP strategist Tantaros falsely claimed Al Gore "said ... he invented the Internet"

Summary: On Fox News, Republican strategist Andrea Tantaros repeated a long-debunked media falsehood, asserting, "[W]e saw with Al Gore -- he said, you know, he invented the Internet." But Gore did not say he "invented the Internet"; in an interview on CNN, he said: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

During the March 25 edition of Fox News' Studio B with Shepard Smith, Republican strategist Andrea Tantaros asserted, "[W]e saw with Al Gore -- he said, you know, he invented the Internet," repeating a long-debunked media falsehood. Tantaros continued: "Eventually voters start to question candidates when they start to make a series of inaccurate statements." Contrary to Tantaros' characterization, Gore did not say he "invented the Internet." During the March 9, 1999, interview on CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer that gave rise to the myth, Gore said: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Guest host Trace Gallagher did not challenge Tantaros' inaccurate statement.

Seriously, have you even read this thread?

[SlowwHand]

Boys, boys! Break it up, or it's "time out" for both of you. Can't you play together nicely?

I thought I settled this Gore thing. I even tried to steer the conversation back to Hillary.

You know, the topic thing...

[Imran Siddiqui]

The whole Gore thing has been discussed ad nauseum, but Clinton didn't do anything but NAFTA? Seriously? He pushed and signed welfare reform (which was actually a campaign promise from him, not something he picked up later), His 1993 budget is credited by economists with being a large factor in balancing the budget in the late 90s.

As for terrorism, Clinton increased intelligence and spending on counter terrorism that Bush slashed when he got into office.

[SlowwHand]

Think what you want.
Clinton did little against terrorist attacks, the total FUBAR in Somalia, and when you're doing nothing, no, you don't spend money.
So they test Bush big time, and we've seen the results.
Yeah, hooray Clinton.

[Imran Siddiqui]

The FUBAR in Somalia was the elder Bush's fault, btw. And the thing to do against terrorists is counter terrorism, NOT invade countries that have nothing to do with the matter and create a recruitment tool.

Don't forget that he won the Kosovo war with hardly any (if any) Americans killed.

That and welfare reform, balancing the budget (partially by the Budget Act of 1993 which lowered taxes on low income Americans and small businesses and paid for it by raising the top rate by a little over 1%), pushing through NAFTA through a Democratic majority that didn't really want it, pushed the Family and Medical Leave Act, pushed the Brady Bill, pushed for increase in the minimum wage (and got it).

Not exactly do nothing.

Look, Imran, Sloww has a need to loathe Clinton and Gore. And that's fine.
Sloww is our friend. We should respect that need.

I know the whole revisionist history thing can be disturbing. But hey, sometime you gotta let it go. Or take it to another thread.

Let's get back on topic -- Hallary for Veep?

You and Imran citing "revisionist history" is really ironic.
And Kosovo? That's your best effort?

Anyway, go back to talking about Hallary. She's a jewel.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I listed a number of accomplishments and Slow takes away "Kosovo", LOL. Yeah, Jrabbit, I guess you are right.
