Entrapping Schemas, Gore, and the Internet

If you doubt that those 4 words were not enough to kill Gore in 2000
read this:

And the myth is still alive. You can read it in blogs and MSM reporters still include it in their "reports".

If you find it fight it.

Gore wanted average people like us to have access to the Net and worked like hell to achieve that goal when most didn't even care or worse, wanted to block his efforts.
And what did he get for it?
Slander.
This cannot stand!
