  How could he oppose what he could not vote on….sounds just like Gore saying he ‘created the initiative for the internet’.

  Kaus: “How could he oppose what he could not vote on?” You’re not really that thick, are you? He could oppose it the same way I opposed it, and I couldn’t vote on it either. You’re saying that only members of Congress could oppose the Iraq war? I’m not surprised, then, that you’re also sticking with that stupid theory that Gore has claimed more credit for the Internet than he deserves (when all the evidence — I mean ALL the evidence — indicates that he does deserve such credit). I have a question for you, Kaus: Do you regularly send along fact-free comments just to goad me? Please don’t tell me that you actually believe such drivel.

  Dude, Gore passed a bill beneficial to the Internet. He gets my acknowledgement of that. But he is also the blowhard that said on CNN that said “I took the initiative in creating the internet” in front of Wolf Blitzer and millions of viewers. That is a FACT. He’s a blow hard.

  Obama on the other hand could not vote on any war initiative, could not read any secret documents relating to the war to formulate an educated opinion. He too is a blow hard…of hope.

  By that logic Kaus, only government officials with access to “secret documents” should have any opinion on any serious foreign policy issue. Actually there are many in government who would like the public to believe that. That way, they have no accountability. This is how dictatorships operate.

  Wasn’t that speech given here in Rockford?

  Besides what evidence? the ones they made up or the “big” security failure?

  Actually, that Obama speech against the war was delivered at a rally in downtown Chicago on Oct. 2, 2002. But there is an indirect Rockford connection. I think I recognize one of the guys in the crowd as Bob Howard, who was the plaintiffs’ attorney in the People Who Care desegregation suit against the Rockford School District.
