Uh, isn't that what I was doing? And who said anything about extremists, or even the far-right? You silly person.
PS. You seem angry about something, you really should try not to get so worked up, for all you know I could be a raving "far-right extremist" just like you. We could go to hippy lynchings together after sunday services and maybe have time to witchhunt a few commies and be home in time for tea.

The fact is, Gore has been misquoted deliberatley and repeatedly by the supporters of the right-wing, and cleverly too, as funny mis-quotes that make someone look stupid are bound to circulate endlessly on the internet until they are seen so often they become accepted as fact. Since the internet allows any uninformed pleb off the street to tell the world the latest gossip, populism rules over accuracy.
