Um... he stated where he was going with it. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/03/2011 07:30:02 PM
which is the problem with using opposition snippets to judge what someone else said. From the comment Isaac posted

Mother Nature has again given us a sign that that is what we need to do

I don't think it is completely unreasonable to think he is linking the two. What other "sign" from Mother nature is he referring to?

His "legitimate question" about whether "environmentalists" will cheer damage to the Japanese auto industry or "pretend to be saddened" by the tsunamis effects, remember? The comment you quoted doesn't identify what "sign" it's speaking of, nor even what "that" it is that we should do, so we need the preceeding and succeeding statements to know the speakers meaning; Rushs statement suffers from no such ambiguity.

So, how many drugs is Rush Limbaugh actually on? Camilla - 16/03/2011 08:30:25 AM 914 Views
Possibly different ones then the EESC president Isaac - 16/03/2011 03:58:41 PM 822 Views
No one's blaming the earthquake or tsunami on global warming. Joel - 16/03/2011 04:22:52 PM 625 Views
Actually people have Isaac - 16/03/2011 04:31:37 PM 774 Views
Which people? Where? Example? Joel - 16/03/2011 06:48:10 PM 793 Views

Republican spin doctor Frank Luntz popularized "climate change" to make global warming appealing. Joel - 18/03/2011 01:56:01 PM 699 Views
A slightly misleading post snoopcester - 16/03/2011 07:41:46 PM 715 Views
Surprised? *NM* Camilla - 16/03/2011 08:59:35 PM 302 Views
Not completely. *NM* snoopcester - 16/03/2011 09:13:48 PM 262 Views
Kind of missed the point there Isaac - 16/03/2011 09:54:35 PM 706 Views
If you link the transcript I'll look at it. Joel - 16/03/2011 10:16:21 PM 592 Views

" I can't help attaching, you know, political reaction to this". Yeah, we noticed.... Joel - 16/03/2011 11:10:11 PM 735 Views

Fair enough. Joel - 17/03/2011 12:08:13 AM 668 Views

No worries. Joel - 17/03/2011 12:48:44 AM 907 Views
I've read the transcript snoopcester - 16/03/2011 10:34:41 PM 737 Views
Re: I've read the transcript Isaac - 16/03/2011 10:46:42 PM 643 Views
You need to reread what I said snoopcester - 16/03/2011 10:49:45 PM 611 Views
No, I think you're still missing my point Isaac - 16/03/2011 11:09:04 PM 685 Views
Perhaps snoopcester - 16/03/2011 11:26:37 PM 742 Views
Okay, I'm done Isaac - 16/03/2011 11:37:58 PM 640 Views
Seriously, you need to pick a better example to make your point Helene - 18/03/2011 05:00:10 PM 622 Views
No. You don't get to say, "what he said doesn't matter because of how we learned of it". Joel - 16/03/2011 11:54:46 PM 641 Views
I told you, I'm done in this thread Isaac - 16/03/2011 11:59:08 PM 604 Views
Acknowledged (though I'd not seen that response yet, sorry). Joel - 17/03/2011 12:11:58 AM 656 Views
I think Republicans should stop using "legitimate". I do not think it means what they think it means Joel - 16/03/2011 04:11:14 PM 735 Views
there are enough carzies on the left to make things like this easy for Rush random thoughts - 16/03/2011 04:20:47 PM 681 Views
So it doesn't matter that no one said it as long as he can plausibly claim they did. Joel - 16/03/2011 06:58:17 PM 606 Views
well since it is taken out of context it is hard to say where Rush was going with it random thoughts - 16/03/2011 07:19:46 PM 706 Views
Um... he stated where he was going with it. Joel - 16/03/2011 07:30:02 PM 673 Views
At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard random thoughts - 16/03/2011 08:17:39 PM 615 Views
It's the same standard, whatever you choose to believe. Joel - 16/03/2011 09:08:01 PM 740 Views
I don't thinkit is as clear as you make it out to be random thoughts - 16/03/2011 09:31:53 PM 630 Views
It is not just "possible" he's talking about islands affected by global warming; he says it outright Joel - 16/03/2011 10:09:16 PM 795 Views
Sorry but I still fail to see how the islands he mention are a sign of what needs to be done random thoughts - 16/03/2011 10:27:20 PM 671 Views
Hey, guys! Isaac - 16/03/2011 10:55:07 PM 567 Views
and how its that different than what I said? *NM* random thoughts - 16/03/2011 11:14:46 PM 256 Views
Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless. Joel - 16/03/2011 11:28:47 PM 745 Views
lets throw a little context at asnd see if it matters random thoughts - 17/03/2011 12:12:03 AM 635 Views
Yes: It makes it worse. Joel - 17/03/2011 12:45:12 AM 638 Views
no it shows that the one statements was not meant to be taken literally random thoughts - 17/03/2011 02:47:55 AM 668 Views
At best, it shows he was joking about something he believes to be fact despite lacking evidence. Joel - 18/03/2011 02:24:45 PM 728 Views
so you finally agre that the context changes the meaning, took you long enough random thoughts - 18/03/2011 02:33:41 PM 614 Views
Re: At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard Camilla - 16/03/2011 09:22:37 PM 759 Views
maybe he heard that they were blaming it on Pearl Harbor *NM* random thoughts - 16/03/2011 10:14:59 PM 244 Views
