A slightly misleading post snoopcester Send a noteboard - 16/03/2011 07:41:46 PM
It sounded like you were coming up with an example proving Limbaugh's claim

The earthquake and tsunami will clearly have a severe impact on the economic and social activities of the region. Some islands affected by climate change have been hit. Has not the time come to demonstrate on solidarity – not least solidarity in combating and adapting to climate change and global warming? Mother Nature has again given us a sign that that is what we need to do.


but clearly this doesn't, unless one ignores the key sentence in that paragraph which is the one before your bolding and is central to the context.
*MySmiley*

Robert Graves "There is no money in poetry, but then there is no poetry in money, either."

Henning Mankell "We must defend the open society, because if we start locking our doors, if we let fear decide, the person who committed the act of terror will win"

So, how many drugs is Rush Limbaugh actually on? Camilla - 16/03/2011 08:30:25 AM 945 Views
Possibly different ones then the EESC president Isaac - 16/03/2011 03:58:41 PM 871 Views
No one's blaming the earthquake or tsunami on global warming. Joel - 16/03/2011 04:22:52 PM 656 Views
Actually people have Isaac - 16/03/2011 04:31:37 PM 807 Views
Which people? Where? Example? Joel - 16/03/2011 06:48:10 PM 831 Views

Republican spin doctor Frank Luntz popularized "climate change" to make global warming appealing. Joel - 18/03/2011 01:56:01 PM 736 Views

Surprised? *NM* Camilla - 16/03/2011 08:59:35 PM 318 Views
Not completely. *NM* snoopcester - 16/03/2011 09:13:48 PM 285 Views
Kind of missed the point there Isaac - 16/03/2011 09:54:35 PM 754 Views
If you link the transcript I'll look at it. Joel - 16/03/2011 10:16:21 PM 626 Views

" I can't help attaching, you know, political reaction to this". Yeah, we noticed.... Joel - 16/03/2011 11:10:11 PM 771 Views

Fair enough. Joel - 17/03/2011 12:08:13 AM 703 Views
Re: Fair enough. Isaac - 17/03/2011 12:37:12 AM 681 Views
No worries. Joel - 17/03/2011 12:48:44 AM 940 Views
I've read the transcript snoopcester - 16/03/2011 10:34:41 PM 772 Views
Re: I've read the transcript Isaac - 16/03/2011 10:46:42 PM 677 Views
You need to reread what I said snoopcester - 16/03/2011 10:49:45 PM 647 Views
No, I think you're still missing my point Isaac - 16/03/2011 11:09:04 PM 720 Views
Perhaps snoopcester - 16/03/2011 11:26:37 PM 785 Views
Okay, I'm done Isaac - 16/03/2011 11:37:58 PM 674 Views
Seriously, you need to pick a better example to make your point Helene - 18/03/2011 05:00:10 PM 650 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 696 Views
I told you, I'm done in this thread Isaac - 16/03/2011 11:59:08 PM 636 Views
Acknowledged (though I'd not seen that response yet, sorry). Joel - 17/03/2011 12:11:58 AM 692 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 780 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 717 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 639 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 736 Views
Um... he stated where he was going with it. Joel - 16/03/2011 07:30:02 PM 708 Views
At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard random thoughts - 16/03/2011 08:17:39 PM 648 Views
It's the same standard, whatever you choose to believe. Joel - 16/03/2011 09:08:01 PM 772 Views
I don't thinkit is as clear as you make it out to be random thoughts - 16/03/2011 09:31:53 PM 670 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 837 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 706 Views
Hey, guys! Isaac - 16/03/2011 10:55:07 PM 601 Views
and how its that different than what I said? *NM* random thoughts - 16/03/2011 11:14:46 PM 272 Views
Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless. Joel - 16/03/2011 11:28:47 PM 780 Views
lets throw a little context at asnd see if it matters random thoughts - 17/03/2011 12:12:03 AM 671 Views
Yes: It makes it worse. Joel - 17/03/2011 12:45:12 AM 672 Views
no it shows that the one statements was not meant to be taken literally random thoughts - 17/03/2011 02:47:55 AM 698 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 777 Views
so you finally agre that the context changes the meaning, took you long enough random thoughts - 18/03/2011 02:33:41 PM 649 Views
Re: At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard Camilla - 16/03/2011 09:22:37 PM 789 Views
maybe he heard that they were blaming it on Pearl Harbor *NM* random thoughts - 16/03/2011 10:14:59 PM 278 Views
