Seriously, you need to pick a better example to make your point Helene Send a noteboard - 18/03/2011 05:00:10 PM
Yes, soundbites give limited information and can be very misleading when taken out of context.

However, your example is rather poor, as Rush Limbaugh's quote within context is no different from the quote as Camilla posted it.

So, how many drugs is Rush Limbaugh actually on? - 16/03/2011 08:30:25 AM 996 Views
Possibly different ones then the EESC president - 16/03/2011 03:58:41 PM 956 Views
No one's blaming the earthquake or tsunami on global warming. - 16/03/2011 04:22:52 PM 707 Views
Actually people have - 16/03/2011 04:31:37 PM 868 Views
Which people? Where? Example? - 16/03/2011 06:48:10 PM 891 Views

A slightly misleading post - 16/03/2011 07:41:46 PM 808 Views
Surprised? *NM* - 16/03/2011 08:59:35 PM 366 Views
Not completely. *NM* - 16/03/2011 09:13:48 PM 337 Views
Kind of missed the point there - 16/03/2011 09:54:35 PM 812 Views
If you link the transcript I'll look at it. - 16/03/2011 10:16:21 PM 681 Views

" I can't help attaching, you know, political reaction to this". Yeah, we noticed.... - 16/03/2011 11:10:11 PM 826 Views

Fair enough. - 17/03/2011 12:08:13 AM 761 Views
Re: Fair enough. - 17/03/2011 12:37:12 AM 732 Views
No worries. - 17/03/2011 12:48:44 AM 996 Views
I've read the transcript - 16/03/2011 10:34:41 PM 830 Views
Re: I've read the transcript - 16/03/2011 10:46:42 PM 732 Views
You need to reread what I said - 16/03/2011 10:49:45 PM 698 Views
No, I think you're still missing my point - 16/03/2011 11:09:04 PM 776 Views
Perhaps - 16/03/2011 11:26:37 PM 842 Views
Okay, I'm done - 16/03/2011 11:37:58 PM 728 Views
Seriously, you need to pick a better example to make your point - 18/03/2011 05:00:10 PM 705 Views
No. You don't get to say, "what he said doesn't matter because of how we learned of it". - 16/03/2011 11:54:46 PM 759 Views
I told you, I'm done in this thread - 16/03/2011 11:59:08 PM 691 Views
Acknowledged (though I'd not seen that response yet, sorry). - 17/03/2011 12:11:58 AM 746 Views
I think Republicans should stop using "legitimate". I do not think it means what they think it means - 16/03/2011 04:11:14 PM 869 Views
there are enough carzies on the left to make things like this easy for Rush - 16/03/2011 04:20:47 PM 775 Views
So it doesn't matter that no one said it as long as he can plausibly claim they did. - 16/03/2011 06:58:17 PM 699 Views
well since it is taken out of context it is hard to say where Rush was going with it - 16/03/2011 07:19:46 PM 785 Views
Um... he stated where he was going with it. - 16/03/2011 07:30:02 PM 760 Views
At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard - 16/03/2011 08:17:39 PM 710 Views
It's the same standard, whatever you choose to believe. - 16/03/2011 09:08:01 PM 823 Views
I don't thinkit is as clear as you make it out to be - 16/03/2011 09:31:53 PM 724 Views
It is not just "possible" he's talking about islands affected by global warming; he says it outright - 16/03/2011 10:09:16 PM 896 Views
Sorry but I still fail to see how the islands he mention are a sign of what needs to be done - 16/03/2011 10:27:20 PM 762 Views
Hey, guys! - 16/03/2011 10:55:07 PM 655 Views
and how its that different than what I said? *NM* - 16/03/2011 11:14:46 PM 301 Views
Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless. - 16/03/2011 11:28:47 PM 836 Views
lets throw a little context at asnd see if it matters - 17/03/2011 12:12:03 AM 730 Views
Yes: It makes it worse. - 17/03/2011 12:45:12 AM 723 Views
Re: At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard - 16/03/2011 09:22:37 PM 840 Views
maybe he heard that they were blaming it on Pearl Harbor *NM* - 16/03/2011 10:14:59 PM 301 Views
