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 965 Views
Possibly different ones then the EESC president - 16/03/2011 03:58:41 PM 923 Views
No one's blaming the earthquake or tsunami on global warming. - 16/03/2011 04:22:52 PM 676 Views
Actually people have - 16/03/2011 04:31:37 PM 831 Views
Which people? Where? Example? - 16/03/2011 06:48:10 PM 857 Views

A slightly misleading post - 16/03/2011 07:41:46 PM 776 Views
Surprised? *NM* - 16/03/2011 08:59:35 PM 341 Views
Not completely. *NM* - 16/03/2011 09:13:48 PM 324 Views
Kind of missed the point there - 16/03/2011 09:54:35 PM 782 Views
If you link the transcript I'll look at it. - 16/03/2011 10:16:21 PM 652 Views

" I can't help attaching, you know, political reaction to this". Yeah, we noticed.... - 16/03/2011 11:10:11 PM 795 Views

Fair enough. - 17/03/2011 12:08:13 AM 727 Views

No worries. - 17/03/2011 12:48:44 AM 960 Views
I've read the transcript - 16/03/2011 10:34:41 PM 798 Views
Re: I've read the transcript - 16/03/2011 10:46:42 PM 696 Views
You need to reread what I said - 16/03/2011 10:49:45 PM 666 Views
No, I think you're still missing my point - 16/03/2011 11:09:04 PM 743 Views
Perhaps - 16/03/2011 11:26:37 PM 809 Views
Okay, I'm done - 16/03/2011 11:37:58 PM 690 Views
Seriously, you need to pick a better example to make your point - 18/03/2011 05:00:10 PM 672 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 723 Views
I told you, I'm done in this thread - 16/03/2011 11:59:08 PM 656 Views
Acknowledged (though I'd not seen that response yet, sorry). - 17/03/2011 12:11:58 AM 716 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 835 Views
there are enough carzies on the left to make things like this easy for Rush - 16/03/2011 04:20:47 PM 742 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 663 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 759 Views
Um... he stated where he was going with it. - 16/03/2011 07:30:02 PM 730 Views
At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard - 16/03/2011 08:17:39 PM 671 Views
It's the same standard, whatever you choose to believe. - 16/03/2011 09:08:01 PM 795 Views
I don't thinkit is as clear as you make it out to be - 16/03/2011 09:31:53 PM 696 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 863 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 731 Views
Hey, guys! - 16/03/2011 10:55:07 PM 621 Views
and how its that different than what I said? *NM* - 16/03/2011 11:14:46 PM 282 Views
Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless. - 16/03/2011 11:28:47 PM 803 Views
lets throw a little context at asnd see if it matters - 17/03/2011 12:12:03 AM 694 Views
Yes: It makes it worse. - 17/03/2011 12:45:12 AM 689 Views
Re: At least you are not ashamed to use a double standard - 16/03/2011 09:22:37 PM 812 Views
maybe he heard that they were blaming it on Pearl Harbor *NM* - 16/03/2011 10:14:59 PM 288 Views
