I was not defending his position, I was defending his right to have his sentence quoted in its entirety, rather than parsing...in this case for the purpose of making him look like he's contradicting himself.
I pointed out that instead of including a speakers or writers entire quote, but rather quoting a parsed section in order to make the writer or speaker look bad, is a tactic often used by the leftist media to support their agenda.
I understand how it can be easily construed that way, but by no means was I implying that this particular issue was a "leftist agenda" or "left vs. right" issue.
Just playin the part of a ref. Play fair now!
A raisin can't become a grape if it is already a raisin. Why? Because it is already a raisin. It can't become what it already is because it already is what it is. Duh. That's just common sense.
If a bully is already a leader then a bully can't become a leader because a bully is already a leader.
I guess reading comprehension and common sense are leftist plots, also.
Furthermore, "you have the right to be quoted in complete sentences" doesn't exist. Quoting the entire post wouldn't change the fact he directly contradicted himself. Again.
