"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

Um, where did I call you a name in that post..? I laughed at the name you called Bush, and the irony contained therein, but I didn't call you anything at all. I resent your statement, although I am rather used to your outright lies by now.

The email you received is a typical right-wing distortion done by taking her comments completely out of context. Here's the context:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/marxist.asp

Don't trust the right wing. There are a great many documented liars and distorters among them.

QuiGon

His comments are a heck of a lot more in context than all the lies you gladly spread about Rush Limbaugh, completely distorting his "phony soldiers" comment.

Of course, you're too partisan to admit that which everyone knows.

Patters

To paraphrase you --

There's a surprise... a conservative can't defend against what I have said, so they simply respond by bringing up something unrelated.

Never seen that tactic before

As far as your other comment, it sounded like you were calling me effete.

Real World

Um, it says, and for some reason you can't copy and paste, that the quote is accurate. That the context is misleading. Really? I don't really see how it is? She said to a crowd that she was going to repeal the tax cuts in order to give that money for the common good. So what's misleading about that?

Yeah, she said to a very wealthy group that she's going to repeal their tax cuts. The quote, isolated, makes it sound like she's about to wage a revolution, when all she's talking about is standard Democratic tax policy, that the wealthy should pay more in taxes.

Isolated, We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good" could be read as a collectivist statement or even worse if you don't know that she's referring only to tax breaks that disproportionately benefited the rich.

Real World

It's not isolated when she's made the same remarks about corporate profits. This is what she believes in. She's a socialist, and borderline communist. She clearly believes in that form of government. From taxing about taxing for the "common good", or confiscating corporate profits, to government run health care. She's truly scary.

Anyone who defends Rush, his half truths and lies is very over the edge.. suggest you get some balance into your political diet, if not you will get all backed up. Rush changed his whole statement on the "phony soldiers" too lazy to look for it right now, but it is out there.

I get plenty of balance - and I guarantee it's far more than you do.Well, he explained what he meant to completely refute the lying liberals but he never changed his statement from the moment he said it to the present day. So we'll just chalk that up as another liberal lie... oh, but it's "out there".... you're just "too lazy to look it up"... But it's there, I tell ya..!! It is it is..!!
