I think Republicans should stop using "legitimate". I do not think it means what they think it means

I saw this in Doonesbury's "Say What?" section:
This has to be a tough call for the environmentalists around the world. They're scrambling now to blame this on global warming...Much of the damage seems to have happened in that part of Japan most heavily involved in manufacturing cars. So do environmentalists cheer or do they pretend to be saddened by this? It's a legitimate question.

Peter King thinks terrorism against those he dislikes "legitimate" and Limbaugh thinks a question about invented allegations are; ah, rhetoric....
Exactly what events in Japan does he think environmentalists are "scrambling" to blame on global warming? The earthquake? The tsunami? The worsening dangers at the nuclear power plant? Which environmentalists are involved in his "scramble"; does he have any examples or did he just pull that out of his ample posterior? THOSE are legitimate questions. Accusing foes of a position they haven't taken just to rhetorically ask which reprehensible (and imaginary) choice they'll make is an ILlegitimate question, by definition, little more than slander (we all know Rushs feelings on THAT.
)

Republican spin doctor Frank Luntz popularized "climate change" to make global warming appealing.

No. You don't get to say, "what he said doesn't matter because of how we learned of it".

there are enough carzies on the left to make things like this easy for Rush

So it doesn't matter that no one said it as long as he can plausibly claim they did.

well since it is taken out of context it is hard to say where Rush was going with it

Um... he stated where he was going with it.

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

Sorry but I still fail to see how the islands he mention are a sign of what needs to be done

Then you don't understand context and this whole discussion is pointless.

no it shows that the one statements was not meant to be taken literally

At best, it shows he was joking about something he believes to be fact despite lacking evidence.

so you finally agre that the context changes the meaning, took you long enough
