Gonna have to leave you hanging, my frustration index just topped off and I'm taking a break from chatting politics here for a bit, maybe we can have one of our nice conversations about telescopes or something instead, personally I'm of a mind to think we should all swear a truce not to bring up anything political for like a week or something.
FWIW, I don't think you're trying to mislead anyone; I believe you to be an honest and forthright person and have never had cause to think otherwise. I can't speak for him, but perhaps snoop doesn't feel you're INTENTIONALLY trying to mislead anyone (though in that case "mislead" is probably not the word I would've used; then again, I'm in no position to articulate his thoughts). I do agree with virtually everything else in his last response to you though (particularly the analysis of the EESC Presidents comments). Your response to Camilla did feel to me a lot like an attempt to vindicate what Rush said on its face, with the mention of context only briefly noted in the course of that. I feel obligated to respond, sooner or later, to any posts in my thread about Peter King and his hearings, but otherwise, since I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, a week long moratorium on politics sounds like a good idea. Sorry for the frustration; if it's any consolation I'm a little frustrated with some of these exchanges as well, though not because of you.
I think we all feel frustrated, and I know how strongly you feel about replying when someone's taken the time to reply to you, do as you think best, I'm just jumping ship on all of them, I'm not going to back down off points I believe or ask anyone else to, and I don't trust myself not to accidentally put in a parting shot, never approved of those, easier to to close my mouth entirely. Sorry if I ripped in at you in that other sub-thread, it is as you say, not particularly related to you.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

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".

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

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
16/03/2011 07:19:46 PM

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.

lets throw a little context at asnd see if it matters

no it shows that the one statements was not meant to be taken literally
17/03/2011 02:47:55 AM

At best, it shows he was joking about something he believes to be fact despite lacking evidence.
18/03/2011 02:24:45 PM

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