It's either inflammatory, pieces left out pieces put in or taken out of context. <BR/>People, do your own research and take what the papers print with a grain of salt.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400006028099229571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1113651894286748252005-04-16T05:44:00.000-06:002005-04-16T05:44:00.000-06:00RHM, I just posted this as an example of extreme s...RHM, <BR/>I just posted this as an example of extreme statements and spin doctoring. There are certainly examples all over the internet, the press, and the television that show that in every aspect. <BR/>I think it's fair to consider me either a moderate or a libertarian (a modertarian?). I would much rather everyone reach an agreement than see this increasing polarization of the left and right. Those of us in the middle get to feeling that we'll not be adequately represented by either side.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148864091827107809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1113626633748565842005-04-15T22:43:00.000-06:002005-04-15T22:43:00.000-06:00i don't think TFN's daily news emails that are sen...i don't think TFN's daily news emails that are sent to their members and other people who have signed up (or got suckered into signing a health textbook postcard at school by their liberal friends) count as media & that it's really a "headline." if you signed up for dobson's focus on the fetus list, you'd probably get much worse. my favorite part of the TFN emails are the religious right messages at the bottom that they post in their entirety. you have to understand, steve, that the purpose of TFN is to be a voice to counter the religious right. it was started by ann richards' daughter. hey, the conservatives get faux news channel feeding them bullshit and misinformation all day, i can get a little sensationalist excerpt from a crazy right wingnut in an email from a nonprofit advocacy group i support. sorry, cranky from sleep deprivation this week. certainly sounds like i'm getting upset at that 3rd option, the poster. but i'm really not - i just wanted to clarify the difference between headlines and emails. or whatever. and for the record, i don't agree with anything dobson says. but you knew that already.red.hot.mamma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16009079438690150776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1113570946473113272005-04-15T07:15:00.000-06:002005-04-15T07:15:00.000-06:00LOL, Steve.

I think what he said here was inappropriate, BUT...one of the favorite pastimes of the press is misconstruing his quotes or quoting him out of context (see SquareBob Spongepants). I also think the statement "and that's what you're talking about" is pretty vague. I'm curious to see how he responds to this write-up.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198667212653289732noreply@blogger.com
