More bad judgment, and bad character.

It took a while to find a video, as opposed to just a quote, but here's the video, and as you can see, one sentence was DELIBERATELY plucked from an entire speech, taken out of context, and not only that, the sentence was CUT IN HALF. How utterly dishonest.

Here's an expansion on that quote, click on the above link to see the video

"The fact is that he is blowing a hole through the budget on tax breaks that are the exact same kind of tax cuts that George Bush offered. Same argument. Same philosophy. That if we give more and more to millionaires and billionaires, that prosperity will trickle down on all of us somehow. And then he's trying to suggest that a plumber is the guy he's fighting for."

See what a difference context means ???

And in case anyone is going to say the DAILYKOS doesn't count, because it is liberal, here is the full quote from an anti-Obama site as well. He gives a little more context, but still concludes that Obama is a jerk. He posts a little more of the video, includes the WHOLE sentence (bless his heart) but DAILY KOS provides the sentences leading up to it, and give it MORE context.

I'm talking about all the aspects of our country that is already socialist, not citizens wanting to be socialist.


Canada is not socialist, either, by the way...theirs is a mixed economy.


Additionally, to tell people who don't agree with you that they should leave the country is beyond rude...

When there is nothing to say the old "Love it or Leave it" comment always comes out....

that's exactly how some of us felt after that Palin/Gibson interview ... only diff is one was broadcast as an interview and one was an idiot on youtube.


I didn't listen to the entire thing ... just the quoted part

Maybe listening to the whole thing will give you an even better perspective.
