I wrote a blog last week about the dishonest use of out of context quotes in political adds. I called out people on this blogsite for parroting what is essentially a lie to denigrate the president.
The worst example is the one where Obama says: "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
This is the president saying that you're hard work isn't responsible for the success of your personal enterprise, right? Fuck that Obama guy, right? What a socialist dickhead, right?
No, fuck the people who use the out of context quote. The entire quote is much more innocuous and actually goes along with the Republican idea of hard work means success.
Now Romney and all the Republicans at their convention have totally jumped on board with the out of context quote. The theme of the opening night was "We built that."
How can I take these people seriously?
