Reply #50: your claim is dishonest [View All]

nothing was "pulled out of context" from that times article. all the spin doctoring in the world can't change the meaning of Clark's own words, cheerleading for the "great victory" and congratulating Bush and Blair for their "resolve". when he should have been condemning the warmongers for their duplicity.

if you insist that the excerpt was "out of context", then how do you explain the fact that commondreams ran the FULL ARTICLE with the headline, "Anti-war candidate?" obviously commondreams felt that the article AS A WHOLE called into question Clark's anti-war credentials. so no, more "context" didn't change the meaning of the excerpt. and your continual accusations of "dishonesty" only prove your own.

hint 1, just because you would like to overlook some of the man's own words, doesn't mean they were taken out of context.

hint 2, just because Clark has made conflicting statements doesn't mean it is "dishonest" to quote one of them.

if you want to vote for Clark, go ahead. but don't try to sell him as an "anti-war" candidate, because he ain't. and don't go around accusing people of dishonesty just because they quoted Clark saying things you find difficult to explain.
