Why do you effing iced tea drinkers always take Limbaugh and O'Reilly out of context?

I’ve been surfing around AM radio today, hearing all about the latest Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh flaps. It seems that they’ve become victims of people (like you) who dared to take their words out of context. I figure I should defend these patriots by adding a little context. Limbaugh first:

In his defense, Rush today explained that when he used the phrase “phony soldiers,” he was only referring to one phony soldier. That, of course, may or not be the case; you can’t really tell from the context of the broadcast in question. Luckily, Rush added some context today. He said that there were “others” (other phony soldiers). Among the other phony soldiers, Rush specifically identified one John Murtha.

So, in context, Rush believes it’s fine and dandy to attack the patriotism and military service of people like John Murtha, but has a completely different standard for people like David Petraeus. All we need to do now is figure out how one soldier’s service differs so greatly from the other. Wikis for your reference:

Now as for Bill, this is an easy one. Bill and his supporters claim that you folks and the fine people at Media Matters “distorted” his words to make him look like a racist – like the kind of guy who might support some kind of white power structure. Well, that may or may not be the case, as it’s hard to tell without context. Luckily, Bill clarified his position a few months ago. He came right out and explained that, “They want to breakdown the white Christian male power structure of which you are a part, and so am I.” He made this point twice, via two different media. It was apparently a part of his notes. The context is pretty solid:

So, to understand what he was saying in regards to the restaurant Bill recently visited in Harlem, we must consider the context. The words came from a self-professed white supremacist.

I hope this clears things up. We have to put these things in context.
