I fixed that for you ... you did not consider the reverse case.

I'm happy to consider the reverse case when the reverse case you pointed out above is relevant, which it's certainly not in this case because you don't seem to actually know what you're talking about.

Have you seen the entire video?

If you have, you're a terrible listener. If not, you're just dishonest, because your summary of it above is not actually what happened when "context" is made clear.

I mean, I know it's asking a ton for you to actually take the time to figure out the reality of the situation when you can just take professional liar Andrew Breitbart's word for it, right? Because he'd never do anything to try to take out of context a story about realizing one's own prejudices, realizing that socio-economic status was the major issue there rather than race, and overcoming those original prejudices and becoming "good friends" with the farmer that she helped and his wife ("good friends" being their words, not hers).

Right. That all makes sense. Keep swinging, even if you have to lie (or be willfully ignorant, which may be a better description of it -- you can pick which way you'd rather own it) to do it, which you seem to have no problem with.

yeah, once the real story came out it was pretty simple to understand her comments.

Tho it is a little bit frightning how quickly the white house jumped to conclusions.
