just remember in 2000 in Pensacola when the military vote was challenged. Good ole beaver jaws, Margaret Carlson said" the only reason citizens join the militery is for tax breaks, they do some time here and get themselves sent over seas so they do not have to pay their fair share of
taves here".

She of course said she was taken outta context.

People like Carlson that use that "out of context" disclaimer seem to be unaware that EVERY quote quoted EVERYWHERE is a quote out of context. I guess their wish is that the INOFFENSIVE part were the one quoted. Maybe , knowing that, they should tailor both their writings and their public statements more carefully so that the individual parts of their arguments stand by themselves as self-explanatory,and do not contradict or get contradicted by any other part. That is a virtual definition of what the best writers do, like, for example,
George Orwell.---
