[Iron Munro]

Santorum has been taken out of context

No he wasn't. He said what he said.

His entire speech has been run over and over, ad nauseum.

That is context.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

If one were to gage it from the overall media response, the outline on what Santo said, boils down to the headlines that make the claim. This is what sticks in the minds of the public.

All the excuses, explanations, clarifications, apologies, etc,, won't change a thing. The thing that sticks in 90% of the public minds is the original headline. And in truth, when Santo left so much to be headlined in the first place, this will be the result every time.

And these are not lies, Santo did say it.
