JK's Quote from Sunday's MTP taken utterly out of context on GD forum!

[ObamaKerryDem]

My apologies in advance if this has already been posted/discussed in the Super Committee thread, but..

*sigh* :thumbsdown: And it's starting to be picked up elsewhere too (someone on my Facebook, for example, just made a status out of this...I am in the process of rebutting on their comments as I write this..)

And the fact that this is coming from fellow Democrats/progressives..double sigh! SO frustrating..

I mean, yes, I suppose he could've worded that particular part differently--though I think he was terrific on Sunday's MTP overall and anyone who actually watched the whole thing all the way through, could discern what he was getting at..but that is precisely the problem. People like--or at least are used to--the soundbite perfect media culture. And the use of ellipses made the 'soundbite' here, unfortunately..

:(
