I got it from mom too...the dates next to "citation" make it seem so legit don't they?

I mean, wow. Serious:

1) Does anyone really think those are not taken out of context?
2) Does anyone actually not think that the content - whether out of context or not - is strictly untrue?
3) Does anyone really think that these comments are equitable with Amin or Hitler or Pinochet?

I mean, this is why voting is a bad idea.

#3 should read, "Does anyone really think that these comments are equitable with Amin's or Hitler's or Pinochet's?

Ha! and #2 should omit the first use of "not."

Maybe I should be the one not voting!

I think phil means "clinton". There is no citation. Common mistake.
