He specifically said that only "some" were good people. More like, "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people." No, that was not meant to be the kind of epithet you could drop on anyone of any nationality. I can understand a wing-nut being okay with such a statement, but I cannot accept the faux bewilderment at other people who find the statement ridiculous. Of course, Hillary later comes along and makes that "basket of deplorables" comment that kicks way all possible moral high ground. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

She never had high ground. Okay... I believe my comment said all "possible" moral high ground. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Today, the 14th amendment is being quote mined to attempt to grant illegal immigrants constitutional rights If this is your best example, then you are just wing-nutting rather than making a point. A complete reading of Supreme Court case law on the 14th amendment easily settles the issue of who is quote mining, and who knows that they are talking about. Hint. The current interpretation of the 14th amendment was not invented by liberals. But of course, you claim to have large numbers of examples. Rather than typing long screeds full of invective and short on examples, how about listing about three solid examples and then sticking around for some pro/con discussion. Or continue to bluster, and pontificate about what you don't remember seeing on ABC news as is your normal mode of operation. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

There is simply no culture of truth or honesty in today's Right-Wing Fascist movement. I'd like to think that conservatives can carry on an honest political discussion, but some folks do so only occasionally. In particular, 9K has a pattern of eel-like behavior that is particularly annoying. RAZD's thread is the perfect opportunity for anyone to put up quote-mining examples if you've got them. Marc9000 likely believes that there will be an overwhelming number of creationist examples posted here, so in predictable, Boulder-dash fashion, he shows up to pee in the cornflakes rather than to discuss.

So I don't think quote mining is going on. This thread was started in response to CRR doing exactly that.

No Nukes did an edit job too. He launched into some name calling, then accused ME of "bluster". He edited out the name calling, but left the "bluster" part in I did do that. I thought the name calling was inappropriate. I still think that. But I also think that "quote mining" not being in the dictionary is a stupid argument. I won't be removing the insult this time.

The term "quote mine" not being formally defined is significant however. No, it is not a significant issue. Everyone here, including you, knows what the term means. If you have any doubts about the meaning, all you have to do is ask for clarification. The original post sufficiently clarifies what this thread is about. You are not contributing to any honest discussion. You are doubling down on being a distraction and my responses to you just make more distraction. I am over my limit for responding to your BS in a thread so I'm not going to pursue this any further. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.
