Quote mining is also rampant by the political left in its responses to critics of the global warming movement.
Critics of Global Warming are at best fools who should be told how cute they are and sent back to the kiddie table. Many though are simply liars.

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.
Actually, marc is simply lying yet again. Rather than an example of "quote mining" the use of the 14th Amendment to show that illegal immigrants within the jurisdiction of the US have the same Constitutional Rights outlined in that Amendment relies on the full context of the Amendment as well as the vast body of case law that has evolved over the issue since it was first written.
There is simply no culture of truth or honesty in today's Right-Wing Fascist movement.

Dictionaries are not uncommonly behind the curve of some aspects of language use.
Dictionaries MUST always be behind the curve based on language use since the way words get included is by looking at the current common usage.
