Try taking THIS out of context...
I am in need of cheering up, and reading the news isn't doing the job these days. So, in the spirit of the Rev. Wright controversy, I am proposing to the good-humored readers of TPM, a sideshow/distraction in keeping with the ABC Debate tradition: Try taking the remarks in this blog out of context.
Go on. I dare you. Take me (or us) so far out of context, you'll prove Derrida's "there is nothing outside of the text" wrong. Turn me into a far-left communist radical terrorist extremist palestinian freedom fighter set on converting the world into an international Islamic caliphate with socialized medicine for all. Redact, Edit, Misinterpret and Re-phrase my remarks as necessary. Enjoy, and if you have it in your heart to brighten the Wright-ridden recommended list, then help spread the misunderstanding to more people by clicking the over-jovial:

The point isn't if Wright was taken out of context. Wright isn't running for office. The point is, as my father used to say, "You are judged by the company you keep".

I think you've missed my point. Look. You've taken me out of context here. When you say "Wright was taken out of [...] my father", are you implying a family link to Reverend Wright?

Using your own words, you want to become "a far-left communist radical terrorist extremist palestinian freedom fighter set on converting the world into an international Islamic caliphate with socialized medicine for all."
That wasn't very difficult. You must be destroyed.

And using your own words, you just argued that "converting the world into an international Islamic caliphate [...] wasn't very difficult." Sounds like enemy propaganda to me. The fact that you follow up with "You must be destroyed" only confirms the notion that you're working for Al-Qaeda.

I realize this has been a long campaign but i think the stress is beginning to get to you. The idea that people are using some sort of magical hypnotic power to turn you "into a far let communist radical terrorist extermist" is rediculous. Take off the tin foil hat dude. No one us using any mind control techniques to turn you into someone, "set on converting the world into an international Islamic caliphate." You're paranoid. Get some therapy before you hurt yourself or others.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was written with sarcasm mode on.

Caught red-handed, I'm afraid.

OMG, Obama once sat on a subway next to a guy who beat his wife! A woman who used to be a prostitute showed up to an Obama rally! Christ on a cracker. Guilt by association doesn't apply to one's character when they interact with as many people as a politician on the national stage.

Ha, you're the same guy denying climate change; you must be a Holocaust denier, too.
Begone, vile crypto-fascist media sympathizer!!
(Kidding. Thanks for the lift.)

In the words of McCain: "What's my position on Holocaust Denial? Uh... I don't know what my position on Holocaust Denial is. I'll have to... let me find out what my position is, and I'll get back to you."
Or was that someone else? No, probably McCain.

gharlane said, "this was written with sarcasm mode on." If you didn't think my post properly took Theo's words out of context just say so. There's no need to get sarcastic. I'm of the opinion, gharlane, that sarcasm has no place in civil discourse. Admitting that you are being sarcastic does not excuse it.

Why are you infringing on gharlane's constitutionally protected right to freedom of speech? Sarcasm is clearly protected by the constitution and your attempt to stifle gharlane exposes you as an authoritarian, fascist dictator.

"sarcasm is clearly protected by the constitution" .... so, what you're saying is, you want to take our guns away. Damn Liberals.

Theo says he represents you, but facts tell a different story. In a recent online article, he said this:
"I ... , ... a far-left communist radical terrorist extremist palestinian freedom fighter set on converting the world into an international Islamic caliphate with socialized medicine for all ... , ... enjoy ... e..a..t..i..n..g ... people"
Do you REALLY want a far-left communist terrorist running the country?
Theo. The WRONG choice in November.

You forgot the music that sounds like it's from the soundtrack of "24", and black-and-white footage of my avatar. Oh wait, ok then just footage of my avatar.
