In reply to the discussion: Feinstein: "Trump is right" [View all]R B Garr
(16,950 posts)You are insisting that only Bernie be taken in context and are providing obscure references from Shakespeare to try and make a disjointed point;
yet
in a further post downthread you need exact quotes for anything to make sense.
So on one hand, you use unrelated theatrics (literally from a Hamlet play) to try and flush out context, but are unable to see it from others.
So there is a double standard in full effect. Bains is totally correct in this analogy about the reactions to initial quoted comments that can be taken out of context, and she broke it down for you. Here's just a small quote from what she wrote:
"Your claim that the words need to be identical is disingenuous. People do use different words. Sanders insisted on complimenting Trump right after he tried to take away healthcare from 23 million people. Feinstein, to my understanding, suggested that Trump might be able to change and handle Harvey competently. I don't agree with that view myself, but I have to ask why the latter so much worse, except for the fact that it was Feinstein rather than Sanders?"
Hope that helps.
