All over today, they are posting the President's speech where he said, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam", which he did say, but only posting that bit takes it out of context. Here is the REST of his statement:
"...but to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied"
Please feel free to use this when disseminating the TRUTH to their distortions, there is no need for thousands of people to research the same shit.
Here is a link where he says it. Don't let them get away with it because an oft repeated lie will become the truth if we don't stop them

(69,059 posts)... for them to find these things to take out of context?
I think that's was Jesse Jackson used to speak in rhyme.
If you skipped a line, or took out some words, it broke the rhyme, and you knew something was changed.

(24,096 posts)changing speech writing style to stop them is a very strange idea and making rhymes like a rap song...

(601 posts)I guarantee, they will take that soundbyte and ram it in to the gound in next year's election campaigns. They'll fake it up to the point that they'll make bin Laden look like Mr. Rogers next to the "terrorist" President.

(7,044 posts)Because the Republicons cannot stand anything high, noble or respecting of the core American value" "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.."
Repubbies just loathe and fear the nobility of spirit that is key to the United States of America, and the value that has made us a great nation.
And so the Republicons will, undoubtedly, once again lie, spin and distort a noble speech to degrade it into a lie.
Why do Republicons HATE America and American values?

(9,748 posts)The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt. It must be claimed by those who chanted in Tahir Square who chanted, Muslims and Christians, we are one.
The future must not belong to those who bully women. It must be shaped by girls who go to school and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons.

The future must not belong to those corrupt few who steal a countrys resources. It must be won by the students and entrepreneurs, the workers and business owners who seek a broader prosperity for all people. Those are the women and the men that America stands with. Theirs is the vision we will support.
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But, to be credible, those who condemn *that* slander, must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated or churches that are destroyed or the Holocaust that is denied.

Religious persecution is nothing new, just something to condemn regardless of time or place.
