MSNBC Puts Lies in Other People's Mouths
It takes special skill to report for the MSM. For example, you have to able to put your lies in other people's mouths, by cutting out all of the words that don't say what you want them to. NewsBusters cites an example from MSNBC, which recently tried to convince readers that there is a schism among evangelical Christians, with many of them endorsing the frightening radical green agenda the network relentlessly espouses. An exerpt:
Randy Thomas, vice president of Exodus International, an evangelical ministry, wrote last month that "I have decided to vote for Huckabee. Yes, it is because he is unabashedly Christian, but it is also that he does care for the environment."
Sounds like Thomas has Kool-Aid running down his chin. But here's what he really said:
Speaking on behalf of me … and me alone … not any organization and (especially not Exodus because Exodus as an organization does not support or condemn any particular candidate) *I* have decided to vote for Huckabee.
Yes, it is because he is unabashedly Christian, but it is also that he does care for the environment (in a balanced way … not the "new religion" kind of way.)
You'll note that contrary to the impression MSDNC gave, Thomas was explicitly not speaking on behalf of Exodus International. You'll also note that Thomas provided a link highly critical of the global warming hoax that has been pushed so emphatically by the mendacious kooks running MSNBC.
Thomas comments on the twisting of his words:
MSNBC did not contact me or cite my blog. I find that intriguing and think it would have been common courtesy to do so. I found out that I was quoted by J. Thanks J. I don't like the appearance that I was quoted to make the case that there is a schism within evangelicals over the environment.
This should go without saying, but it never hurts to be reminded: never believe anything you read in the liberal establishment media.
