Out of context

Yesterday, Joe Biden commented that increasing taxes on folks that made more than $250,000 a year was the right thing to do and downright "patriotic." Later on, Sarah Palin took that statement and "twisted it" to say that her counterpart thought that paying more taxes was the patriotic thing to do, thus deriding him in that manner.

This is an excellent example of how sentences can be taken out of context and twisted badly enough when a candidate and her party see that they're not moving ahead and are becoming desperate. Bottom line, the more ideas are manipulated out of their context, the more the electorate sees through that trick and lose confidence…
