  •  What matters most (0+ / 0-)

    What will matter most is what Obama will do from this point forward.

    No. What will matter most is the same thing that always matters most in a democracy....what We The People will do.

    •  I asked (0+ / 0-)

      you as the reader what are you going do in my diary.  Way to go taking my words out of context just like HRC.  Once again Obama supporters cannot handle any criticism.  You're getting as bad as Clinton loyalists were in the 90's.  How are you going handle it once he bocomes president?  I thought Obama supporters were about being proactive and transcending our differnces.  I guess the speech didn't have quite the effect he was hoping for if this how you choose to respond to it.

        First of all, I'm not an Obama supporter.

        Second, what criticism did you level at Obama or his supporters than you imagine they cannot handle? I don't recall seeing any criticism in your diary, but you're the diarist, you should know. So what criticism was it that I missed?

        Taking your words out of context? Are you kidding? Your entire diary is right there above my comment. It is the context. What are you saying...that we have to recopy the entire thing in order to comment on one line? And then how do you propose we identify the line we are commenting on?

        I would say that you are the one who can't handle criticism, but since I didn't criticize you (you're so vain, you probably think my comment was about you, don't you?), that doesn't quite fit.

          a comment out of context means isolating a section of text from the larger piece of text from which it comes and deriving meaning form that isolated piece of text that is fundamentally different from the overall meaning of the larger text from which the isolated piece comes.  That is exactly what you did.  You took that section of text from my diary and made a conclusion about my entire diary even though in another section of my diary I clearly address the idea you are taking issue with in the isolated text.  

          I don't really care who you support just that when you offer criticism you do so without taking isolated lines out of the diary and drawing broad conclusions about them that do not reflect that you have read the entire diary.

          Doing what you did leads to weak arguments and poorly cited work which is exactly what your comment was.
