I’m getting a lot of e-mails like these:

Mr. Gibson left out a couple of words when he quoted Mrs. Palin. She was admonishing the congregation and said, “Pray that our national leaders are sending our troops on a task that is from God.” When he quoted her, he left out the admonishment to pray and said her quote began with “ Our leaders are sending. . . That totally changes the meaning, thus, he can construe her ‘real’ meaning and take the interview in the direction of ‘mission from God’, aka holy war.
She was not saying that we were fighting a holy war. But, praying for the leaders, that they would send our troops to fight for righteous and noble causes that align with our values. Isn’t that what Americans have always done? This infuriates me. If they cannot make their points by using our words, they attempt to create false impressions by omitting words and distorting their true meaning. I had hoped Mr. Gibson would be more honest. Disappointed again by the MSM.
