Michelle Obama attacked for 'Not loving America'? What about McCain?

I agree with you to a point.
You just gave context to his statement.
Now, take it out and see how it "reads".
Which is what this thread is about-how Michelles' comments were taken out of context and used.
Even Mrs. Bush understands that.
Take the time, about 13 minutes, to watch the MSNBC show.

How did I give context? I simply stated how I related to his statement. But, like DSTCHAOS just noted, both statements make perfect sense in or out of context.

Sorry, won't be taking the 13 minutes to watch that--at least not during the work day.

You "gave context" because you explained the context in which the comment was made/may be applied.

But we both agree that context doesn't matter to us with these two comments. The comments were detailed enough that they made complete sense before I even read the backstory and explanations. And if these people weren't involved in this (God awful) election, no one would care.
