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.

While I personally agree with the 3 or four posters involved in this mini-sub thread, there are others (including posters on GC and real world) who do not think that way.
Have you followed this thread:
http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=96692 ?

A gentleman in my gym said something tonight that hit matters on the head. (Too) Many people in the US now just get their news and information by way of sound bits.
And they form their POV's based off of those and nothing else.

And as that other thread shows, once that bit of rumor/gossip is out, there are people who will not either take the time to track it down or even believe evidence that show otherwise.
