Using a quote in this way is intellectually dishonest.

..and that's why I posted the entire quote in post #3,and it's also linked in the article itself!

Nothing dishonest that I see!

And kudos to you for doing so!

My point was that I’ve seen this quote numerous times before, and I had never seen the first part of the sentence before.

Deleting the first part of a sentence to significantly change its meaning and make one’s opponents look bad is IMO dishonest tactics. And pretty obviously most of those who quote her do so in this way.

I did not include you personally in this group.
