Of course you don’t. You never do. But quotes out of context is as good as a lie. You DO know that.

So, you think the quote I gave is out of context?

Here is the surrounding paragraphs from her spsech. Tell me how it changes the context of her statement...

Sarah Palin:

"This war -- and that is what it is, a war -- is not, as some have said, a clash of civilizations. We are not at war with Islam. This is a war within Islam, where a small minority of violent killers seeks to impose their view on the vast majority of Muslims who want the same things all of us want: economic opportunity, education, and the chance to build a better life for themselves and their families."

"The reality is that al Qaeda and its affiliates have killed scores of innocent Muslim men, women and children. The reality is that Muslims from Algeria, Indonesia, Iraq, Afghanistan and many other countries are fighting al Qaeda and their allies today. But this will be a long war, and it will require far more than just military power to prevail. Just as we did in the Cold War, we will need to use all the tools at our disposal -- hard and soft power. Economic development, public diplomacy, educational exchanges, and foreign assistance will be just as important as the instruments of military power."

I assumed that Palin supporters would be familiar with her major speeches, and wouldn't need entire paragraphs.
