They aren't, though. They are all in context.
I saw all the surrounding text today (and don't
recall where, or I'd post a link).
I half suspect that the slightly choppy editing was
intentional, to provoke the Kerry camp into addressing
the matter, and motivate those who share your reaction
to examine the source paragraphs.
We'll soon find out.
They aren't, though.
I agree with both statements, but unfortunately, perception is reality with most viewers - and you KNOW - the MSM will take the opportunity to spread the fiction that his words were taken out of context.
Specifically, the very last line by Kerry - "and I'm proud of that.." or something to that effect, looks like it could have been chopped from anywhere during that interview, which means it could have been in reference to something unrelated to his medal chucking. The careful viewer, though, can see the movement of his arm coming down to make the coming point at the very end of his second-to-last video cut. And in the last cut - his arm continues down to make the point that he's proud of chucking his medals.
However...how many viewers are going to notice that? And how many MSM outlets will helpfully point that out?
I can see the DU crowd running to the transcripts and being disappointed.
