Wideawake: "Placing what she actually said in its context is precisely what Breitweiser, these assemblywomen, Hewitt and Peach do not want you to do."
Wideawake is completely correct. Placing a quotation in context means reading it in its proper place, in the midst of its surrounding material.
The New Jerseyites don't want you to read the book.
Ergo, they don't want you to know the context.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. There apparently is a context in which some of those quotes would be proper. We're having a discussion. I've seen the quotes. I'm told there is a proper context by people who've presumably read it, because they speak with great authority. I asked what the context was. I'm told I need to buy the book. Is that the way it has to be? I can't just have a discussion and get information from people who know what the context is?
