RW response to Kerry's' comment
When I heard the nutters piling on the Kerry comment, it occurred to me that they (bush* snow limbaugh...) had a reflexive reaction to what they heard, biased by their own feelings. It was clear he was referring to bush*, but their own inner feelings about our military personnel effected their thought process. There was once a social experiment in the form of an un-puncuated sentence- Woman without her man is nothing- When asked to add punctuation, most men just added a period at the end, but most women added two commas and the period making it "Woman, without her, man is nothing." Interpretation of an ambiguous statement is influenced by pre-conceived ideas.

But regardless, they know exactly what they're distorting and why, the evil bastards.
