BUT WE HAVE TO PASS THE BILL SO THAT YOUCAN FIND OUT WHAT IS IN IT, AWAY FROM THE FOG OF CONTROVERSY

I have tried to set the record straight so many times but this comment I just had to copy and paste. You see if you read my Pelosi Delivered post in 2010 you would know I already knew this. I am just glad there are others who got it too.

Marguerite Higgins is a FOX News ditto-head who has been completely fooled by false FOX News-created video clip. Pelosi was addressing Conference for National Association of Counties (NACO) in 3/9/2010 speech and not Congress, as FOX would have you believe. Congress already knew what was in bill. Pelosi’s full paragraph:

“. . . You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill . . . But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future . . . It’s going to be very, very exciting. [BUT WE HAVE TO PASS THE BILL SO THAT YOU (meaning NACO attendees and not Congressional members) CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS IN IT, AWAY FROM THE FOG OF CONTROVERSY.] Furthermore, we believe that health care reform . . .”

FOX deliberately failed to identify context (NACO forum and NACO audience) and deceptively cut statement, thereby intentionally altering Pelosi’s meaning so as to be damaging to her–explicitly to portray her as informing Congress ‘we have to pass bill so that you Congress can find out what is in it’ playing into Republican falsehood that health care bill was too long and people writing it did not know what was in it. With audience, full text, and context exposed, Pelosi’s statement is not damaging at all. This is the kind of inaccurate, deceitful tricks we have come to expect of Heritage and FOX."

Stand up and Clap!!! I got this from Heritage blog, who never changed their spin.
Heritage blog and all the sheep that fell in line except for this one!
