this is a very small example of ABC’s creative editing to shape the image they wish to present. The words in italics were edited out of what was aired.
Thats what that comment was all about, Charlie. And I do believe, though, that this war against extreme Islamic terrorists is the right thing. Its an unfortunate thing, because war is hell and I hate war, and, Charlie, today is the day that I send my first born, my son, my teenage son overseas with his Stryker brigade, 4,000 other wonderful American men and women, to fight for our country, for democracy, for our freedoms.
Charlie, those are freedoms that too many of us just take for granted. I hate war and I want to see war ended. We end war when we see victory, and we do see victory in sight in Iraq.
GIBSON: I take your point about Lincolns words, but you went on and said, There is a plan and it is Gods plan.
It reminds me of Moore’s fictional documentary in a fictional world where he edited a wonderful five page speech given by Charlton Heston down to two sentences out of context with incongruous images that made him out to be very insensitive. If you read the speech yourself it is not anything close to what Moore would have you believe.
@colleenky- perhaps I should have spelled it hatin’
Yes, that means that people will be exposed to ideas and beliefs with which they do not agree. Which they might consider dangerous. Deal with it.
That would include Christianity.
