The ONE quote that you choose to show (and use to smear all the rest by implication) IS ACTUALLY QUITE ACCURATE. The actual quote (even as you verify) is: "I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." The "them" here refers to the "Arab and Pakistani Americans" "in the wake of 9/11" (that is, Muslims) mentioned earlier in the passage. The reported quote is: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." It is essentially the same meaning, but SHOULD have been quoted with brackets around "the Muslims" to be accurate: "I will stand with them [the Muslims] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." EITHER WAY, the statement is the same and Obama's words clearly show his animosity against America defending itself in the wake of attacks from abroad (further demonstrating the racist undercurrent in his thinking). So much for your unjustified conclusion of "every single 'quote' is either taken out of context of the complete discussion or is misquoted entirely".

One of the most egregious of these is Bluegrass Bulletin, this hate site is run by a former candidate for the Supreme Court of Kentucky. We must always thank God that a person of this caliber was not elected to the highest Court in the Commonwealth. This particular email has been published on many right wing blogs in the state.
