Weasel Words Of The Day

Misunderstanding, my ass:

[Rep.-elect Allen West (R-Fla.)] told a radio audience that U.S. officials "should be censoring the American news agencies which enabled" WikiLeaks, and that such media outlets were "aiding and abetting" a "crime."

...After this generated some attention, West responded, not with an apology, but by claiming he was misunderstood.

On his Facebook page, West responded with a note claiming that he never called for censoring the media. "I am heard on the African-American Conservative Radio Show saying the media should be censured- meaning 'harshly criticized,'" wrote West.

So, West would have us believe he said U.S. officials should be "censuring" American news organizations, not "censoring."
