It is possible to frame those sentences within various contexts that would significantly alter their meaning. Quoting people out of context is not diligent or persuasive reporting. It is a manipulative tactic.

On national TV, Rush said "the whitehouse already has a dog" and then flashed up a photo of then-13-year-old Chelsea Clinton.
If you've ever spent time with teenage girls, you know how damaging comments like that can be from their peer group. Imagine getting made fun of like that on national TV.
The person who is capable of doing that is a monster and a proponent of hate. And that's not all he did, see the article that I posted above. How many kids heard their parents laughing about that and went to school the next day and made fun of people? I would guess more than one. Rush increased the hate in the world with his bullying.
Again: I think Rush is a proponent of hate. You cannot take that away from me with your words. My providing you "context" for Rush's statements doesn't change my opinion, and frankly I doubt it will change yours. So, you're asking me to prove to you, in your opinion, that your opinion is false. Do you see the problem?
