All the contextual rationalizations in the world can't obscure the discrepancy between what Mr. Graham posted about Mr. Takeshita's comments and what Mr. Takeshita posted that he actually said. Mr. Graham can say he "editorialized" and "shined a little light" on Mr. Takeshita's words, but that's just a transparent way of saying he took Mr. Takeshita's comments--which he didn't even hear--and used them out of context so that he could jump to conclusions and level allegations that he otherwise can't support. For him to maintain that the "essential facts" of his earlier post continue to be true is disingenuous, and unfair to Mr. Takeshita.
