Out of Context Redux


Here are some additional cases of words used out of context. As you may well imagine, campaign season provides plenty of examples.

The Case of the Sheriff and the Billboard




Here's an article that discusses the case:

What do you think? Was the billboard misleading? Should the speech be protected? Was the sheriff wrong to publicize the artist's phone number?
