(36,814 posts)However, it's not by who you think. You are being played by those who have taken his quotes completely out of context, completely fabricated nonsense, and conveniently omitted relevant parts of his interview that didn't support their lame attempt to discredit. It's really no different than those who have taken Obama's quotes out of context and then pretended he meant something completely contrary to what his actual message was. Those who are manipulating you are counting on you not taking the time to actually investigate their allegations, just like those who quote Obama out of context are relying on those who are easily swayed by one-sided hacks with an agenda.
Farrell authored a study on incest. That doesn't mean he supports incest, pedophilia, or any of the other half-baked allegations his detractors have made. The fact that they refuse to discuss the actual content of his work and instead seek to make ad hominem attacks should be your first clue to their duplicity. Had you actually read the Penthouse interview in it's entirety, you might have noticed he explicitly said he wasn't advocating incest and especially father/daughter incest. Oooops! Those who seek to manipulate you probably aren't going to offer that information, now are they?
