a lesson in phrasing

Be careful not only of what you say, but how you say it. The excerpted blurb for this article in Facebook read: "...This much is clear after almost 2 years of Democratic control over the executive and legislative branches of government: Democrats consistently support Israel and its governmen..." when the sentence (above) went on to say "... Democrats consistently support Israel ... far LESS..." Friendly fire does just as much damage.
