It reminds me of this article I read in the NYT yesterday:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/25/health/policy/25zeke.html

Dr. Emanuel has written over a million words on health care and somewhere,
in one of his papers, its possible to twist his words into making him sound
like he's saying something that he doesn't actually believe. Except in your
case you don't even have actual source material to twist about so its much,
much worse.
