Anyone who offers a portion of a sentence as damning evidence usually has a reason for cutting the other part of the sentence.

I can't believe you guys are falling for this kind of bull. How easily are you manipulated?
If the quote is true, what possible spin on it could make it seem less damning?

Unless you are claiming that what she actually said was:

Its not like "the evidence shows moderate cigarette consumption can reduce traditional risks of disease by 75% or more"

or

No one really believes that "the evidence shows moderate cigarette consumption can reduce traditional risks of disease by 75% or more"

or

Only an idiot would actually think that "the evidence shows moderate cigarette consumption can reduce traditional risks of disease by 75% or more"

I get that the quote was probably taken out of context and I don't doubt for a second that the person who wrote the article was trying to put her in the worst possible light, but unless you are saying that he flat out lied, I don't see a way where that comment could be flipped to the point that it wouldn't be bad.
