FOX news edits audience response to blowback question. What new?

[Muwahid]

did Bolton EVER serve in the military ? i suppose not, and yet he has the balls to talk about "honor"

From Wiki

Bolton supported the Vietnam War and enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard, but did not serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book "I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost."[15] In an interview, Bolton discussed his comment in the reunion book, explaining that he decided to avoid service in Vietnam because "by the time I was about to graduate in 1970, it was clear to me that opponents of the Vietnam War had made it certain we could not prevail, and that I had no great interest in going there to have Teddy Kennedy give it back to the people I might die to take it away from."

Yup, typical chickenhawk bullshit, nothin' to see here, folks.

Who is this John Bolton guy? He makes me wanna throw up. To think that people like him live in America disturbs me.

You don't know John Bolton? You didn't do your homework then.

Know thy enemy.

I hate John Bolton. He dodged that question (he never did answer the question) like he dodged the Vietnam War. Being a straight-up coward is one thing but to be a war-profiteer who has no qualms sending other people's children, our men & women over there to die is straight-up evil. That he was named representative of the UN by Bush2 is a moment all Americans should have done a collective facepalm. Seriously, it's like the 3 fools in the race with Ron Paul...all of them would declare war on Iran today if it were in their power & they thought it would get them support of the neocons but none of them have served or avoided serving multiple times. How do people who are admitted draft dodgers or have never served anywhere near an FOB be allowed to make decisions that send our men & women into illegal wars? I...just...don't....get it! F-U John Bolton.

Right. Completely dodged the question while dissing the Ranger by alleging a "disservice." The Ranger should've went off on Bolton!

Bump...

Bolton used the same technique I see all the time from run-of-the-mill neocons when they're confronted with simple facts (truth) that destroy their arguments. They insult the questioner and subtly change the topic, with a dose of "America Fuck Yeah" thrown in. I see it all the time on other forums.

Doesn't this violate some FCC regulation?

This...I was having Razor Ramon flashbacks from the late 90's.

In the first 3 seconds of the video you can hear booo boooo blowback.

SCOTUS has ruled that media outlets have no legal responsibility to report the truth about anything.

 

[sailingaway]

I'm not sure, but if this goes viral it will be much harder for fox to explain than the "Oops we used the wrong CPAC video" excuse.

I've seen it on twitter. Some people are spreading it around.

This is one for Jon Stewart.

Can I actually talk about this because I was actually there in the audience. There was a lot of booing during the first opposition guest and then the producer was like tone it down a little guys. It was rather excessive imo. As soon as John Bolton came onto the stage before the segment started the boos were great and numerous. Then we were trying to check ourselves a bit and a lot of his responses received no response then. If I remember correctly though was most certainly boo'd after this response.

Thank you for your clarification.

Also, I find it disgusting that a member of the United Nations is going to talk about "Honor in the Military (while simultaneously being a draft dodger)." Putting "UN Military Code" before the U.S. Constitution is the greatest level of "disgust" I have seen. Also, notice his connection to Yale. For some reason, all of these politicians are coming from these high-class universities. What the hell is going on over there?

To make sure that the video we were presented was not edited by the person who posted it on his channel, I searched for another version of the video. I found one that was shot from a hand held recording device off a TV. Oddly enough it is actually higher qaulity. Read what I have here, and I will look for the full video of the whole program.

Findings:

Times: 24secs
Look for the man in the black Fedora(Hat). He is next in line.
Time: 34secs
The man in the black Fedora is still in line behind him.
Time: 55-56secs
They zoom out and you can see the man in the black Fedora, also wearing some type of long sleeve shirt/jacket. Behind him is the man in red, who is not wearing a hat.
Time: 1min 42secs
They zoom back out and you see the crowd clap. The person standing in the front is wearing a black long sleeve, and a black Fedora. He turns to leave after his question is anwsered. The man in red then steps forward to take his turn. No where do you see the person that asked the question that was just anwsered.

Yea, it looks like the applause is definitely from the NEXT guy.

Do we have footage of the response to Fedora's question? The applause should match, correct?
