Tax Whisper

[huntx7]

Nice find. I definitely think he's getting fed answers because this didn't happen with any other candidates and it happened atleast twice.

Funny, Romney was fed another clue in his answer to Huckabee. Look at the other thread.

You stated that the "who let the dogs out video" was fake. Which it obviously isn't.

I'm just curious as to the answers to my other questions, not the red herring about my intelligence or about Bush's fearmongering.

So, one more time:

Why do you defend Romney on this and on the other "gangsta Mitt" video?
Why did MSNBC immediately remove references to it?
Why did Romney edit it out of his YouTube video?

If it was 'no big deal' then why hide it?

By the way, I do agree that it seems crazy that we could suddenly hear his 'feed' but I also watched the video and it seems to me, that if I were to have the question, then hear this whispered part, it would have given me pause. And there's no reaction from Romney whatsoever, making it look like he's used to having things whispered to him.

Either way, the press did not say squat about it and even if he does have a feed, he'll get away with it just like he did the lie about watching daddy march with MLK.

You're confusing me with somebody else. I have no idea what dog video you are talking about. Still don't understand why you think pointing out what has become obvious about this whisper is defending Mitt Romney. "Gangsta Mitt" doesn't mean anything to me... you are thinking of somebody else. EDIT - oh haha I remember that one now. Man you people are so gullible.....

MSNBC removed references to it because they realized it was their screwup. It made them look amateurish, like they couldn't get their questions straight. What are you saying, MSNBC was sending Mitt Romney answers? Or that somebody outside MSNBC was, but MSNBC wants to help Mitt Romney hide it? Do you even think about what you are saying? What do MSNBC and Mitt Romney have to do with one another?

I don't know what you mean about Mitt Romney editing some youtube video. It seems like a stupid thing to try to do considering there are 100 other youtube videos with it there. You are probably referring to some video a Romney supporter made.

Either way, you have to ask yourself why MSNBC and Mitt Romney of all people are in some debate radio frequency alliance, and, um.... why do I even bother....

Nobody has still bothered to explain why, if suddenly the volume in Mitt Romney's ear radio transmitter device thing was turned up so loudly that the microphones picked it up, he didn't even flinch a muscle in his face.... considering it would have been loud enough to make his ears bleed.

The lack of thought that has gone into some of these posts makes me sad.

When coupled with the "he raised taxes" whisper, and considering both came a split-second before Romney used the exact same words, it is unlikely that this was another candidate or one of the moderators, and in any case is definitely bizarre.

Uh oh here comes the Warren Commission with the lone gunman theory. MSNBC chimes in:

I think we have all the proof we need that Romney had an earpiece in with somebody helping him during the debates. We should contact all of the media that we know and inform them of this!

 

[Ryokucha]

I took my copy and listened to it, I heard it on a single pass while hes talking something faint.

When you take the "Whisper" part out on this one and play it back to back. It turns in to more of a bang.

I am guessing this is just reverberation of something being hit on stage.

Maybe I am wrong, but this is what I hear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_O3RPBQsgM

 

[newyearsrevolution08]

I think these two should be blasted to the msm anyones. wrong or right it can still create bad publicity for the guy. I am not going to assume he is cheating if in fact it is illegal to have an earpiece BUT I think Americans might have an issue with someone who is being fed answers and does not actually stand for anything himself.

Get this stuff sent to the main rp campaign and who knows where it might end up after that lol.

 

[Harry96]

That makes sense. If it was, it wasn't that Russert didn't know what the question was about; it was that he didn't make it clear to everyone, so someone -- probably Williams -- chimed in as a split-second decision to try to get him to finish the question, and it was picked up and came across badly on live TV.

If Romney had someone feeding him lines:

A. We probably would've been able to see his earpiece.

B. I know nothing about TV production, but why would something being fed to Romney by a staffer, with no involvement from MSNBC, go out over the air? (I guess you could argue that MSNBC was involved and was feeding lines to everyone but Paul, but I highly doubt that and would have to see some hard proof.)

 

[Goldwater Conservative]

I'm not even gonna bother asking you all how a device in his ear could say anything loud enough to be heard on the microphones to the point of being broadcast on television without the man so much as flinching. Because I know little problems in logic like this are no match for your conspiracies.

Yeah, that's why I don't believe it was an ear-piece either. Frankly, I don't know what it was, but it doesn't sound like most people there and followed the question too closely to be one of the moderators. Why would one of the candidates say anything that could be construed as negative about Reagan?

 

[Mesogen]

Why would Russert need to be told "He raised taxes"?

Wouldn't 'help' for Russert come as "Don't forget the rest of the question."

 

[ForLiberty-RonPaul]

If you can find one post from a person who joined this forum before January 2008 with more than three hundred posts to their name who doesn't think Willard Mitt Romney was fed the answers to the questions I will drop the arguement. Otherwise, every single post about this being some 'reasonable' explanation are all coming from these people.

agreed

 

[josh24601]

agreed

Harry96 a few posts up June 2007.

Not that this kind of criteria means a freakin thing.... Truth doesn't change based on when people join internet forums.

And in case anybody missed it MSNBRomney is addressing the Whisper Heard Round The World:

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/25/609835.aspx

EDIT lol awesome comment from somebody on the MSNBC page:

"I think we're hearing McCain next to him. I think he goes around saying "raise taxes" all the time. it's like a turrets tick or something"

 

[austinchick]

another WHISPER heard (ROMNEY) check this video

At about 1:28, as he is finishing his sentence, saying...'legistlation', whisper comes saying 'support...', then he says 'I will not support...'
does anyone else hear this?

[evadmurd]

Didn't hear anything odd there.

 

[austinchick]

Didn't hear anything odd there.

turn up the volume at around that time...(start from 1:23 through 1:35) and you'll hear someone whispering 'support', and right after that as on cue, Romney says that he won't support ....

 

[gracebkr]

I thought a thread was started on this already. It definitely is hearable.

thx

 

[Thanehand]

Yes, heard it. It's more faint than the other, but it's definitely there. Someone is feeding CLEARLY feeding him "key phrases" to say for sound bite purposes or something.

You can digg it here:

[seapilot]

Its definitly another cue. I heard it. Then Romney repeats support like 10 times. Good advisors he has.
