Tax Whisper

naw Romney was talking about this subject of support for many seconds before that. Just some background chatter. Not an assist to his response in my view.

If anybody was whispering in my earpiece while I was onstage trying to formulate a coherent answer he would be fired. It would only serve as a useless distraction.
 
Caught it that time. I can't be sure what it was though. Any CSIers with audio filtering capabilities out there?
 
These whispers are really freaking me out. Who knows how simple the real cause of it could be, but it certainly sounds suspicious. That is the second mysterious whisper that gives away what he is just about to say. the first one seemed like maybe russert was whispering about some confusion of the question, but this one is right in the middle of Romney's answer and is exactly what Romney says less than a second later. Conspiracy or coincidence?
 
After hearing the SECOND "key phrase cue", I disagree whole heartedly. Someone is advising Mitt of how to phrase specific things for sound bite or "pollability" purposes:

Let's get this one viral as well (apologies for the dupe post):

He was not fed the answers. Most likely, it was someone who either a) didn't know their mic was on, or b) someone whispering to someone else who had a mic on.

It's not about getting fed answers - it's about getting fed/reminded to say things a certain way so that when clips are played by the news media later, you sound like you have a certain position that people want to hear.

Words like "not raised taxes" and "I don't support new legislation" (from the second whisper) are PERFECT buzz phrases in politics. It doesn't matter if he was answering a question or not.

Romney is playing the game to win and this clearly shows that he's not above playing dirty.

Sorry, I would have *loved* to have had this crazy earpiece mic scandal, but it's pretty clear somebody felt Russert needed to be more clear in the intention of his question.

Sorry, but you have to come up with something better Mitt.
 
Its there. So that settles any doubts about the "he raised taxes" cue.

Mitt = busted!

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.

Gullible how? That was a real video taken of Romney, pandering to black voters. It was discussed on CNN. I was embarrassed for him watching it.

The video was from Mitt Romney's official YouTube channel, and yeah, I do agree that it was a stupid thing to do. It makes it look like he's hiding something. The MSNBC explanation I can buy, but I still think that covering up a mistake makes it worse than it seems.

Speaking of which, I never said it necessarily came from his earpiece. I don't know where it came from--didn't happen for any of the other candidates as far as I could tell.

Speaking of a lack of thought, continually attempting to insult another person's intelligence is a very, very poor way to argue a point. Have you ever taken a debate class? You may want to consider it to get your point across more effectively.
 
Don't you see, that's just what they want you to believe. The MSM is in bed with the CFR New World Order Jew coalition. You have all fallen for their brainwashing on this.

What we need to do is get everyone to call up their complaint line so that we annoy all their lowly paid receptionists and make everyone think we are morons/lunatics.

Then we do that to all the other channels and random companies that will be picked out of a hat.

This isn't the thread for that bling video (I am freaking amazed that it was actually true... anybody who thinks I'm a Mitt lover needs to realize I couldn't believe anybody could be so out of touch to say this stuff but I guess he did ...http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/21/who-let-mitt-romney-out/) It's for people who are calling me crap because I'm pointing out the obvious - there is no conspiracy here. The Paulbots are becoming just as bad as Bushbots ever were.

To think there is some evil conspiracy of debate rigging involving God knows who simply because of this one little thing displays, if not a lack of intellect, a lack of critical thought or at best, a desire to find conspiracies to such a degree that you have to come up with plainly idiotic explanations.

I'm not trying to win any formal debate, so the rules of formal debates don't bother me. Anybody who thinks that the clear answer here (and there are many of them in this thread) is that there is some MSNBC/Mitt Romney/dark evil forces conspiracy (they are even posting new threads about other voices they are hearing in video clips) is either not a smart person, or is a smart person with a very very intense need to believe in conspiracies.

You are right, I think it is more the latter that populate this forum than the former.

You couple that with OMG DIEBOLDZ COCUS RIGGGING OMG after every state's primary that Ron Paul doesn't get 87% of the vote.... it gets old.

Isolated SECOND Mitt Romney Whisper

This is the second instance of what appears to be a whisper of the word "support" to Mitt Romney during the debates, presented in context and then isolated.

If he didn't immediately rephrase the statement he had just made before the whisper, I wouldn't think much of it, but here it is anyway:
