      So what you are saying, Sean, is that being deceitful is just the "default" option at Fox?

        They didn't need to, they just chose to.

        Sean the Sissy reminds me here of a guy I saw on one of those To Catch a Predator shows. There was this kid, probably early 20s rocking his white boy hip hop bad boy look. There are transcripts of him having sexual conversations with what he believes is a 13 year old girl. He goes to a house to meet the young girl.

        As the cop car is driving away, he's yelling out the window "I don't need to meet 13 year old girls. Look at me! I got all kinds of girls!".

        If you say so.

      There was nothing 'innocent' about that tape-splicing. If lightning strikes the same place several times, you have to see whats attracting it. This wasn't a mistake that will never happen again. I don't know why they keep saying that when they show spliced tapes of hospitals in Cuba and the heavily edited tapes of ACORN.

      Yeah, we saw the crowds and frankly if it came down to a choice of tape, I probably would have gone with the campaign footage too.

      Sadly, you don't get to pick so you're stuck with today's teabaggers and terrified white people.

      His stuttering is a clear sign of his lying. It's wasn't an accident. It wasn't innocent. It wouldn't be possible to pull that 2 month old tape and think that it was a current event. All file footage is marked as such with a date. Someone wanted X number of seconds of rally coverage. They only had X-Y seconds of the current rally, so they added footage from another rally.

      Hannity: Someone took a cheap shot at me.
      Poor Sean treats everyone honestly and with respect, and look at the thanks he gets.

      I have a friend who thinks Seannie is the bees knees, the "Great American" that he wants everyone to call him. I told her flat out that he is a liar and a traitor to the country (by propagating on Fox News).

      We cannot discuss these issues anymore. I do like her, but I wish I could have her see this thread and then tell me if Seannie represents truth.
