Which one was it?
"If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance."
News item: A man who performed sign language translation for speakers at the Nelson Mandela funeral has been revealed as a "schizophrenic" fake, who was using a bogus sign language as people watching were pleading for someone to get him off the stage.

"What the Hell's he saying?"
Which reminds me- I got an email from Obama's Organizing for Action folks (Jon Carson) this week providing me with a clip of the great speech which I am supposed to send to all my friends.

| Friend -- President Obama paid tribute to Nelson Mandela this morning in his powerful, heartfelt remarks at the memorial service in South Africa. This one's worth watching and passing along:

Here was my response:
"Dear Jon, I thought I was going to gag."
And here was their response right back to me:

Yeah, I do have a question for Organizing For Action: Maybe I'm overly suspicious, but why is it the above video and the others I have watched do not show the fake interpreter standing to Obama's left and doing his thing while videos devoted to the interpreter himself are all showing him with other speakers?
Just asking.
They weren't impressed with the interpreter's performance. That's why. Also, if you were deaf, the interpreter wouldn't have helped you to understand what the President was saying.
ReplyDeleteOf course it is ok to edit out embarrassing footage .... You are dealing with the most liberal of the liberals so anything that is not helpful to the cause is suppressed. I seriously doubt if there even was any hesitation to alter the image.
ReplyDeleteObviously, no one can see yet another example of incompetence.
Since that site is the main source of information for true liberals, nothing actually happened.
