Man who taped Romney's 47% comments speaks out
A Florida man has come forward to say he secretly taped the video last year in which GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney told donors that 47% of Americans are "dependent on the government" and "who believe they are victims."
The man's name will be revealed Wednesday night in an MSNBC interview. The Huffington Post also interviewed the bartender several times and agreed not to disclose his name until after the TV appearance.
The secretly taped video was posted online by Mother Jones magazine in the fall, several months after the May fundraiser in Boca Raton where Romney spoke. The video created a national uproar, as President Obama and his Democratic allies used Romney's words to illustrate how the Republican was out of touch.

This man is likely to never work a rich man's cocktail party again and that would only be the start of it. I wonder how this retribution will shake down. Obviously, the fuckers are playing it off, Romney acting like he accidentally misspoke. Accident? Your hand brushing a woman's ass on a crowded subway car could be an accident; raping the shit out of her is a deliberate act. Romney's statements were just as deliberate.
I assume that the day after this video hit the net the rich men were busy drafting new rules for the help. I assume that any electronic devices will be forbidden from the venue upon pain of termination. How invasive will the pat-downs be? But in a way, I look forward to it. They're going to draw the line in blood, make us and them very clear. "Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on: we cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us."
