Who Edited "REALLY" out of Michelle's comment?

[Prefer]

I am REALLY proud of my country.

i.e. I was proud before, but now I am really proud.

Thom was playing the Breitbart clip. The word "really" is edited out of the clip.

Isn't Breitbart a Rupert Murdoch source that is used by Matt Drudge?

Time for the investigation to turn to those two....

[jasmine621]

1. No one. i heard her live and she didn't use the word "really" at that time. nt

[Prefer]

9. You can go and relisten to it yourself.

would you go and find it and tell us what you hear now?

[goodgd_yall]

42. Where's your link?

[Prefer]

48. Link

On the Program Today - Feb 20th 2008

In this video clip (as of the moment I'm posting this link) from Drudge's Britebart site, Michelle Obama's word "really" in "I'm really proud of America" has been deleted from the audio, although you can see her lips say it. Check it out: http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=49244

49. Perhaps the Obama campaign edited to put "really" IN

In order to try to mitigate the damage. That wouldn't surprise me either.

16. You are a Lying... outright lying. It doesn't help your candidate Jasmine.

You will be called on it each and every time.

This kind of objectionable behavior is beneath contempt and cannot be tolerated!

[LostinVA]

35. She isn't lying -- Mrs. Obama said it once and didn't say it once

She gave the same speech twice in one day. THere are probably doctored versions of it available that do goodness knows what to the speech, but the poster isn't necessarily lying.

[boston bean]

40. YOU ARE SORELY MISTAKEN AND OWE JASMINE AN APOLOGY. SHE IS NOT A LIAR.

you are wrong, flat out wrong.

[shireen]

43. Jasmine is not lying, see post #25 in this thread.

These two versions of that speech are starting to cause all sorts of confusion.

:yoiks:

[Gold Metal Flake]

21. Why would you come on this forum and post such an outright lie?

Why would you do that?

[skooooo]

30. ignore list here you come!

[shireen]

44. please reconsider ... see post #43 in this thread. nt

2. i just heard that on Thom's show!!!

:wtf: Who is the low-life who did that????!!!!

3. I had no idea this happened

[libertee]

4. all the talkies are having a hayday with this gal..she's been described as "militant"

[K Gardner]

8. Yes, Chris Matthews labeled her that this morning. I hope you're not happy about it.

[K Gardner]

5. MSNBC edited it out yesterday.. you could see her say it, and hear half the word,

but it was clearly edited out

[shraby]

11. I saw the edited version on Hardball, it

was clearly edited because there was glitch in the video which definitely indicated something was cut.

[K Gardner]

12. Yes, exactly.

[grasswire]

6. didn't politico have it first?

Someone edited it and fed it to a friendly outlet within minutes.

[navarth]

7. I hope somebody JUMPS on this

I just heard that too.

Somebody's DIRTY. How do we drag these bugs out into the daylight?

K and fucking R !!


(on edit) does anyone have a link to an unedited version?

[Prefer]

10. This is being used as the "Dean Scream" and it is completely false

an utter fabrication

[shireen]

13. here a clip of the original quote here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVLc7B5cLLc

Damn! One word really changes the meaning of that sentence, and leaving it out totally takes it out of context.

Michelle, I agree with you,
For the first time in MY adult life, I am REALLY proud of my country!!!

[navarth]

29. I've seen it. There's the proof. Thanks very much.

really interesting, some of the comments there. I was compelled to post.

[SalviaBlue]

14. This is completely unacceptable.

I hope this editing is exposed. The removal of the word "really" makes a difference to the context of the statement. The Obama people should jump all over this.

17. this is HUGH!!!!!

This cannot be swept.

[Usrename]

18. I nominate whoever did this for "Worst Person in the World"

It is appalling, but very typical.

I hope they can be caught.

[Guava Jelly]

19. I heard she HATES AMERICA!

Find a new non issue please

20. i just emailed Countdown ... this is OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Hi Keith & Countdown staff,

some of the video of Michelle Obama saying that infamous quote has been *EDITED*.

(1) "For the first time in my adult life, I am REALLY proud of my country"
vs.
(2) "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country"

Take out "REALLY" and the meaning changes.
(1) is a relative statement
(2) is an absolute statement

Thom Hartmann (www.thomhartmann.com) just played the clip from Matt Drudge's website and the word REALLY was clipped out.

This is sickening! Keith, please set the record straight!!!

Thanks,
Shireen

[K Gardner]

23. Be sure and have Keith address Tweety's calling her "MILITANT" this morning.. and

saying she needs to make REPARATIONS for her comment and maybe she's just upset about SLAVERY.

He really said that.

[shireen]

41. countdown@msnbc email bounced

I re-sent it to [e-mail] but didn't see your post in time to add it.

[Samantha]

22. She gave the speech twice in one day

The first time the word "really" was in the sentence. The second time, it was not. She was probably tired and simply misspoke the second time.

It's not a big deal to me either way, because it was clear what she meant.

[Iwasthere]

24. Yes but it seems it was still edited

The editor must not have known there were two.

[Prefer]

26. Question still remains

WHY WAS IT EDITED?

[incapsulated]

25. NO ONE DID, SHE GAVE TWO VERSIONS HERSELF

Jesus.

She spoke twice, one with and one without the "really".

[ElsewheresDaughter]

27. watch the hands, watch the hands..........pooof

[Prefer]

28. FALSE! The clip was clearly edited, we all heard it

You just said no clip was edited. That is untrue.

There may have been two speeches, but the question remains

WHY WAS IT NECESSARY TO EDIT HER COMMENT at all?

[Saturday]

31. Thanks for straightening these Obama folks out. LOL n/t

[SalviaBlue]

32. The version playing on Thom Hartmann is clearly edited.

You can hear the edit.

[whatchamacallit]

34. You're right, as far as I can tell there are two versions

Those two clips are different speeches, and it would appear that the word "really" is only spoken in the second. The real question is: so fucking what? Why are we helping the republicans by elevating this absurdly trivial issue? 'Really' or not, I agree with her feelings completely.

[Prefer]

37. If it is a non issue, then why was a clip edited???

How is a political fabrication a non-issue...

[whatchamacallit]

38. I haven't seen or heard the edited version

If you have a link I would love the opportunity to evaluate it. If there is a version that has indeed been edited, I will join you in condemnation of the author(s). My point is it shouldn't matter if she said 'really' or not. She doesn't need to be redeemed either way.

[Prefer]

47. Here is the edited version

On the Program Today - Feb 20th 2008

In this video clip (as of the moment I'm posting this link) from Drudge's Britebart site, Michelle Obama's word "really" in "I'm really proud of America" has been deleted from the audio, although you can see her lips say it. Check it out: http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=49244

[whatchamacallit]

50. Thanks

I thing I don't get is why bother doing this? 1st, it's a completely shit edit that everybody will notice, and 2nd, there's already another speech without the word. Why not just put the speech that doesn't contain "really" on your site if you wanna bag her. The whole thing is weird.

[shireen]

39. that's not the point, ONE video was edited.

She said "I'm proud of" in one speech, that's obvious (and I think she misspoke, after all, she is working in a high stress environment).

But the second video, as presented by Drudge WAS OBVIOUSLY edited. I don't know why they even went through the trouble of editing that second tape when the first one was "ammunition" enough ... sometimes, they trip on their own stupidity.

[navarth]

33. It was EDITED. can they make that go away?

I mean it was obvious, obvious, obvious.

Dan Rather lost his fucking job because of a suspect FONT.

This here's obvious manipulation.

I say again:

Someone's DIRTY.

[The_Casual_Observer]

36. Perhaps she just sort of misspoke. Nobody is perfect, even Queen Obama.

[raincity_calling]

45. Sent email to MSNBC

Complaining of using propaganda hit pieces using edited material and material taken out of context.

[Beausoir]

46. Well, obviously, it was...

CLENIS!
