MICHELLE OBAMA GAVE THE SAME SPEECH TWICE!!!!!!!!!! one one11111 I'm SERIES!!!
For the love of Pete, she gave the same speech twice in one day. Once she said, "really proud" and once she said, "proud" without the 'really'

No one is editing her. No one is misquoting her. No one from the Clinton campaign is trying to take her our of context. It is not a conspriacy of the corporate media.

Holy smokes people. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE BECOMING.

1. It must really bother Obama supporters, because they're overreacting....
once again.

And ignoring the very plain evidence that she gave two speeches.

And posting a plethora of threads to justify/explain/rationalize.

If they're so sure that Obama's got this thing sewn up, this "really" thing shouldn't bother them. It's "just a word."

2. "No one is editing her. "
You're wrong.

It was edited, and if you would take some time to research this for yourself Im sure you can find it.

4. Why the need to lie about it?
Even if she gave two speeches and said it differently, the fact remains that the clip being played on Breitbart, AP, MSNBC and FOX WAS edited. Anyone can hear it. Please listen to it yourself and try to tell me that the edit is not there.

So the fact of an underhanded political hit job remains.

11. I saw MSNBC show both of them
early in the day they showed the second one, but then they started showing the first one:

5. Heard the edited version on Thom Hartman, AAR
Once you know it is edited, it is clear that it is. There is a definite beginning of the "r" sound before "proud". Really WAS cut out!

6. Yes, just look at the video here
http://www.foxnews.com/video2/player06.html?021908/021908_hapnow_obama&Happening_Now&Making%20Waves&acc&US&-1&News&258&&&exp

They TOOK the word out of this video, from the speech that HAD the word "really" in it.

Where is the video of the speech that DIDN'T have the word "really" in it? Link to that and we're fine.

But Fox EDITED this in order to put it on the air and their website and get the "lynching party" going.

You're welcome.

9. See No, 6.
They DID EDIT the speech with the word REALLY in it.

They did not have video of the other speech.

Fox EDITED the speech with the word "REALLY" IN IT.

It's clear from the background they used the "REALLY" speech and CUT OUT THE WORD in order to have tape to gin up the lynching party.

Get it?

Even if she made the speech the other way, they EDITED the video they used.

You're welcome.

28. Thanks for posting these.
I saw the side-by-side earlier on another website - can't remember which one.

Notice that the 2nd clip includes the word "really" - unedited.

The question I have is where did the so obviously edited clip come from that's being shown here as proof that Fox is trying to smear her?

This makes no sense to me. The first clip in the side by side is from Fox - so why would Fox need to edit the other one from C-SPAN when they already had the first one on tape?

I suspect that someone (an Obama supporter with a video editor) is trying to make it appear that Fox is lieing in order to smear M Obama - and therefore that she never said what she said - that it's all a Fox hoax.

But, she said what she said - and those words will have larger and larger importance in the days ahead. They are already ricocheting around the RW websites like lgf.

37. Oh...so FOX took the 'really' one out?
how surprising. But the fact remains she gave the same speech once with really, and once without.

We can agree on that right?

14. Is that what this fuss is about?
Who cares? These speeches are not spontaneous, you know. So what if she used one more than once? As long as it wasn't twice to the same audience, who cares?

The debate is whether there's a conspiracy
to portray her as NOT having used the qualifier "really".

and you wouldn't believe the attempts to hijack the thread. It was unbelievable.

The lengths people will go to to hide the truth is astounding.

30. I'm being attacked in this thread over saying it -- it's bonkers
I never said there wasn't a doctored one -- I even said it wouldn't surprise me if there was -- BUT Mrs. Obama DID give the speech twice and did drop the "really" one of the times. I'm not criticizing here for anything she said at ALL, just that she gave the speech twice.

32. That's exactly the point I made
and you'd think I'd kicked her in the throat.

The vehemence with which some people deny the truth when it doesn't suit them is shocking.

33. Actually in the same sentence she said..."because people are beginning to hope again."
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 03:59 PM by Infinite Hope
So there is additional context. Read the whole sentence. Look what YOU'RE becoming: A Narrow-minded Republican.

Quotes:
Speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today, would-be First Lady Michelle Obama said, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback."

Then in Madison, she said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
