5. It took a lot of courage to release the video

He had to consider his personal safety, as well as the safety of friends and family, also possible job loss, loss of anonymity, and a huge backlash from the right. He is a true patriot.

"I'm registered as an independent .. but typically vote Democratic." - Prouty

[fadedrose]

13. I hope he finds a good place to work that deserves him..

But his moral compass works so well that an even an honest employer might have problems for fear of being exposed for the smallest wrong...

[kag]

17. Nah.

An honest employer would understand that Prouty isn't "out to get" anyone. This was an extreme situation that he thought hard about before exposing. I think many employers would LOVE to have someone as conscientious as Scott Prouty.

[fadedrose]

21. I'm going by "nobody's perfect" - but I think you're right....

[Whisp]

14. He's kind of like a mondern day Atticus Finch..

I believe he mentioned he would like to get into Law, that would be sweet. I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to help him with that.

[murray hill farm]

27. Yep!

Good comparison!

Modern day hero is Scott Prouty.

[WillyT]

20. HUGE K & R !!!

[Augiedog]

22. Beer

He will always have a smile and a beer awaiting him at my house if he ever needs it. Many thanks to him. He is a latter day Thomas Paine and his common sense and courage may have saved America from psycho who would ultimately have out sourced American democracy, probably to North Korea. sorry I am giving psycho's a bad name but I needed a telling analogy.

[2naSalit]

23. A True American Hero!!

[snappyturtle]

24. K&R with great appreciation for Scott. To me he is a hero. nt

[GoCubsGo]

69. He is to me, as well.

And, believe me, I don't use the term "hero" lightly.

[turquoise n pearls]

25. Courageous is an understatement!!!!

Scott Prouty's intelligence, and courage, to not only recognize how important it is (was) to listen intently to what the other party candidate running for the highest office in this country had to say and what his thought process is/still is, and then to capture it & later recognize the importance of what he had just heard, and had on video.......nothing short of miraculous.

Obama's campaign was in trouble, the polling was almost neck to neck before this video, from the other candidate's own mouth.....his own verbalizing his disgust w/regards to 47% of us Americans..........well, if one looks back at the polling numbers, this was the game-changer without question. Scott, you sir, are a real honest-to-real, good and decent human being and American who cares. Peace and blessings to you, Mr Prouty, and may the wind be at your back.

[xtraxritical]

26. Scott single handedly saved us from Romney and the republiCONs. Yea Scott!

[lunasun]

28. Does he have a place/ point of contact where these words can be passed to him? THANK YOU!!

You were very brave and helped America from a dark future.
A certain percentage will not believe it unless you show it to them.
They got their wish and may have changed their vote

Is there a group anyone knows sending him a group signature THANK YOUs petition style?
I would sign it but I hope he already knows how many people are thankful for his courage!

29. Great name, Prouty.

Fletcher Prouty was another good one.

[TBF]

30. We need more folks like Scott to speak up -

many of us who have worked for very wealthy folks have heard them utter things worse than what Romney said. I really give him credit for releasing it - that was a tough thing to do.

[kjackson227]

31. DONE! Thanks for saving the country, Scott!

39. Way to go Scott

[Tippy]

40. Thank you Scott....

[CarmanK]

41. I was so impressed by his maturity and his reasoning for remaining in the shadows.

He came out because he sees that Romney is trying to resurface once again as a man of the people, when we all know that he is not.
And I have to agree, what made me so appalled by Romney's remarks was the view he had of the Chinese factory he visited. He was impressed that the young women were so willing to work for pittance, that the squalor they lived in was acceptable and he accepted the garbage that the barbed wired fences and armed guards were there to keep the trespassers out.
Prouty said it, he could be investing in AM, bringing jobs back to the towns that BAIN CAPITAL raided and instead promotes himself as an AMERICAN with no loyalty to America.

[Scuba]

47. Yep, it was the Chinese factory, not the 47% remark, that really got to me.

"They want to get it. Isn't that great?"

And may I say, I would like to see you in a position of political authority, befitting the courage, ingenuity, and public spirit which you have shown. Have you thought of getting involved in politics?

[LittleGirl]

50. American Hero for me! nt

[AsahinaKimi]

51. I posted a message to him on twitter

Telling him it was a great interview and he "favored it"

https://twitter.com/AsahinaKimiko/status/312045186173775876

[Kalidurga]

52. He was shocked by the same thing I was so yes I surely do appreciate Mr. Prouty...

He really thought the China thing would get people to take notice. So, did I. I actually thought the 47% bit was mild in comparison to Romney's story about his visit to a Chinese factory. Romney really does approve of slave labor and he really would like to bring that here.

[ruffburr]

74. More than words can say

I really think this stopped the momentum that somehow Romney had attained.

[nolabear]

75. They have "I am John Galt." We have "I am Scott Prouty."

Not in jest. The intelligent, compassionate, activist for the people as opposed to the smug, unprincipled jerk with an air of superiority and the firm conviction that he got where he was by his efforts alone.

A man who decided not to be a coward! How rare!! Congress, and I say with a sad heart many Democrats, have so much to learn from this one man.

May the path he's chosen to walk clear the way for many to follow.

Thank you Scott Prouty!!

[JeaneRaye]

111. Decency is not dead.

That's what struck me the most about this man. Decent... Unselfish. Moral. I watched his interview with Ed Schultz last night and those were things that came to my mind then and today while watching the continuing coverage. This man did not think about himself at all. He only looked at Mitt Romney and determined that this information needed to be made public. He didn't editorialize it ....he just made it available. Too bad that there aren't more people like him.

[MadamYes]

112. A True American.

Scott Prouty + Anonymous (Ohio) = Obama Victory (2nd term) !

[subterranean]

116. I appreciated him before I knew who he was.

Now I appreciate him even more! I thought he handled himself very well on The Ed Show.

[eppur_se_muova]

117. I love Scott Prouty for what he did, but ...

where has he in 2000 when we really needed him ?

(Other people may have known things they could have revealed -- perhaps they saw what happened to Dan Rather?)

You saved the country, Scotty. Well done.
