Verrrry interesting exchange on Bush earpeice theory. Anyone got links?

The jist is that back on D-Day '04, while Bush was honoring the heroes of D-Day in France, there was a screw up with the audio feed and the voice of the guy talking into Bush's earpeice got broadcasted along with Bush's speech. You could hear the guy saying things right before Bush said them, word for word. Bush was talking with his usual pause-n-blurt cadence, which allows for a word-feeder to do the thinkin' for him.

I'm sure that takes a LOT of skill on Bush's part. Anyone got a link to that?

[BillZBubb]

1. No links but I hope the Dems have a scanner at the 1st debate

They need to pick up and record the feed to Bush's piece. Then after the media whores have annointed Bush* the debate winner, the Democrats need to release a commercial with the feed played over a tape of some Bush* responses.

That would be the end of the election. Kerry would win right then.

[Lancer]

2. I also saw the earpiece VERY clearly

at the Rose Garden "joint appearance" with Allawi on Thursday. When * cocked his head to the left, it was easy to see.

Sorry I don't have a link to the D-Day speech, but remember that incident vividly. It was painfully obvious.

I can't bear the thought of him doing this during the debates, but honestly, does he have an alternative?

[Bucky]

6. Well, I googled for "Bush + hearing aid" and couldn't find anything

But I'm surprised that he has a hearing aid big enough for us to see. Certainly the top dogs in the government have laser-feeds and micro receivers to keep all this from being too obvious. I found that one link by Googlin' for "Bush earpeice" but the only cyber chatter on this topic comes from opinion bloggers--hardly a credible source (says this opinion blogger)--and no one has any pictures or concrete proof of Bush cheating.

Still, Prison Planet has an excellent video of Bush fuckin' up when things went off script during in his April press conference.

8. So glad I'm not the only one who saw it LIVE.

[Sparkly]

3. Actually, if this is the one I remember

it was sort of reverse-feedback, where we were hearing the broadcast in delay -- so you'd hear him say the words faintly and then loudly. I don't think it was him imitating a different voice, it was just an audio glitch in the broadcast.

[dogtag]

7. You are 100% wrong, Sparkly.

It was NOT feedback. I heard it and saw it with my own eyes. How am I so sure that it wasn't feedback, you ask? Because Shrub was not able to repeat the words verbatim. He made small changes. Echo or feedback can't come out with DIFFERENT words.

I'm not the only one who saw it happen on live TV, but I'm one of the few. Within half an hour, Reagan's death was announced.

[Sparkly]

9. Then I have a different event in mind

In the one I heard, his exact words and inflection were "repeated" -- no changes. Some thought he was simply repeating what he was hearing.

[Bucky]

10. That's why I want a link, vid link if possible.

He sed, she sed is useless. I can see a feedback glitch causing the tinfoil crowd to insist Bush is just a Rove drone. But I can also see that the monkey has to have his shit spoonfed to him before he can fling it. He's not the swiftest boat on the Mekong, after all.

But there's no way we can judge (or use this information) unless there's some concrete evidence.

[dogtag]

12. Silly me...I thought this would be a huge story

and jumped up and down in sheer glee, certain that our beloved boy king would be exposed and held up to public ridicule. Alas, I only saw a couple of mentions on forums, nothing from the media. Somewhere there is a video clip and unless it's been altered, there's no mistaking the malevolent use of an ear-piece meant for translation cleverly (not quite) used to feed lines.

[jjmalonejr]

11. No, dogtag, you're wrong

I saw it happen on live TV, too, and I agree with Sparkly.

It was NOT a different voice feeding Bush his lines. It was an echo of Bush's voice. Yes, the words were repeated verbatim, along with all the pauses and other verbal tics he's prone to.

It was an echo. Sorry, you did NOT catch the man behind the curtain.

[dogtag]

17. I stand by my story and I spent a good hunk

of my professional life in recording studios. I know a thing or two about feedback and this was NOT feedback. I wasn't in front of the telly when I heard the 'small' voice reading a line, then Shrub's voice repeating it, not quite verbatim. If I'd been sitting there watching, I could easily have mistaken it for feedback. Yeah, I did hear the man behind the curtain.

[KittyWampus]

24. The D-Day WAS Reverse Feedback. Eloriel Posted A Thread WHILE It Happened

and a bunch of us DU'ers were listening and posting it at the same time.

We started out thinking it was prompter but in the end... it was FEEDBACK or some audio wierdness.

Check the archives.

This nonsense about an earpiece is ludicrous.

There is NO WAY Junior could have done this with Gore debate and Gore NOT mentioned it.

[Lord_StarFyre]

4. Too bad we couldn't get our hands....

...On the Transmitter Frequency.

That way WHEN Dumbya and Company decide to CHEAT during the Debate, we could either:

A: Jam the signal, leaving Dumbya to twist in the wind without the comforting words of the prompter.

B: Tranmit intermittent Gaffs and Screw ups, and see how many he STUPIDLY repeats, Live, on the Air.

[punpirate]

13. Hmmm...

... just some harmonics to set off some feedback in his skull that would make him want to rip his own head off. That should do it... he'd have that baby out of his ear in a heartbeat.... :P

[rndmprsn]

5. i hope kerry brings an electronic jammer to the debate...

and sets it on the podium before they begin so shrub knows he's doomed.

the look on his face...that my friends would be a kodak moment like no other =]

[lefador]

14. Even better....

If Kerry would stop right before the debate and notice Bush's earpiece and ask what it was and if he could remove it. Asking Bush to do that, would break any sort of concentration for the monkey, and the people behind the courtain would be shitting bricks. And then with almost no pause go right into the debates, Bush would be out of it in 2 minutes. Done and done.... LOL!

[City Lights]

15. Wasn't there an incident at one of his 'press conferences'

where some signal got crossed and his feed was broadcast to the entire room full of presstitutes? I think it happened at the pig farm, but my memory sucks with details like this.

[Cronus Protagonist]

16. It's called an Inductive Audio Prompter

The speaker wears a wire around his neck (rather appropriate, I think) and a tiny earpiece that can't be seen even from fairly close up. The teleprompter reads the script and transmits it to a belt pack which is wired to the transmission loop under the speaker's shirt. The loop produces a magnetic field around the speaker's head that the earpiece is able to pick up and modulate into audible sound.

Here's one model.

There's nothing sinister about this, unless, as suggested, he's not really answering questions himself, but that's yet to be proven. For speeches, since he's functionally illiterate, it's probably the only way to go.

19. "The loop produces a magnetic field around the speaker's head"

Good God! No wonder he's losing his sense of balance and keeps falling off his fall-off-proof scooter! The radio waves are destroying the boy's equilibrium--possibly inducing hallucinatory paranoia and causing him to invade unthreatening countries!

[OBrien]

18. google Geroge Bush earpeice

kerry may need a doc to check the idiots ears before the debate

[Bucky]

20. Oh, yeh. They'll totally go for that.

[tuvor]

21. Does this help?

22. ARE THE SERIOUSLY GOING TO LET BUSH WEAR AN EARPIECE???

Sorry for the caps, but I didn't want to start a new thread. I thought this was all rumor, but now it seems like people are talking about it seriously. Tell me that Kerry did not agree to let Bush wear a fucking earpiece. Tell me this is just speculation. Tell me that the leader of the free fucking world can have a debate without his hand held.

What's the real story?

[Sparkly]

23. I don't think so

I've lost the link to the PDF of the debate contract (anybody got it?) but I recall they aren't allowed to bring notes or other things to do the podiums. Wouldn't that include earpieces? I don't know. It certainly should.
