On the radio today I heard THUNDEROUS CHEERING for Bush at rally

[homelandpunk]

in Pennsylvannia. It was startling. I mean the crowd sounded thunderous, and emotional, and....scary.
But then I read that these were all people INVITED to this rally. Regardless, it makes for IMPRESSIVE audio. And the news guy is never going to mention the fact that it is the rabid Bush cultists invited to cheer. The sound of an adoring audience will be heard every time they report one of these rallies. It is pretty sickening.... especially when they then report on where Kerry was and the audio is just some background noise of a a few people talking as they do their reporting over that.
I am sure not one of the people at that fucking rally even bothered to see F-911. It kinda scared me to hear the noise they were making...I think North Korean Kim Jong Il worshippers were never this loud and vociferous at one of his rallies. Pretty damn unsettling.

1. yes--they definitely slant

the coverage to show him in the best possible light. At least our guy is getting OK coverage though...

2. Kristallnacht 2004

4. More like Goebbels in the Sportpalast in 1944

His speeches on how they were going to rain death and terror on their foes and gloriously win the day brought down the house, but he was very careful to fill the stadium with a select crowd. The bulk of the German people were mightily sick of the war by that time and knew it was all a load of b***.

3. I think that is disc 2149 of the Pepper Tanner Library...

"Cheering and Applause-15 Cuts"

Give me about 20 minutes to get it all edited together. I could make the neighbours think the Battle of the Bulge was being fought in my bathroom, all thanks to sound effects records.....

5. TV Cameras Were Rolling Also

so they turned up the volume -

6. Canned applause??? Damn, don't that beat all//// who woulda think

[DieboldMustDie]

7. From what I understand, you can't get into a Bush rally...

without signing what amounts to a loyalty oath. :puke:

[Reciprocity]

8. And they (the media) have the nerve to call our convention too scripted!

All Bush needs to do now is only hold his rallies on a sunny day and the differences between him and Hitler disappear.

9. Don't rule out the possibility of "technical assistance."

Even bad sitcoms have laugh tracks. It's not hard to do.


A sudden power failure (or someone accidentally disconnecting the right cord) that cut off the sound system would reveal it. FYI.

[homelandpunk]

11. No. These hand-picked sickos really make that much noise.

In fact, my guess is they know that that is the main reason they got the invite and are quite thrilled to be knowingly complicit as cogs in the Rovian propaganda assault. These are desperate fascists. 90% or more of those in such rallies would be happy with a dictatorship.

10. It was all fake. Puppet people paid to cheer!

[ItsMyParty]

12. Been seeing a news clip that is being run a lot today---I think it is

from Philadelphia?????? Anyway wherever he was in the last few days, there is this clip about how now they are having trouble getting away from protesters and they show big crowds with bad news signs, booing and chanting, etc. And you know what? The police are just gestering to the crowd with a mild "calm down" hand gesture........in other words, I think the cops like it!!!!!!

[Joanne98]

14. That wasn't true where I was

the only people getting booed where the pro-lifers.

[Joanne98]

13. It's not fake

I was at a Kerry rally last night and I bet there were 15,000 people there. Bush hatred is big in Ohio and not just with the foot soldiers. This election is taking off. If Bushco doesn't steal it they can't win. Keep an eye on the e-voting machines.

15. It seems like most of these Bush* hatenannies are indoors.

The small venues let them collect a relatively small number of Bushbot fanatics and generate what sounds like a huge noise.

Put the twerp outside and you won't hear much. That's why they like pre-screened audiences and smallish arenas.

And of course the whore media don't point out that Kerry is getting 10,000 people at a time to less than 5,000 for the Chimp.
