The Secret Video

Anyone catch this part of the SECRET Romney video?
It's all actual factual until reality enters the room.
No mention on MSM.

Quote:
Audience member: The debates are gonna be coming, and I hope at the right moment you can turn to President Obama, look at the American people, and say, "If you vote to reelect President Obama, you're voting to bankrupt the United States." I hope you keep that in your quiver because that's what gonna happen. And I think it's going to be very effective. Just wanted to give you that.
Romney: Yeah, it's interesting…the former head of Goldman Sachs, John Whitehead, was also the former head of the New York Federal Reserve. And I met with him, and he said as soon as the Fed stops buying all the debt that we're issuing—which they've been doing, the Fed's buying like three-quarters of the debt that America issues. He said, once that's over, he said we're going to have a failed Treasury auction, interest rates are going to have to go up. We're living in this borrowed fantasy world, where the government keeps on borrowing money. You know, we borrow this extra trillion a year, we wonder who's loaning us the trillion? The Chinese aren't loaning us anymore. The Russians aren't loaning it to us anymore. So who's giving us the trillion? And the answer is we're just making it up. The Federal Reserve is just taking it and saying, "Here, we're giving it.' It's just made up money, and this does not augur well for our economic future.

Of course the MSM would not mention it. They're too busy trying to get Obammie re-elected. It's sad what has happened to the MSM over the last 30 years or so, they've become nothing more than an arm of the DNC. And it really doesn't matter if Romney says that in a debate, most Obammie voters are too stupid to understand it. They just want their "free" government goodies.

Why Parse, When the Full Transcript Has Been Available This Week?

The "MSM" hasn't covered the topic that was just before the one the OP posted either:

Romney: I say that because there's the percent that's, "Oh, you were born with a silver spoon," you know, "You never had to earn anything," and so forth. And, and frankly, I was born with a silver spoon, which is the greatest gift you could have, which is to get born in America. I'll tell ya, there is—95 percent of life is set up for you if you're born in this country. And I remember going to—sorry just to bore you with stories—but I was, when I was back in my private equity days, we went to China to buy a factory there, employed about 20,000 people, and they were almost all young women between the ages of about 18 and 22 or 23. They were saving for potentially becoming married, and they worked in these huge factories, they made various small appliances, and as we were walking through this facility, seeing them work, the number of hours they worked per day, the pittance they earned, living in dormitories with little bathrooms at the end with maybe ten rooms. And the rooms, they had 12 girls per room, three bunk beds on top of each other. You've seen them.

Audience member: Oh, yeah.

Romney: And around this factory was a fence, a huge fence with barbed wire, and guard towers. And we said, "Gosh, I can't believe that you, you know, you keep these girls in." They said, "No, no, no—this is to keep other people from coming in. Because people want so badly to come work in this factory that we have to keep them out, or they'll just come in here and start working and try and get compensated. So, we—this is to keep people out." And they said, "Actually, Chinese New Year, is the girls go home, sometimes they decide they've saved enough money and they don't come back to the factory." And he said, "And so on the weekend after Chinese New Year, there'll be a line of people hundreds long outside the factory, hoping that some girls haven't come back and they can come to the factory. And so, as we were experiencing this for the first time, for me to see a factory like this in China some years ago, the Bain partner I was with turned to me and said, "You know, 95 percent of life is settled if you're born in America." This is an amazing land. And what we have is unique, and fortunately it is so special we're sharing it with the world. I'm concerned about the future, but also optimistic as I said, and I look forward to getting America back on track, and having people plan on bringing their ideas and their dreams to this country. We get big dreamers, by the way. Oh, I just, we didn't talk about immigration today. Gosh, I'd love to bring in more legal immigrants that have skill and [unintelligible]. I'd like to staple a green card to every Ph.D. in the world and say, "Come to America, we want you here." Instead, we make it hard for people who get educated here or elsewhere to make this their home. Unless, of course, you have no skill or experience, in which case you're welcome to cross the border and stay here for the rest of your life. [Audience laughs.] It's very strange. It's run by people who don't understand the words "global competition of ideas," and our idea has to win, but only if America reigns strong. But with that introduction, I'm going to turn to you for counsel, advice, or questions. Policy questions. Wanna talk about tax policy? Or political questions? How I win? Please.



Those unfortunate Chinese factory owners . . . having to erect barbed wire fences and guard towers to prevent folks from sneaking in . . .

Plenty of mention on MSM. I just finished watching it on MSNBC. The Ed Show to be exact.

So..if your intent is to hint that the 43% piece is taken out of context: FAIL

Silly me. They're only MSM if they didn't mention it.
Uh huh.

The full tape is linked to the Mother Jones release by lots of MSM websites. I found it on CNN initially. What part of it is "secret"?

In the funnies...



“Gov. Romney [was] at a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser talking to rich people about poor people in a manner you would imagine cartoon rich people talk about cartoon poor people,” Stewart quipped.....

“He was a refugee from Mexico,” Romney’s mother said. “He was on relief, welfare relief, for the first years of his life, but this great country gave him opportunities.”




Stewart summed up the double-standard, he said, of the purveyors of this fallacy, "If they have success, they built it. If they fail, the government ruined it for them. If they get a break, they deserve it. If you get a break, it's a handout and an entitlement. It's a baffling, willfully blind, cognitive dissonance, best summed up by their head coach."

Roll clip of Craig T. Nelson on Glenn Beck's now-cancelled Fox News show.

"I've been on food stamps and welfare. Did anybody help me out? No," Nelson said on June 2, 2009.

Those filthy moochers

I suspect that there are as many clueless people on the left as there are on the right. The difference is that the clueless lefties are mostly pushed to the fringe. The right takes their clueless and puts them right up front. Mitt and Ann are exhibits A and B for this proposition. Ann Romney actually suggested that she and Mitt know what it's like to struggle because as a young couple they had to liquidate part of Mitt's portfolio in order to make ends meet. How completely detached from reality does one need to be to be to say such a thing? It really is hard to comprehend how she could have spent this much time on Earth without learning much of anything about it. And Mitt said recently that he didn't inherit anything. He and Ann made their money the old fashioned way. How are we supposed to respond to such delusional claptrap?

Ezra Klein, as usual, nails it with this morning's column in the Washington Post:
Quote:
...When he said this, Romney didn’t just write off half the country behind closed doors. He also confirmed the worst suspicions about who he is: an entitled rich guy with no understanding of how people who aren’t rich actually live.

The thing about not having much money is you have to take much more responsibility for your life. You can’t pay people to watch your kids or clean your house or fix your meals. You can’t necessarily afford a car or a washing machine or a home in a good school district. That’s what money buys you: goods and services that make your life easier....
