SECRET TAPE NOW RELEASED ON OBAMA FUNDRAISER - AND LOOK WHAT HE SAID!

Semi-News / Semi-Satire | 9/19/2012 | Thomas P. Ping

[Tucker39]

Romney was ALMOST right about the 47%.

ElRushbo made a good point today. SOME of those 47% WILL vote for Romney because they were forced into that group in the last 3 1/2 years against their will by the Obummer policies. They DESIRE to get out from under and stand on their own two feet again.....just the thing that R&R will be promising them leading up to Nov. 6th.

This is a fake transcript.

“You Lie” Obama does not have this Romney style of delivery.

BTW, it will be easy to prove that this is not a fake: post the video, with sound.

I have to assume that this reply is also satire, even thoogh, as with my post, it doesn't say so up front.

[DiogenesLamp]

I’ve spoke my piece. I’ve nothing to add.

[zencycler]

Yes, sadly, it may be approaching 47%. And as Paul Ryan, sounding very much like Alexis de Tocqueville, points out, we may be getting close to the tipping point where the takers outnumber the makers.

[Boogieman]

Yes, but you’re not really the intended target of the satire, if you already agree with the viewpoint of the satirist.

[Stand Watch Listen]

BUT!!!...but, but, has NBC autheticated it yet?? ;)

[Graewoulf]

Nope, no satire on my part. Post the video with sound. It is your move.

If this is satire on your part, I am calling you out. Clearly state that your thread is satire, or ask to have your thread pulled. FR is not the New York Times!

[Weirdad]

No surprise.

[JerseyDvl]

That’s not nice.

Read post 15 — This post was already clearly labeled as satire and is posted in the GENERAL/CHAT section where thread police like yourself are supposed to cut more slack.

There are WAY more egregious vanity and other posts on FreeRepublic all the time that I do not see you complaining about so vociferously. Why this one?

Did you click before you read the entire label, and then have the article get your goat? That’s you fault, not the poster’s. What is it that there are so many Freepers in a bad mood tonight?

It remains simple to change your forum settings to avoid general chat.

Appropriately posted under chat/humor/misc. topics, not news.

On the post (before you click), under dateline, it says "Semi News / Semi Satire

That should be enough to clue you in even before reading the post.

Upon reading the post, those keeping up with the news should quickly note that it's a direct mirror image of what Romney said. If that didn't clue you in, then when you get to the end, it's explicitly stated what this is.

No, I'm not going to ask for this to be removed. As another poster mentioned, those not wanting to be bothered with posts like this should either filter out chat/humor/misc, or take note of the third row, where it clearly says, "Semi-News Semi-Satire", before clicking and reading.

” - - - - Satire is the last thing I want to see. Put “Satire” in the title so that people who don’t want to read “satire” can avoid it - - - “

BTTT!

[Ditto]

There are some folks who need spoon feed I guess. Unlike a lot of attempts at satire I see here, it was both well written and timely. Do it again.

Thanks.
