Without audio, I don’t know. Some people claim they can read lips... but I don’t buy it. We are not HAL9000’s, reading Dave’s lips about terminating our existence...

I think this is one of those kinds of situations you have to give the benefit of the doubt. Seems like jumping to conclusions otherwise...

I think these kinds of posts are just trying to stir people up to no end. If she said it and a mic recorded it, that would be entirely different. But now we are just going on abstract interpretation of moving lips and rolling eyes. For all we know she was talking about something else entirely.

Also, even if the lip readers are correct, from her facial expression, if she was saying what people here are saying that she said (which I am not in accord with), that could have been a “wowee” moment. We all know she is not exactly groomed for politics, that was her husband that had that training.

Lip reading is very real. Clearly you haven’t been around a deaf people or you would know. But she defiantly said the word ‘flag’ and her facial expression and eye roll shows that it wasn’t something positive.

I've watched the video 5 or 6 times and she seems to be saying "fold the flag" or maybe "fold that flag".

Let's be careful before we bite on this. An experienced lip reader would help tremendously.

I don’t care what she said, it was disrespectful for her to be chit-chatting at that moment.

The last three words are definitely “fold that flag”. I can’t make out the first word(s).

Lip reading is incredibly valid. Many deaf or partially deaf people use it to help them understand what is being said to them or around them.

Watch an NFL or college football game. There’s a reason coaches call plays with a clipboard in front of their mouths.

Most moronic statement of the week. Almost ALL deaf people can and do read lips you fool and many that are not deaf are quite good at it.

You have a pretty interesting past posting history, to say the least. Signed up in September 2009, a handful of posts, and I’m betting you self destruct into a poof of zot dust before the 2012 elections.

These posts are interesting:

I agree with this post’s premise, this won’t be repealed.
The constitutionality of the mandates will be successfully challenged in court, however, the new taxes, subsidies, controls, and regulations will stay in place. Also given the market’s big bounce today, I think I have to admit to myself at this point that, that my distaste for the bill puts me in a minority.

We’re done, alright, if we go against amnesty. Mark my words, and I will be back to remind you on this thread just after November elections.

The amnesty bill is as good as passed. While I do think our party will win major points over last night’s debacle, I do NOT think opposing a done deal like amnesty is going to result in a good outcome for the party.
Remember, when those voters come online, and they WILL, do you want them ticked at the Republican party, or merely ambivalent?
What neither of the earlier replies to msg. take into account, is that they will be new voters. It won’t be just us next election, it will be us and the new “them”.
