I worked a tradeshow earlier this year (left-coast liberal interior designer attendees) designer entered my booth and said he would feel better if he could have worn his "F... Bush"

What would be the point of that? I wear my "Team Condi" hat to health food stores.

If you measure the positioning of the X you'll see that is it exactly centered. I don't think it was anything intentional. You'll also notice some text below it. I think it has something to do with control room video calibration.

Actually, he's always been a POS. I used to listen to him in San Diego on a show called Left to Right. He sparred with Barry Farber (one of my favorites and responsible for my taking an interest in conservatism).

It was the height of the OJ trial, Allen would say something so void of reason and common sense and Barry would respond with this patented "Oh Allen" comment like a father talking to his misguided son. It was precious.

Of course then Barry would go on to crush him intellectually. You can still read Farber at Newsmax regardless of what you think about Newsmax.

A switcher is a device that allows the operator to select different video inputs, such as cameras and video tape and put them on the air. A video switcher can also mix video sources so you can have a video camera of the V.P. and superimpose A large black letter "X" over him from another video source.

Or perhaps it was something more diabolical.

It actually looks like someone tried to quickly black out the second part of the sentence.

Place a large "X" over Cheny face and quickly attempt to wipe out the second line and what do you get?

CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE.

This was no mistake.

"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States will now revoke a company's broadcast license if the use of subliminal messages is proven."

Subliminal messages

==================

FLASHBACK, also note:

Two Democrats ask FCC to review controversial 'RATS' ad
Sept 13, 2000

Two Democratic senators have asked the Federal Communications Commission for an "immediate and impartial" review of the Republican National Committee's controversial "RATS" ad, according to sources in Vice President Al Gore's presidential campaign.

In a letter provided to CNN, Sens. John Breaux, D-Louisiana, and Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, wrote to FCC Chairman William Kennard that they were "deeply troubled" by the ad and believed that a review would be in "the best interests of both political parties, and all Americans."

A political stir erupted Tuesday when it was discovered that if the ad was slowed down, the word "RATS" appeared clearly while an announcer criticized Gore's prescription drug plan as one in which "Bureaucrats Decide."

Texas Gov. George W. Bush, the Republican presidential nominee, told reporters on Tuesday that he believed the appearance of "RATS" in the RNC ad was accidental.

It looks an awful lot like an overlay that is partially obscuring the crawler. The letters and symbols are just a shade darker than the crawler's background colors, just enough to stand out, but not dark enough to be read effectively. There is quite an offset ( about 1/2 space) in the crawler text and the overlay text.

Next to the S&P crawler, the overlay text says "to black".

Below the right leg of the X over the VP's face is an image that looks similar to a human face. It can be seen on the negative, but not on the original.

The CNN hack tried to black out the lower words so the super would just say:

Cheney: "I do not believe."

If a tree falls in the forest....

If a failed TV cable network displays an X over the Vice President's face, and no one watches, did it really occur?

I didn't see any words in between the boxes and use a varity of rasterizers to look, also have hi-res clip I looked at.

Last words looks like " or black" to me. Something strange about this.

I've been watching T.V, since 1949. In all of that time, I have NEVER seen anything at all like a big black X pop up over someone's face, like this. And no, I am NOT buying the stupid "glitch" excuse.

Yes they are. In just the last couple months we've seen close-ups of private notes for bathroom breaks, manipulation of Condi Rice's face and a general disregard for the truth WRT Wilson and WMDs. These people threw a fit over the "rat" in Democrat...yet their blatant attempt here will be totally dismissed as an innocent mistake."


I was just watching Discovery Times channel, there was an interesting show about a South African SWAT type team. When it was over, they did a brief news report, covering Cheney's speech. They showed still after still of him in mid word, what looked like twisted, crooked faces. They didn't show any video of him speaking. The still photos made him look mean and evil.

All the MSM tools do this crap. It's all subliminal, meant to add up through repetition in peoples minds.

Is it possible that the huge "X" was intended to distract us from the true subliminal message written in black below the X? Hard to say but I sure hope someone can make it out.
