SELECTIVE EDIT? MOTHER JONES ADMITS ROMNEY TAPE MISSING 'ONE TO TWO MINUTES'
Breitbart ^ | 9/19/12 | Breitbart

Posted on 09/19/2012 5:18:14 AM PDT by KansasGirl

Mother Jones, the left-wing magazine that released a controversial video of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's remarks to a fundraiser in May, now admits that it has no full tape of what Romney said, and that its video is missing "one to two minutes" at the most important moment.

The Legal Insurrection blog's William Jacobson and The Blaze both raised questions on Tuesday about whether Mother Jones had, as promised, revealed the full video, given an apparent jump cut in the critical section of Romney's remarks. 

"Something is missing.  Romney’s 47% answer was cut off before completed, and is not picked up on the Part 2 audio video," Jacobson noted.

Late Tuesday evening, Jacobson obtained the following comment from David Corn of Mother Jones:

According to the source, the recording device inadvertently turned off. The source noticed this quickly and turned it back one [sic]. The source estimates that one to two minutes, maybe less, of recording was missed.

Corn was forced to update his original post, which promised the "full" video, to reflect the fact that a key portion of the video is, in fact, missing. 

There is no way to know, without the missing footage, exactly what Romney said. On Monday evening, Romney called for a complete video of his remarks to be released.

That now turns out to be impossible, either because Romney's remarks were never recorded in full (as Mother Jones now claims), or because some of his remarks--perhaps mitigating some of the controversial effect of his statements--were selectively edited out of the tape by Mother Jones or its chain of sources (including former President Jimmy Carter's grandson).

The Muslim Brotherhood is a late-1920’s British Intelligence creation (as controlled opposition), before Hitler came to national power. It has been in bed with the CIA for 65 or so years.

We've always kept our options open by *talking* to everyone. The way I see it, "in bed" = substantial funding. We were in bed with Stalin. We were in bed in with Arab nationalist governments. Until we started funding the Afghan resistance in the 1980's, we were never in bed with Islamists.

Why not?
Obamakov will stand at the podium rubbing his temple with his middle finger or some other sophomoric stunt. He has not earned the respect of the POTUS, rather he has earned the disrespect of the destructive anti-constitutional communist destroyer of the United States.

They keep claiming it was a “SECRET” video.

It’s no secret that 47% of Americans pay NO INCOME TAXES!
