How Jimmy Carter’s Grandson Helped Leak the Secret Romney Fund-raiser Video
http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/09/james-carter-iv-helped-spread-secret-romney-video.html ^

The damning video of Mitt Romney telling a room of wealthy donors how he really feels about the freeloading 47 percent of Americans "who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it," among other candid things, has been floating around online in bits and pieces for three months, but didn't hit the big time until it was published by David Corn at Mother Jones today. Credited as a "research assistant" on the story is James Carter IV, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, who has been toiling online as an opposition researcher and is "currently looking for work," according to his Twitter bio. "I've been searching for clips on Republicans for a long time, almost every day," said Carter this evening. "I just do it for fun." But by connecting Corn with the mysterious uploader of the clip, Carter has uncovered his biggest story yet, one that could potentially affect the outcome of the election. (And get him a job.)

Carter told Daily Intel that he first noticed a portion of the video in which Romney discusses using Chinese labor while working at Bain Capital. That clip, uploaded by a YouTube user named "RomneyExposed" in late May, and then again in late August by an account called "Rachel Maddow" that has since been deleted, eventually made it to Buzzfeed and Daily Kos.*

Anything that associates Jimmy Carter with Obama is pure win in my book!

Hardly. Makes him look like a closet conservative if anything.

If paying taxes is as “patriotic” as the Democrats claim it is, why do they want 47% exempted from it?

Heard a black caller on the radio today saying that she doesn’t plan to vote for Barack this time (and claims to have voted for McCain in 08) but that she doesn’t have qualifying income to pay federal taxes. She says she’s retired.

Why is it okay for her walk the line around “income” taxes ut it is wrong for the bulk of Romney’s annual money to come from investments rather than “income”?

Somebody said “macaca” again apparently.

Still waiting for ABC News to finally air the video they have (it is ABC, right) of Barack Obama at the dinner honoring an Islamist terrorist.

They didn’t air it in 2008, there is still time in 2012.

What are y’all hiding it for?

Funny how someone cuts out the official PC-BS and it’s “damning”. This just shows that the Liberals really actually believe the BS that they keep telling each other. The rest of us know better.

Leftists can’t see the world any other way than through their “lens”,

so they think this is devastating.

This just goes to PROVE that Conservative celebrate July 4th and Liberals celebrate April 15th.

Wonder if he found the Obama tape with Kalid Rashidi while he was doing his research?
