Rush Limbaugh Thinks That Video of Clinton Collapse Is Fake

Rush Limbaugh thinks that there are two separate videos of Hillary Clinton stumbling into her car — but one of them is a fake.

Limbaugh came upon this idea apparently because the radio host does not understand that, often, pirated videos will appear on YouTube having been mirrored, or flipped, from the original source.

Limbaugh said:

In the first video, the van approaches from the left. So what they want you to believe is that they’ve simply flipped this to show you a new angle. But you can’t flip the video. I mean, you can play a video backwards, forwards, but it doesn’t change the angle you’re looking at. The footage is identical.

The second video purports to show a new angle. And this new angle shows Hillary in even greater distress, or I should say gives you a better view of the distress, than the first video. But what is intriguing to me is that nobody seems to have noticed that it can’t be the same video. How can, in one video, the van approach from the left and the door on the right side of the van open and Mrs. Clinton gets in. In the next video, same setting, but the van approaches from the right with the street being on the left of it. And then the door opens in the van, which would be the left side of the van and then Mrs. Clinton gets in.

And all of the people in the video appear to be properly placed, and they appear to be reversed, lapel pins are on the opposite lapel in the second video. It’s a really great trick, but the second video can’t be — one of the two can’t be real.

“It’s always about El Rushbo. He is getting nervous that Trump is going to win.”

Better check your meds. Rush does NOT want Hillary to win. He’s been never Hillary for twenty-five years.

Or maybe he’ll have something to say about the controversy he’s provoked! I don’t doubt that he reads us :-)

[moonhawk]

He wasn’t even around in the 70s, so it must have been pretty easy to turn him off.

So how would Trump answer it. Not everybody believes Soros is behind everything.

Some people are perfectly evil without any help from Soros.

Why does Rush have to get this right every time? I don’t hold him to the standard that he has to agree with everything I believe. I bet Trump won’t be talking much about Soros and the Bilderbergers.

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t listen to him at all, any more, these days.

He's on at a time that I'm not available; I'm a radio person, but only hear him when I'm home sick. Except for Saturdays, when I catch up with some youtube reruns, the political commentators that I routinely pay attention to almost all come from Free Republic. There are lots of very intelligent and thoughtful people here, who aren't being paid to express themselves. Profit in these areas always screws things up, one way or the other ;-)

Again, that’s absurd.

[Jamestown1630]

Thanks for posting that. I didn’t know that we could hear the whole show later, on Youtube.

[Jamestown1630]

Yeah, odd. And odd that some people don’t know which side of the street to drive on ;-)

You can very easily flip it - using the GIMP or even online there are tools to reverse or even flip a video... no big deal.

Rush needs to stick to politics. Obviously one original and a second that was flipped easily with software.

Yeah, odd. And odd that some people don’t know which side of the street to drive on ;-)

The "fake" video Rush talks about was obviously reenacted over in England. I am surprised Rush didn't figure that out.

“Or maybe he’ll have something to say about the controversy he’s provoked! I don’t doubt that he reads us :-)”

True dat. Freepers have caught Rush quoting them many times. We’re show prep central, baby!

[Jamestown1630]

LOL! Maybe we should start charging rights ;-)

. After almost two decades on FreeRepublic, I am still surprised by people who comment on articles they have not read and videos they have neither seen nor heard.

You and me both FRiend. And whats sad is that most of these post and run Rush bashers aren't going to ever realize that he didnt actually say what this article says he did.. PATHETIC, and its only getting worse as time goes on, or is that just me....

[Paradox]

Apparently neither you nor Rush understand basic technology.

Apparently, you fell for this Hoax. Rush absolutely knows about this, listen to the show or read the real transcripts..

Oh, and I haven't listened to Rush in YEARS, so I am not defending the guy, just monitoring this thread, amused, amazed, and somewhat saddened by the gullibility that I've seen.

Of that I have no doubt (me excluded however been IT and IT mgmt for 18 years)...my issue is directly to this particular poster calling him a Soros disciple in so many words. I grow tired of the trashing of folks who have been part of the conservative cause for decades because a conservative come lately (extremely light conservative) discovers what the word means 60+ years into his life.

[Jarhead9297]

Nor will he talk about the founding fathers, framers, constitutional principles, federal limitation of powers, state rights.....

[moonhawk]

Mediaite started the controversy, and it’s living rent free in the heads of some Freepers.

Al Baby: Is that ol wind bag still on the air?

ME to Al Baby:

You keep asking that question on almost every Rush thread, ad nauseum.......So what's your point

We know you don't like Rush so give it up jerk..There comes a time when even the most obnoxious jackass eventually realizes it's not welcome in the barn...........

So tell me sweet Marmelstein, you STILL think I'm a Rush thread troll?????

Get over yourself.......

[miss marmelstein]

You’re really creepy. A very troll-like.
