Of course. The extreme rightward lurch of your party is not the problem. Nor is Romney's confusing disapprobation of Obama last week. The biased media is the cause of your problems.

Do conservatives expect this to take off like the Romney video? Or to even dilute the Romney video's impact? If so, they're even more delusional than one would think.
Seriously LOL
After a video hits a threshold on YouTube in number of views (301), YouTube then runs the subsequent views through a crazy algorithm to determine whether they are real views or not, and not just spam.
You can do better than this. It's like you're not even trying.
The Republican paranoia is strong with this one. Just to let you know, this happens with every new Youtube video that gets a lot of views quickly. It gets stuck around 300 and then updates later.
Wow this is worst than I thought.
Well I mean this is all over the news, they'd have to be delusional not to think this might be a problem.

You are a professional person who has graduated college, I'm baffled at some of the things you say. Youtube videos are always stuck around 300 views for the first day or two, regardless of how many people view it.

I hope you're trolling on purpose. Moron.
The key in that quote is that Obama never says "redistribution of wealth" but "redistribution of resources".
Of course that won't stop the Kosmos of the world.
Also, 3, 2, 1... until PD comes in and calls that audio the gamechanger.

That's pretty easy to rebutt. "Yes I believe in redistribution, that's what a progressive tax plan is and we've had one for our entire income tax history...the question is whether you want to help everyone have a shot, or whether you're gonna demagogue every government social safety net and cut benefits to the bone so that Mitt Romney can pay 1% while children die from simple preventable diseases and families are thrown out on the streets and starve because we don't believe in simple safety nets in this country. If you believe like Mitt Romney does that the world was much better under Reagan, than he shouldn't duck paying the kind of taxes that his dad paid under Reagan"
what has Kosmo ever done to make you think he can do better?
You know Google's CEO had a dinner at the white house with obama, right?
What do you think they were talking about?
I'm not saying something fishy is going on, but it is....interesting.
I think you misunderstood my post. I'm laughing at Kosmo.
Ah, context is important.
And yet there's nothing at all wrong with this "surfaced Obama audio." Another false equivalency, and this one won't even get media coverage outside of right wing echo chambers!
But nice job revealing that conservatives are worried about Romney's 47% moment. You can smell the fear the right now, and it's quite potent.
Trying to convince Obama to replace his Blackberry with an Android phone over iOS or WP?

Youtube has done this for SEVERAL YEARS.
What confuses me is why Google would aid Obama. I thought all businesses loathed the job killer.
Yeah this is going to go over so well.

College education =/= common sense. I work with mostly college educated adults and they are as capricious, gullible, and follish as anybody I have ever known.

That Obama audio is less about exposing Obama and more about reinforcing the argument that the media is on his side; I think we can all agree the media will focus more on Romney's comment than this. A snippet of a comment from 1998 is not big news. It might have worked in 2008, in fact it probably would have to a degree (in light of the Joe the Plumper stuff). But as republicans continually forget, Barack Obama is already president now. People already know who he is and can vote on his policies and personality.

I saw a youtube video a few weeks back about Ron Paul (or it might have been something to do with Paul and the Republican convention, I forget) that had the viewcount thing.
The top comment was some guy going, basically: "OMG look at the viewcount versus the number of likes and dislikes someone's doing this to make RON PAUL look bad QUICK SOMEONE SCREENCAP THIS SO WE HAVE PROOFS!!!"

Oh look, another Kosmo post and run Drudge story
People that complain about the media need to stop whining. Conservatives go crazy at the coverage of Romney's missteps because they agree with what he says, so to them it's not shocking. They forget however that a smaller and smaller portion of Americans are bat shit crazy.
It's like 1950's lynchers and segregationists wondering why the media is spending so much time on MLK and Jim Crow when there are perfectly good stories about how liberals are godless they could be running instead. They don't understand how bat shit crazy their positions are and why they are so alarming.

Maybe Obama has to personally explain progressive taxation to all of America.
Then he can break down just who it is exactly that makes up Romney's 47%.
Or you know, people could just flaunt their ignorance less.

Romney endorsed Obama?
Then again, this would play into his plan to hold all opinions on every subject ever.
I can hear you tin can clinking.

Can we redistribute his posts at a certain level to make sure better concern trolls have a shot?

The entire Romney campaign from foot soldiers to the top should be shitting their pants at this tweet...Even if it's a bluff.

It stuck so well because the republicans were actual obstructionists. And Bush is the main blame (if you are looking at the government) for the economy.

I don't believe it at all.
well Republicans won't listen to the full message, the keyword in there is redistribute and that's all they need to talk about.
