12. Bu$h is a fake. Him being promted I believe is very real. And very scary.
Anyone not scared of Bu$h and his handlers at this point are not thinking.
Peace

3. AAAAAND! He's also looking down to read it at the same time.
So evidently his reading skills are so poor that they can't be counted on to get him through a speech and he needs verbal prompting as well. No wonder he has as much animation as an auto voice response on an answering machine.

5. It sounds to me like that's Bush's voice.
The tone of voice and the timing are exactly the same. I think what's actually happening here is that Bush's voice is being played live, but there is a brief delay on the video (and the audio that goes with it). You're hearing the same audio feed twice.

20. you are right
it happens often when video is fed via sattelight and auto is sent by land line.........that way you still have the auto if the video feed is lost.....noting wrong here....I know because I work in broadcasting.....hope this helps....FOX just did not turn down the auto feed wile taking the video feed......:freak:

24. I thought that at first
Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 08:49 AM by purji
but in the beginning of the clip(linked in the Op) he is talking about, looking forward to working with Cherac,the voice on tape says it with no problem but Bush stumbles on it.

(on edit)
I don't think he is smart enough to read the teleprompter.

26. Yes, it's unlikely
that the person allegedly feeding him the lines would sound _exactly_ like him. I think stuff like this makes us look :tinfoilhat:.

6. naw..
I don't think so. Besides, I am certain that B couldn't say one thing while the next sentence was being pumped into his head.

8. I tend to agree.
That's a really difficult thing to do even for smart people. For Bush, it would be virtually impossible, IMO.

30. Ask any tv reporter
Repeating something that's being pumped into your ear is a lot harder than it might seem. It's a skill that has to be learned. You know what they say - you can't teach a stupid president new tricks.

7. It's sounds like his voice; can he be reading from a rehearsal?
It bears investigation; I can't say I'm convinced yet, for some reason.

9. This was posted and debunked yesterday.
Apparently the broadcast was time-delayed but the real-time audio accidentally bled through. This was discussed here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=672822&mesg_id=673088

10. its sounds like Bush talking ,not some one else

15. With the exact same words, too.
I'm with you, just a broadcasting artifact. Yeah, I think he has worn a wire & gotten prompted before, but this isn't proof.

13. Sounds like Bushler's own voice...
...perhaps made in a pre-recording.

The guy can't read, so he pretends to be reading off the page.

It sounds like his reponses in the debate were canned.

No one tells Bush what to do, except the little voices in his head.

14. Sounds fake to me
At more than a few points there is the exact same amount of sibilance , the exact same guttural utterances (uh), and he nails exactly what the "voice" says every single time.

I think they just distorted and shifted his voice.

17. That was classic!
Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 08:41 AM by chefgirl
OK, never mind. I will defer to Skinners superior knowlege. I had the thought that it sounded like the little idiot at first, but there are parts that really do sound like a different voice.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

18. It's audio delay
You can hear that it is * voice and has the same inflections in the speech. Don't take the bait.

19. As indicated in yesterday's thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x672822

this is an audio glitch.

If it were prompting, there is no way it could possibly assist Bush, since the "other" voice overruns his own so much. This would only confuse him further.

21. It is interesting that about halfway through he pulls a thing from his ear
Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 08:42 AM by CornField
Then, toward the end, it looks like he puts it back in. LOL!

25. The technology and the techniques have been around for decades.
There are US and foreign patents on some of this. Many people that have worked in related fields (recording studios in my case) are aware of this-unless they're in a "trance".

Certainly this could be done-perhaps it would be a good thing to take a look at the research and development of this kind of tech and ancillary stuff (once given short shrift as tinfoil).

27. Okay here is what happen
I am sure you all have seen a reporter doing a live shot from Baghdad and you notice a delay between the anchor ? and the reporter replay however if you are on the phone witch is a land line there is no delay....they used a land line in this case for the auto over radio and a back up to the video........FOX left the auto feed turned up is all.....:freak:

28. Two Comments On This......
1. Early on in the tape you hear the background voice give a line - but when * gives the same line - he flubs it (we hear - look forward to workin - he says - look workin to forward. This leads me to believe that he is being prompted. My theory on this is that when * practices his comments/speech they tape record him and then his own voice is played back in an ear piece to help him deliver the comments/speech with the right emphasis. This also accounts for the choppiness in his delivery. (i.e., the recorded * says a line - then the real * gives the line; say a line - give a line; say a line - give a line, etc).

2. It appears that it is just the opposite when you hear the person ask a question in the middle of the tape. The questioner asks the question - you hear the question played back; asks a question - question plays back. Opposite of what you hear when * is talking. Almost like someone doctored the tape so as to cover up the fact that * is being fed his own lines. If this happened - putting in the questioner's voice after he asked a question - it appears to sound like a tape delay issue but it really gives them the ability to spread the cover story that it is an audio delay problem.


Think about it - later if it is discovered that * is actually being fed lines before he says them - it looks bad if the lines were fed by someone other than himself. If, however, they record *'s own voice and he's fed that recording - later if it is discovered that he was being fed lines - they can say - it was his own voice - nobody was feeding him lines - he was feeding himself.

Whow - how Rovian. I'm scaring myself.

29. Its clearly just audio delay/ghost. You'd have to be a moron not to ...
... recognize its Bush on a wierd delay. The accent, the pauses, the inflections, etc. are all 100% identical.

31. Not 100 %
In the very beginning of the clip the first voice says the line no problem but Bush stumbles.(he is talking about Cherac,and looking forward to working with him)

32. I agree that it sounds like Bush, but i don't think its the same audio
Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 09:21 AM by Dufaeth
As another poster already pointed out The pre audio doesn't stumble while Bush does.
