The blue-scrotum John Gibson video has been doctored!

[backscatter712]

Nobody questions that Gibson's an asshole, but I'm not one to throw away our credibility based on yet another Internet hoax.

First, the video that has us in an uproar.

Now, the original, undoctored version.

1. ??? i watched both videos. 1st of all, how are we in an uproar? and 2nd, what is the difference?

2. Did you actually watch the video or are you on drugs?

The ending, the first video shows Gibson talking about Holder's "bright, blue scrotum", when he actually was talking about Holder's comments and never referred to a scrotum.

6. Here is the issue. Gibson says Eric Holder, but its Gallagher's voice saying "Bright blue scrotum"

The exact same way he said it before. So the author of the video just took Gibson saying Eric Holder, and doctored the video so Trace Gallagher previously saying "Bright blue scrotum" would appear immediately aftewards, making it seem like he said "Eric Holder's Bright Blue Scrotum:

8. Yet again..

I have lost all ability to determine if people are being sarcastic or not... :sigh:

9. It's not you, it's not me, it's a sign of the times.

No I wasn't being sacrcastic, I was being paranoid. But that was last night and this is a brand new day.

And I still don't know. Do you?

11. It looks like his mouth matches up with the allegedly un-doctored one.

This is why a really independent source needs to monitor biased sources like Fox News, either side has a reason to doctor the video either way. It would be really outrageous to have John Gibson be so racist, so Fox might have a good reason to help doctor a new video, on the other hand the people who originally posted it against Gibson are probably on the left and have reason to try to torpedo him, beyond his own self-torpedoing on a daily basis.

10. Oh wow, I wonder who did this.

You just believe it because it's video, and you assume that someone else has would know whether or not that really happened. I think that's very interesting, why would someone hoax that on our side when it's so obvious?

12. And another thing, if YouTube is in HD, why is the video distorted?

Perhaps it was distorted to make it harder to see Gibson's lips move?
