The Real (Abridged) Republican Convention
A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION
by Brennan Houlihan

I recorded all the main speeches from the Republican Convention [and] put the video together during the weekend that followed.

There was no audio tweaking. Everything was as they said it. There were no repeated clips either. They really said those things that many times. In fact, there were even more instances of these words that I didn't use because the camera had cut away to audience reactions.

My video was limited to the prime time speakers: Bush, Cheney, Laura Bush, Pataki, Giuliani, Miller, McCain, and Schwarzenegger. Bin Laden was mentioned ONE time by Gov. Pataki, but that was it. Still, I think only one mention hints that there was an effort to keep that issue quiet (especially when compared with Saddam Hussein). Outside of the 8 prime time speeches, I don't know if OBL was mentioned or not.

[COMMENT: Even though you think you've seen it all, it's really worth your time to watch this short video. The Republican's constant playing of the fear card is truly astounding. Do you think these people really that afraid?]
