There is nothing remarkable about the tape other than it was taped in secret. Something republicans never do - infiltrate private democrat functions. There is no doubt that this was an 0bama campaign operation. 0bama IS building a dependency state in which we will reach a tipping point where a majority of people have no stake in raising income taxes because they don’t pay income taxes.

There is no doubt that this was an 0bama campaign operation...at least among conspiracy theorists there isn't. (More than 50% consider the guy a hero.)

We're cheering on a weasel like this? This stunt is typical from 0bama so if you're believing this worm's story, it doesn't surprise me that you voted 0bama in again. In neither of the stories done by this piece of garbage did he explain what the big space was in the middle of the 47% part. Why doesn't the press ask? And its interesting how 0bama barely won even with this weasel tape.

"Something republicans never do - infiltrate private democrat functions"..................You mean they didn't use a scam to infiltrate an ACORN office? I'm so glad that Scott will get some reward for his action, unlike O'Keefe who was taken to task for his phony actions,and is still in danger of prosecution. Congratulations Scott. Knowing the truth probably saved the election for America.

bannedmuggs...got call you...O didn't "barely" win...it wasn't a landslide, but it was a lot more than "barely" and your wishful thinking won't negate the fact that this guy saved us all from a rip off artist...

some cons here seem to either not know history or have short memories...I still recall Nixon resigning...yes he was a crook and interfered criminally in the war...then Ford who pardoned him...your pedigree has its issues just like the dems do...from Ike's affair to Bill's, I remember them...so be careful throwing stones

Don't forget that James O'Keefe of ACORN fame also tried to tamper with the phone system in a Federal Building to secretly tape a US Senator.
