(4,310 posts)average working people are invisible to the 1%. So much so, Romney
would speak the truth in their presence without giving a thought to the
fact these are some of the very people he is denigrating.
When he's out there shaking hands with the crowds he must be
thoroughly disgusted. Don't think that's going to be much of a
problem from this point forward. People don't want to shake the hand
of a candidate that has so blatantly expressed his disgust with them.

(9,385 posts)Youtube is where James Carter IV found the video in 10 segments (in black and white, and much harder to see, and hear). He posted at least one of them on his Twitter account (I have his as well now, it's @JECarter4). The video maker retweeted his tweet of the video. Then, because Carter IV didn't have many followers, he noticed that his tweet was retweeted and that the Twitter name of the person who did it was very similar to the name on the Youtube account where he got the video. He made contact through Twitter message, and connected that person with David Corn. Carter IV said on interview yesterday that he doesn't know the real identity of the videomaker either. He did say that the person was not one of the guests at the Romney event.
Just FYI someone here had also posted one of the video segments here a couple weeks ago (it's the one in the Dkos story below), so that's when I became aware of the videomaker's Youtube name, and then when the story broke I saw the reference to Carter IV's involvement and searched out his twitter account and (again because there was so little on it), I saw on his twitter page a retweet by the videographer and put 2 and 2 together just as Carter IV had done.
Anyway... Sea, you should be particularly interested in this person's message (which is the reason I'm going into detail in this post) because the story they were most concerned with getting out, which was on this same hidden Romney video is a very serious feminist story. My impression is (from profile comments on both the videographers' pages etc.) that story is why the taping was done.
Today, the videomaker posted this on their Twitter page -- about a Dkos post on this feminist story. The video in it is a clip from the same leaked video at the same Romney event. Here's the tweet...

@dailykos Apology accepted. C'mon Kossacks, stop the hand-ringing. Expose Global Tech. It's the place Mitt packed young girls 12 per room.

Also thought-provoking, another one on the 17th which I notice has since been deleted...
@MittRomney I released the full video as you requested. Would you now release your tax returns? Or shall we?
The video maker wanted the Global-Tech story to get big exposure, so if we want to do something for that person, then circulating that story is probably the best way to thank them. Also that story goes to Romney offshoring our jobs, which is a big deal too, and needs exposure from that angle as well.
