UPDATED: Did Sanders uses shoot the gays rap song at CA rally?But things get even stranger than that. Theres live Fox News video of the same event that includes no music whatsoever. (The Fox tape goes mute at one point, but when its not muted there should be music, like there is on the Sanders campaign tape, and there isnt.)
So there are three different videos of the same event. Now, is it possible these are different events in California on the same day, using the same actors and the same backdrop? Yes. But still, this is very strange.
Could this just be another lying smear attempt by Hillary supporters?

(11,945 posts)Obviously, if such a song had been played, it would have to have been a mistake on someone's part. Bernie is, and always has been, pro-LGBT rights. He leaves Hill and Trump completely in the dust on that issue.
Perhaps someone is hoping to alienate the LGBT vote? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

(5,861 posts)What do you think is more likely:
A) ABC isolated the audio of the song from and ripped it out(a painstakingly time consuming and expensive professional task).
B) Or a random youtube user, with dozens of rap uploads, overlaid the song on the video(anyone can do this quickly)?
I am genuinely curious what you think is more likely.
PS - Before you answer, which I am sure you will:
Fox's recording also does not have the song. So they would have had to do the same audio engineering.

(10,164 posts)The video of the entire rally, now posted at the site the OP of the previous thread sourced the original ratfucking attempt from, shows the same candidate entrance footage with different music. That music is at a much more plausible relative volume compared to the crowd noise.
More tellingly, the few people rhythmically clapping and/or grooving to music in the first video are doing so at a noticeably different tempo from the song, which has a very prominent beat. People don't do that. Their motions, however, do match the music in the full-event video.
It's an obvious fake, a clumsy overdub. That OP should be deleted.

Sanders used Twitter to highlight that long-standing support Monday, just one day before the Supreme Court heard arguments on marriage equality. That comment included an overt reference to Clinton albeit to the former president and not the current presidential hopeful:

(11,945 posts)From The Hill, June 2015:
Sanders remarks come a day after Fridays landmark 5-4 Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.
He argued he was well ahead of the historic decision, unlike Hillary Clinton, his main rival for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.
Back in 1996, that was a tough vote, Sanders said of his opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Not too many people voted against it, but I did, he told listeners in Nashua, N.H.
Sanders at the time served in the House of Representatives, which voted 342-67 in favor of DOMA. The Senate voted 85-14 in favor, before former President Bill Clinton signed it into law.
That was an anti-gay marriage piece of legislation, he added of the law that defined marriage at the federal level as the coupling of one man and one woman.
Sanders on Saturday praised Americans for creating greater opportunities for same-sex couples. Fridays Supreme Court ruling, he charged, was not possible without national pressure for gay rights.
No one here should think for one second this starts with the Supreme Court, Sanders said.
It starts at the grassroots level in all 50 states, he said. The American people want to end discrimination in all its forms.
Because of the decency of the American people, because of the strength of the gay rights movement, we have changed consciousness in this country, Sanders added.
The Vermont lawmaker criticized conservatives who reject same-sex marriage on religious grounds.
We disagree with right-wing Republicans definition of family values, Sanders said. They think that family values are opposition to gay marriage and gay rights.

(11,945 posts)From Huffpost Queer Voices, June 2015
DOMA was one of the worst of the Clintons past offenses against the LGBT community, but by no means the only one. As British author and blogger Andrew Sullivan observed in 2014:
[Hillary Clinton] was the second most powerful person in an administration in a critical era for gay rights. And in that era, her husband signed the HIV travel ban into law (it remained on the books for 22 years thereafter), making it the only medical condition ever legislated as a bar to even a tourist entering the US.
The Clinton administration also implemented the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy, which banned gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. Where and when it counted, Sullivan concluded, the Clintons gave critical credibility to the religious rights jihad against us. Hillary strengthened this credibility for years after she left the White House, calling heterosexual marriage a fundamental bedrock principle in 2004, and she continued her lack of support for marriage equality throughout her 2008 presidential campaign.
Of course, Clinton has since evolved on LGBT rights, as many have. Thats wonderful. But the problem is, she only came out in support of marriage equality after it was not politically risky to do so. In fact, by 2013 - the year Clinton announced her full support for marriage equality - Democratic support for same-sex marriage was the norm, not the exception.
On such an important moral issue that affects my life and the lives of thousands of other Americans, making decisions in this manner is rather despicable. Additionally, Clintons habit of doing what polls deem politically popular is the reason why so many voters find her inauthentic. Now, if Clinton were the only option for the Democratic presidential nomination, I would understand why we should support her despite these flaws.
But she isnt the only option.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the longest-serving Independent in the history of Congress, is also running for the nomination. And unlike Clinton, his record on LGBT rights is historically excellent.
Sanders voted against DOMA, one of the few members of Congress to do so, at a time when such a stance was not politically popular. Four years after DOMA passed, Sanders helped champion Vermonts decision in 2000 to become the first state to legalize same-sex civil unions. This set a national precedent for LGBT equality achieved via legislative means. In 2009, when Vermont became the first state to allow marriage equality through legislative action rather than a court ruling, Sanders expressed his support once again. Truly, Sanders has been a real leader on LGBT rights, even if this leadership isnt recognized in the way that Clintons current support is.
So, why didnt Sanders put out a fancy video endorsing LGBT rights like Clinton did? Probably because he has nowhere near the wealth and big corporate donors that Clinton has. Sanderss top donors consist of labor and teacher unions, whereas giant corporations and mega-banks such as Citigroup and Goldman Sachs make up Clintons list (click here to view an in-depth comparison of the two candidates funding sources). If youre thinking critically, this fact alone should influence your vote much more than any well-produced campaign ad.
