Re sensata: beware the ratfuck technique of poisoning the well...

[hootinholler]

Everyone who is pushing the photo of the Chinese plant labeled as being in Il. is being taken in. The plant flying the Chinese flag above the US flag is in China.

I suspect it was planted by someone's ratfucking fucker to poison the well in regards to this story, which when the truth is told is damaging, but the flag photo is providing Rmoney some wiggle room to claim it's all bullshit.

I for one would rather tear them down with unimpeachable facts.

1. I was thinking the same thing.

What we need to do is push the point of the outsourcing and stop forwarding the picture or reframe it as, would you like to see this here or something.

2. 2 important things:

1) Some sort of source, if possible?

2) Please change "someone's bitch"... it's a worthwhile post and it would be a shame to e hidden for that.

4. It's all over the intertubes

Here's one claim it was a US factory flying the chinese flag http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/13/1143996/-The-Sansata-Story-Could-Destroy-Romney

There's a photo all over FB labeled as the plant being in the US. It's obviously a chinese plant, no plant in the US would have its name in chinese on the sign, no factory being closed would put up new signage in chinese as shown in the photo.

3. In the video, there is clearly a chinese flag being flown in Ill.

It is not the image being shown here but it is in the video. The flag is flown near a fence which the workers have used to hang protest signs. It is around 1:11 The workers also complained dthat the American flag was removed, for a time, while the Chinese workers were being trained

5. I think that's a part of the workers/protestors. nm

[hootinholler]

6. Most likely it's part of the protest display

It's clear that one is not being flown by the factory on their flagpole, which is what the bullshit claim is.

7. What's photoshopped in is the American flag.

The parking lot is all scooters!

[hootinholler]

8. I don't know about that

I doubt the US flag was shopped into the video and it's pretty clear there.

9. No, I didn't mean it was in the video.

The photo in the OP is definitely of a Chinese factory in China. I can't feature why the Chinese would be flying an American flag unless they were expecting official visitors from the US. That's what seemed strange to me.

On edit: Clarification: referencing the top photo in the article at the link, not in the OP

[hootinholler]

10. The same factory has a US flag flying in the video.

THe photo going around the intertubes seems to be a frame grab.

[yellerpup]

11. Must have missed that part of the video.

It was very moving and hopefully very effective way to get the word out about Rmoney. This could be IT for his demise. Hope so.

12. Totally agree - I told people to be careful. That picture should be deleted

DELETE! Or at least correct the post by editing

The stuff on the thread I started is true, though. So I doubt it would kill the story

[hootinholler]

17. C&L has walked back the claim

As to killing the story, do you remember the TANG story Dan Rather did?

14. You are so right to be cautious

I've been thinking this since it started trending yesterday. It is enough to focus on the plant closing and leave the flag story alone.
This is the profile of a Karl Rove operation; insert something into an otherwise solid story and take everybody on a wild ride.
He did destroy Dan Rathers career in the same way. The story was true but that memo was slipped in there. And enough with all the demands that the dems jump willey nilley into the flag story.

15. Right on

16. Read post under Sensata drip dtip drip re: video & personal stories.

It is true. My post doesn't have link but does have facts from employees who were let go or laid off. One woman was right about to retire & they screwed her over after decades. Read my post & help everyone with link to video posted yesterday.

Thanks
