Hillary Clinton Accused Of Using Static Noise To Conceal Fundraising Speech

[pallidin710]

Source: Huffington Post


A local reporter in Denver says Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton used a “static noise machine” at a fundraising event to prevent the press and public from hearing her speech.

The fundraiser was Thursday at the residence of Colorado gov. John Hickenlooper. The event was private, but since it took place outside — in a tent in Hickenlooper’s yard — anyone nearby would be able to hear much of what was going on.

But apparently the Clinton campaign wanted to make sure that didn’t happen, according to CBS Denver reporter Stan Bush, who tweeted that the campaign pointed a white-noise machine at the street just before Hillary Clinton spoke.

Wondering what they was talking about??

[George II]

32. She probably won't say anything, it's such a nonsensical story. She has more important things...

...to spend her time on, like continuing her successful drive to the nomination.

[AgerolanAmerican]

41. Note to whoever's navigating that drive

the nomination is not in the direction of the ditch on the side of the low road

[left-of-center2012]

46. HRC keeps losing to Bernie

[trueblue2007]

50. Bernie keeps losing to HRC.

[JDPriestly]

78. Not recently! Though he will not lose in every state, he is picking up momentum which means

that Hillary is losing it.

[beastie boy]

107. With victories like this, who needs defeats?

Even when he is winning, he is losing. Zero net gain in delegates for Bernie.

[DemocracyDirect]

137. Even when she wins she loses.

Her delegates don't show up for the next caucus.

[George II]

139. Only when the Sanders supporters send out misleading and false communications.....

......to Clinton delegates.

[Angrydemex]

94. nope

Not true

[George II]

57. And increasing her delegate lead

[SoLeftIAmRight]

67. some have no dignity in victory and fight unity with every word

you are the pride and joy of all democrats

[Chan790]

119. Yea, tis' true. Posters like George make me want to not vote for Clinton if she's the nominee.

I almost wonder if posters like that are interlopers who come post this crap in an effort to destroy any chance at unity in order to win the Presidency for Paul Ryan.

If G2's this unbearable now, imagine what he'll be like if she wins the Presidency. I have loathing for Clinton...but her supporters could still learn a lesson in graciousness from the Secretary.

[George II]

127. Some of Sanders' supporters "could still learn a lesson in graciousness from the Secretary".....

....who campaigned tirelessly with her husband in 2008 for Obama after she withdrew, and actually put his name in nomination at the Convention.

Sanders? The jury is out on that one.

[Chan790]

131. Yup, you've convinced me.

No way in hell I will vote for Clinton if she's the nominee.

[George II]

124. I presume you're admitting that Clinton has won the nomination. Thanks for that.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

141. you are very funny

you are free to indulge in your fantasies

[revbones]

90. Not lately...

[George II]

125. Saturday isn't "lately"? She increased her delegate lead by 4 in Wyoming, 11-7.

[revbones]

126. 7-7...

[George II]

128. Okay. Just remember, "the truth will set you free"!

[revbones]

129. Sure. As long as you don't try to mislead any more... nt

[George II]

132. Mislead?

Excerpt of committed Superdelegate list:

Ana Cuprill WY DNC Clinton
Mike Gierau WY DNC Clinton
Mary Hales WY DNC Clinton
Bruce Palmer WY DNC Clinton

I'm pretty sure you've already received the whole list from the Sanders campaign.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Democratic_Party_superdelegates,_2016

[revbones]

133. Yes, mislead. Super delegates vs pledged delegates. nt

[George II]

135. Time to take a refresher course on Democratic Party rules. Have a wonderful day.

[revbones]

136. Yes, you definitely should. Super-delegates haven't voted yet. nt

[cui bono]

47. Yes, like keeping her Goldman-Sachs speeches under lock and key.

Hm... sensing a trend here...

.

[MADem]

52. She has more speeches "out there" than Bernie has TAX RETURNS.

Bernie has yet to release ANY returns--a summary from 2014 that raises more questions than it answers is NOT a return.

[JDPriestly]

80. Face it. She doesn't want Bernie voters to know how about the nasty, snide, cheap remarks

she makes about Bernie in her speeches to her snooty, rich donors.

That's my guess. Until I am disproved, I will stick to it.

I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

[Dustlawyer]

86. Exactly, check out my sig line!

She tells every group exactly what they want to hear, right down to her fake accents. If there was ever a genuine bone in her body, she must have had it surgically removed.

As far as Bill's comments the other day to BLM, he kept using the worst example of the drug violence of the 1990's, a 13 year old girl being shot. He said this at least two times so the outrage of that would prevent people from seeing the big picture. He made it seem as though everyone arrested was that horrible of criminal.

The crime bill could have been narrowly tailored to harshly punish murdering rapist drug dealers, but not a kid smoking a joint. That crime bill was so sweeping it caused the U.S. to lock up a higher percentage of its people than China or Russia. It was most definetely aimed at blacks, and creating our for profit prison system.

That was what was so bad about what he said the other night. He used a racists dog whistle, "Super Preditors," so that white people, especially in the South where Democrats are weak, would support him while simultaneously telling AA's that he was keeping them safe! It was ingenious at the time, but it's shelf life ran out once the long term effects of this policy have come to light. Now he is trying to distort history by playing on our emotions for a murdered 13 year old girl. It is despicable!

[mdbl]

100. I noticed this too

Bill used right-wing hate radio tactics of using one example to represent everyone. Deceitful.

[Plucketeer]

68. Successfully gleaning the well-to-do

People's progressive that she is.

[lastone]

77. Democrats are about transparency

Republicans are about secrecy, you are a fool with your statement.

[itcfish]

123. Amen

You are so right! This is just nonsense.

[cantbeserious]

2. HRC - Duplicity Is As Duplicity Does

eom

[BeanMusical]

61. Yup. And she sucks so much in that old SNL sketch that I couldn't last for more than 20 seconds.

[billhicks76]

85. Yes Officially Now An Enemy Of The People

[Zira]

87. +10000

[LiberalElite]

3. This is such a stupid lapse of judgment on her part-

did she seriously believe that this would not be reported?

[pallidin710]

6. Just a testament to her transparency.

What she said to the elite's was worth this event getting reported. (No pun intended)

[Jitter65]

13. So you believe she did it? nt

[LiberalElite]

17. YES nt

[cui bono]

48. Of course!

After the other dirty tricks her campaign has employed, why not?

.

[Duval]

62. Another example of her "judgment". nt

[retrowire]

4. Hillary's supporters don't care for transparency when it comes to Hillary.

But if Bernie says he's going to the Vatican to speak OH HE BETTER FUCKING MEAN EVERY WORD!!!

lmao XD

[pnwmom]

19. When you're talking about campaign strategy, you do that privately.

That's where Bernie does it, too. He doesn't give away all his plans to the opposition.

[retrowire]

21. It was a fundraising speech.

Not a campaign meeting.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/04/07/clinton-campaign-uses-noise-machine-to-block-reporters-from-hearing-fundraiser-speech/

The press were allowed to hear part of the fundraiser, but not another.

Try again.

[passiveporcupine]

58. Yes and it was a high money campaing fundraiser

So, you know who she was talking to. Wealthy patrons.

the top donor level for the fundraiser was $27,000.

From the link above which also has some videos of the white sound noise happening. My browser won't play them.

[7962]

102. Now you'll get hammered for linking to Daily Caller, as though the story is a lie

[retrowire]

104. lol oh i know

If a Republican said the sky is blue these guys would start denying that. XD

[LiberalLovinLug]

112. She was speaking to her base...same as Bush's

The Haves and the Have Mores.

[frylock]

25. Bird up!

[dorkzilla]

42. snort. bird up.

[frylock]

88. It's the worst show on television.

[Not Sure]

93. Omg! I love that show.

Eric Andre is brilliant

[erlewyne]

5. If you want to hear

you have to pay. He speeches are not free.

[TexasBushwhacker]

91. Yup, pay your $2700 or GTFO n/t

[Thinkingabout]

7. Was she shouting?

[upaloopa]

8. Well Hillary will be making a big speech in Washington on Jan 20, 2017

You all can tune in to listen and she'll make many more after that you can listen to.

[daleanime]

12. And ever one of them would be to report....

that she sold us out again. So when would you stop listening?

[PatV]

66. How's she doing to win? The Democratic Party is down to a historic low of 29% (thanks to

Payday Debbie and the Third Way Clintons. Now Half of us support Sanders. And very few will switch if she wins the nomination. And then there are the Millennials - they hate her so forget their votes.
And then there are the Independents - They hate the Clintons as well (that's where all the old time Dems are now)


She'll never plop her patoot in the Oval Office. Never.

[7962]

103. Because the GOP is stupid enough to run the only person people like LESS!!

[Chan790]

120. It's hard to argue with this...

except that I am skeptical that Rinse Penis...Rance Prius...err, this guy:



...has any intention of letting Donald Trump be the GOP nominee, even if he has to brain him to death on the convention stage with a golf club in front of 40,000 witnesses and live news broadcasts on all the major networks to prevent it.

[7962]

121. But if they dont give it to Trump, they still lose.

Because millions of butt-hurt Trump voters will stay home and bitch rather than vote. Then when he loses, they can say "see, we told you trump was the man!"
They should let trump run. And when he gets destroyed, what will the RW excuse be this time? They got "their" guy! Cant blame it on the media, they already know the media isnt on their side, so who to pin it on?
Because I really think if its Trump, either bernie or hillary will beat him as bad as any republican has ever been beat

[Cassiopeia]

16. If that happens

it will be just minutes before the impeachment hearings begin.

[RoccoR5955]

20. I think that that speech shall be

on June 8th and you can tune in and listen then and it's not gonna be what you thought it was.

[Jarqui]

30. How much will the transcripts cost America that day?

$250,000 each or will she run machines to produce white noise so no one can hear her? Personally, the latter has some appeal.

What kind of conduct is this for a candidate for President?

It's probably not going to do her a bunch of good because the GOP probably have the Wall Street transcripts already for the general election because a bunch of their supporters work for Wall Street like the Clintons do.

[Ruby the Liberal]

73. I think that depends on who the GOP picks

We keep hearing that they (WS) would rather run against Bernie - so why haven't they taken her out? Insurance. If the GOP nominates someone they don't want, they will publicly back her to their last dime and those transcripts will never see the light of day.

[Jarqui]

84. The GOP can read the polls like the rest of us.

They've been working on the media campaign against Hillary since 2014 - testing ads with control groups.

Bernie polls much better against the GOP. Hillary polls terribly with the Independents - they hate her and don't trust her. Bernie polls very well with the Independents.

The GOP want to face Hillary. If she wins the nomination, the onslaught of GOP ads will begin.

[Ruby the Liberal]

105. Independents aren't Wall Street

Yes, they detest her - but they aren't the ones contributing millions to her campaign, nor are they the ones who may have the transcripts. Wall Street cares about one thing - who will protect the casino. If they peruse the field and determine that its her, then Katy bar the door. The GOP political wing will fall in line.

[roguevalley]

45. she won't get that far. no one will be left who can bring themselves to buy her lies and deceit.

[Roland99]

54. A congratulatory speech to President Sanders!

[Fuddnik]

69. It's gonna take her that long to concede?

[Plucketeer]

71. Yeah - it'll be her concession speech.

She'll finally give up when Bernie starts to take the oath of office.

[mpcamb]

9. We can listen, but can we hear? Might turn out the same as this one.

Especially if it's a fund raiser.

[Deadshot]

10. She's very transparent, isn't she?

[Jitter65]

11. And we should believe reporters because....Washington Post? nt

[cui bono]

49. I've seen plenty of Hillary fans loving WaPo on here today.

Why don't you?

.

[passiveporcupine]

60. There is actually a video of it at a link posted above in this thread.

[Cassiopeia]

14. Back yard deals.

We can't afford Hillary in the WH.

[PoliticalMalcontent]

15. Amazing cognitive dissonance

from someone who has claimed on numerous occasions from 2008 to 2016 to be the most transparent candidate/public figure in US History.

[frylock]

23. Oh, she's transparent, alright.

You can see through her like a screen door.

[pnwmom]

18. So what? If it had been INSIDE, it would have been private and no one would have expected otherwise.

So, if they figured out a way to hold it outside and keep it private -- good for them.

They're at a fundraiser talking campaign strategy and what their plans are for the rest of the primary -- OF COURSE they don't want their plans to be spread all over the internet.

And of course you're wondering what they were talking about . . . like the Bernie computer guy was "wondering" when he dug into HRC's proprietary data files.

But just because you "wonder" doesn't mean you're entitled to know something.

[reACTIONary]

24. +100 !! (NT)

[AlbertCat]

28. like the Bernie computer guy was "wondering" when he dug into HRC's proprietary data files.

See... you were almost making some sense, and then....

you blew it!

[pallidin710]

35. OK

"They're at a fundraiser talking campaign strategy and what their plans are for the rest of the primary"
Campaign strategy with your fundraisers. Hmmmmm I'll just leave that one alone.

I see what side of the fence you like to play on. I think that a citizen of the good ole USA is entitled to know as much as they like to know about a prospective POTUS.

But dude.....If HRC wins the primary.. I support her against them other bozo's. I'm telling you this because your message "mood" seemed to be a little ticked off. Hopefully we can converse like adults.

[Fritz Walter]

55. Just as Mittens' 47% comment was made indoors

That, too, was at a fund-raising event, not a campaign speech. And a recording of those comments torpedoed his campaign. Thank Dog.

What does she say to donors that she doesn't want the voters to hear? What is she promising them -- a la Goldman Sachs -- that she doesn't want the hoipoloi to hear?

And her followers cannot understand why so many people distrust her!

[passiveporcupine]

70. Being inside, nobody expects to be able to hear you

But when you hold an event outside and then go out of your way to block the sound so no one can hear you, you've just admitted you have something to hide.

Campaign strategy? At a fund raising dinner? Maybe. Or maybe she was afraid of being incriminated for things she wanted to say to these wealthy people.

Of course, for $500 someone could have snuck in and revealed all later. I doubt very much she said anything that would have caused her a problem. It just really doesn't look good.

[NurseJackie]

97. Nailed it... they feel "entitled" to know, don't they?

[pinebox]

130. We ARE entitled to know! We're the frickin' American people!

And we're voting for a damn candidate for POTUS for frack sake! We deserve to know ALL because they represent US! Why is this so hard to understand that the people deserve TRANSPARENCY!

[2naSalit]

134. +1

[liberal N proud]

22. Oh for f#&$ sake

Anything?

Next thing you know she will be using the wrong toilet paper!

[reACTIONary]

27. +100 !! (NT)

[Red Mountain]

26. She has many faces

You only see the one she wants you to see.

When she wants you to see it.

[reACTIONary]

38. Ohhhhh.... spooky....

.... she might even jump out at you in the dark!

[whereisjustice]

29. Be careful of candidates using technology to control people, Hillary is a walking moral hazard.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

31. Sounds like someone mis-tuned the PA system

Which is incredibly easy to do. Listen to any PA system just about anywhere.

But, you know, because it's Hillary, this has to be yet another a grand Benghazi conspiracy.

[nichomachus]

36. Yeah, sure

And I've got a reality-based bridge in Brooklyn that you might be interested in.

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. Hehe.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

51. Are you familiar with Occam's Razor?

Hah. Who am I kidding? Of course you're not.

- C.D. Proud Member of the Reality Based Community

[nichomachus]

33. The static noise WAS Hillary's speech

That's all she's got at this point.

[Purveyor]

64. ^^^this^^^ You hit the 'nail on the head'!

[earthside]

34. I live in Denver.

I know who most of these people are who paid the thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to hobnob with Hillary.

They are elites of the power structure, some Democrats, a few Republicans, a lot of millionaires.

Not a single Hillarian posting here in defense of Hillary hiding behind the sound machine could afford to buy with a month's wages even the shoes that these people wear.

Hillary is not one of us ... she is an elitist multimillionaire.

[SammyWinstonJack]

44. And became an elitist multimillionaire by selling us out....well her and bill both.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

37. Oh,...so you wanna give me some static?

[hollowdweller]

39. Why wouldn't you WANT people to hear your message?

[MADem]

56. If you are telling a bunch of Democratic DONORS to DOWN TICKET RACES how you intend to

beat the GOP, don't you think that it might not be a bad idea to keep that information AWAY From the Republicans?

Maybe?

YA THINK?


She was raising money for OTHER DEMOCRATS. Why? Because she is a DEMOCRAT.

There is one other person who is running for the Democratic nomination--and he has yet to raise a DIME for down ticket races.

Not ONE DIME.

But if he ever did, I'd advise him to use a white noise machine, too.

[Fuddnik]

72. If they're with her, the tickets going down alright.

[joedogs]

40. this is ok with all of you

wow I can't believe that there are people on this site that say this is ok, not once have I ever heard of any candidate repukacan or democrat using a white noise machine to stop the press from hearing what is said at a fundraiser not a strategy meeting. Anyone know what the price of admission is to this fundraiser. And this sounds more like it came from Koch brothers play book on getting elected

[Ford_Prefect]

79. We still have those among us who prefer the NSA approach to learning what was said.

I guess they also prefer not to know how funds are raised on their behalf. We mere mortals have no right to hear the voices of the powerful as they meet in cabal plotting the future. Surely they said nothing that will not stand the light of day?

One must ask if they did not want her remarks heard beyond the terrace why did they convene outdoors so near the street? Wouldn't a meeting behind closed doors have been more suitable to the purpose of the event?

[AzDar]

53. Be. Sure. To. Drink. Your. Ovaltine!

Unbelievable...

[Hoyt]

59. I doubt such machines would work to block out all sound. But, Sanders' supporters

Last edited Sat Apr 9, 2016, 11:07 PM - Edit history (1)

apparently believe just about anything.

[cstanleytech]

82. Correction it should be "But, some of Sanders' supporters"

I personally believe that the majority of Sanders and the majority of Hillary supporters are intelligent reasonable people and we just need to be aware of that fact and try not to let the bad ones who claim to supposedly be their supporters ruin this election.

[KatyMan]

117. This^^^

Precisely. Thank you.

[leftofcool]

63. Whitenoisegate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[okasha]

65. More conspiracy theory.

This is getting silly.

[NurseJackie]

98. The new normal.

[postatomic]

74. What a crock of shit

I was there. I didn't see or hear any white noise machine. In the video that "ace" journalist Stan Bush took it sounds like normal street noise. I don't hear any white noise. The hack reporter wasn't even using a telescopic microphone.

It was a beautiful evening. I could tell you what was discussed but it really wasn't that nefarious.

So, if you want to run with this bullshit story.....go for it. There is nothing there.

[pnwmom]

99. There is never any limit to the paranoid crap they will make up, is there?

Thanks for the reality check.

(But if she had used a noise machine, tough. She could have held it inside the house in a room with sound-proofed walls for all I care.)

[postatomic]

118. Truth is only relevant if it supports their message

I'm curious as to why Stan was the only one who reported...nay....tweeted this horseshit. There were other reporters there. Why do none of them support his Death Ray machine bullshit.

It's not even actual news. Stan makes a bullshit tweet and a bunch of online skimmer places jump on it.

[JDPriestly]

75. What is she hiding?

What is she saying that she is embarrassed about?

Is she making people who are rich feel good about conduct that is dishonorable or downright wrong?

Why is she hiding what she says?

Is she ashamed?

If so, why?

Or can a Hillary supporter disprove this accusation?

Is there a press report or a transcript of what she said in her speech at that fundraiser?

Did Hillary make the text of that speech available to the public?

Will she? And who will vouch that a transcript she releases is really what she said?

[beastie boy]

108. Obviously there are secret neoliberal third way messages coded in the static.

Has nothing to do with an incompetent journo who doesn't know how to use his equipment.

[leftyladyfrommo]

138. You can only hear it if the static is played backwards.

This has to be an all time low. And so silly.

[cstanleytech]

76. Must be a slow news day. nt

[SHRED]

81. It was a preemptive static strike

Otherwise the static she'd have gotten from us, had we heard, would have been much louder.

[ViseGrip]

89. She is acting like an absolute idiot for someone looking for votes.

[tomm2thumbs]

92. shhhhh, there's apparently lots to hide

ABC News 20/20

Her answer is to question the use of email? How about using email in an open and honest way instead.

[Oldenuff]

95. Static noise?

Everything she says is static noise.

[Deuce]

96. Hmmm...

[Vinca]

101. That's one way to avoid a Mitt Romney 47% comment.

So much for that Clinton "transparency." There must be something she's ashamed of sharing.

[AngryAmish]

106. This accusation is sexist.

[AngryOldDem]

109. And they wonder why some of us don't/can't trust her.

Just like with the Wall Street speeches.

[beastie boy]

110. OMG, OMG, we are surrounded by Hillary's "static noise machines"!

They are called traffic noise. And we are surrounded by it! What does Hillary have to hide?

The above tweets [from the journalist] don’t actually depict the static noise machine, and while there does appear to be some kind of noise playing in the attached videos, it’s hard to tell from the audio how much of it is normal street noise.

113. LEAVE HILLARY ALONE !!!!

Don't hold your breath.

Wonder what she'll say in that upcoming Hong Kong fundraiser?

Having seen the video, I'll safely dismiss this as bullshit until I see something with much better sound quality, or some corroborating evidence....

Of course the usual emoprogs have given this 140-something recs instead of using their fucking brains
