And sadly it appears that both Asner and then Cenk fell for it.

The original video does not show rich people 'peeing' on poor people. At about the 2:50 mark on the original, when they were explaining the trickle down concept, there is no 'yellow stream'. There is a brief (like 1 or 2 seconds) whooshing water type sound, but the visual 'stream' is not there.

Check it out yourselves. This video, which had already gone viral, was posted on Dec. 5th by another DUer. I watched it twice before seeing the clip in this thread. I had not remembered the 'yellow stream' so I went back and watched the Dec. 5th video again. Nope, wasn't there.

Here is a link to member Thomm2Thumbs December 5th video. Skip ahead to about the 2:50 mark.
