[_The_ video?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTO9dHFMXzM&feature=related) Check out the 0:37mark for the commencement of the feedback.

Mayhap thou hast found the wrong video, _mon capitan_.

Only cheering, indeed.

ETA: Sorry to undercut you, **'luci**.

Ok, so I found the wrong video. Why the condescension?

The what, now?

In truth, I was feeling a bit grumpy when I composed the post. The grump was probably more inspired by **Carol Stream** ’s tone, at once dismissive and triumphalist. So sorry if any of it splashed on you. I shouldn’t have conflated yours with hers.

😕 Did anyone watch [the video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVdCOabm8Og&feature=related)?

All I hear is cheering.

This is the one they showed on Fox News where they turned up the treble and turned off the bass. Very effective.

You found the “wrong” video? Or just deliberately stirring shit in your OP?

A little clarification, if you please, **Carol Stream**. From the fact that you seem to e attributing an OP to **Cisco** , I gather that there’s another thread about this issue somewhere (given that the OP of _this_ thread was submitted by **dalej42** ). Could you post a link to that other thread, please?

Or is the explanation that you inadvertently misused the term “OP”?

I didn’t get any sense that **Cicso** deliberately sought out and posted a link to the clip that did not appear to have the booing, merely to set up a conservative for a sucker punch, did you?

I have to confess that when I watched **Cisco** ’s link, I wondered myself where the booing was, but the sidebar window quite clearly showed an available clip with a title that explicitly stated that there would be booing (the title of his link did not). After viewing it, I wondered how **Cisco** had missed it.

But I also wondered how you had.

You displayed your reflexive partisan bias for all the board to see. Now you’re left with egg on your face. Naturally, it’s the other guy’s fault.
