why the hell was his mic even on!? As a producer, I can understand his frustration. Apparently, that wasn't the only incompetance at the DNC that year. lol
While Americans were concerned with television and entertainment, ignoring important issues, living in their own lala land, 8 years later would prove the dire consequences of such willful ignorance. A false left right paradigm and two party dictatorship controlled by the same banksters known as America would fall to her knees in chains as the economy implodes and slowly collapses as many loose everything. Who do we have to blame for this? Bush? Obama? No, you're to blame, you who allowed this.
I hope you guys realize that it was his responsibility that the balloons were supposed to be falling. I'd be pretty mad too if there were supposed to balloons falling and the guys controlling the balloons falling made some preventable mistake and made the directer look bad out of carelessness.
I felt so patriotic as a moderate to Progressive Democrat watching this in 2004. The Van Halen song in the background was perfect and emblematic of the promise, excitement and dreams that the Kerry campaign offered.
Because people liked Bush better. Economically we were recovering nicely from the terrorist attacks, support for the war was still strong, and Hurricane Katrina had not yet happened. You need to remember also that Bush was very "likeable" (maybe not for you but hopefully you get what I mean) and moreso than Kerry and his weird wife.
Yeah, we need to stop having heirs to retarded companies in the white house. Heir to the ketchup company? She was fucking wierd. She always wore a red dress too.
"This is CNN. We have some breaking news that we'd like to bring you at this hour. Details are still speculative but it appears that not all of the balloons at the Democratic National Convention have fallen. Never mind the celebration, this is obviously very serious and we will be dedicating a ridiculous amount of time to cover this tragic, horrific event. Please, stay tuned to CNN for the latest. Back to you, Wolf"

This entire thing was rigged. And probably by the Bush campaign.
Step 1: Rig the balloons to fail on full deployment.
Step 2: Tie the director's radio through the live feed.
Step 3: Sit back and let the rest happen on its own.
This whole thing was a setup, and I think we all know who did it. Underhanded, lowlife republicans, with no real regard for the democratic process. Well, good work you slimes, you got your 4 more years.
I'm talking about the long history of Republicans playing dirty when it comes to election time. Howard Dean's famous "Dean Scream" is another example.
Oh, of course not. I guess it was all just a freak accident that the director of the event had his intercom patched through the CNN audio feed, and the balloons not falling could have happened at any convention.
I'm not saying CNN was highjacked, I'm saying that some person working the balloon drop rig and another person running the sound were probably paid to screw up the whole thing.
yea can't you just see them sitting around after a long day of studying and debating important policies saying "hijack their balloons". get a grip dude...
Yeah, well you know something's wrong with some of the members of your party if they're voting turnout depends on how many pretty little balloons fall at the end of the convention. Hilarious though, good going CNN.
What the fuck were they doing up there god damn it? No wonder we lost. I wish Kerry were the president right now, better than the choice we have today between mccain and obama.
Those of you who can't stand Van Halen...like me,a favor to all of you who don't like this song...just fast forward the red line to minute marker 1:51.Classic.

That is what I call a STAUNCH democrat balloon maverick! "What the fuck are you guys doing up there?" Probably illegal immigrants working up there in the rafters and didn't understand the command.
Body: My name is Kiki, and i was raped before i died. I use to enjoy pain and now i inflict it upon people. I was tortured and raped until i could no longer breathe. Those bastards now suffer and die, and those who do not repost this to 5 videos will die too.
At the strike of 12AM, those who did not repost this will die a horrible death after seeing a bloody face covered with long black hair. Those who repost this will receive a kiss from their crush
......And then Kerry gets beat by a the worst president ever by a landslide! More baloons "Jesus!" "What the fuck are you guys doing up there?" Something Kerry probably said after he realized that he got beat down by the worst president ever!
@TheHighHardOne: The fact that Kerry got beaten by the worst president ever says more about the voters than John Kerry, although Kerry still sucked. Do you remember the goose-hunting trip the day before the election? "Maybe if I kiss the asses of hunters this time, they will all vote for me. Maybe the fact that they hate me is just because they haven't seen my lanky, weak self with a gun trying to be a 'real American'." Also, why did CNN even mic that balloon guy?! CNN sucks, too.
What we need here is MORE COWBELL! Perhaps if he shouted at Kerry "we need more personality" then Kerry would have done better in the election. hahahahaha
I meant his first general election campaign mistake (the general election campaign begins with the candidate officially accepting the party's nomination at convention). Kerry had a bunch of mistakes during the primaries ("I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it" came during the primary season...a statement that would be used against him in the general).
Yes, I remember watching it live when it happened -- too bad they had to leave out the "Where are the F-ing balloons" line, so as not to offend youtube's tender ears. This is probably what doomed the Kerry campaign.
Oh man, that was good. I can't believe the audio feed continued like that for so long! Balloons, we need more balloons! Like that's the most important part of a campaign. Come on Democrats, all that wasted balloon money should've gone to feed the less fortunate, or something like that.
i was attacked by the women loving democrats like what a joke they believe a women belongs above a man those type of views will make america weak. There ideas are useless so they try to experiment by using women above the man routine they are a waste of time. Thats why with them in the white house i see a horribe future for everyone. Republicans Rule
??? Are you talking about affirmative action? I don't like it either. But I also don't like the social stigma against women at work or in power. It's supposed to balance out; doesn't always work. So it's not that simple. Just to clarify, I don't care what party you side with, so long as you see the whole picture and actually agree with your choice.
the RNC sucked like hell it sucked something your mother is good for. God Bless FDR for ending the great depression and Truman for ending WW2 anf JFK for taking us to the Moon. The republican are just poosers copying the democrats. They suck giant balls (furry ones). dumb fucks
JFK was a conservative Democrat, and you forget that not only did the Republicans start civil rights, the Civil War was The Republican Union North against the "Dixie"crat Democratic Rebel South and when Lincoln (a GOP) was assasinated, plantation owners (who were 100% Democrats) went right back to slavery under "Black Laws". Gun Control was started by Democrats to keep guns out of the hands of blacks. The 60's had hippies getting their a*ses beat at a Democratic convention for protesting.
the rnc sucked like hell. i saw the rnc and it was very boring like i prefer watching an empty tv screen than watching a boring convention the the ones that the repulicans had.
The DNC Part is nothing but a Joke!! If i was VH i would have sued their asses for using a great song Shithole convention. The GOP convention was terrific!!! This Party is in shambles. GOD Bless Hannity, Mark levin and Rush!!
why the hell was his mic even on!? As a producer, I can understand his frustration. Apparently, that wasn't the only incompetance at the DNC that year. lol
