Mike McIntee Is Lying

Mike McIntee posted a video in which he claims the White House is doctoring videos. He was wrong. And then he deleted comments pointing out he was wrong, thereby intentionally perpetuating his deception. I show here what his mistake is, since he won't allow anyone to describe it in the comments.

The original White House video (retrieved via the Internet Archives) had no black bar at all, and demonstrates that in fact, no banner was removed from the video:

I haven't read every comment here, nor do I intend to do so.

I may not have all the information germain to controversy, but I recall the video in question being on the official White house web page. Talk about deception. Why are they masking the original banner. Since this happened years ago my exact memory may be foggy. However I'm pretty sure I say a different version in which there was a "Mission Accomplished Banner".

@Atbl1TV Um. Actually, this video, and other videos, and lots of other evidence, proves you're ignorant. They are NOT masking any banner. The banner is not in the frame: in fact, it's not even above the President in this camera angle, it's off to his right. So even if you zoomed out, you still wouldn't see it: you'd have to move the camera pretty far to the left, and then zoom out or point up.

"Bush pays price for 'Mission Accomplished' sign

White House admits fault on banner seen to declare Iraq victory 5 years ago" Article can be found on MSNBC, just google it.

Um. What does that have to do with anything?

Mike McIntee said the video on the White House web site was doctored, and used as proof that the video had black bars. I proved he was wrong. And when I pointed it out to him, he deleted my comments to cover up his error, turning his mistake into a lie.

Unless this MSNBC article has something to do with Mike McIntee's lying, it is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

look mike is a bright man the fool who is dissing him is a idiot without a life As a mcintee i know that he would not lie. god save mcintee,s all over the world

[pudgenet]

Shrug. I proved he lied. You can say all you like, but at this point, it is a proven fact: he made a serious error, and then he refused to correct it and deleted anyone, like me, who pointed out the fact that he was in error. That made his error into a lie.

There is nothing you can say to change that fact.

[adrosal]

No, no, no, no... you've got it all wrong.

There's a "Mission Accomplished" banner at every Bush speaking engagement, meaning they have to crop it out of every video... hence the black bars on all of them.

Excellent detective work, my friend.

.... all while avoiding being hit with invisible WMD's !

[pudgenet]

What's MY point? Huh? My point is obvious: that the person who said "the black bars prove that the White House manipulated the video" is incorrect, and worse, that when the fact that he is incorrect was pointed out to him, he deleted those comments and didn't post a retraction, turning his error into a lie.

[miltytube]

So what is your point? What's wrong in having black bars on videos? We can still see what's happening. It's not like they're putting the bar over his lips so we can't see what he's saying.

[EleoChan]

No, it's not interesting. This video explained why. No one is defending Bush simply by pointing out that Mike McIntee is being deceptive. Anyway, even if the video WERE edited it's really quite irrelevant in the grand scope of things.
