Pop over the orangey swirl to find out what happened next
As the poor downtrodden Palinites watched their goddess in the vid they heard something they didn't like, not at all.
The title tells it all
Governor Palin With Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier (Video)
UPDATE: ‘Zealot’ Sound Bite Caught While Gov. Was Speaking
UPDATE II: Brit Hume Responds
Short version of the offending mic slip
Long version of the interview for anyone that can tolerate the sound of that voice, I'm saying nothing about the hair.
Nothing galvanizes the Palin peeps more than a slur on 'their Sarah'. They let Fox have it with both barrels. They didn't retreat, they reloaded.
Absolutely unbelievable. I am no expert on microphone or feedback issues. But, I do know that two completely separate versions of the video (ours from SarahNet and the version RS put up) both have the soundbite at the exact same time mark.
Coincidentally, this happened a couple hours after Governor Palin went on to talk with Mark Levin about certain party bosses trying to strip power away from the grassroots.
Apparently some over at Fox News are so protective of Chris Christie, that an innocent “got to that point” comment on his speech was enough for someone over there to refer to Governor Palin as a “zealot.” Whoever said it will probably go on unknown and I cannot say we can expect Fox News to come forward and offer the Governor an apology.
Brit Hume's response on twitter cracked me up completely...
@Bassmaster12 @Stacy_Drake This is almost comical. Mic picked up a snatch of an off-camera conversation I was having. The word was "salad." 29 Aug 12
Coz yeah, 11.30pm is the perfect time to order in a (word) salad.
The comments are a hoot...
This was the first inkling that anything was wrong
There was buzz on twitter that someone called Palin a "zealot" right around the 1.34 mark on the tape. I just listened to it and it is there, and It sounds like Brit Hume to me. Make you check it out when you listen to it. The Fox personnel are so rude, mean and nasty when it comes to Palin, especially the guys. It plain old snobby sexsim. What jerks!
it was SALAD...Sarah is respected and to assume that makes us not better the the other networks that bashed the Convention all night.
Clean out your ears. It was zealot and it was easily heard by everyone. Brit Hume is definitely NOT a fan of Sarah Palin's as evidenced by his comments on O'Reilly the other night when he said that she was not invited to the convention because she was "out of politics" since her resignation as governor of Alaska. Did the idiot miss the fact that Sarah Palin practically single handedly won the House back for the GOP in 2010? Does Hume think Rove is out of politics? Huckabee? If so, why doesn't he speak their name with the same contempt he says Palin's name?
Heads should roll at FOX....totally disrespectful of the Governor.....this media circus must stop
HaHaHaHaHaHa!
I still vividly remember Hume and the other talking heads informing their audience that Joe Biden won his debate with Governor Palin. I was stunned. That tipped me off about their attitude regarding her
No words
I'm not sure if it is Sarah he dislikes or woman with a brain in general. I'm female and he just came across to me as I was beneath him.
I don't think those words mean what she thought they meant
We need to demand an explanation for this. It's on Drudge, Fox can't ignore it.. They owe the Governor a public apology and an explanation.
You tell them! (this one is a moderator BTW)
Sarah the Salad!
Really, Brit?
I've listened twice before he responded. It sounded like zealot to me.
Hmmm, Sarah the Salad. Forks anyone?
We know Brit Hume to be a liar already.
He said the reason she wasn't there was because she was no longer in politics, yet other people are there speaking who are no longer in politics. Brit Hume is not an honest man just like the rest of his Fox cronies. That is a fact based on evidence.
How could he think that when there are obviously other people speaking who are not involved in politics?
I am so sick of dealing with people who have no regard for the facts.
Just LOL!
Mr. Hume....I'm sorry....but even my cell phone voice recognition software picked up "zealot" and NOT "salad"!!! But there aren't many words you could find that rhymed with zealot, now could ya!!
Crap, a Palinbot has a better phone than me
"salad" as in "word salad?"
Aha! the penny drops with the poster whose turn it is with the brain cell this week.
UPDATE : Thanks to peglyn in the comments, It looks like Fox has no more use for Palin. Wow!, the comments at C4P are going to be a total crack.
Thanks for the tips and recs all, and Kos too, a first for me. Life is now complete.
4:36 PM PT: OK, another quick update, Fox has cancelled all of Sarahs' appearances (for tonight so far), but Piers Morgan has tweeted inviting her on apparently. I'll only forgive him if he ambushes her and asks an actual question that isn't softball.
5:36 PM PT: Another quick update. Fox give their reasons for cancelling Palin according to Mediaite
