I had a chuckle at the fake signer episode also, I hadn't heard of his problems however. Sort of funny but a shame at the same time.

It was like a Saturday Night Live skit. The signer was employed by a company whose services were engaged for the event. I'm not buying his explanation about having hallucinations during the event.

Completely different scenario but a similar thing,. Years ago, one of our Premiership soccer teams employed a foreign manager who spoke no English so an interpreter was hired for press conference purposes. People were impressed by the interpreters lengthy monologues when the manager did not seem to say much. Turns out the interpreter was a charlatan who hardly spoke the lingo and was just making up his own (very expansive) answers to questions and basically just enjoying his 15 minutes in the limelight.

I heard today that this company he said he worked for either suddendly folded up or does not exist. Very strange to say the least.

Well the whole idea of using people to "sign" speeches is a liberal commie idea that shojuld be abolished with Obamacare.

That's what you're taking from all of this? No one said anything political regarding this incident and then you go and make reference to liberals/commies and Obamacare.

Come on DT you're better than that

Geronimo Cardano, an Italian mathematician and physician, Juan Pablo de Bonet, a Spanish priest, and L'Epee, an educator are all credited with inventing sign language. But you know, they're all Europeons and you know that Europeons are and have been socialists for so long and you know that socialism is just another word for communism. So, I think that DT is onto something.

Seems that this signer might have an interesting past history.

"According to South African news network eNCA, Thamsanqa Jantjie has “faced rape (1994), theft (1995), housebreaking (1997), malicious damage to property (1998), murder, attempted murder and kidnapping (2003) charges.”

I was watching HIGNFY and they showed the sign language guy doing the same for Jacob Zuma at another event. Seriously how does this guy keep getting hired

Brave man, a symbol for something greater than himself however misguided that symbolism may be. Bottom line is he was a red and a commie puppet. Had no effect on me and my life whatsoever other than becoming a pop politics poster boy.
