"Please don't be diverted by the ground noise and the static" What did that quote mean?

Question

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

Anti war protesters at an RNC convention??? WHY ON EARTH!?!?!?!

Answer 2

I just don't care anymore it's been made blatantly clear that these people don't give a damm about us just furthering there own agenda and it's been that way since before I was born ok. They lie and cheat and steal and insult those who want to bring about a new era of peace and prosperity to get elected then they thumb there nose at everyone and do what they want to h**l with what the people want it's not like were suppose to matter or that the Government is suppose to be at OUR disposal. It wasn’t enough that they use there positions to incite war, antagonize ally's into becoming enemy's, let the poor and middle class just die off and s***w up the environment all while smiling and lying through there teeth. now they openly insult us US the American people! and yet still most people see nothing wrong with this behavior it's understandable for a child or teenager maybe even the average citizen but these are people running to lead our country and they just dismiss us! WOW if they get elected I will lose whatever little faith I had in my government what’s the point of going though all the bullshit to get into a position to change things when people like that just waltz on over say bullshit lies and squish you like you mean nothing. I’m so tiered of the way things are it’s very depressing.

Answer 3

Obamabot interrupted

Answer 4

He meant the "noise and static" generated by freedom of speech. Too bad he doesn't know what the Bill of Rights sounds llike.

Answer 6

Protesting does cause more attention. Not always for the benefit of the ones protesting. Usually irritates people more. Protesting doesn't do anything unless someone gets hurt, very sadly. That is when the attention that is needed is truly gained.  

Answer 7

it was because of the protesters

(my favorite part of the convention =] )

Answer 8

He was referring to a protester who got into the convention and staged a protest.

Answer 9

I think as a pilot, he is talking about interference on the radio. Ground noise and static.  Ignore the junk in the transmition from the radio on the plane.  Something a old HAM radio operator might say too.  

  In the case here, ignore the noise from the protesters in the convention hall.  

Answer 10

I didn't get that quote either.  I saw the protester, but didn't get 'ground noise and static' reference.

Answer 11

He was referring to the idiot protesters.  The liberals have no respect for anyone.  I didn't see any republican's interrupting Obama's speech.  

Answer 12

There were anti-war protesters at the convention and they caused a little rumbling.

Answer 13

It's fighter pilot talk for radio interference.
