Were the fake Planned Parenthood videos made to ignite the anti-abortion GOP base in order to get passion going for the 2016 election?

    Yes, but it is backfiring. The Republican investigators in that hearing looked inept and immoral, as they were busted for introducing fraudulent material and even for lying about the source of a chart they produced, even though the true source was printed at the bottom of the chart. The chart was bogus and incorrectly reflected the data, which would have been obvious to any alert eighth grader. , It took Cecile Richards and her team one minute to determine the true source, not from PP but from an anti abortions site. People will not want to vote for a party that is not very smart.

    The baby on the table referred to by Fiorina in the video is not even an aborted baby, and had nothing to do with Planned Parenthood. It was a premature birth and was taken in a hospital and the film used without the consent of the griefing mother.

    Yes. There's a good article in Time about the guy who infiltrated by pretending to have a scientific research firm, and made the videos. He's been obsessed with PP for years. Apparently, he was an unwanted child- his parents were in college when his mother got pregnant with him- and he seems to take this issue very personally. That doesn't justify the lying and the use of stock footage pretending to be real video that he used.

    What's "fake" about them?

    You're just mad because the truth doesn't reflect well on your misguided ideology. Have you ever stopped to wonder for a moment WHY it is necessary for you to ignore certain truths and deny obvious facts in order to support the position you currently take on a topic?

    You libtards are pathetic.

    You must be an American Politician. Only an American Politician can be caught red handed on a video committing an outrage or a crime and say "It's not true."

    They weren't fake. My guess is that you haven't watched them. If you have you are lying. If you haven't you can't be taken seriously because we know you are just mindlessly parroting the lies coming from PP.

    when you find something that is not defensible you must claim those facts are false, which is exactly what you are doing with those tapes.
