Talk of Google (in conjunction with Obama’s internet supporters) censoring anti-Obama material online is nothing new. Anti-Obama Democrats had noticed their Blogspot blogs being marked as spam (most likely by pro-Obama forces) then taken offline by Google until they can successfully plead their cases. This is just the latest example of speech suppression.
Upon reaching 95,000 views, the video, Obama – Building a Religion, has officially been censored as inappropriate for minors. Amazing…As Glenn Reynolds always says “THEY TOLD ME THAT IF GEORGE W. BUSH WERE RE-ELECTED,” we’d see political videos censored. And they were right!
What actually happened is Obama’s hardcore internet losers (Obamabots) organized a drive to flag the video as inappropriate. This doesn’t seem to be the first time this has happened either (also, see here). Now people have to login to a YouTube account and verify their age just to watch it — a major inconvenience that has crippled the video’s traffic. Before this video was censored it was generating between 500 and 1000 views a day. Since the censoring, it is generating less than 50 per day.
This must be all part of that Hope ‘N Change we’ve been hearing so much about. Via Glenn Reynolds.
