Right Wing Watch, the site that takes one for the team and pores over countless hours of right wing hate so they can expose those cockroaches to sunlight, has been taken off of YouTube.

I'll take censorship and bogus copyright claims for a thousand, Alex.

Bogus Copyright Claims From Gordon Klingenschmitt Take Down Right Wing Watch YouTube Account
SUBMITTED BY Brian Tashman on Thursday, 11/7/2013 12:45 pm
Former chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, who calls himself “Dr. Chaps,” took down our YouTube account today by filing multiple challenges to our videos.

We have filed an appeal to YouTube and hope to get our channel restored shortly. If you would like to help, you can tweet @YouTube and urge them to expedite the review process.



Klingenschmitt has been filing complaints about our YouTube videos sincehe announced his bid for the Colorado legislature.

We are confident that our videos are protected under Fair Use, as in the cases of our past experiences with facing complaints. But this just goes to show the lengths that right-wing activists will go to conceal their extremist rhetoric.

8. Done.

The irony to me is that Dr. Chaps is using those videos to spread the gospel, but is claiming copyright. I thought Jesus was free, Chaplain.

9. The guy's last name is Klingenschmitt?

Is his first name Wypenn Z. Butte?

10. Dr Chaps Klingenshmitt

I'm sorry, I can't be the only one who thinks that's funny.

11. I want to know how Dr. Chaps got that nickname.

How long until he's caught with whips and chains in a fetish house?

13. When schmitt klings, it can really chap your hide.

That's my guess.

12. His press release is a hoot.

He refers to Alan "27%" Keyes as a political leader.
