The "conservative_YouTubers" and their leader Michelle_Malkin are flagging videos...
...they don't like, and M_M has her own little channel were she posts here Hate Speech.

Here are the links:

<http://www.youtube.com/group/conservative>

<http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=michellemalkin>

If you have a membership at You Tube, you should check out their "discussion threads" in the above group and/or "Flag as Inappropriate" a few of Her hate filled videos as "hate Speech" or "Other TOS Violation" or what ever you deem appropriate.

I began to suspect that something like this was going on after watching the video rant by that hypocritical, shirtless red-neck that was posted here (sorry, but their is no better way to describe the guy) because of the random nature of the way the videos I posted were getting removed.

They were nothing subversive, but the ones that criticized Bush or the RW definitely were the first to go.

Anyway, enough of my griping, the main point of this post is to point out this hateful Group of "conservative_YouTubers" (Conservative Potatoes?).

What should be done here? Because, these Conservative Potatoes are on a campaign to stifle free speech on YouTube now too!

Note: I put the underscore between the words so that, hopefully, those darn Conservative Potatoes won't find this post with "the Google":evilgrin:

1. Funny thing is, she complains about censorship herself
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 10:33 PM by Fighting Irish
Whenever her videos are 86ed.

She is the world's biggest hypocrite.

BTW: Anyone got a video of her shooting ping-pong balls out of her coochie?

5. I already flagged a few, but they are so awful, I had to take a break.
I hope she gets suspended or banned, it would serve her right.

Then look for her complaining about YouTube on O'Liely the next day.

4. is there no standard? any complaint gets a video pulled or does
youtube review to make sure there is really no big deal about a video receiving complaints?

can we complain about bush and get him pulled?

6. I think they review each, that's why it's not instant removal, but the thing is...
...I would bet something like 70% to 80% of the videos there have some sort or copyrighted matter in them, be it a song playing in the background or video, like those M_M posted that not only have hate speech in them, but have video from CNN or Fox that she stole off YouTube, but tags "Courtesy YouTube" and, I guess she thinks that makes it O.K.

I mean, come on, does anyone think that adding that little graphic to the top of the frame makes her stealing the video from YouTube O.K.???

Check out the one where she's gloating about Cynthia McKinney's Primary loss to see the type of thing I'm talking about.

But back to your question, there is a clause in the Copyright law called "Fair Use" that makes it O.K. to use video that is of a News Event, or something Historical, and a few other things, so no, I don't think you could just flag videos of Bush speeches, but since the Mega-Corp Google took over, the videos that show Bush being stupid have started disappearing at a much faster rate. So I would say that Yes, their is a problem with their system, because is seems to be prone to abuse by RW activists.

8. I flagged a few and I also rated them "POOR" I didn't want to do
too many because they might consider that a troll

10. You should check out the stimulating threads at her Conservative Potato group...
...and how they joke and plot about about which videos they just flagged, it made me lose all sympathy for her, and I'm a Buddhist too.

As I'm sure you are aware, you have to be really evil to piss off a Buddhist.

11. LOL I just got done listing to a tape of Thich Nat Han. I'm not a very
good Buddhist a lot of the time but I try.

P.S I was trying to play "mindful Spider Solitaire" before. :)

It was actually kind of nice to play a game on the computer slowly and without stress.

9. I flagged 2 as Hate Speech because they were so anti-muslim
One showed women with head coverings and then had a Pentagram stuck in there? I know what THEY think a PENTAGRAM means.
