YOUTUBE REMOVES "BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE" VIDEO!

ME ^ | ME | ME

[Canedawg]

Some industrious Cons need to get together to start a site that will show all the vids youtube knocks off.

Call it Me-tube. Or UpYours.

[donnab]

No problem...
Its at the link also at the top of the Free Republic thread page.
I know a few people who changed their minds about Obama when they watched it. They were already rethinking but that video did it.

[rwfromkansas]

Hopefully somebody saved it using KEEPVID.COM

ALWAYS save a video like that if you think it may get removed.

Always. Then you just upload it again. It will take the day to remove it anyway.

The only thing wrong with the video is that Fannie and Freddie do NOT guarantee mortgages. VA and Fha are the only one’s guaranteed by the govt,

[tsowellfan]

Keep the AC/Dc song on the new one. They don’t care if their music is used, especially by conservatives. Another good anti-big government AC/DC song is “Who Made Who”. Government forgets that our paying taxes make them and not the other way around.

[Brown Deer]

Did YouTube remove it or did a bunch of liberals flag it?

Their liberal videos can also be flagged by anyone wishing to do so, for a number of different reasons...

[tsowellfan]

Yes “The Talking Heads” are liberal. Better to keep the AC/DC songs on that video.

Here’s another vid... (Tribute To The B52)

Evaluation: What Caused Our Current Economic Crisis?

[Rome2000]

Music is horrible, video is great.

[just deserts]

I was featuring it on my channel and was at youtube watching videos a few minutes ago and it had over one million views. It was probably removed because it had moved so far up in the rankings it was being featured on most views page for the day and the week. YouTube wasn’t going to let that stand.

You Tube pulls a popular anti-Democrat video off the web

C. Edmund Wright

You Tube and Warner Music Group today pulled a highly popular video that very succinctly and clearly spelled out the roots of the current economic crisis.

The 9:59 video entitled "Burning Down the House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis" played four different songs under a fast moving video sequence that very clearly tied Democrats like Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Barack Obama to policies and corruption related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It cleverly showed how the "affordable mortgage" programs sent an economic virus through the entire economy and showed Republican efforts to intervene and regulate being blocked.

For Obama and all congressional Democrats, it was a devastating video.

The video had almost a perfect viewer rating and had been viewed some 1.2 million times according to the You Tube counters. Sometime around 3:45 EDT the video disappeared with the banner saying "This Video is no longer available due to a copywrite claim by Warner Music Group."

This sounds to me a lot like another front in this war for the country.

Thomas Lifson adds:

Even though I wonder if Warner is so vigilant about its music being used for videos advantageous to Democrats, there is a perfect right to object to appropriation of intellectual property. Music is a business, and if you use someone's music you have to pay a royalty.

Simply re-post the video minus its music soundtrack, and see what happens. Ot use a soundtrack of music in the public domain. I suggest Vivaldi's Four Seasons, which has a driving beat of its own in various places.

Update: Daniel J. Bianco writes in, poiting out that head of the Warner Music Group's political contributions this year are going exclusively to Democrats.

The stock market is now down so invest in Brown Uniforms and Jack Boots while still affordable.

So surprising that YouTube may be censoring, blocking traffic, rejecting packets, etc.

I thought they stood for Net Neutrality???

Must have been my imagination that tortured me with a high-pitched, nasal, and annoying foreign accent in a hawkish little beak profile.

The site provides so much useful information and is a great resource if you can accept the bias, international ideology, and unabashed anti-american client base.

[Texas4ever]

Good job everyone!! My daughter recieved it by e-mail at College in Tampa!!! Keep passing it around hit the Universities hard!

[JerseyDvl]

Is this it?
Sometimes they do change URL’s to keep tooo much traffic from eating up too much bandwidth.
