The video content site YouTube has flagged a new campaign ad by Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, warning of its content and requiring viewers to verify they are 18 or older.
The 30-second spot airing on Iowa cable stations this week links the country's illegal immigration problem to terrorism, depicting an attack on an American mall.
"There are consequences to open borders beyond the 20 million aliens who have come to take our jobs," the narrator says. "Islamic terrorists now freely roam U.S. soil. Jihadists, who froth with hate, here to do what they have in London, Spain, and Russia."
The ad has a hooded man walking into a crowded mall with a backpack. As a clock ticks in the background, the man leaves the backpack at a bench.
The narrator concludes: "The price we pay for spineless politicians who refuse to defend our borders against those who come to kill. [Explosion] Tancredo ... before it's too late."
YouTube is trying to make sure young viewers don't have access to the ad.
"This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community," says its warning. "To view this video or group, please verify you are 18 or older by logging in or signing up."

” spineless politicians who refuse to defend our borders “
Tom got that part right!
YouTube has gotten shrill lately. I don’t think a ten year-old would blink.
A bit over the top but that is what one must do to get the attention of the sheeple. After all, an extrapolation of the truth is not a lie but a prediction.
The cult of islam must be purged from the Western world at a minimum. Purging islam from the whole world would be better.
“spineless politicians”? And here I had been thinking they were just common traitors bought off by our foreign and domestic enemies. I’m still learning something new everyday.
Now someone tell me the powers that be(LOL)don’t want conservatives running in the Presidential Race.
We really need to vote in a real conservative;not the Rinos they are forcing on us.
I don’t see it as over the top, seems pretty truthful to me. While I have not been a supporter of Tancredo it is mostly because of the perception he can’t win. I might have to reconsider my stance on that, I really like this ad.
If they're doing this, it's clear he's struck a nerve.
The spot is well done, concise, and grabs your attention from the start....it's very effective. Hence the reaction of the whackos.
I’ll bet that it has been viewed by many more people than the commercial reached on TV. Make it longer, make it stronger and put it on Youtube.
Didn’t we already have an attack on a shopping mall by an Islam extremist? I believe it was in February in Salt Lake City. Of course, the enemedia has done its best to conceal the Islamist connection and make us forget. Plus thanks to an off duty policeman who shot and killed the scumbag, he was only able to get five of our citizens.
I didn’t see the commercial, did it show blood and guts flying everywhere ? If not, why the warnings? Everyone should be aware of the potential threat and maybe this will help force our politicians to protect the border.
On the other hand, placing the obligatory warning will only force people to watch it — more controversy.
Either way - good move on Tancredo.
This is a blatant attack on the Religion of Peace!
Tell it like it is, Tom!
Tom and the ad were on F&F this morning.
Anyone registered on YouTube can object to a video. You can bet DU’ers and DailyKuss’ers have objected to the accurate, no-holds-barred depiction of what the WOT and Muslim’s are all about, along with the illegal invader issue.
This is what I believe happened. But the old media is running with PC reporting, instead of the truth. The mooselimbs and the invasion by the illegals is all part of the plan to overthrow America. It is best the old media not let Americans know...../s
omG...what I typed was not PC....The PC police will be after me now, for sure.
Everyone please contact YT and let them know what you think:

Good for Tom.
I have heard it on the radio, on 2 different talk shows, Gunny Bob and Gallagher.
