Update on effort to suppress "Burning Down the House" Video

Update on effort to suppress "Burning Down the House" Video

"Burning Down the House: What Caused our Financial Crisis" is a video the Obama campaign does not want you to see.

The first YouTube posting of this video received over one million hits in less than five days.

It was removed by YouTube after a copyright complaint by Warner Music.

The second posting of this video has also now been removed from YouTube after receiving 100,000+ plays in one day!

Aother version of the video, created by the same YouTube account holder, pointed out that the Obama campaign received nearly three quarters of a million dollars from Warner Music, and that the Fair Use provision of copyright law allows for the use of copyright material for political and public discussion.

All the music on this video is freely available and played daily on YouTube.

Now the second posting, and the third posting with the description of the fair use issue, have been removed by YouTube in response to a copyright claim by Universal Music Publishing.

This is clearly harrassment -- the type of goon squad tactics we are only now coming to understand from the Obama campaign.

This video has been mentioned by Glenn Beck, Mark Levine, Dick Morris, and was posted for a day on The Drudge Report.

Congressman Scott Garret, appearing on the Glenn Beck program, said the video "exactly described the origins of our crisis" according to comments posted at the video.

Unfortunately for the Obama campaign, the video also exposes how Barack Obama personally profitted from corruption at Fannie Mae.

Moreover, the video exposes the fact that Barack Obama sued lenders (Citibank) for not making more "sub-prime" loans!

I look forward to the return of TheMouthPeace, the account holder at YouTube who is becoming a folk hero.

"Burning Down the House: What Caused our Financial Crisis" should be seen in every home in America.

Watch for it. And watch your back.

“This is clearly harrassment — the type of goon squad tactics we are only now coming to understand from the Obama campaign.”

Not just the campaign but 0bama supporters in general. A friend of mine was selling anti-obama t-shirts as a parking lot vendor at a college game this past weekend and had an 0bamabot get in her face. He told her it was offensive and called the cops. The cops got there and told the guy to get lost, then asked to buy shirts. She gave them some complementary ones.

The shirt was obama with devil horns, flames in the background, labeled “Anti-Christ”.

There is also freeware called ClipFinder that you can use to search youtube and other sites, and then save them as flash videos - you can later convert it to mpeg or whatever.

There is also a deluxe version called ClipFisher for sale that will allow you to edit them.

I just showed this to my friends wife and she it so amazed how good it is. She is a chairwoman for the GOP here and she telling all her friends about it today. It's very powerful!

Yesterday morning, Rahm Emanuel was answering some questions to the press, and he compared this housing crisis to a natural disaster, and then said something about how “in this case, our house is on fire.”

People in the crowd (this was IN the capitol building) started laughing - I am certain it was because they had seen the Burning down the house video.

We may have to repost over and over under different names to keep it on YouTube. Or at least others do...I’m a computer-illiterate.

MouthPeace has some other great videos. The one about Obama supporting sex education for kindergarteners is especially good. This is stuff the McCain campaign should be saying.

I'd like to have other options too.

I prefer Fox News and would like a similar flavored search engine and flash media site.

www.LiveLeak.com has flash media. WARNING: there is particularly violent images and graphic video that is flagged, but it doesn't offer itself like Ogrish.com

www.dogpile.com is becoming a very good search engine which also samples google finds.

I hope this helps. I too wish that there were better options. I don't trust MySpace or Facebook because it seems like a fact finder for some corporate entity (and they have annoying socialist banners).

www.drudgereport.com is also a great start for news setting the agenda. It's replacing the mission that MSM abandoned.

That's not Burning Down the House. It's another good video on Fannie Mae by the same source.

The original video had over 1 million views BTW.

I know. I had it in Favorites. Over a million views.

Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis?
A highly informative video that traced the cause of our current crisis that had its roots planted 12 years ago. Sorry, I had to moderate comments because the nastiness was reaching unacceptable levels. There may be a long delay before comments are published.
