We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view
This statement can be found on YouTube's Community Guidlines page, and in general this statement holds true. Take, for example: the animalistic view of women that rappers promote amongst the youth of this nation, or the violent street fighting clips that develop fanbases. These videos are popular because they raise some level of controversy, and aren't considered socially acceptable in America.

Miss Giles has a very bright future.
Good article by a bright young woman. The title says it all about Youtube.
For anyone not clicking through, Hannah's column is about a young man who made (and legally but surreptitiously recorded) calls to a number of Planned Parenthood offices, offering monetary contributions, but only if the offices could assure him that his contribution would be used only for the abortion of black babies. He made comments about there being too many black people and etc. All the PP offices he called assured him that his contributions could and would be used as he specified.
That young man? Hannah Giles' current investigative journalism associate, and pretend "pimp," James OKeefe!
Giles' column is about the fact that O'Keefe's recordings were abruptly pulled from Youtube, without explanation or notification, and after they had been posted for 7 months, on the night of Obama's speech to the Democratic National Convention.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
A few hours ago (and before I first read this article) I was watching the Jon Stewart video regarding the ACORN sting. The thought struck me that I could drop all my objections to abortion on the specific condition that only registered Democrats were permitted to obtain them. That's still monstrous ...
A tip of the hat to Mr. O'Keefe for thinking of it first.
Consider this a preemptive first strike. The SRM is going to hit Miss Giles as hard or harder than they did Governor Palin.
ACORN Ping!
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
Does anyone happen to have copies of these recordings to share?
I'd be interested in seeing those too. I hope they haven't dropped down the memory hole.
Speaking of a baby being a mistake, you don’t suppose that old Stanley Dunham raised Obama and constantly reminded him he was a mistake and she was punished with him for life? I would bet she did. Where would Obama get such an idea?
You can be sure the MIA MSM is going to demonize Giles and O’Keefe.
In fact, they have already started.
Does she have an older single sister?
Can we clone her?
And Miss Giles has enough ammunition to take them down too. Sarah Palin had restrictions by holding the office of the governor of Alaska. And Giles has her evidence ON TAPE!
Governor Palin was branded a ditzy beauty queen by the SRM. Miss Giles is next. Miss Giles is a journalist and suffered the apparent travesty that none of her work had ever been posted here before. I fixed that. Sigh. How many of us knew Governor Palin before the election cycle? I didn't (hangs head in shame).
I am really, really tired of conservatives being automatically branded as stupid. SICK OF IT! President Bush for all his faults, could give a speech off-the-cuff. Obama requires a teleprompter to tell him what to say.
Now who is smarter?
As you point out, indeed they have. I had two choices 1) slam my first through my Macbook's monitor in anger or 2) (re)post Miss Giles' work here to spread the word that she is not stupid.
I'll trust my fellow FReepers to spread the word.
You didn't get any respect, Mr. Dangerfield, but I hope she does.
Why is there not an alternative to youtube? Perhaps there is, and I am unaware. Wouldn’t be all I am unaware of.
Bump.
