YouTube Allows Video With Dead Americans To Remain
YouTube ^

Posted on 11/01/2009 6:43:33 AM PST by StarCMC

The video linked here shows almost 3 minutes of  hirabists training with weapons and other such poor quality offerings, but when you get to 3:00, the viewer is treated to close-ups of a dead coalition soldier.  The video is grotesque and shocking.  The soldier's dog tags are removed at  3:55, and video of his body continues until 4:06.  The video then shifts to showing an arsenal of weapons - those more astute than I can probably tell us what those weapons are - and then the video zooms in at  4:50 on a set of dog tags, presumably from the soldier previously shown.  

According to YouTube's Terms of Service, this video should be removed.  It was posted October 20, 2009 and has been flagged multiple times.  There is no doubt that this video is used to encourage our enemy who is actively killing our countrymen and our allies.  Hey YouTube - whose side are you on?

And before someone whines about me denying someone their free speech rights by flagging this piece of video propaganda, please remember that I have as much right to practice MY free speech as does anyone else.  And while we'er at it, the bill of rights guarantees free speech to citizens of the United States, not to our enemies at war.

Despicable that they’re still allowing that!

I’d contact Glenn Beck with this.

So, according to what I have read recently, Michael Savage and Pastor Manning have been dropped from Youtube, but this trash is allowed on?

How does this compare with YouTube hosting videos of Apache and AC130 gunships hellfiring and strafing groups of the enemy? I’m not trying to argue with ya, I know what you’re getting at, but I’m wondering how you distinguish between the two and justify pulling one but not the other.

When are most of us going to acknowledge that YouTube is nothing more than a libtard outlet?

The apache clips are from thousands of feet and the targets are just bright IR images with no personal information obtainable. Distinguishable dog tags is another story altogether.

I had not heard they were dropped!!!That’s not right.
It’s such a slippery slope...that’s why I don’t think
anything should be taken off...think of it like TV, just
change the channel or in this case just don’t click on link.
Once you start to discriminate then “nothing” is left on.
The youtube in this article sounds awful. I chose to not
even look at it. I think that helps to solve the problem.

It is their own YouTube policy.

This is just a matter of making sure their own policy is applied fairly.

YouTube has a policy, it is their policy.

It is their website and they ask their users to assist in their policy.

You don't have to assist if you don't want to.

But if you sign-up to post videos you agree to their policy.

If you don't agree with YouTube policy then don't visit YouTube but rather go somewhere else.

The video in the link HAS BEEN REMOVED, but YouTube needs to be hounded for the many other videos that are offensive.

This ping just to keep you up to date.

No surprise — YouTube is controlled by the leftist trash that runs Google.
