    Unfortunately Google, the owners of YouTube, are starting their campaign for BHO. Their capitalistic approach to business not withstanding their politics are as liberal as the county they reside. In fact if one wants to worry about “Big Brother” coming after you it won’t be the conservatives - it will be enabled by Google who collects every bit of information on you that you enter to your computer.

    It is easy to confuse big business with being capitalistic. Many big businesses want socialism as long as it insures their place at the top of the heap. As a small business owner I have learned that big business love government in the market place keeping the competitors down.

    Yeh Michelle, Youtube clearly has low standards. There was a youtube clip that refered to you as a ‘house asian’
    you know from Malcolm X’s speech. I guess some of the people in Chinatown are mad at your affluence. There’s even people who refer to America as Naziland, you know, twenty-somethings donned with tatoos and on top of it all. Ugh.

    The vile behavior of liberals and leftists is to be expected. It is their MO after all. The truth is not in them. I honestly think most don’t even know who Tony Snow is. Like trained animals, they simply respond on command. Rest assured, it will come back to bite them.

    Just like the AP scumbag who TWICE in their first piece about his death took pot-shots at him. Tony had died just NINE HOURS earlier.

    Emphasis mine.

    “With a quick-from-the-lip repartee, broadcaster’s good looks and a relentlessly bright outlook — if not always a command of the facts…

    “Critics suggested that Snow was turning the traditionally informational daily briefing into a personality-driven media event short on facts and long on confrontation.”

    “Critics suggested” is MSMspeak for “I say”

    When somebody passes away, how come we always have to give our condolences? I understand if they are good people, but what if because of their rhetoric, hundreds of thousands of people have died, innocent children have died. People have had their houses broken into looking for weapons, have had their house(s) vandalized.

    I didn’t watch the crap but read this quote. Was that from Jun Carry?

    Pardon my ignorance, but does YouTube really have “editors”? I thought what was up on the site and what was featured was pretty much a function of what is posted by users and what clips are most viewed by users.

    YouTube is owned by Google so to protest Google’s disrespect I have cancelled my blogspot blogs and removed google’s search engine from my home page. I will never use Google again.

    Maybe Google should move to China where they can work with the Chinese government to further erode Freedom of Speech and promote Communism.

    Google and YouTube are nothing more than Left wing communist losers

    When I logged on to YouTube on Sunday night, there were three or four featured videos on my recommended page that were tributes to Tony from the Sunday morning shows. Is it possible that Newsbusters had the disrespectful videos come up because they link to YouTube videos of liberals saying stupid things? It sounds more like a formula based on what you watch and upload as opposed to an editorial decision.

    Until I read Mookie’s comment after refreshing the page, a white hot anger at You Tube and Google was instantly cooled (mercurial personality). Reading the Newsbuster article was infuriating, but perhaps Google and maybe You Tube will come up with an explanation or at least a plausible excuse for their disrespect. Hopefully what they did was not just a stupid attempt at fairness.

    Mister P nailed it! Big Business is more than half the battle we face in getting illegal immigration stopped! It wants cheap/slave labor to compete with the slave labor used to make Asian goods we import. And it doesn’t mind putting its money into the necessary congressional pockets to get it.

    As for Google, shame, shame, shame!

    The only conclusion is that the editors in charge of YouTube’s featured videos have an agenda: They want to make conservatives look bad

    Well D-UUUHHHH… Tell me one Liberal, one Liberal web site, or commentator that does not have that agenda? That is their entire purpose for living.

    To say that You Tube, which is run by the Neo-Lib crowd that is epidemic across the Internet, does not have an agenda, especially when you consider how many Truther videos they house, and how many anti-Truther videos they have pulled by their public and editorial staff, shows an incredible ignorance of just how these websites operate all across the spectrum.

    The few videos that are pro-Conservative that do make it get taken down within hours/days as being “Offensive” or “Violating TOS”. Just ask Michelle how many times her personal videos have been struck down even though they did not come close to violating TOS. The whole thing is a joke.

    But then, when you consider that the majority of those posting there thing that “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” are real, actual news casts…

    Hang on a sec. The video that Newsbusters linked to has only 400 some-odd hits and was posted as a response to the Associated Press video. If it had been promoted by YouTube, the hits would be in the tens of thousands. The video in question wasn’t promoted by YouTube at all. The real criticism should be aimed at the AP for allowing the video to be linked on their page. They could easily delete it.

    In the past 2300+ years since Plato’s writing of “The Republic,” this the best we can do in terms of political philosophy? It’s rather sad. And folks say we’re “evolving.” Put a “de-” in front of this term and I think we’re on to something.
    A society, whose majority of citizens devalue and dehumanize their fellow man, especially a fellow citizen, has what hope, or desire, of preserving itself and its freedoms?

    When Tony Snow went public about his disease, Fox opened a site through which people could send him best wishes and prayers. I was happy to have a way to tell him I would be praying for him and for his family.

    To my astonishment, a couple of months later I received a gracious email from Tony expressing his thanks. I’m quite sure he had received thousands of emails similar to mine, and I’m equally sure he thanked every single one of those thousands.

    Now that’s class!

    Does anyone know how to remove Google’s search engine from a MacBook? (No one I know has an Apple computer.) What should I use instead of Google?* I’m logging out now, but I’ll check back tomorrow.

    Because they do not go around talking about how non-partisan they are. They present themselves as being what they are and do not try to hide behind PC thuggery.
