YOUTUBE Members - I Need Your Help - Offensive Video Must Be Stopped
I have been a youtube member since shortly after it premiered and I have never 'Flagged" a video for offensive content.

I made an exception today after I watched a very offensive vid about Barrack and Michelle Obama.

It is overtly racist.

So, I am encouraging youtube members to go on and flag this vid and knock it off-line. Also while you are there give it 1 star rating.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGWUZITCFSA

If you are not a youtube member, please refrain from watching it so as not give it any undeserved attention.

I hope it is a long time before i feel compelled to flag another vid.

3. It's offensive, but I don't think it violates the TOS.
I may not agree with the person who uploaded the video, but I'll defend his right to post it.

33. I found it HIGHLY offensive, and I voted it at the LOWEST mark..
But like you, I would NOT censor it. But I'll save that video (if it isn't pulled) to show a few of my acquaintances. They're border-line racists, but they won't admit it (probably not even to themselves) It might even work as "aversion therapy")

5. voted it down and commented
"No sharing - Flagging for racist content.

Republicans - They think you're stupid.

If McCain and Palin win, we might as well put wheels on the the White House and call it a trailer.

The difference between Palin and an Islamic Fundamentalist - lipstick.

And ask "Crash" about the number of planes he crashed and what happened on the Forrestal."

8. I won't watch it as I'm sure I'll find it disgusting too.
But what may be offensive to us may not be offensive to someone else and if you want to censor 'them' it makes it easier for 'them' to censor us.

Just be careful what you wish for... that's all

13. I've been censored there a few times...
and as I said - in 2 years - and watching MANY vids - This is the first one I've censored

This anti-war vid I made got censored after 380,000 views

I left a comment there telling those people exactly how I feel as well.

Oh, and if you want more videos to flag...?

I got some mighty fine cat abuse for ya!

Do a search for "don't pet this kitty" and have a field day. I've been trying to get that shit removed for months now. :grr:

30. I would love to flag it, but
I can no longer watch YouTube video even though I have upgraded my DSL. Used to watch them all, no problem. I wish someone could resolve my issues. Why can others watch and I can't?

34. Ruh-roh, looks like a conservative lurker here found your post
and is telling the world about it.

Just a heads up: Some sub-human, quasi-crypto-troglodyte-Pol-Pottist-year zero-flat-earther over at the Democratic Underground has linked this video back to their website with instructions for their fellow Neo-Stalinist automatons to flag this video.

So much for free-speech. But, then again, the simpletons over in DUmmy land have never been big on any form of speech that doesn't conform to their narrow & vile way of thinking.

Fuck the DU!!


Ah, I love the smell of impotent freeper anger in the morning.

I vaguely remember that you have to let the whole thing play for the flagging to "take", can anyone confirm that?

These idiots are too stupid to know when something is taken out of context, even when Obama's original statement is shown to them.
