Fred Thompson Right Wing Extremist STOLE My Video I Made For The Bridge Collapse & Edited The Audio!

[Divine Discontent]

I am so peeved. PLEASE recommend this thread, and go comment on "his" video he made about the bridge tragedy and b*sh rushing to their aid - this loon has to be a freeper, because just ONE look at his homepage on youtube will make you think the Statue of Liberty took a dump on it. He's terribly obsessed with b*sh and Fred Thompson! (ImwithFred.com on his page)

I made a montage of the Minneapolis bridge collapse, I also chose a song that was very personal to me from years ago and this nutjob crazy loon downloaded my video that I spent my time making the day after it happened, and added audio of shrub talking and then used my same song in its entirety and in so doing made the video longer, but the sick point is he asks us to pray for the VICTIMS ----

WHILE REMOVING THE IMAGES OF THE VICTIMS AT THE END OF MY VIDEO AND REPLACING THEM WITH AN EXTENDED IMAGE OF DER FUHRER AFTER HE 'RUSHED' TO THE SCENE!

EXCUSE ME WHILE I VOMIT.

It's not that anyone would copy this video that offends me, I could care LESS, it's that a neocon would take it and manipulate it like he did - and remove the video producer's name at the end.

"His" video --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0CaVC1tnrg
His youtube page - http://www.youtube.com/user/republicanUSA


My original video from the day before that includes the real victims - not the faux victim he includes at the end - George W. Bush.

My homepage -
http://www.youtube.com/user/password


I hope you'll write him and share here what you wrote, I'm sure DU'ers can come up with some DUzies for him!

Here's what I wrote him ---

"by REPUBLICAN USA" - except it was stolen from the video archive of Youtube's 'PASSWORD' and horribly mangled at the beginning & end with edits of bush blabbing 3 days later when he "rushed" to the scene (a couple days ahead of Katrina even!) - and in typical rethuglican fashion you blab about praying for the victims WHILE REMOVING THE IMAGES OF THE DEAD AND REPLACING IT WITH AN EXTENDED IMAGE GEORGE W. BUSH!

AGAIN, YOU STOLE MY VIDEO, THAT IS BEYOND PATHETIC - MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEO! Anyone can go to my page and see my untainted video from the day before, oh, and again, nice job removing the victims.

[KingFlorez]

1. I just left a comment

I said "This is not your video, you stole it and messed with the audio. Shows what a lack of creativity you have."

[Divine Discontent]

16. wow, 'lack of creativity'! awesome.. ty! n/t

[CurtEastPoint]

26. I went to his site....must go puke then shower now.

What a F'ING NUTJOB!

[Divine Discontent]

96. A detail of my HORROR in watching his the 1st time)

I know, I felt so dirty there myself, sorry to make you shower... :rofl:

you can imagine my shock when I was watching tribute videos and bush's voice came on and I was like, Oh PLEASEEEEE why use him for these people, he didn't even show for 3 days, THEN - I see the Earth, and I thought, no way that someone else thought to put the exact image of the Earth, as a symbol that we are all ONE, like I did!? Then the images were the ones I used in order, photo for photo but BUSH was talking! I started getting upset, then the SONG I used comes on, a minute and a half late, and I blew my stack when I saw he removed the victims images and replaced them with an extended image of MONKEY BOY, and finished off the insult by removing my plea to have Congress pull funding from the war and support our infrastructure with his copyright instead "BY REPUBLICANUSA" instead of my name.
thanks again.

[djp2]

211. glad you found his counterfeit copy

Good job in finding his theft!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Done - here is my comment

"Hey you thief! Come up with your own video. You not only stole this video but you changed it to fit your warped political views. How pathetic, but typical from a repukelican bush lover!!"

I notice your comment is not appearing (yet?). Let's hope mine is posted as well.

BTW, your video is wonderful.

[Divine Discontent]

15. bless you all! --- it means so much you all would go do this ---

thanks for the compliment, ALSO!

[Divine Discontent]

3. you HAVE to go there now PLEASEEEEE

how bizarre! It gets weirder - this nutjob, in knowing he was STEALING my video - pre-arranged that I be BLOCKED from making a comment on his stolen video ---- OMG!

I got my girl friend to use her account to comment.

WOW.... he pre-blocked me... can you believe that?

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Well I am not blocked there

:evilgrin:

How utterly pathetic of you to steal someone else's video and then edit it to suit your personal idolatry. Let's see: Idols and stealing? That's two broken right there. Hang your head in shame, boy.

[Divine Discontent]

19. goodness!!!

look what DU'ers can do when we act together!

7. Only a loser would do something like that! Only a rethuglican!

I will leave comment for you over there.

[Divine Discontent]

23. a true rethug... his page makes me ILL

and even worse, I give thanks to the photographers and credit gary chapman in the description of the video - he does neither, but why should he, he was comfortable in knowing he took my creation and blocked me from commenting on it that it was stolen AHEAD OF TIME, amazing rethugs... they do stuff like this in bigger fashion everyday to people, so I'm proud of DU for doing something about it...

maybe I should write someone in TV?

[npincus]

8. K & R

Sh*thead!!!

[rateyes]

9. Do you realize that your video is copyrighted material?

If you created it, it belongs to you. You do NOT have to apply for a copyright. Add the copyright notice to the end of your video.

You have a winnable lawsuit against that bastard, in my opinion.

[Divine Discontent]

31. thanks

the beef I have is that a nutjob on the opposite end of the spectrum (just reading what he believes in, from his page, made me sick) took my video and hacked it up. He doesn't even credit the things I credit on my video, and what says it all is that

he blocked me AHEAD of time from commenting on his videos -


SNEAKY WEASEL RETHUGLICAN!

Videos are all about creative idea of sight & sound, and placement of the images or video you make - he ruined and hacked up my video with mis-synced audio, and attached images and audio of the IDIOT W!



Here's what I just wrote youtube at

[e-mail]

Original video ---
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-iC_sN9Rmo

Stolen video with beginning & end ripped out to take out identifying evidence & COPYRIGHT "DALSOFT" AND REPLACED WITH "BY REPUBLICANUSA"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0CaVC1tnrg

HE EVEN PRE-BLOCKED ME FROM COMMENTING ON HIS VIDEO SO I COULDN'T SAY IT WAS STOLEN!

[rateyes]

54. I read a bunch of comments calling him a thief...

posted one of my own, and by the time mine was posted, all the others except the ones praising his video seem to have disappeared. Still, he's got a rating of one.

I hope he gets banned.

[Divine Discontent]

110. LOL

great to see details of what was happening as it happened from you all -- so he WAS removing the comments as we posted them - what a chickensh*t chickenhawk Fred Thompson lover!

Thank you for telling me. Yes, he removed it when it had pages of comments as I was writing the copyright people at youtube. I captured the video, if someone knows a service I can load it up to from an .flv file (ipod it says) I will do it, or how to transfer it, I just am amazed at all the levels of weasel-ness he did in distorting the vid, removing victims, not giving me credit, making it look like crap basically.. lol

[rateyes]

204. Question for you...

Is it OK for you to use Chapman's song?

You have a great video. I just don't want you to get in any hot water.

[Divine Discontent]

223. I'm fine. youtube has a million tribute videos they leave up, just odd to see him use mine & add W.

[EnricoFermi]

123. You know what this reminds me of

This reminds me of the "Born in the USA" hijacking that Reagan performed during the 80's.

I mean, listen to the damn lyrics, conservative assholes.

PROOF POSITIVE HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS WRONG. HE MISAPPROPRIATED WHO WAS THE CREATOR OF THE VIDEO.


Thank you Youtube.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I thought the guy at dailykos was bad for loading my videos as his own and, sadly, he didn't even tell me that a lady who was meeting with NANCY PELOSI wanted the ending to one of my videos edited so she could show it to her directly - which made me feel great, but he didn't come to my youtube and tell me, he just kept taking thanks from people and didn't respond to her! PEOPLE!

it was published, and therefore protected.

[Cameron27]

10. I added a comment.

What kind of nutball steals a video.

[Divine Discontent]

113. it's because I asked the people at the end of the video to petition Congress

to spend the war trillion on our problems here. And if his blocking me from commenting on the video he stole, before I even knew (he messed with the wrong guy) he stole it is any indication of his level of bizare-ness, I'm betting he looked at my youtube page and saw I support everyone and made gay rights videos, Wes Clark, Olbermann, as faves. He's such a jerk but thanks for YOUR support.

[ceile]

11. Done.

That was fun. Saw lots of comments in PASSWORD's favor.

[Divine Discontent]

120. ty!

[Bryn]

12. Which video on his site?

I couldn't find it. Help!

[Bryn]

14. Got it!

It wasn't there when I first went there. Then when I tried again, it finally appeared. Many nice comments from DUers!

[Divine Discontent]

122. DU'ers can sure chime in when needed, huh? TY. we're an amazing resourceful bunch! n/t

[Maddy McCall]

13. Those of you with youtube accounts...RATE THE VIDEO 1 STAR.

be sure to rate it down to one star when you post!

[Oilwellian]

37. I did

and added a loving comment. (it appears the thief is deleting comments as quickly as we add them. My comment is no longer there.) Let's make this an all day event. :evilgrin:

themartyred....you can report this to YouTube and demand it be taken down because of copyright infringement.

[Divine Discontent]

125. I wrote them, thank you.

and great minds think alike - I was thinking, he'll keep removing them but if we keep posting them - he'll give up and YANK the video - WE WON! If he ever adds it again, you can bet I'll be watching, or looking for it from another user once a week for a while.

[Richard Steele]

Thanks for the reminder!

It's currently at 1 star with 26 ratings. I was #26.

I also "alerted" (they call it "flag as inappropriate" there)
under their "other terms of use violation" option.

[Divine Discontent]

126. thank you

we certainly shocked the Hell outta him!

[Richard Steele]

140. The going got tough, he ran away with his tail between his legs- he really is a B*sh supporter!

Whores, thieves and COWARDS, every one of them.

And they're all the sort that are really making
me consider rethinking my respect for WHORES.

[Divine Discontent]

124. TY great idea. it worked there dozens of votes and tons of posts before he yanked it in fear TY!nt

[Terri S]

18. done, k & R!

Shows that person has the same ethics as the one he spliced into the beginning...and told him so!

[Divine Discontent]

127. PERFECT slam! luv it! ty! nt

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

20. How can anyone post audio of Bush and thing he's a great statesman?

He sounds like a child reading from his hastily done book report.

These idiots don't even realize what a fool the man sounds like.

[Divine Discontent]

129. Thankfully YOU do know what he sounds like - ty for your support! nt

[Clintonista2]

227. LOL!!!

"He sounds like a child reading from his hastily done book report."

EXACTLY

[opihimoimoi]

278. Those "idiots" are his true base.....they all talk, spell, think, like him

[tuvor]

21. Would clicking "Flag as inappropriate" do anything useful here?

What the hell.

[Richard Steele]

60. I don't know, but I did it anyway.

The pop-down menu has an "other terms of use violation" option.
I clicked that; I figure the COMMENTS will let the YouTube Mods
figure out what I meant.

[Divine Discontent]

130. TY! he removed it! woohoo!

[tuvor]

178. ...

:toast:

[sybylla]

280. Now wait for the whine that libruls trashed his site

Of course he'll never mention the whole story. Just that libruls trashed his stuff.

[1776Forever]

22. My reply to this thief tells him he needs to live by the 10 Commandments & NOT steal!

Here is my reply to him:

"Why did you steal this video? It was done by someone else - If you didn't know the 10 Commandments say YOU SHALL NOT STEAL - If you don't know where to go to read this in the Bible there are two versions of the ten commandments given in the Bible. The first is contained in Exodus 20, and the second in Deuteronomy 5. God Bless You!":kick:

[Divine Discontent]

131. what a treasure you are! n/t

[karlrschneider]

24. What a chickenshit coward! Left a comment with IMPEACH

in caps.
:toast:

[Divine Discontent]

132. one word slams - gotta luv em!

:toast:

[classof56]

Your video is amazing, beautifully done and moving.

Haven't heard Gary Chapman in a long time, and his song brought tears, along with the images. Thank you for honoring the true victims of this terrible tragedy in such a meaningful way. The likes of the neocon who stole your work never fail to apall, enrage and sicken me. A pox on him, and them all!

Blessings to you.

Tired Old Cynic

[Divine Discontent]

137. MUCH love to you for such a powerful comment in support of the victims and...

I couldn't agree more about them (the cowards), they never fail to disgust me. The things he did to the video are beyond the pale! Removing the dead and placing a long image of B*sh! WTH??? Thankfully, it's down. I captured his video re-edit before he removed it though - minutes before he pulled it under the pressure from DU! He kept trying, in vain, to remove our comments but eventually gave up. LOL

Blessings to you, too. Brought me to tears also, there was just something magical about his beautiful song with the arrangement I felt led to put the video under. I cannot even IMAGINE how horrified those poor people were when it happened. What bravery to go out there and try and save them in a river.

Later!

[starroute]

25. Can you get YouTube to take it down?

They regularly take down clips in violation of copyright if someone complains -- don't know why that wouldn't apply to you. It's worth trying, at any rate.

[karlrschneider]

28. Better yet BAN the sonofabitch.

:mad:

[Divine Discontent]

135. I just asked [e-mail] to do as you asked. TY n/t

[Divine Discontent]

133. he removed it, TY! we win and my creation remains mine for the victims & the rescuers NOT a B*sh ad

[superkia]

27. You do something that means something,

just to have someone steal it for something political. This just shows what the current administration teaches people, go ahead, prop yourself up on the lives of Americans. Shameful!

I take it theres nothing you can do about it? I couldn't bear to stay on his site, it made me sick! Are people like that for real or do you think they are paid? I don't see how ANYONE with half ( or I should say any )a brain could still support this man and his crook ass buddies!

[Divine Discontent]

141. Paid in one way or another, I agree... I really do. I scratch your back, you scratch mine? possibly

Yes, thank you, I make something poignant and commiserating with others that has touched many people (over 5000 from what I saw last) and this hack Thompson supporter and B*sh apologist comes and removes certain elements to promote B*sh and remove the images honoring the dead at the end. He probably (almost DEFINITELY) went to my page and saw I am gay, and a huge Clark and Olbermann supporter and then decided to block me from commenting from his videos, but I'm sure he never thought I'd see it, wrong! LOL You all ROCK.

[Terri S]

29. I flagged it as inappropriate

stealing of intellectual property wasn't one of the reasons, so I put 'other'. If YouTube sees enough comments stating that it was stolen, they'll get the idea.

[Divine Discontent]

142. TY for the effort! :) he pulled it n/t

[guitar man]

30. I added a comment

what a POS!! :grr:

[Divine Discontent]

143. great name for him... ty n/t

[karlrschneider]

33. Hey just out of curiosity, how did you happen to find it?

:hi:

[Divine Discontent]

147. I enjoyed some wonderful comments from people that were AT the scene or on the bridge

telling me my video touched them, and that mine made them cry and one guy humbly said mine was far better than his, so I went out of respect b/c he was there, and watched his, it was good, and I gave him 5 stars and said I know discussing it makes it easier, so I went back to my video and looked at "similar videos" on the left side and I saw the image of the Bus Hero - and I thought - hmmm. I wonder if that's my video reposted, which wouldn't have been a big deal as long as they left my copyright name at the end showing I made it and maybe saying where they found it (but if you're that skilled to download the video you should just put the original as a featured video on your page), but to my shock I noticed he had just stolen my creation and changed the beginning and end, and added Bush audio on it... PUKE.... and to remove the victims at the end and show W, how pathetic!

:hi:

[karlrschneider]

153. It's good Karma you happened to notice it!

:toast:

[Pab Sungenis]

34. Send it to Olbermann!

This guy is probably a "viral marketeer" in Thompson's unofficial campaign! Investigate!

[Divine Discontent]

148. good point... ty n/t

[glitch]

194. Oooh, wouldn't that be sweet. Very good idea! nt

[Greyskye]

35. rated it down and commented

Just about :puke: when I went to his homepage. What a pathetic loser this guy is.

[karlrschneider]

36. Heh...his rating is down to 1 star

:evilgrin:

[tuvor]

38. The poor fella is deleting our comments.

And it seems we've been blocked from commenting.

[Oilwellian]

39. and blocking us from further comments

fucking shithead.

[Divine Discontent]

150. goodness, he's going into berzerk mode isn't he?

can you imagine how crazy he looked trying to remove all the comments and blocking each of the users from telling him he's a thief? ty all for helping barrage him to pull it down. I asked youtube to ban him.

[driver8]

40. It looks like some of the comments are starting to disappear...

There were 3 pages when I posted mine, I hit refresh, and then there was only 1 page of comments.

We need to hammer this asshole all day until he has to remove this video.

[Divine Discontent]

151. you did it! thank you!!! :) n/t

[Cameron27]

41. Something's wrong.

Now I'm only seeing 10 comments, and there were 21 the last time I looked.

edited to say ALL the comments about stealing have been removed.

[Divine Discontent]

152. TY! he removed it, and I will be monitoring to see if he reloads it

I notified youtube and asked for him to be banned. He truly misappropriated who made the video originally, and even blocked me BEFORE I even knew it was stolen - amazing he thought that far ahead - bet he never thought I'd find it, but I found the other tributes interesting, esp. one from someone who was there when it collapsed, and that's how I found his thievery and how he changed it into an advertisement for B*SH! He messed with the wrong group of people... but wow, he's a kooky one, his page is scary.

[PA Democrat]

42. Why did all of the comments revealing this guy's theft disappear?

They were there and now they're GONE.

[KingFlorez]

43. Well, he's deleted everyone's comments

What a little coward

[PA Democrat]

47. How does that work? I am not familiar with You Tube's procedures.

[KingFlorez]

48. You can delete comments on videos you post

[PA Democrat]

52. Well, I hope the creep can go without sleep for the next few days

because I doubt that the comments are going to stop until the video is pulled.

[Divine Discontent]

156. I'll keep an eye on him even though he removed it, I liked watching the tribute vids

so I found his (mine) that he manipulated and re-edited with the big dummy from Crawford appearing as a victim at the end, and removed the actual dead... sick bastard. TY for your support.

[Divine Discontent]

154. amazing coward... and wow, he musta been pooping his shorts

when he saw the dozens of comments coming in page after page and he couldn't keep up and didn't want to be embarrassed so he just YANKED his stolen video! LOL... ty!

[GoneOffShore]

44. I posted a comment and alerted the video

under Violation of Terms of Use.

Called him a thief and said the only thing his home page was missing was him kissing Shrubs ring.

[Divine Discontent]

158. ty so much n/t

[Greyskye]

45. WTF? Comments are dissappearing as we speak

His number of comments went from 22 to 10 in just a couple minutes. All of the negative ones are disappearing. What, you can delete comments you don't like?

:wtf:

[1776Forever]

53. Yes the person who posted the video can delete comments

Keep 'em comin' guys!!!!!!!!!! Let's make this one for the Libs!!!!!!!!! We can let them know we are tired of being used!!!!!!!!!:kick: :wow: :kick:

[Oilwellian]

46. Click the flag as inappropriate button on his stolen work

There's a dropdown link you can go to & complain about copyright infringement.

[driver8]

49. I have been blocked from commenting on his videos...imagine that?

I can't imagine a freeper who wouldn't want the truth to come out.

[Divine Discontent]

159. you all's comments are cracking me UP love it, thank you! very funny slam! n/t

[Sequoia]

208. I've never posted on there before.

But I will now. How tacky of him. Maybe you should let the good people of Democracy Now know about it. Never can tell, they might want to do a story. Then I can listen to you on the radio when I get ready for work!

[Divine Discontent]

225. fun idea! n/t

[AX10]

50. Thompson is going for the Reagan angle.

Reagan was also a B-Grade "actor" and liked to steal from the common folk too.

Sorry to hear this.

[Richard Steele]

51. I've rec'd this thread, and posted this comment to the video over at YouTube:

"You STOLE this video from someone who actually
has TALENT and CREATIVITY.

You are a thief, a wannabe, and a coattail cling-on.
I guess sucking up to The Little Dictatortot just
comes naturally to a pathetic and talentless non-entity like you.

Bush supporter = thieving scumbag. What a shock.

Sincerely, Richard Steele"

[Oilwellian]

58. I saw it before it was deleted :D

Tried going to my other YouTube channels to leave a message but they're automatically blocked as well. Everyone on DU needs to keep this guy deleting all day. :evilgrin:

[Richard Steele]

68. And now the sorry little bitch has blocked me from commenting again. Typical cowardly B*shBot.

I attempted to post:

"THIEF- this is someone else's video. You STOLE
it, you disgusting little creep.

And now you've got a full-time job CONCEALING your theft by deleting comments!

Good luck with that, you pathetic little wannabe!"

Typical of the backwash B*sh-base- cowards and thieves,
every damn one of them.

But he can't block me from the "flag as inappropriate" function,
and there seems to be no limit on how many times I can click that.

I'm gonna keep that tab open and "flag" it every five minutes
until it's gone.

[Divine Discontent]

166. again my friend, you rock! we are all SO sick of their shit, aren't we??? ty for the effort! n/t

[Divine Discontent]

165. TY for the effort! :) he pulled it n/t

[Divine Discontent]

161. thank you for posting what you wrote so I can see it!

awesome righteous slam against this neocon loving talentless prick!

thank you again, dicksteele, you are awesome.

[Richard Steele]

192. "Awesome" might be a bit hyperbolous....

But I do "have my moments", and that's a fact! :thumbsup:

[spanone]

55. thompson is such a light weight politically, he's pathetic. he's a bad actor at best

[MiniMe]

56. My response, which I'm sure will be deleted soon

You don't want people to know that you stole the video from password so you are deleting the comments? How very republican of you.

[Divine Discontent]

168. it makes it all so perfect doesn't it? steals, blocks me ahead of time, praises b*sh, block you all

what a coward... and even removed the victims! that gulls me.

[driver8]

57. !!! To the OP, please contact You Tube and tell them your video was stolen.

http://youtube.com/t/contact_us

I don't know if it will help, but it can't hurt!

[mindfulNJ]

59. keep commenting people...

He keeps deleting them. What a loser.

[Terri S]

61. oh dear... ah been blocked ... lol! n/t

[PA Democrat]

62. What a pathetic weasel. He deleted my comment within 30 seconds.

[Cameron27]

63. The SOB blocked me.

[mindfulNJ]

64. I've been blocked too.

Jeez...what an ass.

The OP needs to report this to YouTube.

65. keep this kicked, and keep commenting on 'his' video

Let's see how long he wants to babysit his youtube account and keep deleting all of the comments.

I also sent him some email via youtube - you can do that even if he blocked you from commenting. Hit him on multiple fronts and keep him hopping all day long! :evilgrin:

[Divine Discontent]

169. what a loser poser he is! ty SO SO SO much Greyskye! he yanked it n/t

[Maestro]

66. What a loser!

Sorry to hear about this. Karma is a bitch. I hope he gets his soon.

Edit: The asswipe is deleting all comments. Only four positives are left because they obviously do not know where he stole the video.

[Divine Discontent]

170. taking time to PERSONALLY thank you all, I spent good time on that tribute to the victims

and b/c you all came to my aid, I want to thank you.

[rateyes]

67. Hey, here are some more lies by REPUBLICANTURD

Here is what he says about himself. Let me add that, anyone who is actually a REALTOR does not misspell the word by adding an A (REALATOR)

71. YouTube terms:

YouTube Community Guidelines
Respect the YouTube Community
We're not asking for the kind of respect reserved for nuns, the elderly, and brain surgeons. We mean don't abuse the site. Every cool new community feature on YouTube involves a certain level of trust. We trust you to be responsible, and millions of users respect that trust, so please be one of them.

We Review Videos Flagged As Inappropriate

Okay, this one is more about us than you. When a video gets flagged as inappropriate, we review the video to determine whether it violates our Terms of Use—flagged videos are not automatically taken down by the system. If we remove your video after reviewing it, you can assume that we removed it purposefully, and you should take our warning notification seriously. Take a deep breath, read our Terms of Use and try to see it from our perspective. If you find other videos on YouTube with the same violations, please flag them so we can review them as well!

Don't Cross the Line
Here are some common-sense rules that will help you steer clear of trouble:

YouTube is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your video, even if it's a video of yourself, don't post it on YouTube. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation. Please read our Safety Tips and stay safe on YouTube.

Don't post videos showing dangerous or illegal acts, like animal abuse, drug abuse, or bomb making.

Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don't post it.

YouTube is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies and stuff like that. This includes war footage if it's intended to shock or disgust.

Respect copyright. Only upload videos that you made or that you have obtained the rights to use. This means don't upload videos you didn't make, or use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without their permission. Read our Copyright Tips for more information.

We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech which contains slurs or the malicious use of stereotypes intended to attack or demean a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or nationality.

There is zero tolerance for predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, invading privacy, or the revealing of other members' personal information. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from YouTube.

Don't try to cheat the system. No gamed thumbnails, spamming tags, or creating dummy accounts that do things a human wouldn't do.

Please take these rules seriously and take them to heart. Don't try to look for loopholes or try to lawyer your way around them—just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created. Violations of the Terms of Use may result in a warning notification or may result in termination of your account and deletion of all your videos. We decide whether we believe your violation of our Terms of Use should result in termination of your account. If you have an account terminated you are prohibited from ever signing up for another account!

I created this video to remember this tragedy . We'll never forget. I feel great sorrow for the victims and their families. May God bless them all.

He just wrote me a private email and said:

Here's the first page of comments from you all before he started deleting, I'm so sorry I didn't get to all those other pages of comments, who knew he was right there typing away in panic mode deleting them and blocking you all ---

[MissMillie]

73. how 'bout we give it a poor rating while we're at it

and tell how much we liked the original?

[Divine Discontent]

184. ya, the original sans-b*sh ugly mug in it! lol.. ty!

[guitar man]

74. this is the comment I left, deleted of course

You're a thief!! You stole this video from my friend and hack edited it to fit your BS agenda. In case you didn't know, this constitutes copyright infringement. I'm in the entertainment biz and I have a great lawyer for such things, to whom I will be referring my friend you stole the video from.

You're a real piece of shit!!

[karlrschneider]

81. I went to his page and left a personal comment there...

185. ty for a great comment! n/t

75. The OP might want to pursue this...

If you are the copyright owner of a video and feel it has been uploaded without your permission, please follow these directions to submit a copyright infringement notice.

79. Also....you don't have to mail your complaint to YouTube

You can email it to [e-mail]

[johnnie]

76. I'm saving up till later

I think everyone who didn't post yet wait until later. It's funny to think he is sitting there right now waiting for more to delete.

Another typical republican punk-ass. Steals, lies and then takes credit for things they don't do.

[Divine Discontent]

187. I love your thinking... he wrote me & said "congratulations" & that was it. I'm still monitoring him

[Connonym]

77. His latest post in the comment section -- this is a great one folks

"I created this video to remember this tragedy . We'll never forget. I feel great sorrow for the victims and their families. May God bless them all."

And the ass has the nerve to call himself a god fearing person. Doesn't god hate liars?

[Divine Discontent]

188. even blocked me b/f I found it, so he knew he was being bad. ty for your suport! n/t

[TOhioLiberal]

78. The little sleeze...

...has disabled rating 'his' video. I did however, flag as inappropriate (other TOS violation) hopefully it'll be pulled soon.

[Divine Discontent]

189. TY for the effort! :) he pulled it n/t

[go west young man]

82. He's got a blocker up on the comments so that he can review

them first. I gave him a piece of my mind for ya just the same. As usual the right has to steal from the left and make it their own so they look semi-creative. Of course we all know they have no ability to be creative on their own. Their minds don't work that way.

[Divine Discontent]

190. good GRIEF

as I work my way through all your awesome comments I see he took EVERY weasel move he could to avoid being caught and hearing from us as he was caught. First he blocked me when he downloaded my vid, knowing he was going to rework it to promote Der Fuhrer, then he started erasing your comments one by one, then blocked you when you posted again, then made messages only approved when he read them, then deleted the rating of his video, then pulled it - and finished off by writing me a "congratulations" private message with a smiley in it! W_E_I_R_D_O!

That's what he gets for making it look like he did the video, mangling it up and making it suck in his form, removing the victims and inserting the shrubking in their place. :puke:

[driver8]

83. He removed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha Ha Ha....

Good job, DU'ers!!!!!!!!!!!!

[karlrschneider]

89. I wonder if he knows what (who) hit him?

:rofl:

Watch out for new DUers today...

Yay DU! :toast:

[1776Forever]

102. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for taking your time to protest this so called hypocritical Christian thief! It is one thing to say we are Christian and another to live it, and I can only hope this is a good lesson for Mr. Mathis!!! We always need to stand up for Lefty rights!!!!!!!

P.S. If you have the time please check out Passwords other videos. :yourock:

93. He removed it!!

Dumbass stole from the wrong person this time.... :bounce:

there's only one thing left to say....

[Divine Discontent]

199. you got THAT right, don't mess with a DU'er, or they'll call in the DU troops! n/t

224. you bet!

Anything for a brother/sister in the struggle...:thumbsup:

94. Typical Republican...

So quick to delete any opposition comments from the public eye. That's their tactic with right-wing controlled talk radio too. They should all be strug up.

[Divine Discontent]

201. such a capitulation on his part, but maybe his little compassionate heart knew it was wrong LOL! n/t

[johnnie]

95. LOL, it's gone

What a moran. Another fucking dipshit republican crook.

[KingFlorez]

97. I guess DUer's turning up the heat on him got to be too much

[Divine Discontent]

98. I have the stolen video downloaded in ipod format if anyone wants to spew

it's in FLV format, I ACTUALLY captured it about 2 minutes before he removed it in shock that my dear friends at DU came to my aid.

[guitar man]

100. he didn't know

he was jabbing at a hornet's nets.... :evilgrin:

glad to help, that was fun!! :bounce:

[Subdivisions]

103. We need to get that video back up on the net. My suggestion

would be to repost it to youtube with an explanation that Thompson stole it trying to get brownie points for caring about those who were harmed in a disaster caused be a lack of funding for infrastructure.

[Divine Discontent]

203. I'll work on that, and until then DU'ers READ THIS -------

I converted his version of my video to an AVI file -

the size of it is 6.66MB


I kid you not.

[Longhorn]

221. May I ask what you used to convert from flv to avi?

I'm a teacher using PowerPoint and I've been using some You Tube videos in my presentations. I used keepvid.com to download the files but can't insert them since PowerPoint doesn't recognize them as movie files. Instead, I inserted a picture and then added a hyperlink to the picture to the file in the same folder and changed the file itself to be opened with Windows Media Player. But it would be nice if I could convert and then insert as movie clips into the slide. Is there a shareware or low-cost program I can use to convert?

Thanks for your help but if you're too busy to handle this off-topic question, I understand. :hi:

[Forkboy]

226. A free and relatively easy way to convert FLV files to WMV,AVI,etc.

I use this all the time now.The page has all you need to do it;A tiny tiny program and a tutorial on how to use it.It might seem a tad intimidating if you're not used to the command prompt,but the tutorial is very easy to follow,and once you do it one time you'll see how simple it is.He even gives the choice of an "easy option" and a "more complex option"...use the easy one...it's easy. :)

http://worldtv.com/blog/guides_tutorials/flv_converter.php

[Longhorn]

233. Thanks, Forkboy!

I'm at work so I'll take a look at it when I get home. I appreciate your kindness! :hi:

[Forkboy]

238. No problemo! I'll help if I can if you have any questions.

But the tutorial is pretty basic.If I could figure it out anyone can. :)

[Longhorn]

260. It worked!

I couldn't get it to work on the first file I tried -- I got an error message -- but it worked on the second. Thanks again! :yourock:

[Forkboy]

273. Awesome...glad it worked!

:thumbsup:

[Divine Discontent]

229. never too busy for a DU'er

I used firefox.com and downloaded a program called youtube downloader from their plugins, once I downloaded his edited video, I then clicked the option to transfer it into another format so I could have a copy of it. Hope that program works for you. :hi:

[Longhorn]

236. I use Firefox at home so this sounds like a good fit.

I didn't get to this thread until after the creep had pulled his video but I'm really glad you brought it to DU's attention! We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more!

I won't get to see your video until I get home -- my college campus won't allow us to go to YouTube because that many students going there bogs down the server.

:yourock:

[MLFerrell]

104. Notify Youtube of the copyright violation.

And here's a nice "cease and desist" order to send him (fill in the brackets yourself):

Dear {name}:

It has come to my attention that you have made an unauthorized use of my copyrighted work entitled {name of work} (the "Work") in the preparation of a work derived therefrom. I have reserved all rights in the Work, first published in {date}, {and have registered copyright therein}. Your work entitled {name of infringing work} is essentially identical to the Work and clearly used the Work as its basis. {Give a few examples that illustrate direct copying.}

As you neither asked for nor received permission to use the Work as the basis for {name of infringing work} nor to make or distribute copies, including electronic copies, of same, I believe you have willfully infringed my rights under 17 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $150,000 as set forth in Section 504(c)(2) therein.

I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing works derived from the Work, and all copies, including electronic copies, of same, that you deliver to me, if applicable, all unused, undistributed copies of same, or destroy such copies immediately and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. If I have not received an affirmative response from you by {date give them about 2 weeks} indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall take further action against you.

Very truly yours,

{signed}

EDIT: different brackets

[Divine Discontent]

214. great! I will use this indeed in the future n/t

209. Here are two more comments from "repug morans" on his site (very disgusting)

raouldukelives

We defeated Hitler and we will defeat Saddam!! God Bless George the 2nd and God Bless the only country in the world worth two bits USA!


citizenkong

George Bush is a direct conduit to God. We should thank God every nanosecond that he gave a leader so clean and pure. Jesus pales in comparison. Anyone that doubts this MUST be a terrorist! Oh, and Ann Coulter is an intellectual giant. God is on the side of the Republicans. He spoke to George and George spoke to me. In fact he is here right now. Say hello George!

[Gregorian]

218. That's unadulterated psychosis.

Geepers. I'm actually afraid to live in the same dimension with those kinds of creatures. I'm really quite shocked.

[Beaverhausen]

249. that second comment has to be a joke. For one thing, every word is spelled correctly

and another well, I hate to think anyone is that screwed up.

[Maddy McCall]

109. I flagged it, my kid flagged it, and I know other DUers flagged it.

Maybe You Tube pulled it.

What do y'all think?

[MLFerrell]

114. No, he pulled it voluntarily.

The page now says "This video has been removed by the user"

[Maddy McCall]

118. OK...thanks!

[lpbk2713]

111. K&R .... Damn if that's not just like a rethuglican.

Stealing the credit and shifting the blame is a way of life for them.

[guitar man]

115. damn

I guess I'm blocked from adding personal comments on his page too :(

I was going to mention that at 29, he certainly isn't to old to volunteer for Iraq!

[cui bono]

128. Fred Thompson is 29 ?!?!?!?!

[guitar man]

136. It's not Fred Thompson's page

It's a 29 year old Kool Aid drinker's page who supports Thompson.

[cui bono]

139. I know. It was a joke

since your response was to the OP and didn't mention the person whose page it was.

;)

[guitar man]

145. oh, duh!!

I'm a little thick sometimes......:blush:

[cui bono]

240. =)

[Richard Steele]

117. I just got a page full of unrelated thumnails when I "refreshed"; has YouTube deleted this?

I hope so; and I hope they BAN this theiving little asswipe from
posting any more of his pathetic B*shBot asskissery.

[Richard Steele]

121. YUP- "This video has been removed by user". pissant coward little B*shbot thief asslicker!

[StClone]

180. YES!!!

[kaygore]

119. Rats, he removed it before I could call him a lying, stealing sh*t

But I was really moved by your tribute. Well done!

[Divine Discontent]

232. thank you so much! :) n/t

[hyphenate]

134. "This video has been removed by the user"

That's what's there now.

[silverlib]

144. This looks like good fodder for KO's worst person award

and a recommend and kick even if the video has been removed and the slime has deleted the comments and the ratings.

[southpaw]

177. YES! Please e-mail Keith about this.

I would love to see this guy in the Worst Person in the World segment.

[TransitJohn]

146. Oh man! What an example of douchebaggery!

Sorry! But, you know.....that's what passes for creativity on that side. He probably thinks he's captain video.

[mindfulNJ]

149. Be sure to go in and

downgrade all his other little gems on his profile page. What a wanker.

[MagickMuffin]

160. WE DID IT, He took it down

:woohoo::applause::woohoo::applause::woohoo::applause::woohoo::applause::woohoo::applause::woohoo::applause:

239. thanks! :) n/t

[noiretextatique]

162. sorry...i couldn't stomach his home page

bush is "our hero?" :wtf:

[Contrary1]

163. You might want to post a reply to these nutjobs:

"You STOLE all these pictures, didn't you? And you STOLE the music, too. Shame on you!"

"So let me see if I got this straight. You stole pictures and music to make "your" video and you have the gall to complain about someone else "stealing" "your" video? Did I get that right?"

[Divine Discontent]

241. I replied to them as a group on youtube. thanks!

I - unlike the guy who claimed the tribute as his own creation - credited Gary Chapman for his song, I also thanked the photographers & I'm not making 1 cent - but there's no way I'm going to let a conservative use it to advertise THOMPSON & B*SH. It was to pay tribute to the victims & heroes, & the need to use our money wisely. He even removed the people it honored & instead put B*sh at the end! Say what you want, I won't remove comments like others. It's a simple tribute many people love.

He needs to come up with his own tribute video like the rest of us did, since he was so touched by mine, or better yet, put my video on his page like normal people do and those who were actually at the bridge, and showcase it as a video he liked instead of ignoring the point of the video & tying Bush into it, which I didn't, and I could have been brutally honest.

[MiniMe]

167. Check out his Interests and Hobbies

family,friends,politics,religion,traveling,

His Helicopter??

[Sapere aude]

171. water sports? Isn't that when you like people to piss on you?

[lpbk2713]

181. Travelling ....

Thailand? Dominican Republic?

173. Yes, I have a picture of it:

175. Hee Hee, good one

[1776Forever]

176. That's what I said about Billionaires - They don't care if the bridges fall - they have helicopters!

:argh:

[guitar man]

182. Oh BS

he doesn't own a helicopter. He has his income listed as between 100k AND 150K. Maybe an RC helicopter, but that's not enough income to own a real one. I think I am beggining to get a clue of who/what we are dealing with here...

256. Anyone with this mental vacuity

can't possibly have a license to fly anything other than a paper airplane, and if by chance he does, they're looking for pilots in Iraq.

[karlrschneider]

202. It's the propeller on top of his beanie...

:rofl:

[helderheid]

179. Congrats!! This video has been removed by the user.

[Contrary1]

186. No doubt...this guy is definitely a Republic:

"GEORGE WALKER BUSH (43rd President of the United States of America) is a leader who doesn't flinch who doesn't waver and does not back down thats why America is saver with George W Bush as President
-Arnold Schwarzenegger"

"Occupation: Realator"

[Sapere aude]

195. He's a moran from freeperville for sure!

[Clintonista2]

228. Read his youtube profile lol

That's a freeper if I've ever seen one.

[wicket]

198. The video has been removed

:evilgrin:

[Babsbrain]

200. He stole another one

Look at Flag of Freedom, added recently. Then look at Flag in the Wind added in March. (Flag in the Wind is in the 'related' section.)

[karlrschneider]

205. ARGH, you're RIGHT!!! What a shithead!

:mad:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

206. I love that he has to proclaim he is "Straight (of course)",

He seems to have such manlove for GWB, it is questionable.

[proud2BlibKansan]

207. They are from the site that cannot be named

That says it all.

[LTR]

274. You mean that site's still around?

No shit?

I thought it died long ago.

[proud2BlibKansan]

294. Yes it is still there

And there are a couple TSed DUers posting there. They use the same screen name and talk about us. :)

[MLFerrell]

297. OK, I know it's not FR.

Anyone want to spill the beans?

At least a clue perhaps?

[Sequoia]

210. I've been blocked because I'm not his friend.

How the heck do they think that? I just went there. Anyway, it seems the video has been taken away from YouTube. Rats, after all the trouble I went through to get signed up.

[Bryn]

213. I did the same thing

It took a while to get signed up then by the time I get to comment on his site, video was gone. Darn it! Also he changed that he would have to approve a comment first. What an asshole! At least many of DUers did get to him first.

[Sequoia]

222. I wanted so to razz him, ya know!

The old coot won't win anyway.

[Divine Discontent]

242. you can have your account ready for anything that happens in the future! ha, thanks n/t

[datadiva]

212. His video has now been removed

Way to go DU!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

231. 3 cheers for DU!

:bounce:

[Skittles]

215. why do people think they can get away with this kind of crap?

he needs his ass ROYALLY KICKED

[calimary]

216. What would you expect from a republi-CON pirate and those of like mind

who are attracted to him?

Kicked and recommended!

[VenusRising]

219. Comments cannot be removed from the channel.

After you comment on the video, copy and paste it to his channel comment.

He can block you, but he cannot remove the messages.

K&R

[Breeze54]

220. I'm on my way to hit the ALERT button!!!

What a total asshole!!

I'll leave a nasty comment too! ;)

K & R # 75

[orleans]

230. just watched your video on youtube. it was very moving. thank you

for putting it together --and what a wonderful piece of music to lay behind it. i posted a few toll free numbers to capitol hill switchboard on my post for you.

[brettdale]

234. make sure you leave a comment

Someome should contact youtube

[brettdale]

235. It says the video has been removed

He must of known he got caught.

Someone should contact Olbermann and the MSM.

[Triana]

237. Video REMOVED by the User! GREAT work DU!

That snivelling little plagarist Repube removed it.

[sakabatou]

248. Huzzuh!

[Dave From Canada]

252. Yeah great work. So much for free speech.

[Triana]

262. free speech is one thing. plagarism is quite something else...

..the jerk bastardized someone else's work for his own devious ends. It needed to come down.

[Richard Steele]

284. You don't know the difference between free speech and THEFT? Do you have a helicopter too?

[LanternWaste]

290. Five bucks says...

Five bucks says you can't give a cogent, valid reason as to why you believe this is a free speech issue.

[racaulk]

295. *crickets*

You're absolutely right. This is an issue of plagiarism, not free speech.

[truedelphi]

243. Since it's your video (And GOSH THIS SUCKS!) why don't you

Redo his imagery of Bush and put in a weird voice over that pokes fun of Bush

(Wait a minute - it might be difficult to get really hilarious clips of Bush - after all he is President and so certainly he is likely to be formal and appropriate - NOT!)

[brettdale]

244. FRED THOMPSON'S OFFICIAL YOUTUBE PAGE

You can leave comments to each of his videos.

[Lasher]

245. Uncleeeeeannnnn, I am uncleeeeeannnnn!!!!

Finding the video had been taken down I went to this knucklehead's website. Wow, I feel like I've been french kissed by a leper in the final stages. Or raped by someone who was smeared in shit and vomit. Or - well, if you don't get the picture hit his website. You'll know what I mean.

Gonna take a long hot shower and scrub myself with lye soap and wire brushes. That was really really bizarre!

[AnnieBW]

250. Do you know how to watermark?

Do you know how to watermark your videos? If not, learn how. Unfortunately, there's nothing that you can do about that asshole, but watermarking will be a deterrent to future actions.

[LiberalFighter]

257. Is there anything coded in videos that would identify whether parts

were identical to someone elses?

[Dob Bole]

251. Woot! nt

[Madspirit]

253. Another k&r...n/t

[Omegaman]

255. Stolen YouTube video

I went to view the video that he stole from you and found a
message that said, "this video removed by the user."
 I guess enough grief from DUers got him to take his
plagiarized piece of 'stuff' off.  I went to his home page and
MAN OH MAN!!!  He must have an entire vat of Kool-Aid in his
basement, or perhaps a swimming pool full. 

[whistle]

259. That is the reThuglicon way, steal other people's work, take credit

...for that work as your own, then when exposed blame it on Hillary Clinton! What a low-life Fred Thompson and his campaign people are. :wtf:

[Liberty Belle]

258. As a plaintiff who filed a class action copyright lawsuit and won

a big settlement, I can assure you this sounds like copyright infringement. Tell the guy to take it down now or you'll sue.

I don't know the law with videos, but for written works, a little known fact is that you can file to register copyright after it runs. Here's the kicker: if you file within 90 days of first publication, you are entitled to STATUTORY damages in court if anybody infringes. That means you don't have to prove damage to win, you only need to prove that somebody stole your work. With print works, statutory damages can run $100,000 or more.

Pay the $20 or whatever it costs for registration these days, then tell this loser your attorney will be in touch. ;-)

[whistle]

261. The stolen version of the video is gone.....

....Who says impeachment can't work....:bounce: :toast: :wtf: :kick: :shrug: :woohoo: :applause: :yourock: :hide: :applause: :yoiks:

[NanceGreggs]

263. Stealing someone else's creative idea is the lowest of the low!

AND THEN TAMPERING WITH IT TO CHANGE ITS POLITICAL MESSAGE IS EVEN LOWER THAN THAT!!!

Glad to see the DU faithful getting in there so quickly and setting the record straight!!!!

:kick:

[Divine Discontent]

267. Thank you, Nance

I feel so much better after all this DU love & quick coming to my aid - they literally had the guy running scared within 10 minutes - he couldn't delete their comments fast enough, then tells me in a PM, "congratulation :)", ha. You hit the nail on the head - it was low, but changing the political message of the video to include the latecomer B*sh with a long winded audio comment at the beginning, then putting B*sh's image over the victims at the end showed ultimately where this guy's head is at...

thanks for the Democratic :kick:

[NanceGreggs]

272. Just sorry I didn't take notice of this thread ...

... in time to kick and recommend earlier in the day.

The first article I ever had published here on DU was immediately 'snatched' by a lurker, and posted on another website as their own work.

Luckily, the first response to their posting happened within minutes: "Wow, did you think this up all by yourself? Or were you inspired by NanceGreggs, the person who actually wrote it?"

Other similar replies followed, and it was exhilirating to know that people were coming to my defence, and calling the little bitch out.

Looking at all of the DUers who came to your aid must have been an incredible experience for you. It almost negates the immediate pain one feels at seeing their creative work stolen - not to mention your particular circumstance of having it hacked to death by some hatchet-weilding Bushbot.

I guess this has been an up-and-down day for you - but I hope you'll sleep peacefully tonight, knowing that this kind of theft will NOT go unnoticed, nor unpunished!

... and please keep up the good work you're doing on behalf of ALL of us!

[mchill]

265. His bio says

He's a "realator"

Occupation: Realator
Income: $100,000 to $150,000

I'm not a realtor, but I've never seen that spelling before. One might think someone would spell their own profession correctly (unless there is an alternate spelling of realtor that I'm not aware of). Does that make him another Republican li-a-or?

[proud2BlibKansan]

268. And he's a christain too

[piedmont]

269. Actually, I think it's "Realtor (c)" nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

270. LOL Now his friends are talking about the bridge collapse in MICHIGAN!?!

Dipshits. I guess it's easy to get those M states mixed up. :rofl:

[Truth2Tell]

271. You have been blocked by this user because you are not his friend

Tried to leave a comment on his home page and got this.

All I can say is - ain't that the truth!

[debbierlus]

275. It is gone now, wimpy lil fuck

No wonder you were furious. Yet, again, DU vanquishes another freeper.

Good job on your video. I am going to subscribe to your channel!

[Divine Discontent]

276. awesome thank you! I just found out St. Paul ABC TV showed my tribute on the air

http://kstp.com/article/stories/S159987.shtml?cat=118

they show my vid for a few seconds and say to look on their website for it - it's the first one below his comments! Cool, I'm glad it touched their hearts.

You'll like some of my funny vids ripping W and his band of misfits.

[Maestro]

279. Congratulations!

:thumbsup:

[indigo32]

296. thats awesome

I can't watch at work.... but I'll definitely be checking it out

--- Indigo32 --- who drove that bridge often.

[PurpleChez]

277. It's funny that this "God Fearing Christian" lists his zodiac sign

and you're right...his home page is like an explosion of GOP diarrhea

[cullen2382]

281. Video's been removed.

Just went to the site. It said this video has been removed by the user. Score one for you!

[KalicoKitty]

286. But in the meantime, sleazyFred has been exposed! LOL

:bounce:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

282. Just found out I'm not his friend. I guess that's me and 70% plus of the country.

:-) MKJ

[Botany]

283. He pullled it!

Good for you.

[KalicoKitty]

285. Very beautiful video.

Thanks! I hope DU members will post comments on this excellent video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-iC_sN9Rmo. It appears it is being freeped!

[Felix Mala]

287. I think this guy is 11 years old...

The viddy is gone, but I left a message advising him that Bush is the worst president in the history of the United States. That oughta make him piss in his Trix...

[rodeodance]

288. some callers on cspan (Repug line)----prob. visit the site regularly

[Desert Liberal]

289. It's gone now

This video has been removed by the user. (8:55 a.m. Wed.)

I think your video was beautiful, so touching. Thank you so much for honoring the fallen. The song could not have been more fitting. :pals:

I am getting into making movies myself, and I think I'd have to go find the bastard if he ganked one of mine and screwed it up like he did yours. Typical Rethuglican bullshit! :grr:

[momzno1]

291. why not call him out on all of his videos as a plagarizer?

[mikelgb]

292. looks likr the heat got to him:

"This video has been removed by the user."
