Joe Lieberman is kicking ass.
Maybe Google will yield too?

Charles, I wonder how much help Joe is getting from Internet Haganah?

Good on Joe.

They have to make something to remember 9/11.
For got sake, on memorial day they don't do jack. I can't imagine Google cracking down on Jihadist videos with much enthusiasm.

It's great that Joe did this, but Google and YouTube should have just done the right thing in the first place.

That's a novel idea, quit enabling the enemy.

If McCain had not chosen Sarah Palin, I would have eagerly gotten behind a McCain-Lieberman ticket. He 'gets it' on the dire necessity to vigorously and steadfastly prosecute the GWOT.

Same.
Or Rudy.

Good for Lieberman. And it's about damn time, YouTube/Google.

This is great....but there is a lot of work to do on Youtube.

In fact, I recommend that everyone here get a Youtube account...and begin "flagging".

Damn it, Obama is now grandstanding at Ground Zero with Bloomberg.
When McCain arrives they will all walk down into the pit.
I wish tha Barry was not there.

Thank you Joe.

1: Unwarranted cries of "censorship" predicted in certain quarters.

2: How about Al Jazeera? Don't they have a special YouTube channel? Does this policy only apply to Al Qaida media or to Hezbollah too?

I couldn't help myself, I had to look.

I give you the threads of DailyKos for Sept. 11th.

Any further comment from me will earn a whack of Stinky's stick.

Don't mean to be crass here but sitting at home in the dead center of where Hurricane Ike is supposed to go, taking a break from readying the house for us to evacuate.....I am struck how no one in the MSM seems to be all that concerned for us. Very unlike two weeks ago where New Orleans was in the target zone. I guess since Texas has a history of just bootstrapping itself back to normal and not whining about it, we have not activated the Michael Moore God meter yet.

re: #14 jcm
Well I don't care about that. I'm just waiting for the hurricane Ike thread here on LGF.

I already left my thoughts on 9/11 though. Remembrance of that is important. The governor of Texas opened his hurricane news conferrence with remembering 9/11 too.

Just to let you know, the first rain bands came through Galveston about an hour ago. But now it is sunny. Galveston county is under evacutattion notice now. The I-45 Freeway is jammed going north but things are going ok. Most gas stations in the area are sold out. A lot of people are still waiting to make the decision to leave. I know people always cluck cluck when someone decides to ride out the storm but it is a very difficult decision to make.

OT but I am watching McCain and Obama in NYC now and Cindy is with McCain but where oh where is MEchelle? Is she not proud enough of America on 9/11 to be there?

John & Cindy McCain are now at Ground Zero with Bloomberg.
No sign of Michelle. Hmmm, what could that mean? Maybe nothing, but odd.

Yeah it's because Texas is a state NOT run by idiots, and since LA got their new governor neither is LA. (New Orleans still is touch and go though...)

re: #19 jcm

Predicted track.

Wow, the threads are fast and furious. As for this action by Senator Lierberman, I am glad but why oh why did it take so freekin long?

Had to check the google page..

Not surprised there is no special logo for today's anniversary.

Maybe they can pull their collective heads further out of their asses and post a logo in remembrance of either the 9/11 victims or of the men and women who have died for this country.

re: #15 Big Steve

I'm further north than you are, but I know exactly what you mean. We know that doing for yourself is much more effective than waiting for the government to do things for you, so we don't make a very good news story.

re: #23 MagnaniomousCoward

we have a fair number of idiots......however, and even though he is a Democrat, Mayor White in Houston is nails in situations like this.

You are right - they will say we are trampling on their rights.

Good work Joe.

“Google’s community guidelines for YouTube will now bar videos that incite violence, in addition to videos that contain hate speech and gratuitous violence,” Sen. Joe Lieberman said in Washington on Thursday.

This wording makes it a slippery slope. Who defines "hate speech"? What constitutes gratuitous violence?

Does this video go as hateful speech?

Do Animai flicks disappear as gratuitous violence? An A-10 airstrike in Afghanistan?

re: #32 MagnaniomousCoward

re: #22 opnion

The Obamas still have small kids. McCain does not. That may be all there is to it.

Sorry but that is not really a good reason to not be there. I am sure someone could watch the kids for a few hours.

re: #30 Big Steve

we have a fair number of idiots......however, and even though he is a Democrat, Mayor White in Houston is nails in situations like this.

Yeah I saw the news conferences. He and the county judge seem quite competent, although Texas also had to learn from mistakes in Rita and Allison.

Regarding idiots, I think they simply hold/held more power in LA, but I'll retract my explanation and say this instead:

Everybody only cares about New Orleans. Even the suburbs and counties outside
it which were hit much more severely by Katrina struggled to get any attention even then. And with Gustav places like Houma and Baton Rouge got hit worse than NOLA did.

re: #34 Big Steve

DFW! The guys in my family are all with the Dallas Fire Department (I refuse to call it 'Fire and Rescue'), so I'm getting near-constant updates on the situation. We're waiting to see if the bulk of Houstonians head west or north.

It kinda bugs me that Cantor-Fitzgerald doesn't do anything on their website on 9/11. Their choice, but it just seems odd to me.

Google will cave once they are threatened by the Islamo-fascists to put the informational/educational videos back for the devout/casual observer. Where oh where is the ACLU to claim this action by Google is unconstitutional?

re: #49 Outrider

I'll decide.

About time U-Tube pulled those.

On an off topic note ....appears Bob Barr has chosen Ron Paul for his VP.

Isn't he running for his congressional seat in November as a Republican so how can at the SAME time for VP as a Libertarian? Aren't there some rules for that?

How can one be a candidate of two different parties at the same time?

Never forget that the Obama blamed lack of empathy in the USA for 9/11.he and Michelle hate us and the feeling is mutual here.

re: #56 Nancy

Dumb and Dumber '08 is taken. Have to go with Crazy and Crazier.

Remember , Obama is the guy who blew off the military hospital in Germany, because it could not be turned into a photo op.
He is getting plenty of pub now & milking it. Still where is his bitter half?

I am guessing 'Open Season' by Stuck Mojo will be targeted in the sweep soon.

Then we'll hear some BS of 'fairness' or some such...

Will they have to let Barr and Paul into the debates?

re: #56 Nancy

On an off topic note ....appears Bob Barr has chosen Ron Paul for his VP.

Has the crazy uncle accepted the nomination?

re: #53 karmic_inquisitor

That is interesting. Maybe it's because financial firms are so sensitive to anything that might effect perceptions of their stability. It's not a great excuse, but it's the only one I can imagine.

re: #61 JacksonTn

Will they have to let Barr and Paul into the debates?

No, I don't believe they have to. But it would be funny if they did. Personally, I'd love to see Palin waltz over Paul and Biden.

re: #45 ploome hineni

she is an 'in your face' black supremist

not someone you would want to cross

You just nailed it. Michelle is so down with Reverend Wright & all of the charming racism, anti-Semiticism, & anti-Americanism that goes with Trinity Church

They could have just agreed to take off the equivalent of Snuff Flicks; the ones showing US soldiers being killed or shot at. For that matter, anyone being killed or shot at.

re: #63 KibbyKat

Or they are knee-deep in Middle East Oil money investors like the UAE and don't wanna rock the trough.

I don't know........am going to check now and see.

I don't see how he can run for two different offices, same election --two different parties. That seems to me an "abuse" of the process.

re: #67 Sifty

Sigh. That's more likely.

Watching them exit ground zero together. Watching McCain limp his way up the incline.

Alright, now it really looks odd. Cindy McCain is holding her husband's arm & Barry is shlepping along next to Bloomberg. I do not believe that Michelle is so tied up with the kids.
She found time to go on Ellen the other day to get down with her bad self dancing

'Atta boy Joe!

I hope you get an appropriate job in the McCain Administration.

re: #73 Typicalwhitey

Current speculation (here) is that it's either because she's at home with her kids or because she wasn't yet proud of her country on 9/11/01. Take your pick.

An honorable guy with an honorable mission. No wonder he and McCain are "best buds".

re: #73 Typicalwhitey

We didn't want Dinnerjacket there either. Samey same.

re: #86 ploome hineni

who wants her there anyway

Or him

No one.

But surely Obama must know that this will look so bad on him.

What is he thinking?

Could also be that since 0bama has been falling in the polls, she no longer feels hope is making a comeback.

Ann Coulter today....

As Bush has said, we have to be right 100 percent of the time, the terrorists only have to be right one time. Bush has been right 100 percent of the time for seven years -- so much so that Americans have completely forgotten about the threat of Islamic terrorism.

re: #99 opnion

Watching McCain walking with his wife helping him up the exit and Obamassieh walking with the Mayor... interesting and touching contrast - old war hero being helped to attend solemn service by loving wife versus two politicians who "have to put in an appearance"... during the whole thing Obamassieh just looks like he's politicking...

Not a lot of politicians do that.

Candidates statements.

Republican John McCain, in Shanksville, Pa.:

No American living then should ever forget the heroism that occurred in the skies above this field on Sept. 11, 2001. It is believed that the terrorists on United Flight 93 may have intended to crash the airplane into the United States Capitol. Hundreds if not thousands of people would have been at work in that building when that fateful moment occurred, and been destroyed along with a beautiful symbol of our freedom. They and, very possibly I, owe our lives to the passengers who summoned the courage and love necessary to deny our depraved and hateful enemies their terrible triumph.

I have witnessed great courage and sacrifice for America's sake, but none greater than the sacrifice of those good people who grasped the gravity of the moment, understood the threat, and decided to fight back at the cost of their lives.

I spoke at the memorial service for one of them, Mark Bingham. I acknowledged that few of us could say we loved our country as well as he and all the heroes of Sept. 11 had. The only means we possess to thank them is to try to be as good an American as they were. We might fall well short of their standard, but there is honor in the effort.

In the Gospel of John it is written, 'Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends.' Such was their love; a love so sublime that only God's love surpasses it. I am in awe of it as much as I am in debt to it. May God bless their souls.

Democrat Barack Obama, in e-mailed statement:

Today, we honor the memory of the lives that were lost on Sept. 11, 2001, and grieve with the families and friends who lost someone they loved in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pa. We will never forget those who died. We will always remember the extraordinary efforts of our firefighters, police and emergency responders, and those who sacrificed their own lives on Flight 93 to protect their fellow Americans. And we give thanks for the Americans defending us every day in our communities at home, and in our military abroad.

On 9/11, Americans across our great country came together to stand with the families of the victims, to donate blood, to give to charity, and to say a prayer for our country. Let us renew that spirit of service and that sense of common purpose. Let us remember that the terrorists responsible for 9/11 are still at large, and must be brought to justice. Let us resolve to defeat terrorist networks, defend the American homeland, stand up for the enduring American values that we cherish, and seek a new birth of freedom at home and around the world.

Good job Joe.

OT- You may remember a Roe vs Wade scare e-mail I got. I tear it up here. Your daughter will die!

re: #121 Vergeltung

And unfortunately, I hear The Sun itself is in trouble. That would be a lose.

re: #62 MagnaniomousCoward

My take is that it wasn't even offered to him by Bob Barr.
Bob Barr did not show up at the conference because there was a falling out with Ron Paul staff. See below.

Sounds to me more like Bob Barr is being pressured to drop out and instead his VP candidate offered to drop out for him and the PAULIANS were insulted.

I would say not.......just games .........

Just a sample below:
Behind the scenes, there is pressure being exerted on LNC members to bring forth a motion to “un-endorse” Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root, and either replace them with alternative candidates, or leave the ticket empty. It is said by advocates that this is the only way the Libertarian Party’s brand can be salvaged after Bob Barr’s no-show at yesterday’s Campaign for Liberty event and the subsequent fall-out.

On a more grassroots level, an activist has started a petition for Libertarians to state their support for the removal of Barr to be replaced with someone other than Root. [Link: www.independentpoliticalreport.com...]

Barr campaign manager: ‘Bush showed incredible leadership’, criticizes Ron Paul and followers
September 11th, 2008 · 24 Comments

Russ Verney, the campaign manager of the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee says that President George W. Bush showed “incredible leadership as he stood atop a fire truck amidst the rubble of the twin towers to rally America.”

Verney then compares Bush’s “incredible leadership” to the “leadership” exhibited by Libertarian VP nominee Wayne Allyn Root in offering to illegally step down as Bob Barr’s running mate in deference to Ron Paul.

Then Verney goes on to criticize Ron Paul, saying the Campagin for Liberty’s historic announcement yesterday was not about “promoting the liberty agenda; it was about promoting a man.

After rumors were spread in advance of the news conference that Bob Barr was dropping from the race - just to hype the event - I became even more hesitant to attend. Those tactics were unacceptable and when asked about it, Ron Paul’s staff simply smiled and said it would attract the press.

re: #124 ploome hineni

says it all, doesn;t it?

she embodies everything, every hatred and resentment and envy he feels, and he needs someone like her

so he can show his phoney smile, and babble his slick lies

his books tell you how he thinks, his TV persona is just that

except when he can slip his contempt in

like giving Hillary the finger

bringing this type of thug into the White House?

never

I'm sure you heard the story of when I met him at a town hall.
And I can personally guarantee you that what you said was true.

re: #121 Vergeltung

honestly i drive a car with nazi ties, i can't see the big deal with this, like the article says the Germans for the most part have done a good job redressing their nazi past.

Can't think of people complaining when the japanese buy naming rights considering they have never apologized for attrocities.

I can't think of one major japanese company that wasn't involved in the war effort.

Crap, I have no idea. He's on the ballot for the Constitutional Party in MT.

re: #123 jcm

McCain speaks of courage and sacrifice, subjects he know well.

Obama, speaks of lives lost. Sorry those lives where not lost. THEY WERE TAKEN, taken by evil men with evil intent. "

Let us remember that the terrorists responsible for 9/11 are still at large,

Obama, speaks of lives lost. Sorry those lives where not lost. THEY WERE TAKEN, taken by evil men with evil intent. "

" fuck you Barry, that's bullshit politics. 50 million liberated, 2 haven nations for terrorist taken down, the net work that did this close to extinct. They haven't done anything significant since.

Not to mention, Khalid Sheik Mohammad marking his remaining days off on a prison wall. Mr. mastermind marching steadily to his destiny with the dripping needle.

re: #11 opnion

Did you also catch the pic of Hussein Obama telling one of his party hacks to give out a card (like a business card with an email address on it) to give this card to a member of the audience (and Obama telling the person "email us"! so as to contact "Obama's team"?) ie, Obama is shamelessly promoting himself politically at this event...and it was broadcast by CNN...Now that's disgusting (along with the fact that Michelle couldn't have even bothered to show up -- no doubt she has other more important activities lined up for today...probably some "Dear Diary" entry about how much she despises the United States.).

Can anyone tell me where Michelle Obama is today? I've seen John and Cindy McCain at the WTC memorial but it appears Obama was by himself

re: #40 vagabond trader

Cannot stomach watching the Obama emoting. Shame on the firefighter union supporting this pos who was under the wing of a "pastor" who damned America and gloated over the deaths on 9/11.

Please realize that though the Firefighters Union has endoresed him.The majority of firefighters I know do not.We were split probably 60 40 in favor of Bush in the last election I see it being more this time around.
The Union does not poll or ask for input before they endorse.

re: #120 opnion

Obama is there because the cameras are there. He had a two hour lunch with Clinton in Harlem today.
Slick Willey named his price & they did the deal.

Retiring Hillary's debt? (Like Bill couldn't if he wanted.)

IAFF doesn't take a membership vote for the endorsement.

re: #136 Cap'n DOC

Well I think it is all a big delusion on the part of Ron Paul's staff.

Bob Barr never had any intention of stepping down for Paul and only told them that his VP had offered to do that so Paul could have that slot and the Paul staff was insulted.

and you say that he is the Constitutional candidate in MT?

Sounds to me more like the PAul staff might have been pressuring all the independents to give up their slots to Paul. Who knows.

Because Paul at the conference saw he was endorsing ALL the independent candidates.

No they do not.

re: #146 kcladderman

Can't remember if it's a state law here in TX or something federal, but it's possible to get back the portion of your union dues that are used for political contributions. It's as simple as taking the time to write a request and it really annoys the boys/girls in charge.

re: #144 bulwrk

She's in Chicago...Chicago..Doin' up her "Dear Diary" entries, I suspect...starting with "10 Reasons Why I Despise the Amerikkka..."

re: #135 The Shadow Do

Vote anyway. I do not want to hear in a post McCain victory that he did not have the popular vote. No reprise of that one please.

That is why I will vote & it will be cathartic.

re: #146 kcladderman

My husband is a member and we know all about the political bs. Still sickening and damned near traitorous.

Yup, or maybe toss Biden off of the sled & take Hillary.
Biden is due for a real medical episode.

It's called Becker rights. We went through this when SEIU tried to unionize where my wife works. We demanded the accounted disclosure required under Becker, SEIU decided to allow my wife to opt out rather than disclose.

re: #146 kcladderman
Has any union leadership ever endorsed a conservative?

Oh trust me after 20 years our local union officials have been annoyed by me several times. I told a story the other day about them asking for volunteers to pass out literature door to door. I told them not only would I volunteer I would bring my own literature.
They declined my offer.

You kidding, right?
;-)

She's home seething.
It's going to be a lousy day for her overall.

Way too much patriotic pride and Obama is not the center of attention today.

ABC airs the first part of the interview with Governor Palin in her home town tonight too.

re: #157 jcm

Funny how that happens. I wish more union members would go the same route.

re: #158 Rancher

Actually our union has endorsed Conservative city council members though in twenty years I could count on one hand the number of times that has happened.

re: #163 KibbyKat

In WA the teachers union WEA has been fined repeatedly for failing to disclose. Cost of doing business I guess.

re: #159 kcladderman

Ha! My dad used to take great joy in turning his union 'voter's guide' into confetti as soon as he pulled it out of the mailbox.

We live in a small bitter town that is actually old style conservative democrat run. They are ALWAYS on the teachers union to tighten their greedy purses and actually keeps our taxes down.A rare place in a very blue state.

re: #165 jcm

And you can bet the money to pay the fines doesn't come out of the political fund. Vile.

I'd commend YouTube, but if I did it'd be tantamount to congratulating some idiot for avoiding falling off a cliff after 100 people warned him/her verbally of the danger and 1 person still had to tackle them after teetering on the brink.

re: #158 Rancher

I was also endorsed and supported by the teacher's union for an elected trustee on a college board.

When I asked them WHY......they clearly knew my politics --the two laughed and said --no other candidate we have ever endorsed has won and you have different party politics but are fair.

It was a non-partisan office but my involvement in the GOP were well known.

It's not gonna last, this just happens every once in a while and it's just for show. You'll find armies of accounts dedicated to Hizballah propaganda for example, dummy accounts with one Islamic death snuff video each on them, and the list goes on.

Someone will make a moral equivalence.

Then try to find any video on Israel.

I'm stickin with Joe

re: #156 opnion

Please tell me that's not possible. Were sunk if it happens IMHO. Its against their own rules. Stop laughing, rules count for something. Did you hear what Biden said?

Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States,'' Biden said. ''She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. She is easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, might've been a better pick than me.

Sounds ready to hand it over.

re: #53 karmic_inquisitor

It kinda bugs me that Cantor-Fitzgerald doesn't do anything on their website on 9/11. Their choice, but it just seems odd to me.

Really? Wow. Didn't they lose 700 employees on that day? Unimaginable.

re: #175 Intrepid

There's a bunch of us bloggers who remember one of the victims each.

re: #136 Cap'n DOC

we should have a mt lizard get together before the snow buries us and we have to dig our way out to the outhouses.

Funny thing, no 9/11 remembrance on either the google or yahoo sites.

.............better watch it Joe, the rest of the Connecticut Democratic Party may try and take your breathing privileges. It's bad enough that you are supporting McCain, NOW you are out after the poor Islamic Terrorists. Shame on you Joe. (sarc)

Great.

This means the world really did end yesterday and we were all sucked into some backwards parallel universe.

On the positive side, I kinda like it here.

re: #174 Rancher

If bo tries to dump biden for the Hill. I dont think she will go for it. She's now expecting him to lose and she can set herself up for 2012. No way is she going in 2nd fiddle.

No, she is in Chicago having lunch with Valerie Jarrett and her Iranian relatives.

Of course there are, they got sucked in too.

re: #15 Big Steve

Don't mean to be crass here but sitting at home in the dead center of where Hurricane Ike is supposed to go, taking a break from readying the house for us to evacuate.....I am struck how no one in the MSM seems to be all that concerned for us. Very unlike two weeks ago where New Orleans was in the target zone. I guess since Texas has a history of just bootstrapping itself back to normal and not whining about it, we have not activated the Michael Moore God meter yet.

They're all busy being concerned about Darfur.

Yea I really let them have it when they sent out an email to all of our union members telling us wal mart actually had the audacity to try and tell their employees how to vote.

i don't believe in the slippery slope. but are we ready to see this in american law as well? i remember many a discussion here where the freedom of speech is one of the important differences between the US and Europe.

that being said. good riddance to those scumbags on youtube.

re: #137 jcmYup, hundreds or thousands of those terrorists who aided or were allied with or later joined in support of the 19 hijackers are dead or in custody, including Sheik whatshisname in Gitmo getting all-too infrequent waterboarding.

Bravo!

I think half the population of Houston has been driving around completely lost in Dallas today.

Speech, no matter how hateful, should be permitted.

Speech that is inciting to violence or is untrue should not.
