Pat Condell: Welcome to Saudi Britain (Now Deleted by YouTube)

Video | Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 12:37:54 pm PDT

YouTube has deleted Pat Condell’s latest video, for “terms of use violation.”

Which apparently means, “criticism of Saudi Arabia.”

So here it is again.

Pat had to be taken out back and shot. Holy and precious Euro-libs held the gun, radical Muslims pulled the trigger.

Free speech is a one way street for leftists. and radicals.

The difference between the European dhimmi left and the Jews of Mitteleuropia in the 1940s is that when th e Jews were herded into the chambers they conducted themselves with more dignity. The bien pessants of the left are like chickens running around without heads wishing the trouble would just stop.

"Terms of use violation", my ass.

14 jaunte  10/01/08 12:46:18 pm reply quote

Apparently Pat ran afoul of the terms of use detailed in the "YouTube Community Guidelines" section (which I'll provisionally title 'we encourage free speech, BUT...')

Per Youtube: "We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity)."

So according to YouTube, painfully accurate descriptions of the behavior of a certain religious group with tendencies to violent retribution are considered 'demeaning.'

Amazon have the same terms of use for their customer reviews. And of course they use the so called 'hate speech attack on religion' to block any truthful statements about Islam...especially Mohammed. I tried posting two reviews of Tariq Ramadan's recent pernicious piece of propaganda on the desert psycho...one was a general relatively mild criticism of the book which got published and the other, which was more to the point, was a no holds barred rundown on Mohammed's twisted and sick trajectory on earth and that was blocked. They're scared.

You remember what happened when the child said "but the emperor isn't wearing any clothes." Even if you tell the truth that doesn't mean there will be no repercussions for having done so. The evil house of saud wants no public dirt and does just about anything to keep it off of their hands. An embarrassing episode like this is dirt of the nastiest sort - it shows the evil cult for what it truly is.

Unfortunately for Britain, they will topple rather easily. a slow death, a thousand paper cuts, if you will. they are an un-armed citizenry.

If you think that you can keep your guns once B0 is in the White House, then you have another think coming.

Rather than shedding crocodile tears about us Brits (who are getting a proper conservative as Prime Minister come the next election), you better get cracking and work your socks off to prevent B0 from being elected - not much time left, is there!
