Free Speech, Islam, Barack Obama

At one point, YouTube pulled this video, much the same as they tend to pull down anti-Obama videos. We can expect more protection for islamofascists if Barack Obama ever takes office. Like his muslim buddies, Obama has, thus far, proven himself to be very unfriendly towards free speech when such speech is critical of him. Fortunately, there was sufficient outcry to restore Condell’s video. Unfortunately, a successful outcome in such battles depends on the free dissemination of knowledge. Obama will hinder that process considerably.

Apparently YouTube, who has had some challenges with Turkey and Pakistan, have decided that it is easier to block ‘problematic’ content themselves than standing up for freedom and have Pakistani Internet operators wreck havoc on them.

We are still waiting for the day when big media realizes they have a responsibility to stand up for freedom of expression.

In his latest video, Pat Condell sure manages to step on some toes in this latest video. But that is well deserved, for what happens is serious and what he has to say is important. : (Source)

Though I appreciate Condell’s excellent work against Islam, I find it sad and ironic that he, as an atheist, also disparages Christianity, the only religion boasting a God who respects individual free will. In the end, it will be Christians defending Condell’s rights to preach against Islam, even as he attacks their own faith.

    Google owns Youtube and Google’s own mantra is “Do no evil”. I guess they have no problem working to censor people. They did it in China, so I can only expect it here.

    I hate Obama like the next guy, but if you say anything critical about him, you’re painted as a “racist”.

    I really don’t get it. Obama’s own priest of 20 years is crazy. He said that white people gave black people aids. That’s what we call “acceptable racism” and stupidity.

    but if you say anything critical about him, you’re painted as a “racist”.

    And that is no way to run a country. If you oppose “president” (God forbid) obama on proposals and legislation, is he gonna pull out the race card?
    I’m not a Bush fan by any means, but the man was subject to some of the most vile calumny and egregious verbal pummeling that I have ever witnessed. What the hell is Obama going to do when he gets a taste of that? Arrest everyone? That is what I fear.
    Woodrow Wilson managed to make criticism of him and the government illegal and Obama certainly fits into his shoes given his performance thus far.
    Bottom line, “race” is a Marxist tool to divide. Sad thing is that wherever racism might still yet exist, who will give a damn? I won’t. I am sick of the issue and what we as a nation have done to eradicate it apparently counts for naught. Why bother to do more? To be told we haven’t done enough? Screw that.

    What I hate about the race issue is that it’s two sided.

    Are there people out there that are going to vote against Obama because he’s black? Definitely.

    But the fact is that far more people are going to vote for him because he’s black.

    I remember talking to someone about the election and they suggested that people should vote for Obama. I believe what they were thinking is as white people we owe it to him.

    They retracted the statement after I pointed out how racist it was, but I think a lot of people feel that way.

    I wish we could get to the point where people will vote for someone based on who they are and the ideology they believe in, rather than these stupid reasons.

    Society needs to grow a brain.
