YouTube pulls video from Palin's church

Um, about that "liberal" media? Here's another example of censorship, but this time it's a Google-owned company doing the censoring. Major hat tip to Crooks & Liars for unearthing this gem.

From Talk to Action:

Sarah Palin was baptized at Wasilla Assembly of God and attended the church for over two and a half decades, and she has been publicly blessed by a number of pastors and religious leaders employed by and associated with that church.

Last Sunday our research team released a video, a ten-minute mini-documentary, focusing on the Wasilla Assemblies of God and the video seemed on the verge of a massive "viral" breakthrough when YouTube pulled it down, citing "inappropriate content."

At the point the video was censored by YouTube it had been viewed by almost 160,000 people. The short of it is that YouTube has censored a video documentary that appeared to be close to having an effect on a hard fought and contentious American presidential election.

Very well put, without question - it's a story that our corporate media has been slow to pick up on at best, and in most cases, flat-out ignoring. And I don't care how loudly Repubes cry about it - it IS an important story. This content is inappropriate alright, but not for the reason that YouTube gave for taking it down - it's inappropriate because it's the church that the Republican Vice Presidential Nominee of the United States enthusiastically attends, PERIOD.

When I watched the footage above, I wondered where all of the same despicable animals are now who were roasting Barack Obama over the coals for eight straight days earlier this spring about Jeremiah Wright, who's biggest "crime" was pointing out the obvious - that "America's chickens are coming home to roost," and even that was taken out of context; he was quoting what someone on Faux News had said the day before. (Another inconvenient fact that was completely ignored by the media.)

To say that this is religious radicalism at its worst would be an understatement of, ahem, Biblical proportions. The more I read about her church and what it believes in, the more troubled I am that this woman could be the president of our country.

The next thing we will hear about the story above is that "it's Sarah Palin; she's not running for president!" Another absurdity - considering McCain's medical history and age, it's more likely than not that she could possibly assume the presidency if McCain wins in November, and especially if he were to be elected twice. (Let's be honest, incumbents have many advantages and are more often than not historically elected to second terms.)

More on McCain's age in a bit.
