The Difference Between Barack Obama and John McCain

[willis636]

the difference between barack obama and john mccain is that obama is the president :P

[DavidGeorgeBolen]

Once again, your videos are completely sickening to me.

First off, the people moderating these pages most are not the Obama or McCain, they are someone who thinly works for them and makes these decisions.

Second off, your post is vile towards Obama and positive towards McCain. I wonder why he accepted it?

[mutualdisdain]

Obama and McCain hired the people who controlled the moderation of their YouTube pages. They hired the staff and set the policy that allowed the moderation to take place.

The difference in those moderation styles was important to note because they said a lot about the candidate themselves.

My post was not vile, but rather a statement of fact. Whether or not it was published was not the question.

The point was that it was impossible to see what censorship was taking place on Obama's page.

[barackobamabotcom]

Hobama sucks.

[kensuke0]

Pretty ridiculous that you can't post whatever you want in Obama's page.

But how do you know McCain just doesn't look at his own YouTube account? Or rather doesn't have people looking over it? Maybe they actually care less about the internet campaign than do the real one?

In McCain's defense, he can also take shit in real life. Like that kid with the "too old for office" comment.

WHOA, this video is right, 5 HUGE STARS! I just did a test, at 11:38 I typed a critical comment onto Obama's website on the video "Come to North Carolina to Volunteer" -- and over 20 minutes later and it still has not posted (though it shows on my profile page). So for fairness I went over to McCain's site and typed a critical comment on his video "Fight," and *snap* posted immediately! Freedom of expression! Love it. Obama the suppressor, how unAmerican.

[katiatomsk]

Obama may not be qualified to be president under the US Constitution, Article 2 Section 1 "No person except a natural born Citizen...shall be eligible".

Perhaps this explains the lack of free speech issue:

Obama hasn't produce a REAL birth certificate. It is the US Constitution and it is important. How can Obama take the Oath of Office after ignoring the importance to prove his eligibility???

[americaninjustice]

You noticed this two months ago. The concept of fundamental rights is critical to the US.

[mutualdisdain]

Yes, its amazing that we all made the same video.

Liberals often say "even though you can't freely post your comments here there are a hundred other places on the web you can post your thoughts."

Dissent is best when its in the same context as the original speech, because it allows readers to see all points of view and decide for themselves.

If the liberals dominate all the major places to discuss politics on the web and filter comments, where will dissent exist?

[americaninjustice]

Amazing! Three made the same video. You were the first. But few noticed these videos. What makes America great is its ideals. The principle of Respect for fundamental right is the reason people respect America. Isn't free speech important?

[andru3x]

wow...i didn't know Barrack Obama and John McCain PERSONALLY check their youtube accounts and see the comments daily...That's great of them to PERSONALLY login and check their messages. It's not like they would leave a huge decision like that to someone else. heaven forbid.

HOw dare Obama PERSONALLY filter his comments. how dare he spend 24 hours of his busy day to ban free speech. Obama can't be president now. because imagine if he won...he wouldn't be very nice to internet retards

[mutualdisdain]

Despite your sarcasm, you must know that both John McCain and Barack Obama set the policies that their subordinates follow here.

John McCain has set a policy in place that allows all comments to be published. Barack Obama's YouTube channel, like many other liberal websites, fear dissent and greatly limit free speech.

[N37BU6]

This is interesting...

I just made essentially the same video, with almost the same title. I searched for it to see if it was coming up in the results yet, and found this.

Glad to see others are noticing. It has always annoyed me, and today I had to make my point before I could get it off my mind and relax. I'm kind of disappointed that I was beaten to the punch, though... lol. Nice video.

I don't even support McCain... it's just that insulting to be gagged.

[mutualdisdain]

I think it says a lot that you, myself, and americanjustice all made essentially the same video.

It is clear what the state of freedom of speech will be for the foreseeable future. Unless your "truth" matches the status quo, you're going to have a difficult time finding a venue for your speech.

[Dixmak]

I'm N37BU6 (see my comment down there?)

I posted a video accusing Obama and Oprah of being racist hypocrites. It was immediately removed and I was given a warning. Fast forward 3 days... my account is suspended now, and I had to use this, my second one.

CENSORSHIP SUCKS.

[noreast77]

Good vid unfortunately, in the tradition of faux noos you only checked one side. McCains channel deletes comments and blocks accounts, that too is a documented fact. Before or after, they are both cowards.

[mutualdisdain]

If you look at the annotation in the video, you'll see:

"Anyone can log into YouTube and comment on a McCain video. When you click Post Comment on a McCain video it is instantly published to the world. That way if a comment is removed later, it is public knowledge that McCain has removed a comment."

It is possible to track censorship on a McCain video. It is virtually impossible on an Obama video.

[JohnAgra]

obama is a faggot.. he likes to smoke cuban cigar and cocks

[IronythatisLife]

There are many tasteless comments about John McCain. The difference is that he is man enough to take it. Who do you want in office? John McCain who wants to hear from the American people? Or, Barack Obama who feels his words are the onlt word worth listening to?

watch?v=mn_llXvTx5g

[steele2587]

People always leave and have inappropriate comments about Obama. Of course there going to censor the comments by the unintelligent.

[iLLaPiNo83]

They censor all comments! not only unintelligent comments but also intelligent. They "approve" 1 or 2 comments on anti Obama comments just so they can click on the "Thumbs Down" icon.

[gttrsnp]

thats why there's the thumbs up/down feature. and you'll notice that even though Obama's comments are moderated, they all get thumbed up.

[littlefoots121]

Obama comes off as the type of guy that will snicker if he's the brunt of your joke, but later on, he'll have you kidnapped and cooked in an oven for making fun of him.

[HisXLNC]

Socialist never believed in free speech. Only in censored and pre-approved speech.

[jjfriedberg]

Obama doesn't want idiots spreading lies over the internet about him.

[4jacksFort]

Good Point Man!! I wouldn't be cuaght dead adding a view count to an obama video, so I didn't know this. But I do kinda wish someone would delete all the stupid comments from McCain's videos. I'm not a big fan of him, but his comments are hawked by liberals more than wikipedia.

[WildRiverman]

Good job getting that on video! Can anyone say why Obama filters comments? Whats he so afraid of?

[WaffleBakingStar]

Knew everything here already, for like 2 months. But good job in getting it in video form :D

[ReneeNme]

Apparently McCains YouTube camp is in favor of "Freedom of Speech" unless what you have to say is strong and based in fact.And if it is?You get banned from commenting on their videos.How do I know?It happened to ME!!

[TranCendenZ]

ReneeNme, what were the EXACT words that you used when commenting on McCain's YouTube Channel?

[ReneeNme]

I referred to him as a "treasoness ass" in referance to his making propaganda videos,making propaganda radio broadcasts and willingly providing "real" classified information in exchange for preferential treatment while a POW.

[TranCendenZ]

ReneeNme, you should try posting the same message minus the foul language. If too many comments contain curse words, then users will flag the video, and then young people won't get to watch the video.

[ReneeNme]

I haven't tried for the last few days so I'll give it a go TranCendenZ.If nothing else I may try sending them a message asking what the deal is.I only used that one word and have seen ppl post MUCH worse on their videos.

[erik24077]

try playing in traffic instead

[ReneeNme]

That was awe inspiring erik.Thank you.

[erik24077]

Certainly, I figured it would be a hobby worthy of anyone stupid enough to insinuate that Senator McCain is guilty of treason.

[buffalofinancialgrou]

I love it, the truth tells you all you need to know.
