  • I am surprised that my video :- ?? has been removed as the content was only consisting of light humour. It seems that it is ok to broadcast actual death, torture and morbid atrocities but to broadcast light humour has been censored in my case! Whatever happened to free speech and democracy. the content of my video was lesser than the Sun newspaper publishes on a daily basis. I might add that all pictures published were infact pasted from google in the first place???

  • Why don't more politicians do personal videos on youtube!

  • Comment removed

  • umg like i understand u and it is hard i tryed to send letter but didnt no one get back there needs to be something done about it they can keep up with the money but cant keep upwith htere selves or bussness but i am having a rasim issue and i am getting realy mad cause they r not responding

  • Sorry but Im afriad like many other users You Tube is now becoming too big for its own boots.Lots of people would love to complain about lots of issues,but guess what.You can never reach the person/s to speak or talk to anybody...strange? Thats because they dont want too!

  • how can i complain to youtube? because a user has been harassing me and i reported him and he didn't got removed and i want to put a complain does anyone know how to put a complain reply me if anyone here knows

  • @cocoadile

    just block user

    on his channel

  • How do i send a message to youtube via the contact us page when like every other org they seem to want to redirect you to a help page or faq page like a politician who wants to be in control. Are parents now setting up faqs for their kids so their kids do not ask awkward questions of them? I am a kid of youtube even at 54 and if I cannot ask a question faq off.

  • @cu16855 I suppose you could write them a letter of inquiry like I did, and then they will just ignore it, even though I have an account with Google and am a paying customer. They don't answer their phones either. Almost like our politicians, ha

  • "OMG FUNNY" I agree with you radiobbc1

    The "candidate" is a fucking footnote

    Its hilarious

    "official complaint" - lmao

    "i dont think i deserve to be a footnote" - hahahaha too fucking funny

    "i am a candidate" - lol

    "making a footnote out of me" - like its making a fool out of him

    "ive not withdrawn" - thats your only form of contraceptive aint it Gravel

    You should be a fucking comedian & give up politics with that video, i cant stop laughing

    FOOTNOTES FTW.

  • OMG FUNNY XXX.

  • There isn't a decent voting person in the United States of America that can disagree with what Ron Paul is saying.

    He Wants to fix the Country not jeopardize its safety. America is hated in the middle east because those people think the US public overwhelmingly vote for puppets like Bush and Clinton while they rape the world of financial resources.

    The day will come when the press will be free to report the common persons perspective and when that happens the world will be surprised.

    Peace

  • RON PAUL IS AWESOME.

  • fuck youtube

  • why the hell are you saying "fuck youtube"? you apparently have an account and are apparently active on it so why in the hell are you saying "fuck youtube"?

  • Google dominates the internet in any search capacity. Even if you choose another search engine, it will be powered by.......yep , you guessed it......Google! Guess who owns youtube? Google! And since google owns youtube, all roads lead to?????

  • hey guess what, Fuck youtube

  • how?

  • youtube is total bull I have videos that are completely origional and they muted them because there is 8 secnds of 1985 by bowling with soup at the beginning. THAT IS NOT A COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT!!! 8 seconds is UNDER 10% of the song (which is 3:16) so IT IS LEGAL. youtube, please umute my video

  • this is probably the wrong spot to leave requests to fix your video... but its a start!

  • @Sim1Superstar Late but relevant answer to this: NO, YOU CANT STEEL OR BORROW ANY SECONDS FROM SOME ONE ELSES WORK!!

    Get it! The "8 second rule" is some urban myth-bullshit. It is NOT legal.

    If all you kids could just get that shit out of your system, thank you.

    Dont believe me!? Go check out the copyright laws AND the right to artistic & creative works.

    Why not just make your own music and sound FX? It´s more fun and then it is ALL yours. :)

  • The most popular video on You Tube

    Paul Potts 1st audition with 41 million views has been removed.

    Please put it back.

  • ron f t w !

  • u rock bro if i was a american i would vote 4 u

  • Fucking YoutUbe! Biased asses

  • First of all, I'd like to say; we should grow up and stop the name calling and respect each other. I'm a Ron Paul supporter or a "paultard" as some mature individuals may call me, but I agree with Gravel 100% here. I think it's key that ALL candidates get the same coverage from mainstream media to mainstream internet sites like youtube.

  • yeah im sorry im getting help now for my anger i actually really like this guy now! =)

  • Rage much, ravioli?

  • No one cares? thats why theres 30,000 views? I'm curious how your logic works.

  • retard alert

  • Man you are dumb.

  • if nobody cares why the fuck did you watch it

  • Maybe because the title does not not specify in no way the content of the video? "A Complaint Against YouTube" could be anything from bad video quality to politician rankings.

    I do care about this video, but the person who doesn't care isn't dumb at all, the dumb one here is nebster93.

  • take a look at the page now. It shows it like it was near the end of the election.

    They do show 2 3rd party candidates, and Ron Pauls channel

    BUT

    they make clear to title them "politicians to watch" not presidential candidates, 3rd party choices, etc...

    its a shame...

  • Totally agree with LVarosS...Youtube IS a Private business...But I guess everyone still searching for "democracy" in America knows it...Don't you America?

  • ATTENTION MORNONS:

    (ie. LVarosS) Youtube is intended to be a public forum for people to share media of all varieties. To be selective would sever it's root purpose.

    You are a fool DIAF

  • strong point

  • Yeah, you god damn mornons

  • i agree with n00bMonkel but i also think hes bein a sissy bitch bcuz seriously its not a big deal i mean why are you wasting your time fighting against such stupid stuff if your really worried about the way things are then get up off ur lazy ass and do somethin about it

  • hahah and the libertarian wonder why the people think there ideology is back wards.

  • ron and mike were the 2 best representatives of their respective parties.

    i sit here, hours before the final result, still wondering what could have been...

  • you or ron paul would have been a better choice than these two clowns

  • History is always rewritten by the winners. In this case the Zionist backed USA and UK. Not only on political level, but there were numerous banks and corporations that blatantly supported Hitler even during the war. IG Farben for example. Of which the president went to Jail and later came up with the idea of the codex allimentarius. Which will be implemented in 2009, and will erase all rights regarding food. Vitamins will be the same as hard drugs. And we thought we learned a lesson from WW2...

  • I'm also a candidate who doesn't deserve to win and has next to no chance. But I'm not lodging complaints. What a unitard.

  • I am not give fuck since I not live in USA. But, I am hear bad things about Mccain. He old, and 2ndly, he has no exp.

  • Mccain is an asshole! With him in power will bring bad shit to the US. Thank God, I am live in Ukraine where we have better politics.

    But, I am hope that American people vote OBAMA.

  • you say that you live in ukraine with better politics, and yet you don't know enough about politics to realize that obama is the one that would destroy the united states. really, do you think that socialism is actually a good thing?

  • Yes, I do. Its communism I hate, but socialism has never been tried as I am all for Obama, as he will bring peace to world, as well to Ukraine in foregin relations.

    MCCAIN is asshole! Nazi!

  • haha socialism is ONE step below communism. the only difference between the two is that communism is when the government gets rid of RELIGION. that is the only difference. and socialism has never been tried? do they not teach you these things in school? they don't tell you of the nations that are ALREADY socialists? and it's quite funny how you call mccain a nazi, when its your precious obama who wants to lead the united states down that road.

  • The best way is a way through the middle of capitalism and socialism. Both have a lot of advantages and we should find a way to use both advantages and get rid of the disadvantages.

    This whole rightwing leftwing debate is pointless anyway, as it is usually done by people who have no understanding of things, and just listen to the tube for reference.

  • first of all your idea, although a good one, wouldn't work. and second of all, it could never legally happen, since it's against the constitution. all socialism is equality, and even though i may sound evil, but full equality is NOT good for a nation. it's the weak and the lazy people who are fighting for socialism in the US because they don't want to get off of welfare and would gladly accept obama's redistibution of wealth.

  • In every humane society you always have to look out for the disabled, impoverished and otherwise weaker elements. You can't just say tough luck to someone that lost their house to the bank, and has to life of garbage. this has nothing to do with socialism or capitalism, but humanism.

  • not once did i mention the disabled, don't attack me for something i didn't say. but to the people who lost their houses, it's they're own fault! a lot of these people knew they couldn't afford their houses and yet they run off and get a loan thinking that nothing is going to change and everything is alright.but the banks should have been more strict about who they lend out to and now they're paying the consequences.

  • Relax, it wasn't intended to be a personal attack. I mainly agree with you actually.

    My biggest point is, that when 90% of the people talk about politics, the first sentence always contains the word left or right. And the whole left/right paradigm is total bullshit. In Holland they are branding pretty social politicians as right wing, because it suits their agenda.

  • Actually there have never been any countries that have been properly communist. Russia was not really communist but operated under the guise of communism. There are no true socailist states but countires that are close to it prosper i.e. Britian and france and modern day germany which is becoming more socialist. And as for destroying the usa i dont think any one would care once the economy recovered its the usa thats sought to destroy the rest of the world with there aggressive foreign policy

  • Stop the war and smoking and GO OBAMA

  • youre not a candidate!! youre a joke!

  • And you're a fool.

  • lol

  • waaah im not next to the other candidates!! waaaahhhh

  • Ballsacks.

  • Stop the WAR ON DRUGS that it.Why so much hoopla.Stop the War on Drugs and lets deal with it as a Public Health problem.Syrenge exchange makes sense.

  • Yeah, and look what he did for Germany. They wouldn't have survived as a country without him.

    Know who else was good at leadership? Winston Churchill, JFK, Bill Clinton, Jesus Christ, and Salahadin. Skill at leadership has no bearing on the rightness of an ideology or the quality of a person, so don't imply that all great leaders are the same as Hitler.

  • Churchill was the one that blew of the peacetalks with Hitler. He was the one that decided to kill thousands of innocent civilians, when Hitler proposed only to bomb military targets. Get your facts right! Churchill was backed by the same movements that backed Hitlers political campaign in Germany. Namely the ZIONISTS! Yes, also a conveniently forgotten fact of WW2. Hitler even proposed to let all jews life if the zionists would cough up some money, which they refused.

  • I am leaving the US and so should you. The stock market will crash this year! You all need to leave while your dollars can still buy plane tickets!

  • Sad, hate to be bailing on the states but the states collectively has bailed on us, the constitution, freedom, air water & food are no longer clean. US is no longer golden child in eyes of the world we are now the World Police, BIG BROTHER, the very perpitrator, invader,rapist, robber, thief. Torture secret tribunals riot police,unpatriot acts this is not who we the people are, however in our standing idly by we in our duplicity have blood on our hands too & it must stop. See David Icke video

  • At last an American who can see the US as the rest of the world does. Iraq, Then Iran, its aims in Poland. It is trying to surround Russia and grab a hold of middle eastern oil. It would seem that world domination is its aim. No wonder Russia is retreating back to communism. The only way to hold the US back is to aquire a nuclear capacity. I live in the UK and thankfully that bastard Blair has gone. Now hopefully we can have better relations with other nations. Can you after Bush goes.

  • So you are under the illusion Brown, Obama and McCain are any better? Brown has openly spoken out in favour of the New World Order. Obama and McCain have pretty much the same policy on privacy and warmongering as Bush.

  • Brown, on the new world order. Where did you read that. And what new world order. We need a new world order alright. One where every nation looks inward and sorts its own problems out rather than putting thier noses in others affairs.

  • And you think an even more centralised government would achieve that? It's the whole gang that was running the whole mess to begin with we have to put our faith in?

    Wishing it, won't make it so I'm afraid.

  • And to add to the on comming problem is you are now not able to make a comment on Obama, what kinda BS, is this

  • this is the problem with actually having integrity, if you can't get the cash levels that big corporations provide to candidates, its a hard road.

    i guess we'll have to wait for a self-made billionaire with Gravel's point of view.

  • Well youtube is owned by google, so it was to be expected...

  • its fukng sad he has the best plan for this country...man i just wish he could win..but we all know he can't win..cause of this screwed up country

  • Some of my videos are finally getting some hits till they start to take of hits to their limit line that was programmed by the controlled youtube "free" service Dennis was good to but Ron Paul is the best and the only one and he does not need media because people will learn soon after big mess starts...

  • What's a decent alternative to youtube? I'm sick of this corporate puppetry. I like how they think that they can "guide" the opinion of the public. Obama, McCain, they're nothing but marionettes for big money.

  • Gravel and Paul should make a ticket.

  • well i aint to sure of this vlog.but i can say youtube as shown, know what there doing,like a poet at heart.eyes of a diamond,rainbow flavor.

  • I'm writing ron paul in, unless he endorses baldwin or barr. nader is too big government.

  • Choice - It's just a made up word. A politician's word, so people like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. So you go ahead there sonny and keep pointing at only one side of the coin.

  • ThemTube

  • Your not a real libertarian, Mike. Stay with the Democrats, stick with your own kind.

  • You Tube is private property. They can choose to do what they want with it. It is not censorship if they choose to remove videos or anything else on their site. Only government can censor things because they can use force to prevent you from seeing it. Maybe you don't like You Tube's choices but don't call them censors.

  • how can the goverment censor things on the internet if the internet belongs to everyone on the earth who owns a computer?

  • Gov't cannot censor the internet though google for 'great firewall of china' to see how it can try. In one sense it can censor the internet because it could make it illegal for you to visit particular websites. Then it could force ISP companies to monitor who is accessing those web sites and arrest people.

  • Please research the topic of Internet Neutrality.

  • Ralph Nader belongs on the page. A recent AP poll shows Nader has 6% of the vote.

  • just do what everyone else is doing and move to livevideoDOTcom. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better! They don't respond to emails anyway at YT. They suck!

  • just do what everyone else is doing and move to livevideoDOTcom. YT can have their censorship, sex and nascar videos and their suppression of free speech. Two months more and all they will have left is perverts and imbeciles... power to the people...

  • I have never lost my freedom of speech hmmm maybe that is why they block me when I don't always agree. There is always one that has to control someone sigh I think it stinks as we should be free to say what we want to say.

  • Why have they done so?

    Perhaps these two have a real message and are not just proliferating the idiocy mainstream Zeitgeist!

  • A webcam Mike? A WEBCAM?

  • Fair, Ha, don't make me laugh! This is aMERICA we're talking about. You're all cattle.

    What's next you ask? The N.A.U (north american union) and the amero are just around the corner. We're all fucked.

    "You control the money, you control the world."

  • Because we will all loose your freedom. It may sound good but the idea is to control the world.

    These guys are mad!

  • Government should not force steve grove to be fair. Leave that to me!

  • Ok follow the trace of the money. "who owns youtube?". The answer lies there.

  • pual 08

  • Proof if you ever needed one that the whole "we're not Evil" Google tagline is just a load of crap.

    When you think about how much control over information we let Google have over the last few years... We dug our own graves I guess.

    Truly appalling...

  • thank you MIKE GRAVEL for this video. Ive emailed youtube several times about omitting you and Ron Paul from their page. No answer! Thanks again.

  • my god, i'd no idea he was still running!

    shame on youtube!!

  • Turn off your televisions, and call out liars when they lie, or nothing is going to ever change.

  • MIKE GRAVEL 4 PRESIDENT!!!

    MASS DONATION DAY for MIKE GRAVEL is 5/13 (MIKE'S B-DAY!!)

    EVERYONE THAT CAN, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE and

    SPREAD THE WORD!!!

  • Wow, that's very disappointing.

  • there are very few sane and rational people on this earth. the rest disregard the value of life, the value of true freedom. people are too corrupt and greedy, driven by $ alone. if mike gravel could attain presidency, we would see dramatic change, positive dramatic change. ANYone else, and it would be business as usual. are people really happy with the way things are?

  • Those who would disagree with Mr Gravel simply show how ignorant they are.

    What an act of cowardice youtube has shown here Traitors.

  • I do not agree with Mike Gravel on many issues. If you are refering to this video particular video, I agree full-heartedly. No candidate should be swept into the dust bin before the race ends.

  • It's funny how Kucinich and Gravel both have more subs than McCain.

  • The point is, do not do as they do not exist. I know a lot of people who appreciate Paul's views, and just for that his actions and policies should be as available as well others.

    Same thing for senator Gravel. The worse is actually the small amount of time that these candidates were given in the CNN and Fox debates, where they were invited and legitimate speakers. Sometimes I think that the western democracy begins to suck hard, don't you?

  • I don't think I'd vote for ron paul even IF he was still on the ballot, but I defend his right to be pissed of for being removed. or I would, except he was probably removed because he didn't have many votes. as for this other guy, I never even heard of him- oh well, better luck in 2012.

  • Mike would get my vote if I were an American.

  • they can not stop us from exchanging ideas, and the TRUTH!

  • Oh, you think not! Look up "The Thought Crime Bill HR 1599." Seriously it up! Everyone!

  • Internet traffic does not constitute interest.

  • Actually yes it does. Fail.

  • Mike Gravel and Ron Paul have generated more interest, comments and videos than all of the current candidates and former candidates COMBINED.

    I find it interesting that Youtube has chosen to ignore Gravel and Paul, in light of the tremendous traffic these two guys have created for Youtube.

    Youtube should be sending these guys royalty checks.

  • Who are ya?

  • who?

  • Hey Mr.Senator, if you get to be the top man over there in the good ole us of a, you could go to war against youtube, remove their freedoms & call it Iraq2 ;))))

  • What a pathetic arguement - next time try and come up with something constructive rather than an inept rant. Are you still at school or something, as you talk like an ignorant and angry teenager. Iraq has nothing to do with the subject matter of this video, and your decision to bring it up only serves to illustrate your stupidity, and that's coming from someone who thinks Iraq should never have been invaded.

  • There was a time here in Canada, and probably in all democratic countries, when equal time was the operating priciple in media treatment of political candidates. Moneid candidates can buy whatever TV time they want; but media sponsored debates were required to give equal time to all candidates. This ensured that the public would be able to hear points of view that they might not otherwise have known about. I do not know if it was a law. Those days are long gone.

  • Bring Mike Gravel back to the front page. Money should not run this race. All the other candites are idoits and I will be voting for you Mike.

  • God i wish a I would see a Paul/Gravel ticket ... it would be like the anti-bush-cheney.

  • YOUTUBE IS NOTHING BUT A CORPORATE/MICROSOFT SPY. Having said that, there's no better way to communicate at the moment.

  • Undoubtedly, ErikTekno. YT might be a machine but god damn, is it the best mass video communication method available worldwide!

  • Agreed, it is the best but by that very definition, corruptible.A brief look at what youtube did during the current elections is enough to confirm that as fact. Peace.

  • what are you talking about? Mike Gravel is STILL a candidate. YouTube should not hide the truth.

  • Did you read what I suggested?

  • yes, but YOU are missing the point of this vid, and YouTube's assinine censorship!

  • erm, whats he talking about?

  • How they removed 2 presidentail cantidates infringing the 1st ammendment.

  • hahaha you have no idea what the 1st ammendment is, you idiot

  • Unfortunately, since YouTube isn't publically owned, they do have the right to make up their own rules, even if they offend people. Mike Gravel is probably one of the ONLY voices of reason in this silly campaign, so I'm not at ALL for him being silenced, but there's not much we can do, other than to complain. They're about as likely to listen to the will of the people as Bush is.

  • YouTube is making mistakes, again.

  • i think they took him off cause they know he's right and deserves to be known just as well as all the other candidates

  • they STILL have not even responded to this complaint? youTube YouChoose is a joke, or more exactly a shame and a farce.

    c'mon YouTube, put up the other candidates... how many buttons do you have to push to make things right?

  • this guy has a lot to say, this was quite fascinating actually, this man had the guts(balls) to stand up 4 himself

    and his coffee

    ya no homie

    jks

  • I never really gave it much thought, but it really does make sense that youtube finnaly got recognized as a profitable entitiy and bought out and will most likely become another tool in the political machine. Political machines are sought to be gone, but did they just get more stealthier? (I don't lnow this is pure speculation, any comments?)

  • Silly MoneyTube...

  • It's about Oil wars

  • Hmm.... it seems to sum up the slide of American society when you have presidential candidates on YouTube, I understand the reasons for it but it just seems... so undignified. Sounds like a David Cameron idea. But, by this message it just admit that you are exploiting YouTube for voters not intending to have a bond with the public (even if that is a strategic idea).

    and YouTube is silent on this issue.

    what a joke that youChoose page is!

    how many YT buttons does it take to censor the truth?

  • pundit. americANT!

    the TRUTH is not being told by YouTube. what a shame... they had such a bright future.

    ripYtube!

  • Youtube will you free us or enslave us further. Both parties are seeing their bases destabalized. The republicans pretend there is no Ron Paul uproar, but we elected 2 of 3 national delegates in SD 6 MN. and Obama Hillary is just as represivly corrupted. People are talking to people on the base level. Youtube facilitates it but we see its shortcomings. Its your loss when you just leave to a better freer more american media outlet.

  • I am upset enough with the "choices" we have been left with. This is a sham and a shamed election and there is no truth in anything the Mainline candidates are speaking.

    I don't think the suppression groups are helping the USA one tiny bit.

  • Hello Mike.

  • All candidates have a right to be heard in a free society. Democracy can be messy and disorganized sometimes. That's its beauty and strength. Fascist and Communist dictatorships...now, they have nice, squeaky-clean, discord-free elections. Their media outlets can playfully pick and choose exactly who is heard.

  • sounds just like youtube's youChoose page!

  • YouTube is privately owned and can choose not to give him a special link on the you choose page to his channel.

  • I think its hypocritical for a LIBERTARIAN to try to complain about the PRIVATE decision of a PRIVATELY owned company don't you think... Hmmmmmmmmm... maybe libertarianism may not be all that good and classical liberalism may have its merits...

  • If Mike Gravel, Obama, or Ron Paul, doesn't win the election I will kill myself.

  • Sorry I meant Mike Gravel should become president and fix America.. Obama cannot do it.. and Ron Paul won't get voted in. I'd kill myself if I was an American and Hillary or McCain were elected... that or move.

  • woe, you really softened up... first kill yourself... hmmmm... then move... bit of a difference... You gonna blow yourself up or get a new apartment...? which is it... make up your mind.

  • FUCK OBAMA HE WILL RUIN THIS COUNTRY!

  • YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!

  • mate when bush got into power he fucked the world up obama will just keep it going

  • indeed

  • thinkigiveshit, why would you kill your self. hopefully your just joking but if not. Rethink that choice please.

  • La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo

  • It really annoys me you are not on that page. If you were not running, I would not even vote.

  • Um, I can't find you anywhere on the candidate page...not even a footnote...why!?? How could they just take you off the page like that? If I lived in the US and was the right age I'd vote for you
