Pennsylvania bureaucrat tries to explain why citizens can't be heard at fracking hearing

[natasprotector]

@GilaTomster you can start by boycotting the internet because electricity is run by natural gas so please shut off your heat and power. thank you or you can just keep it on and we will keep drilling and providing with means to live everyday. your welcome

[natasprotector]

how did that write in campaign go LOL

[Bastranz]

Ladies and Gentlemen...that is what we call a FAIL...caught in a lie. The fail begins at 0:32. Gosh, he did act like a jerk, though.

[jreoli]

this professional needs another professional to tell him to ditch the condescension, he comes off as a db. and, i have no doubt she was correct. i know dana, she's legit. two sign up sheets is an old, old ploy, no conspiracy, just a ploy.

[jreoli]

this professional needs another professionat to tell him to ditch the condescension, he comes off as a douchebag. and, i have no doubt she was correct. i know dana, she's legit. two sign up sheets is an old, old ploy.

[RossoCarne]

Meh passion is one thing, but if someone is going to represent the voters of Pittsburgh and Allegheny county, I don't want them to be unprofessional like this. It's embarrassing really.

[pisspants13]

@RossoCarne You have the right to choose whoever you want, whether "professional" or not, but one could argue a bald face lie is more unprofessional than an activist who demands accountability for those lies. This professional was standing there telling a lie, and she called him out on that lie. Many people would call her the professional in this instance.

[RossoCarne]

@pisspants13 Bro, these things have rules for a reason. The same issues arose at the Allegheny county comissioners hearing. There are a lot of people who want to speak, but becasue they didn't sign up, there just isn't time. This is really a situation where the person who yells loudest seems right, but an upstanding, gentlemanly even, figurehead is much better than someone who yells half-truths.

[danadolney]

THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT WENT OUT TO VOTE! THERE WERE OVER A THOUSAND WRITE INS AND I AM SURE THE MAJORITY WERE ON THE SIDE OF A MORATORIUM ON DRILLING FOR PA! NOT BAD FOR A 24 HOUR CAMPAIGN THAT ONLY COST $11.00.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING! STAY TUNED. DANA

And please don't anyone feel the need to respond to the negative comments posted by people on this site about me; do not waste your time. Their ignorance speaks loud enough that we don't have to say anything. Our good speaks for itself.

[natasprotector]

@danadolney kind of like the ignorance you portray in this video.

[dalex1]

Obvious youtube troll is obvious.

[expatted]

Brains are a real turn on!!!

[ger6111]

@expatted i can say i took her as my date 2 prom!!! love her!

[cardcreekdesign]

Bunch of my friends wrote you in today Dana. May not win, but I sure as hell hope they can be scared enough to STOP GAMING THE SYSTEM!!!!

[getplaning]

Here's a conspiracy theory--

The list that was signed by opponents of fracking was given to the FBI so that investigations could be opened on them.

Sound far-fetched? Nope.

[pisspants13]

VOTE FOR DANA DOLNEY! Write-in candidate for County Executive. The candidates on the ballot intend to do the bidding of industry and not the bidding the people that elect them. Dana has tirelessly volunteered to work against the drilling industry for the health and safety of the people.

[22redshimmy]

Dana Dolney for County Executive!!! You won my vote!!!

[dnalansky]

DANA DOLNEY...YOU HAVE MY VOTE!!! I am so impressed with how calm you are in the face of this moron. We need your voice. Keep fighting the good fight. I, for one, don't want to turn on my water faucet one morning, and have that water contaminated by gas or waste water from fracking. The gas industry and their puppets are only motivated by greed, with a total disregard for the health consequences of their actions. Rock on, sister! VOTE DANA DOLNEY!!!

[yunzers]

She is now running for Allegheny County Executive......we have made her a write in candidate for tomorrows primary election in Allegheny County PA!!! Run Dana run

[jdector53]

seriously, it's obvious this piece of shit is lying his ass off even before she shows up

[natasprotector]

that lady is a whack job i ve seen her speak at these hearings before, its a shame too beacuse she is very attractive.

[artvandelay3911]

@natasprotector Don't attack the messenger.

[natasprotector]

@artvandelay3911 you might want to tell that to the lady who freaks out in this video, she attacks the messenger but you are on her side, hippocrit

[artvandelay3911]

@natasprotector No, she was pointing out the lies, that's different. Youtube has an automatic spellchecker. Hippocrit? Wow, you weren't even close! Hypocrite. Must be from that conservative private high school education. Anyone who has a public education would have got that one right.

[pisspants13]

@natasprotector People like you are incapable of intelligent debate. You resort back to a kindergarten mentality of calling someone names when they out smart you. Your comments were a waste of your time, and anyone's who unfortunate enough to read them. You are pathetic for thinking anyone would take you serious, and even more pathetic if you actually take yourself seriously.

[natasprotector]

@pisspants13 serious enough for you to send a response, duh doh duh doh pass the paste would ya, i wanna finish my finger painting, wait maybe there is frac chemicals in the paste omg stop all the kindergarten in america frac water got in the paste, run for the hills! on no they re drilling on the hills too....eeek

[pisspants13]

@natasprotector You act like you're making a joke, but I think this is all you are intellectually capable of. I guess a witty retort is beyond your comprehension and ability. Hell, you probably had a 7 year old write this since the verbiage used far outreaches your academic level..

[natasprotector]

@pisspants13 actually she was a 6 year old, got glitter all over my lab top. "verbiage" good job on working in that word of the day callender. kudos professor. all this rhetoric from a person who calls themselves pisspants13, yep you are really making me wither away. in the words of charlie sheen WINNING

[BradRapstars]

@natasprotector Quoting Charlie Sheen is a good sign that you are, in fact, not "winning" shit.

Also lol at someone with a name like "natasprotector" making fun of anyone else's name.

[natasprotector]

@BradRapstars look at the big balls on Brad. dont be upset you are not winning, you to one day will have tiger blood in you. keep dreaming lil buddy

[BradRapstars]

@natasprotector I appreciate the praise for my balls, but this is neither the time nor the place for such an intimate conversation.

Also p. sure you don't have tiger blood in you, but you probably wish you had Tiger Woods in you.

[natasprotector]

@BradRapstars WINNING

[pisspants13]

@natasprotector Name is a Garbage Pail Kids reference, but I don't expect you to get it. The girl that "freaked out" is recovering from a battle with metastatic breast cancer. She volunteers her free time making sure others never have to go through what she has. Drilling operations are contaminating water with known carcinogens. I'm done wasting my time on you. I will be out protesting and confronting officials. You'll just be here on YouTube chastising those that are fighting for your health

[natasprotector]

@pisspants13 i still have my garbage pail kid cards so yes i do get it, i am not nearly as young as you assume. I have seen this ladies so called testimony in person, and still dont see how her cancer has anything to do with energy independence. She lives in polish hill, her house uses natural gas, the gas americans work hard for everyday so you can go out and protest. have fun confronting officials, there is a reason they sit inside while you protest outside. Please fight for my health,

[natasprotector]

@pisspants13 I will be out here fighting for the energy it takes so you can get this health care, hospitals are not run on hope and love alone. they are fueled by burning natural gas.

[artvandelay3911]

@natasprotector So I suppose you meant to write it that way. You know the old saying, children should be seen and not heard.

[natasprotector]

@artvandelay3911 i guess you will never be my latex salesman

[danadolney]

@natasprotector Well sir, if whack job means that I am the opposite of what you stand for then I will take that as a compliment. Your only postings on your page is of tits and ass and I assume that is about all that you can handle in a woman: pictures and videos that can't talk back.

I will gladly debate you in public any day and let the masses decide just who the "whack job" really is.

[natasprotector]

@danadolney no whack job means, you have no respect for other people, and their opinions you are convinced that whatever you say is right, there is no talking/debating with people like you, you are a flat earth believer, even if someone sailed you around the world, you would still believe that it was flat, the same goes for your views on hydraulic fracturing! and you have no sense of humor if you judge someone because of their video likes on web site profile, this also proves my pt up a degree

[cardcreekdesign]

@natasprotector Looking at your Youtube profile, the only whack in this whole discussion is you. Why don't you go back to your basement and keep whacking off, pervert. The adults are having a conversation.

[natasprotector]

@cardcreekdesign hahaha that was you last night watching me in my basement, did you like how i let you watch for a lil bit! what was your favorite part when i broke out the cucumber or when pulled the shampoo bottle out of my

[cardcreekdesign]

@natasprotector  Whatever floats your boat son. Just, please, stop exposing yourself in public.

[natasprotector]

@cardcreekdesign son, i am a girl. and ill stop doing it when you stop watching!

[eisforoiler]

I hope that fat lying fuck gets his ass fracked

[TheBetty1949]

He's was lying through his teeth right in front of the camera. He got caught and looked very sheepish. How can these people sleep at night??

[RP4409]

She slapped his ass DOWN to the ground...LMFAO

[bobziller]

His face turned pretty red after that spanking ...

[amguate]

Chad Sailor should be fired. If my "communications director" took interviews with that attitude and tone of voice I would find someone better suited for the job.

[Danrt2]

Wait until they start developing the Utica formation, which sits beneath the Marcellus formation. It's deeper, more dense, and will likely require much more water in order to develop.

[Danrt2]

In other words, they pump a crap-load of water (4.5 million gallons per frac stage, plus another 500,000 gallons to drill the well initially) down into a well in order to fracture the geological formation known as (in PA) Marcellus shale. The water the companies are using contains a bevy of chemicals that make up between 1-3% of the total fluids used. Once the formation is effectively fracked, natural gas (methane and other tailings) is released.

[estlacksensory]

Another schmuck in a suit. Perhaps the guy would like some bottled "water" to drink. Finally someone refers to the woman as a "citizen" and not a "consumer". Standing up and speaking the truth is what "citizens" do.

[jigen08]

Kudos to her for telling the smarmy lackey what's what.

The only exception I have is to the word 'fracking; in the title. This is not Battlestar Galactica, this is real life. We say 'fucking', on Earth and in reality. It's not a bad word. There are no bad words, only bad deeds.

[danadolney]

@jigen08 frack is in reference to the drilling technique known as horizontal slick water hydro-fracking.

fracking for short.

[MDM781]

@jigen08 Fracking is short for fracture (a technique to obtain gases underground), not an alternative to fucking, its what the protesters are protesting, for good reason.

[sleepcity]

THAT woman for Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania!

[the82spartans]

What the frack is going on here?

[NinjaStarODavid]

What. An.  Asshole.

[expatted]

Goddess!!! This woman is superb.

[BenkaiDebussy]

@letom82 "their" "does'nt" (makes run-on sentence) "using Palin, and Limbaugh" (another run-on sentence) "were'nt" "on the radio, and T.V." "would'nt" (run-on sentence) "should'nt"

Between this and not understanding his pretty obvious sarcasm, I wouldn't be insulting other people.

(I apologize sincerely if English isn't your first language)

[1Guitarslayer]

@letom82 I was being facetious moron, hows it feel when someone is trying to make a point and they are called a racist?

dipshit, fuck off!

[1Guitarslayer]

she must be a racist

[napperfat]

Fat and smarmy vs. trim and informed.

[pugachev1]

Well Done Dana!!!

[SuperContinuum]

God Lord . . . this guy came off as a giant ass from his first statement . . . and notice how his face turns beet red when he is confronted with the truth by the woman.

[canipanic]

i love this woman !!! she is inspirational....speak the truth .. call out the liars...the moment they lie.. don't let the lies get any legs !!! please everyone reading this, pass this video around,we need more people like her

[andotech]

Does that piece of shit in the video remind anybody else of Brandt from The Big Lebowski??

[MyMotherTheCar]

This should be required viewing for anyone who wants to fight injustice. 

[Dacktyl]

Someone should make that fat bastard drink a nice big tall glass of fracked water.

[PAprogressive]

Why can't we embed this video?

[johnlal]

Brava! I'm not from Pennsylvania, and I don't have a dog in this fight, but damn, that was fun to watch.

[artvandelay3911]

AS a Pennsylvanian I voted against Corbett because I saw this bullshit coming. To my fellow Pennsylvanians who voted for Corbett all I can say is, you're all a bunch of fucking morons.

[jdector53]

@artvandelay3911

i hope corbett is assassinated this evening, but the onoratos and fitzgeralds aren't much better on this issue

[JavaScriptMachine]

You are not alone. Idiot Political Shrills are everywhere. -

That's The Absolute Truth.

That's Called Fact.

[mikefu999]

Fabulous - well spoken, factual, accurate and on topic! this lady needs a post as spokesperson for the group!

[expatted]

Please let this video go viral.

[BradyDale]

@expatted It's looking like it might! Over night, it has 7X more views than it did when I went to bed!

[expatted]

I love this woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[expatted]

Way to go anonymous, well-spoken, concise, wonderful heroine.

Dough boy-- have another doughnut and STFU.

[MonsterSound]

Damn she is good. Articulate, calm and right on strong. Hey, Rachel M, there is a good interview here.

p.s. thnX for posting this vid.

[harmfulguy]

I love how the spokesdroid just makes himself look like even more of a tucking fool by blowing off the citizen's concerns as a "conspiracy".

[punktildeath69]

this woman is my herione

[booksnbytes]

this is spectacular - that woman was calm, collected, and matter-of-fact. Perfect way to handle this. I have sent it to my representatives, shared it across Facebook, and even sent to Colbert, Stewart, and even Coco.

We just had a huge spill in Northern Pennsylvania where thousands of gallons of fracking fluid polluted farms, a creek - 7 families were evacuated.

[Shamborn]

I want to marry this woman. FIESTY!!

[twistfinger]

That woman is awesome. Correction: AWESOME.

[JosephChrist]

Woah. She's hot as fuck.

[onlymikey]

@Anonymous35733 Stole my comment right from under my, Anon. Big new hero of mine right here.

[wardropper]

God bless Americans like this one.

Common sense, a passion for justice and excellent language skills.

This video ought to go viral, to remind the rest of the thinking population of America that they are not alone...

[maxx1000]

There is a reason why Chad Sailor is an ass, "... Oh, public comment".

[dmarcoot]

what a dick he is

[fullerjohn1119]

Excellent! Expose the weasels! Conspiracy??? Too funny.

[BradyDale]

WHYY's Dave Davies put this on his blog. Very cool.

[soopercali]

Right on! Way to put that weasel in his place....

[BradyDale]

At first I was kind of annoyed with her for interrupting someone else's video, but this was great. She was on point. What a cordial and clear confrontation. Sailor comes off like he was caught stealing extra slices of cake at church camp.

[CleanWaterActionPA]

I am really impressed by how calmly and clearly she explains the trick the Corbett team pulled on the protesters.

[kyttikhat]

I'm glad our government is running smooth, fair, and unbiasedly. OH wait that was another planet... Note to self, remember that the corporations pull the strings now.

[ran15206]

"That's not conspiracy, that's called fact. "  Ahh Miss Dana you are awesome. Do you see how red the dude turns when she comes back around the corner?

[ChezKiva]

How much do you figure the Government pays this man to be a chump for the foreign Oil & Gas industry?

"You're fired!"

[jrbrookshorn]

100% truth. Security wouldn't let us in to even sign up for speaking. It was against the "fire code"

[marthal118]

Why should we be surprised. It's there little club, they want to protect their interests and they will find any way to do it. They know no shame.

[mckflipflop]

I love her and he is perfect proof
