YouTube Mania
Opinion: by Bill Payne, on Jul 24, 2007
While ABCNews grandly proclaimed “YouTube debate brings politics to people” and CNN claims that “YouTube video makes it harder for candidates to control the political debate”, I had to wonder if our country might be heading into something far more ominous than the illegal immigration Amnesty debacle and the current mess in Iraq.
For example, CNN reported that 3,000 questions were submitted for the recent “debate”, and of those 3,000 only 39 questions were actually asked of the candidates. So, who do you suppose determined which questions were asked? If you say it was the corporate owners of YouTube (Google), you are right on the mark.
I don’t now about you, but in my mind the idea of outfits like YouTube and its Google masters having anything at all to do with American politics is not only ludicrous, it is scary as hell. While we do need a new and independent party to oppose the decadent and self serving Republican and Democratic hyenas currently in power, nothing would be worse than having YouTube or Google involved.
One has only to look at the questions that were approved to be asked of the Democratic candidates by the YouTube staff to realize the ultra liberal, new world order type of inane thinking that prodominates both of these organizations. While YouTube admittedly does give a voice to many who would otherwise have no voice, their benefit to the country ends right there.
That YouTube “voice” is not always beneficial, either. Consider the fact that Sen. George Allen lost an election largely due to YouTube’s publication of his politically incorrect use of the word “Macaca”. Regardless of where you stand on political correctness, neither the utterance of one word nor YouTube’s promotion of the word should define the outcome of any American election.
The highly touted YouTube political debate was nothing more than a shabby sham by the liberal factions in control of Google, YouTube and the Demeocratic party, in my opinon. While CNN’s website headlined “The YouTube-ification of politics: Candidates losing control”, the truth is that the American public is in danger of losing control through the deceptions put forth by this liberal coalition.
There are indeed some good people and good videos on YouTube, but it must be noted that despite that fact, both YouTube and Google are definitely in the camps of the New World Order bunch and the liberal non-thinkers, and in the case of Google, apparently somewhat Anti-American to boot. Did I forget to say that they are also part and parcel of Red China’s efforts to suppress and hide truth from its people?
The last thing we need is for this irrational and nonsensical political charade from the left wing to have any influence or any part in our national political system. I believe that the younger generation is bright enough to see through the attempt at political manipulation by the backers of this thing, and I fervently hope the rest of us are, too.
