Michael, I am probably going to kick myself and have others do it for me for keeping this thread alive but I have to comment on what you have presented.
1. With extremely limited exceptions, freedom of speech is extended to all Americans. Especially the ones I disagree with. It is not debatable. It is, to me, my true claim as an American citizen. I dont' have to like it another point of view. I am equally free to present information that disputes and or supports that point of view. I don't care if he got a Pro account or is trying to save some moolah, he has the right to present his message. And for the record, I am a straight-up Moonbat liberal leaning person who may have minor threads of libertarianism when it comes to giving money to for-profit corporations that f*cked themselves. 2. Blip.tv is a business. If the campaign paid for pro level usage I would not expect them to leave cash money on the table. Not in these times when other video web hosting & distribution companies are going dark. 3. There is passion. There is intolerance. It is getting hard to tell them apart. I understand what is being invoked by this extraordinary time in American history. Lies that are being presented as truth. Racism as a badge of honor. Sexism up the ying-yang and you can now pick multiple flavors of identity politics. One of the current gifts of vlogging now is to tell your truth and show your proof of how you can to your thoughts. Let me know when you posted that video, I'll watch. In this community you have to respect that not everyone is going to share your feelings. That is ok. Understand the context of the feedback. Freedom of speech, the right a business to choose who they do business with and a politician's right to use media to reach a target audience. Oh, and my equal right to challenge what I am being told. Peace and power to the (vlogging) people, Gena http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Michael Schaap" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It may sound silly but I am deeply disappointed in Blip.tv for allowing the McCain campaign > to use Blip's services.
