Can't believe we're actually having a conversation on this list about censoring a political campaign. If they're doing something illegal, report it. If you don't like their tone or the content, write a coherent reply.
My response was the same as Daniel's: leave comments on Blip. When McCain published his The One video, which I thought was pushing buttons with the fundamentalists who believe Obama is the anti- Christ, I left a comment on Blip. YouTube is a wasteland of adolescent hatred and anger. I'm sure nobody actually listens to anything that's written there except other YouTube commenters, who appear to be the scum of the earth. Whereas there are hardly any comments at Blip, so your voice and reasoned argument will be heard much better. Although if your voice is saying that someone else shouldn't have the right to say what they're saying, you shouldn't complain when your own comment is deleted. Do we really need to trot out the argument for free speech? Crikey.
