Google rocks. Just don't click on the sponsored links to the right and above. That's how they make their money.

I'm getting annoyed with Google. Anyone have any recommendations for alternatives?

I predicted that goog would take it down. It told the truth.
In today's PC-dominated USA, You Must Never Say Who Is Responsible For Terrorism.

So is there anywhere lese the good video is posted? And did Google give a reason?

One thing that may be going on is that liberals may be more willing to complain and try to get content banned. Contrary to what one might read elsewhere...

Google is a great search engine and email but I really question their motives on this.

The makers of that video may have asked Google to remove it. They are, after all, offering it for sale.

Don't know. The movie is coming out on DVD.

Perhaps the film owners asked it to be removed. Was it an officially sanctioned listing?

Try Clusty.com. It's better than Google, IMHO.

That's a reason I can accept. Do you know this to be fact? I've already ordered the DVD. Obsession is a must see.

You are right, they are all leftists. That is why I would NEVER pay for any access right to Google or Yahoo, but their advertisers do that...

See the link I posted in this thread. You can buy the whole film complete with extras. Reward the filmmakers for their work.

Some of the referenced media sites in that documentary are regularly culled for articles for FR too. Good stuff.

At the screening I attended a lib in the audience (who applauded when Michael Moore said "there is no threat, no global threat, from terrorism" and cheered when a jihadist rapper repeated referred to Bush as "Satan") questioned the filmmaker about why he didn't "balance" the experts, "Why wasn't Noam Chomsky interviewed?".

Again, if we can't agree on the basics (the rapper laughs over footage of the WTC explosion and calls for the murder of Bush and Blair), then his point his "pointless". We can never get around to debate. He seemed to find the points in the video to be justified. Terrorism is not justified.

I have been told that it was taken down due to a complaint from a copyright holder. Under the DMCA google has no choice but to comply. I mean they are selling it for 19.95 so the owners of the video might not like having it available for free.
