Okay, so what was once #7 and #24 ranked videos are now 1st in the Top Ten. So it's likely Google will notice again and delete these. Is this to be expected of them?
MANCOW SHOW Monday, 4:05am Pacific - http://www.mancow.com/
If you hadn’t heard, Peter was on with Mancow a little over a week ago. Mancow said he was going to push this story. Over that weekend, he received a death threat to he and his family.

GO DOUG GO!!!!
The point is that by removing its top-ranked video from its top 10 and top 100 lists, Google is acting as a political censor, reducing the visibility of a video it obviously doesn't like. The evidence is clear-cut -- the video was at #1 yesterday and is unlisted today. Google's willingness to do this is a newsworthy event.
“The Equal Justice site has been warned that it will lose its non-profit status if it sells the “political lobbbying” film.”
“Warned” by whom?
The IRS?
Hillary’s campaign?
And "Mouse with cheese" is a hoot.
guess we need to keep this one bumped!!!!
I believe it was an attorney from the Hillary team, but I’m not certain about that.
Not true, in either case. See http://video.google.com.
Top 100 pull down #1. Top ten sidebar #1. You are doing it wrong.
In answer to the idea that they don’t list political videos in the top 100, I notice that one of the “popular” videos currently listed is “Bush Family Are Nazis.”
I'm not a lawyer but this sounds like complete crockola to me. First of all, the film does not constitute lobbying. Lobbying is an attempt to influence legislation. Although it isn't relevant here, a 501(c)(3) group can in fact engage in a significant amount of lobbying. The law was changed to allow this around 1975.
You can argue that the film is political activity. But what a nonprofit can't do is advocate for a specific candidate. Does the film do that? No. You could even say that it is not an advocacy against Hillary's candidacy but merely an expose of this particular incident. To cite another example, there are nonprofit groups putting out anti-Romney videos (Log Cabin Republicans) and anti-Rudy videos (NY firefighters group). They are not breaking the law because they are not endorsing a specific candidate.
I think you should get this from a lawyer, then file a complaint with the state bar about this creep trying to intimidate you.
Bumpity bump bump
Bumpity bumpity bump bump bump! ... Sic'um, Doug!
Unfortunately, evidence had been withheld by a US Attorney's office. The evidence was a 5-minute video of a taped conversation in which Hillary is directly participating in the solicitation of an illegal hard money, in-kind contribution of approximately $1.6 million. Sorry for the sound quality, but this tells the story. HILLARY FELONIES CAUGHT ON TAPE. There are two other tapes the FBI took under subpoena. They claim to not have them. This coverup far eclipses Watergate. The would have all been exposed by now if Woodward and Bernstein were still alive. (yes, I know)
The video was withheld while the FEC investigated, through the David Rosen trial, and when the Senate Ethics Committee took a look. Hillary was cleared because evidence was hidden. People committed perjury during the Rosen trial. The witnesses with the most direct knowledge were never called. Peter was never called because the Clinton-appointed federal judge called him a conman and thoroughly discredited individual before a word of evidence was hear. Hmmmm, why am I thinking 1919 Black Sox?
Instead of fighting a legal battle and taking time and resources, the Equal Justice site is accepting donations for the legal case. For a donation, the person gets a video.
Media Matters is total political activity for Hillary. Kelly Craighead helped set it up for her. It was established to get her into the White House.
I see it as currently number 7
