Anti-Lindsey Graham Videos Yanked
fitsnews.com ^ | 11/26/13

Posted on 11/29/2013 7:27:50 AM PST by cotton1706

A pair of videos critical of liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham have been yanked from the internet.

One of the videos was posted by Orangeburg, S.C. attorney Bill Connor – the most recent of four candidates to announce his intention to challenge Graham in next year’s Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. The other was posted by the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) – a group which has endorsed the candidacy of S.C. Sen. Lee Bright, another one of Graham’s U.S. Senate challengers.

Connor’s video (which we wrote about here) was pulled after receiving around 75,000 views. The RLC spot (which we wrote about here) was pulled after receiving roughly 35,000 views.

Both videos have since been reposted (here and here).

So … what’s the deal?

“Some have speculated that the Lindsey Graham campaign may have recruited so called ‘social media bots,’ computer generated social media profiles which can be used to make mass reports etc via social media, to flag Connor’s video,” Palmetto political blogger Javan Browder speculates.

That … or Graham could have saved himself the trouble and just called his good buddies at the National Security Agency.

I watched both vids. Nothing offensive about either unless you are Flimsey Tinkerbelle. So why did they get pulled?

Waiting to see who all the primary candidates are, but I’ve met Bill Connor & believe he would make a great Senator.

I also believe Trey Gowdy would make a great President, but that’s down the road.

When I hear Lindsey Graham then I think - Far Far to the left. And another infiltrator to the republican party.

What the hell do they mean yanked from “The Internet?” It’s not possible to “yank” something from “The Internet.” Was it pulled from Facebook? YouTube? Google Search results? some or all of the above?

Knowing that would help people direct their outrage and/or complaints.
