"The 9:59 video entitled "Burning Down the House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis" played four different songs under a fast moving video sequence that very clearly tied Democrats like Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Barack Obama to policies and corruption related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It cleverly showed how the "affordable mortgage" programs sent an economic virus through the entire economy and showed Republican efforts to intervene and regulate being blocked."

You Tube pulls a popular anti-Democrat video off the web
By C. Edmund Wright
You Tube and Warner Music Group today pulled a highly popular video that very succinctly and clearly spelled out the roots of the current economic crisis.
The 9:59 video entitled "Burning Down the House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis" played four different songs under a fast moving video sequence that very clearly tied Democrats like Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Barack Obama to policies and corruption related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It cleverly showed how the "affordable mortgage" programs sent an economic virus through the entire economy and showed Republican efforts to intervene and regulate being blocked.
For Obama and all congressional Democrats, it was a devastating video.
The video had almost a perfect viewer rating and had been viewed some 1.2 million times according to the You Tube counters. Sometime around 3:45 EDT the video disappeared with the banner saying "This Video is no longer available due to a copywrite claim by Warner Music Group."

If you click the link on top of the thread page, that says every voter should watch this video....
it will take you to the video.
Pulled by AOL Time Warner, which allows their music to be used for lib purposes only.
U-tube no only on-line video sharing site.
People post tons of music and make thier own videos.
There is no question this was political censorship.
Yes and don’t know.
Saw it. It was great and easy to understand esp. for people who know little about economy....A shame it is gone since it was a truthful piece and convincing.
You know, had you simply checked TheMouthPiece’s account, you would see that he uploaded a new version with new music and better pacing to silence the copyright complaints.
TheMouthPiece already reuploaded it. Check his account... if you’re able to figure out how.
Here is my link from over a week ago. Still works I think!

There must be hundreds of videos on YouTube with “Burning Down the House” - but they only targeted one.
I recommend the version by The Cardigans.
I have it on my hard drive, if you can explain how I can send it to anyone requesting it via e-mail.
The video will be pulled from that person youtube site soon, but another 66,000 views. Keep moving it on youtube and the obama censors will be like a dog chasing it’s tail trying to keep up.
The compiler of the video should re-post it without the music of the commie crybabys.
I don’t like the music, anyway, so I listened without it and maybe got more out of it without the distraction of music made by people who hate me and want to see me enslaved or dead.
Well then just change the music and report it.
It’s not gone.
I downloaded it. Cant keep pulling it from everywhere.
As I predicted.
You can't use copyrighted music on a video that you expect to hit the mainstream and possibly affect the election. The liberals will go to the music companies and have them ask Google/YouTube to take it down. Google is obligated by law to take it down if the music company can prove that there is a copyright violation. This is not done very often but I'm sure that's what happened here.
The solution: re-edit the video with non-copyrighted music and post it here on FR. We will take care of the rest.
Just attach it like a file.
