Lieberman demands YouTube censor content, YouTube tells him to go pound sand

Censoring video games and rock music wasn't enough. Now he wants to censor the internet:

WASHINGTON, May 20 (UPI) -- Google has refused a request from U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Ind.-Conn., to remove videos produced by terrorist groups from its video-sharing site YouTube.

In a statement posted on the YouTube blog, the company said that it had taken down some of the videos identified by Lieberman's staff because they contained hate speech, gratuitous violence or in other ways violated community standards.

"Senator Lieberman stated his belief, in a letter sent today, that all videos mentioning or featuring these groups should be removed from YouTube -- even legal nonviolent or non-hate speech videos," the statement said. "While we respect and understand his views, YouTube encourages free speech and defends everyone's right to express unpopular points of view."

Now, I don't support al Qaeda, but free speech is free speech. And Joe Loserman shouldn't be able to wipe his bony, shriveled ass with the constitution.

I'm glad he never made it to VP.

I sure hope this didn't surprise anybody.

For example, Al-Jazeera consistently has more more truthful content than any of our mainstream outlets.
