After breaking ranks with Democrats and endorsing John McCain for the presidency at the Republic National Convention, it seemed Senator Joseph Lieberman would be out of the news for a while. But now that he has hit the terrorists hard by making sure YouTube won’t host any terrorist training videos, Lieberman is back in the spotlight.
YouTube updated its ” Community Guidelines” yesterday with a notation telling terrorist cells that if any training videos are uploaded to the service, they’re at risk of violating the company’s Terms of Service and could face permanent expulsion from the site. That should put the fear of God into them.
In response, Lieberman circulated a press release saying that his four months of pressuring YouTube has finally paid off and because of his hard work, YouTube and US citizens are safer today.
Lieberman said in a statement, “I expect these stronger community guidelines to decrease the number of videos on YouTube produced by al-Qaeda and affiliated Islamist terrorist organizations.”
We can all sleep better tonight knowing that Fearless Joe is on the job.
“Eidard saves DU from intelligent commentary”
I kid. Anyway, YouTube has been rather lazy with regards to taking down these kinds of videos. Most people can agree that training and recruitment videos for terrorist organisations have no place on that service. Does this make anyone tangibly safer? Probably not, but that hardly means Lieberman didn’t do something worthwhile.
Lehmans is going to fail and take down the US banking system with it, you can’t afford fuel to get to your minimum wage job, the pope is bitching about modern pagans worshiping money, while you can’t get enough to feed your family let alone worship it, and these people are still trying to frighten you into voting for them with the big terrorist song and dance routine..
The Chinese have the right idea. If a business fails, execute the CEO. How about adding the losers of the upcoming election to that practice. Make it more than just a game for rich kids to play.
Whaaat? That can’t be right. You say Senator Joseph Lieberman – the Democrat’s vice presidential leadership choice – is supporting a Republican for president? I hope Obama or Biden don’t do the same.

There were terrorist videos on YouTube? Right !!! Produced by the TSA too.
We are a tolerant nation. I for one believe America is ready for a Muslim president and an Israeli VP.
Obama/Lieberman in 08 would have been the ticket.
YouTube has now been clinically approved by Joe Lieberman. I’m not supporting terrorist training videos, but really… How many Americans know what’s really going on in Iraq? How many news channels have shown what an IED does to a Humvee? If you want both sides of the story, turn to Liveleak.
Amazing. Only 1 nutball with Republikan Party-approved talking points.
So far.
Obama/Liebermann would have been a ticket to vote for.
Unlike Obama/Binladin…Opps Biden.
;p
I think I’m gonna puke.
Slimy Lieberman took a gamble that McCain will win and then appoint to some cushy job like “Director of Changing Presidents Depends”.
This is his promise.

Dallas,
Clinton and Bush 43 both appointed Dems to their cabinet. It’s the in-thing and no doubt President McCain will do the same.

Clinton appointed Democrats?! Shame on him! 😉
If Obama wins, he’ll appoint terrorists to his cabinet so what’s the difference. He wants to be the president that ended America.

More Republican lies…
I don’t think he “broke rank” with the democrates, he is an independant. but this sure did surprise the heck out of myself. I just think there is a lot of lets do something first before they think of it going on in this years presidential race.
It’s not may the best person win, it’s who can get the most hits on google.com…
Wow! One brave, vigilant man can really make a difference! And if we ever find that brave man, we should introduce him to Joe Lieberman so Joe can issue a press release about him.
The Republican senator from Israel is such a tool.
KISS ME YOU FOOL!!!!

There is just way too much man love in the Republican party these days.
LOL! A party that lays together stays together!
Hoo boy. Of all the blowhard politicians, The Liebmeister blows the hardest. I’m surprised he didn’t claim that he (re-)invented YouTube.
Hey! I just lerning how fly 747, when video disappear. What I do now?
Sharia, is easy. You just blow Google up. Make sure you are connect to internet first.
Well, there’s always Pirate Bay.
The terrorist videos have been the only way to find out how the war really is going on in iraq. Joe wants to shut that down so we only get Pentagon-approved videos of smiling iraqi children being pelted by candy from our noble troops.
does the glow in the dark mt. drew count as terrorist training video?
Old men making out…
*fap**fap**fap*
That photo pretty well points out the reason McCain didn’t choose Lieberman for Vice Prez. You can’t really tell that he’s not just another growth that McCain would have had to get removed.
Coming next from the mind of Lieberman…
Terrorist blogs shut down! (those that criticize dear leader)
Terrorist music offline (Heart, Dixie Chicks, etc…)
Terrorist protest. (peace rallies).
Coming soon….unless you vote for the right people in november.
