Sadly, YouTube's policy is actually going to encourage a lot of spam. If all it takes to get a very popular video off the website is to send around a piece of spam, I would imagine all of the campaigns (except Ron Paul's - he doesn't play that way) will start sending out email for their competition. This is the easiest way to derail a candidate that I have heard of yet. Brilliant. Instead of going after the crook who did this, they attack the campaign. Why is that the usual tact in American policies - blame the victim and let the crook take a pass and accomplish all he wanted to do. Nice job You Tube! I suppose I understand your policy, but it is not fair to Dr. Paul. Since most of his success comes from the Internet and your site I imagine both of you will suffer. Sadly, no one seems interested in finding the crook and sending him to jail for treason and for interference with a Federal campaign. I know this is not the show 24, but doesn't anyone have the capability of finding this guy? Good point. Sadly, YouTube’s policy is actually going to encourage a lot of spam.

It was entitled, Ron Paul Addresses Banking Hearing on Moral Hazard Ron Paul undressed Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke on Moral Hazard. Basically, Paul called the Fed on its theft of the poor via inflationary monetary policy. Bernanke danced.

I had no idea before this Mr. Colbert had actually thrown his hat in the ring. Also, someone should advise Mr. Paul to get hotter looking chicks for his Rte 1 overpass spamming. Giod Bless America! Tom Well,

I'm strongly inclined to think toxic attack. The bayes poison is what gets me. There are so many accusations of spamming that this is exactly what those in other campaigns want - actual spamming. No real supporter would do it. Real supporters show up at rallies wearing, 'WERE N UR STREETS, SPAMMIN UR RALLIES' shirts instead, and point to the ground presence to fight accusations of spam.
