[cynatnite]

The emergency room physician who told Vice President Dick Cheney to "fuck yourself" was selling a video of the incident on eBay, and the price rose to nearly $700 before it was removed by administrators, RAW STORY has discovered.

1. I saw it when it was up to $960. Wish I had saved the page . . .

I don't understand why it was pulled. He was selling a legitimate item . . . :nuke:

4. Like THAT'S anything new?

I had a freeper post the word shit in one of my auctions and they shut it down, and it was just a comment. eBay has become the taste police appearantly, no profanity but you can buy a fucking grilled cheese or a fish stick that looks like the christ or his mama. go figger.

5. That's not counting all the bootlegged crap that's sold to

You're right, of course. It's hypocritical as hell.

6. I think the freepers went crazy over it... and complained A LOT.

I've been selling impeach bush tshirts for the past 2 weeks on there, and I can tell you I've gotten 200 emails from freepers turning me in for everything under the sun. eBay likes things to go smooth and if something gets too much attention they shut it down usually.

I consider eBay to be a very republican company judging from how they delete auctions that say anything bad about this administration.

Freedom of what? not on ebay.

3. He'd do a much better

if he burned a couple of hundred copies and sold them outright.
