YouTube Activism for the Final Days of the Race

[LeighAnn]

There are videos about Barack Obama coming out on YouTube 3 or 4 times a minute.

I'm calling on DUers to spend some time between now and Election Day visiting YouTube, searching for the "Just Added" videos by keyword, and rating videos according to their merit, leaving comments that will set the record straight. There's a lot of propaganda on there, seems the negative outweighs the positive, and I'm hoping you'll help to dilute the effectiveness of this right-wing hate propaganda. Here are the links

Also, hit the "News and Politics" page for ones that have already gained notoriety to put your two cents (and rating) in

and recent additions to this page

You'll come across a lot of videos to post at DU! But don't waste too much time on videos that are so bad they'll likely not go anywhere... there's a lot of that.

You'll have to be a YouTube member, if you're not already, you can sign up here

One thing... sometimes the pro-Obama comes off initially as anti-Obama, just to get right-wingers to click on it. Make sure that's not the case before you trash it!

1. You're right

There are tons of videos popping up.

One I liked that doesn't seem to be getting much attention is:

3. Help Report Fake Ebay Auctions

Hey guys,
I don't have enough posts to make a new thread (don't mean to hijack your thread) but Repukes are posting fake ebay auctions and then posting those links all over the internet. We need to report these sites for violation of terms of service. Here's an example of one of their sites:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270290759712

I've already reported it but we need more people to search and report these fake auctions!

Thanks,

Jim

4. What does one look for?

What should a person look for in a "fake ebay auction"? I got pwnd on ebay when I tried to buy a Farenheit 911 DVD... it ended up being the fake, right-wing counter video.

Boy was I mad, because I was sending the DVD to someone I was trying to persuade, and they got the anti-Michael Moore video instead.

More info, please!

5. The linked item is gone: Did you report the seller to Ebay?

You could have gotten your money back and their account deleted.
