eBay removes "Go fuck yourself Mr. Cheney" video tape auction page

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

NOTE: Even though eBay has prohibited the auction of this video tape, Vice President Dick Cheney should still feel free to go fuck himself. Repeatedly, in fact.

Man who said 'fuck yourself' to Cheney selling tape on eBay

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. On the removed auction page, physician Ben Marble, wrote about losing his home in Hurricane Katrina.

"Suddenly a long line of dark cars pulls up and they start honking at me to backup to let the long line of cars through the barricade that supposedly no one can drive through," he added. "I waved a middle finger at the caravan. I drove the extra 20 minutes and finally made it back to my former house filming video of the destruction along the way. A few minutes later I overheard a neighbor say that Dick Cheney was down the street talking to people."

"Right in front of the destroyed tennis court I used to play on Dick Cheney was giving a pep rally talking to the press," he claimed. "The Secret Service guys patted us down and waved the wands over us and then let us pass."

"I then took a picture of him and then yelled 'Go Fu* Yourself Mr. Cheney ....Go Fu* YOURSELF....Go Fu* Yourself...you asshole.' I had/have no intention of harming anyone but merely wanted to echo Mr. Cheney's infamous words back at him. At that moment I noticed the Secret Service guys with a panic stricken look on their faces like they were about to tackle me so I calmly walked away back to my former house."

1. $700?

That's because it's rare. Kinda wish it were common.

3. My email to ebay.

Why did you remove the F**k You Cheney Videotape?

Is it ok for Cheney to say "F**k You" but no one else?

Where is your sense of decency?

4. Not surprised eBay pulled it... He probably could relist it IF...

he took out some of the offensive language and the link to his website. Personally I don't agree with ebay pulling it but OTOH it did violate eBay's TOS. Of course even if he did that there's no telling that moran's wouldn't keep reporting it and be a pain... unfortunately eBay tends to pull auctions first and ask questions later. :grr:

When I posted the link to his auction in another thread on DU today I mentioned to look fast. I've been selling on ebay and active on auction boards for over 6 years now... eBay is a 600# gorilla I know, love and at times hate.

Darn it... I really wish I had remembered to save it as a web page.
