Hillary's campaign demanded comedy videos about here be taken down. Now she's got a national comedy video contest targeting her! Welcome to free speech!

This is what I call comedy!! The owner of the Laugh Factory, the iconic and historic comedy club in LA, got a threatening phone call from someone in the Hillary campaign demanding that he remove from YouTube some comedian routines that made fun of Hillary. The link here includes the original story from Judicial Watch. What does an outrageous attempt at threatening free speech deserve? A "make fun of Hillary" comedy video competition, of course!!! Welcome to blowback from Americans who still enjoy and know how to use their freedom of speech--and can be cheeky about it! If anyone here in the Gulch takes initiative and creativity to make their own video and submit it, give it a plug with a comment below! http://www.infowars.com/national-cont...

    Darn, sorry for you. Thanks for trying. They weren't that spectacular anyway...I bet the contest winners will be much better. I'll come back to this thread when they are announced to post the link.

    Great point. That's why everyone who cares about exercising their freedom of speech and maintaining their property rights in our modern age should own their own domain and website! in my not so humble opinion...and I'm ready and eager to help other people here in the Gulch with that for themselves or their business.

    Thanks for the Slate article link. I had the same disappointment with the joke quality too, actually. There are legitimate doubts about the authenticity of the story, until we get better proof. But see my comment above--Hillary's long history makes this account very likely. The Slate article is a shill piece in my judgment.

    I hope he is ready to re-host those videos somewhere besides YouTube, because YouTube is very willing to take videos down for no good reason if some group of bad guys complain about them -- and I'm not talking about copyright. YouTube just took down the "Photography Is Not A Crime" channel.

    LOL! To anticipate some skepticism that this may not be a legit story--even if the person wasn't from her campaign (because nobody has verified the source or fessed up to it), it shows the type of person she is attracting to her cause. Her karma is a dark cloud of crime...

    I second all of this! I'm torn between wanting her to withdraw ASAP so we can get her off the stage, vs wanting her to become the Dem nominee so she can rile up so much of the country that she is guaranteed to lose. But the risk she might win is horrific to me...

    I was expecting something really harsh. It was so underwhelming-- jokes along the line of what standup comedians typically make about public figures.

    I do not believe the leadership of the Clinton campaign authorized the call. Some possible scenarios are discussed here: http://www.slate.com/articles/double_...

    A ranting comedian tearing into Hillary Clinton.
    It's like a cold shower.
    Let's hope the water doesn't turn to blood. Probably not quite there as yet.
    I can hardly wait to see some of the results.

    Point! If she is so offended by what folks say about her (mostly true I imagine) then she should not be in Public Life!

    Being so thin skinned highlights her character flaws which would not serve the country well should she become president.

    Perhaps she should just stay home and enjoy her rich perks of "Public Service". After all, milking she and Bill's "Public Service" for all of the 100's of millions of dollars in kickbacks and influence peddling should have her very comfortable.

    Leave the presidency to someone a little more honest!

    Mrs. Clinton is and has been a silly cartoon character since the day she stepped onto the public stage with her Randy husband.

    Her antics at the Rose Law Firm, her being kicked off the Watergate committee as a staffer for "lacking integrity" and lying, her attacking women raped and assaulted by her philandering husband as well as all of those moronic decisions she made in varying positions of "Trust" paints her as an already wildly successful, cartoon character.

    Perhaps if she had a little integrity through the years, she would have something to complain about however being that she created her own character, now she must live with the consequences!!

    Guess what? You can no longer access the Laugh Factory's videos from the USA... Or at least that's what it's saying.

    The score is:
    Totalitarianism-1
    Constitution-0
    At the bottom of the barrel (or at least the bottom of a fifth...)

    Guess the goon squad got to them...

    The comedy in the original clip I saw was very, very funny - a little racy, too. Some expected lesbian references...haha!

    Where's the video? If this story is true, let's see some Streisand Effect.
