TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A video featuring a Kansas legislator criticizing President Barack Obama's policies while wearing a hat describing opossum as "the other dark meat" was removed Thursday from YouTube, where the lawmaker had posted it last month.

Republican Rep. Bill Otto said he didn't remove the video, titled "RedNeck Rap," and didn't know why it had been taken down. Google Inc., YouTube's owner, could offer no explanation.

I think the OP missed the point as usual with most liberals. While the Republican was obviously stupid for said "rap", the question in my mind is why are critics of Obamas being silenced?

Any examples as to Bush opponents being silenced?

Because it's racist garbage and Youtube doesn't permit racist garbage. I understand that to you folks there's no such thing as racism and that anything is perfectly acceptable to you. What's next - images of guys in white sheets lynching him?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for defending this sort of crap, but then that would require some sense of decency, wouldn't it?

Never mind.
