"I go where the truth takes me"? Give me a break!! (0.00 / 0)
Did he tell the truth about supporting a timeline?  Perhaps a half-truth when he said that most of our troops could be out of Iraq in 2007?  Did he tell the truth about supporting timelines when he conveniently left out his requirement that he would only support a timeline that was proposed by President Bush, who had already made it clear that he would never propose one?  Is a half truth the truth?  I think a deliberate half truth is a bald-faced lie.

Wow! (0.00 / 0)
That was f***ing AWESOME!  (Now I have to go over and post that on my blog without the stars)

mattw: Where's that videotape?!?! (4.00 / 1)
Where Shays jumps out of his chair and yells at me that it isn't an "Occupation".

What a squid.

Great Job (4.00 / 2)
I think more like this may add Rep. Crazy Shazy to add his name to Republican retirements in 08.

Satan likes me, he really likes me! (4.00 / 4)
Thanks to all for the kind words.  And my feelings, as usual, we will slaughter them all.

View Count Censored? (0.00 / 0)
.
Or just an amazing coincidence? On Friday Oct. 19 at about 8am, I reloaded that youtube as I was curious how many folks had seen it, only to discover that the "views" count was exactly 1,000, and there was just 1 "comment". That should be impossible for two reasons. How am I lucky enough to be exactly the 1,000th person to load it? Why such a LOW count considering it's exposure over at kos? See for yourself (hope this works...)-

It should come as no surprise that certain people would not want us to see it, and since it's out, that it should not seem popular.

you're right (4.00 / 1)
I was also viewer number 1,000, and just one comment below.

No conspiracy theories, please (0.00 / 0)
YouTube doesn't automatically do a recount that will show on the video's page. But if you go to Mikect's page you'll see 1008 views for it. (Mike might have a different number on his own page, which does refresh.) And as for comments try adding one yourself if you're so concerned.

Why Am I 1008 at Mike's Page Same As You? (0.00 / 0)

And I did try adding a comment. Guess what? It didn't show up... OK, now you try.

Agreed (0.00 / 0)
Despite my international prominence, I suspect that the people at YouTube might have a few better things to do with their time than keep the counter down on my satire, even if it is one of the greater threats the power elite have faced in this century.

I did notice that it was "hung" for a few hours at 200.  I've seen references to some other videos getting stuck for a while at that magical number.  Their counters seem to fall behind at a certain point.  As far as traffic from Kos,  a) the link was in the middle of many items in an open thread, and b) people had to click through to this page, then click the video.

I'm Glad To See That My Comment Finally Showed Up (0.00 / 0)
.
But I think the larger point that I was trying to make here is my shock that after 3 days of exposure on this and a far more widely read blog that it could be possible that only (about) 1,000 people viewed it. Isn't that a legitimate concern? I've read articles about the hit numbers being changed over at Google Video for controversial titles. And if you study the page over here:

http://www.army.com/...

you will see this sentence about "indicators"- "A PSYOPS Officer conducts operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences. The goal is to influence the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, decision-making abilities and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals." I see it says "foreign", but then that's why I made my comment. Go ahead, tar me with the term "conspiracy theorist", but really, how could that count be so woefully low for such a sensational video?

Damocrats? (0.00 / 0)
In the first clip with crazyman, it sure sounds like he said Damocrats.  Sounds like a gaffe to me.
