It sure is getting to be a hot summer. And the town hall protesters are turning up the heat: they’ve gone from objecting to a national health care plan to wanting to shoot illegal immigrants in the head — and then deport them.
ConsiderThisNews has the video of protesters in New Hampshire, expressing their anger at [...]

The American Civil Liberties Union just issued this report (with this neat YouTube video accompanying it) on the range of problems created by the U.S. government’s crackdown on Muslim charities suspected of supporting terrorism since 9/11.
The report, “Blocking Faith, Freezing Charity” picks up on a point that President Obama made in his recent speech in [...]

Sen. Barack Obama’s vote was recorded, broadcast, reported and blogged in real time. His campaign still turned the footage into one of the fastest ads of this campaign, cutting a simple GOTV web ad that is already moving around YouTube:

Sen. Barack Obama took a few moments to discuss his grandmother’s death on the campaign trail on Monday, and then he swiftly returned to focusing his message on closing arguments and GOTV.
His campaign also released a statement to traveling reporters, but otherwise avoided the topic on Monday night. There was no press release for broader [...]

If you upload it, they will watch it.
That was the simple premise of the Obama campaign’s dramatic intensification of its YouTube outreach in the homestretch of this long race.

The Obama campaign is intensifying its YouTube outreach in the closing days of the election, stacking its official channel with as many as 10 new, high-quality videos a day.

The latest item on Sen. Barack Obama’s official YouTube channel is a wacky, dorky, irreverent video titled, really, “Robots Attack!”
Wonder why they didn’t use this in the prime-time [...]

“This man should be our president,” former President Bill Clinton told a boisterous, late-night rally for Sen. Barack Obama in Florida on Wednesday.
After the famous infomercial had aired — and while the pundits still traded their meta-analysis on cable news — Clinton made a strong case for why Obama should assume the presidency in a [...]

I’m a little tired of The Undecideds, The Swing Voters and all those People In The Middle — but they do decide elections after the rest of us have made our decisions.
To appeal to those remaining thin slices of the electorate, a new video campaign has launched to pitch Sen. Barack Obama.  The project is [...]

The Obama campaign’s Internet operation knows how to meet the moment. Sensing some irrational exuberance from supporters, which can stoke complacency, Obama’s web team dropped a viral video Tuesday that has already drawn more than 100,000 views — launching it into the top-20 political videos on YouTube after a single day.
Remember, this is an official [...]
