The nice thing about the internet is that is allows peoples voices to be heard. Creative, intelligent people who might not otherwise have a large audience or a podium to speak from can log on to the internet and find a whole audience of people with whom to share their ideas. This is a very good thing, and has broken down the barriers between the regular mainstream media and bloggers/online journalists/those-people-who-make-youtube-videos. So while I fully support the internet and everything that it allows, every once in awhile you run across someone who is taking advantage of the internet. From those people on the internet who use the anonymity of the internet to write hate speech on messageboards, to the ones who try to pass lies off as truths in blogs, some people abuse the power the internet has given us.
Generally I don't like to give a microphone to these sorts of people, there is no reason why their lies and falsities should be repeated. Nevertheless, I ran across this video and was still angered. Someone took the time to piece together this video, which tries to put words in the mouths of politicians. Now this is not the first time it has been done, but it is nevertheless still annoying.
You can judge for yourself from the video. I like the idea, they really could have done something good with it. It reminds me of something actually...
