Political villains like the villains in a genre novel I guess it had to happen: a false-flag operation on Youtube.

Somebody (Republican operative? Nihilist? Skinhead?) creates supposedly Democrat-affiliated YouTube group called "UtubeDemos", and fills it with videos calling Rumsfeld a Nazi, the US Marines a Nazi cult, and celebratory montages of US troops being killed.

I'm not so sure I go with the "false flag" theory, looks like the poster got in some dust-up with some military types and is trying to provoke a flamewar.

Nope, still in Branson, Mo. If you go for a visit, just remember that checkout time is 8:00 AM.
