It's 1994. The GOP promised to dismantle social programs, cut taxes and balance the budget. Newt Gingrich massaged the message, and the "Me Generation" bought it hook, line and sinker. This was the new GOP, and they had made...

I speculated recently that the worm may be turning as it relates to the Obama administration's political capital. The near Teflon like protection that a fawning press afforded him is...

Another day, another Obama infomercial. President Barack Obama held a townhall style meeting today, one in which the audience was "hand-picked" by White House staffers. It was conveniently "moderated" by...

The president's apologists at The New York Times are putting the best possible spin on the administration's economic forecasting failures. That the Times is even writing about this subject indicates...

Unbelievably, the EU commissioners are now moving ahead with plans to impose a new 10% tax on mobility scooters imported into Europe, often manufactured in the United States. But some like physicist Stephen Hawking are angry as this will dramatically...

Well, yes, uploading copyrighted material is not only a violation of terms but illegal. I trust you intend to pay a royalty for each time someone hits that post

The video was up for quite a while. I had it on OTB several weeks ago (see the comments section).
I understand Comedy Central's desire to protect the future marketability of the episode for syndication. I would think YouTube would be liable for the copyright issues; I can't imagine that linking to YouTube's material--which, for all one might know is licensed--would be problematic.

For those who still haven't seen it yet, the South Park Scientology episode is available to download at the excellent anti-Scientology site Operation Clambake, located at http://www.xenu.net. (Scroll right down to the bottom of the front page and you'll see the links). As far as I'm aware, Matt & Trey gave that site express permission to host the episode, so it's perfectly legal.
Take THAT, you fascist Xenu-worshipping pricks.
