When I was driving home this evening, I saw such a person coming out of Rishell's house, and she looked GLUM! And no, I am not a stalker, I live one block away and her home is along my route in and out of Bloom's Crossing. Is the campaign manager a heavyset, busty girl with medium brown hair?

The issue here really is NOT the Campaign Manager...I'm sure she's "far from alone" in her beliefs and actions; the issue is the political aspirant who is so naive as to have not "taken a look at background" before hiring her, OR so naive as to think that the voting public either wouldn't find out, or if they did, wouldn't object. I dare say that most, if not all of us have at some point said/done things that we'd just as soon not be widely known by the public. Therefore, I have empathy for the young girl. However, we surely have no place in the HOD for the "family values"politician who was either asleep at the switch, or thought it would make no difference. …and NOW, with the MSM getting involved is when the young Campaign Manager, instead of the real culprit, Jeanette Rishell, will be embarassed/hurt by some decisions she made in the past.

If Rishell was trying to prevent people from learning the truth about her decisions as a candidate, that seems to have failed pretty badly.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JEANETTE RISHELL CAMPAIGN SEEKS TO SQUASH POLITICAL SPEECH

July 30th, 2009

Manassas, Virginia: The campaign of Jeanette Rishell, a candidate running for the 50th District House of Delegates in Virginia has filed a copyright infringement claim with YouTube regarding a video created by local blogger Greg Letiecq on July 29th. The video criticizes her selection of a campaign manager and uses short clips from her own campaign videos to demonstrate the hypocrisy of claiming to support family values, but hiring someone to represent her campaign who posted pictures of used condoms on her public Facebook page, written articles advocating homosexual relationships, and had supported including hard-core pornography videos in the collection of the library at Rochester University.

“YouTube maintains a policy of disabling video content after receiving any complaints regarding copyright infringement, so the videos are currently unavailable on YouTube” said Letiecq, the blogger who operates the Black Velvet Bruce Li blog. “It is unprecedented for a political campaign to allege copyright infringement when someone uses short clips of their campaign videos, and this is a clear effort to stifle criticism of her bad judgment by misusing the law.”

Copyright law provides limited use of the material of others under the “fair use doctrine,” particularly when such use is essential for parody, criticism or educational purposes and is limited to the minimum portion of the original work necessary. Recently, a similar “fair use” issue involving a video by the National Organization for Marriage and contested by Perez Hilton was resolved by YouTube in favor of the “fair use” of Perez Hilton’s statements. Using short clips of a video for permitted purposes, even without authorization, is permissible “fair use” under Title 17 Section 107 of the United States Code.

Ben Tribbett, the blogger behind “Not Larry Sabato” called the Rishell campaign’s actions “total insanity” in a post late on July 29th he decided to make the video available for download from his own servers so they could evaluate the claims of the Rishell campaign themselves. The attempt to misuse copyright law in an effort to stifle free political speech has failed because of a bipartisan effort by Virginia bloggers to stand up for free political speech.

Since I run this webserver on a DSL line from my house, I just don't have the bandwidth to host video. Fortunately FOIS just got run in my neighborhood, so this is another reason to take time tomorrow and talk to Verizon about that. In the meantime, the video file isn't too big to email. If anyone wants a copy, just contact me and I'll send it to you. At 7.5MB flash, and 9MB windows media, it’s a little big to host on my server, otherwise I certainly would.

YouTube has the right to take down any video if they don't want to receive complaints, but if you host it, it would take a lawsuit to take it down. So host the video on your own server.
