Susan Hutchison is a stealth Religious Right candidate in King County Washington, a very liberal region. Some students spoofed a story that exposes her religious right bona fides. It included footage of her at this frightening Governor's Prayer Breakfast. (The breakfast is full of electeds either spouting or listening to exclusive evangelical prayers and comments. Hutchison's talk would have made Rick Warren proud. Separation of church and state doesn’t exist anymore?!) The spoof got 2000 hits in a day and a half and then –low and behold—it disappeared from Youtube based on a copyright infringement claim even though it was clearly fair use. Brilliant move, they figured – it takes 10 days to go through the appeals process. I say let’s show them wrong. Watch it at a UK site (before it disappears there too) and if you know how, proliferate it!

Dumb move, Hutchison campaign.
Update 10/25/09: Sorry, it looks like all copies are gone. You can watch Hutchison's Governor's Prayer Breakfast remarksat the HorsesAss.org. The students who made the ad are hoping to get a copy back up that isn't vulnerable to copyright allegations.
Update: 10/27/09. The video is back up, this time at liveleaks.
