Issa removes partisan video from Republican Oversight Committee YouTube channel.
As ThinkProgress reported earlier today, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) posted a video of an RNC event on the official YouTube channel of the Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The political nature of the video appeared to make its publication on the committee’s official channel a violation of House rules. Now, just two hours after our post, the video is gone — replaced with an error message reading, “This video has been removed by the user.” A screen shot of the original video:
The Oversight Committee’s minority press office has not yet responded requests for comment from ThinkProgress.

Issa removes partisan video from Republican Oversight Committee YouTube channel.
– - Issa, channeling Steele, “Ya know, it’s all good brotha,ya know? My bad.”
July 8th, 2009 at 3:33 pmNow, if only California would remove Issa.
July 8th, 2009 at 3:36 pmNow DON’T DO IT AGAIN.
July 8th, 2009 at 3:43 pmhaha, stupid Republicans and their Internets
July 8th, 2009 at 3:46 pmI think it was all just a terrible mistake. It won’t happen again – promise.
July 8th, 2009 at 3:48 pmTo think these guys were in charge once. Kind of makes you shudder.
July 8th, 2009 at 3:50 pmok… but, how about some fact checking on that video that
“purports to put the cost of health care reform in perspective.”
did it?
July 8th, 2009 at 3:52 pm“Issa removes partisan video from Republican Oversight Committee YouTube channel.”
Ah, if now Chairman of Oversight Committee Ed Towns posted a similar video like Issa, Towns certainly would be tarred and feathered. Issa certainly received too many free passes for his actions. I never understood why this former car thief would be the highest ranking GOP member of the Oversight Committee. But the press office need to release a statement. And I am holding my breath whether Issa will apologize.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:00 pmThank you.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:02 pmTechnology is a mutha huh? Now just imagine if this was still the party of ideas, we’d all be writing on rocks.
Help us.
RIP

Let’s see, he was elected to congress during the 2000 election. That means he has been in office for 8 years so he is not a freshman congressman. He should know the rules, and if he doesn’t, his staff should.
It is well and good that the video was taken down, but where are the repercussions from this action? If there is no action against him, then others will feel free to disregard the rule.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:05 pmMeanwhile the economy is still crashing
July 8th, 2009 at 4:07 pmCue the “I apologize if my actions offended anyone” nonapology in 3, 2, 1. . .

Thanks to the idiot Bush and the equally idiotic Republicans that destroyed the economy over the last eight years.
By the way, you could help your own finances by joining the military and go to Afghanistan. I’m sure several of the regular posters here would be willing to throw you a going away party. What do you say, when are you going to join up?
July 8th, 2009 at 4:09 pmDear Representative Issa,
Was it something that I said?
Yours truly,

Who’s in charge right now? Who’s had congress since 2006? Shut the hell up and man up to your failures.

I don’t speak repiggie, do I translate this to “Whaaaaa Whaaaa Whaaaa, the big bad Lefty Liberal hurt my feelings. Whaaaa Whaaaa”?
On another note, why don’t you man up and join the military and see the world. I hear Afghanistan is beautiful this time of year!
July 8th, 2009 at 4:18 pmWhat’s wrong Young Diaper-Wearer? Did Rush cut your pay from a dime per spam comment to a nickel? Don’t worry, Obama has had less than six months to fix Chimpy’s screw-ups and the Dems have had a filibuster-proof majority for about a day and a half now. If they don’t fix the economy by the next election, wail away. Right now, nobody really cares what the people who tried to blame Bill Clinton for the September 11 attacks thinks about Obama’s first six months.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:22 pmLittle Young Repug, I’ve been asking you everytime you post, why you haven’t signend up to go serve your country like a good young American. The Army could use a good red white and blue guy like you. You tell us progressive’s how great real Americans are, well I’m waiting to see you put your body were your mouth is. Man up little young repug, so us what you got.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:28 pmBecause the young republican is afraid – he’s VERY afraid. (he’s also a little pussy)
July 8th, 2009 at 4:34 pmangels81, how about we throw young diaper-rash a going away party if he joins up? I’m sure there will be a few others that would like to join in.
IF he is man enough (not holding my breath)
July 8th, 2009 at 4:34 pmAll you Liberals are batshit-crazy. And Timmy, I’m gonna kick your punk A$$ trailer-trash faker.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:46 pmAnother example of the Rethuglicans GOPERS breaking the rules because they think they’re going to get away with it!
IT’S A NEW DAY – GOPERS WILL BE EXPOSED FOR THEIR LIES TOO!
HAHA!

Are you going to answer my question about joining the military? The army is looking for someone just like you. And there is a going away party waiting for you when you decide to join.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:49 pmEveryone needs to shut the hell up. So what if I’m gay?

Then come out of the closet and join this group:

That way you can be laughed at by more than just the posters here. You can be laughed at by gays everywhere…
July 8th, 2009 at 4:55 pmIssa ought to put on that video clip of himself crying like a 3 year old after Ahssnold stole his lolly pop.

You’re being played, people. It’s almost certainly the same troll, logged in on two different accounts.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:58 pmThanks for the catch gummble-bee-itch, I didn’t catch the difference between “The Young Republican” and “Young Republican”. If I may have said something that someone might have been offended by, I may extend my apologies…
July 8th, 2009 at 5:02 pmYoung Republican Says:
Who’s had congress since 2006
In the fact based universe, the Republicans controlled both houses of congress until Jan 2007.
July 8th, 2009 at 5:21 pmMAY WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE;
I, THE YOUNG REPUBLICAN, AM GAY! …sorry for offending anyone in the past. I’m a coward too.

hey stupid,
July 8th, 2009 at 5:27 pmwas it a veto proof majority? now shut the hell up
sorry lefty, i didn
July 8th, 2009 at 5:27 pm‘t delete your name from my last post, that was aimed at the young republiscum
No problem Bozo. The young diaper-rash is just a product of his god – G W Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” laws. He hasn’t had the benefit of a proper education.
July 8th, 2009 at 5:34 pmThey will od the same thing they always do. There will be no action. Vitter, Ensign, Sanford, Craig, and Foley show this to be the pattern republicans use. They also don’t believe in giving genuine apologies (Boehner on the stimulus $ in Ohio.)
