American Crossroads, a SuperPAC run by longtime Republican dirty tricks specialist Karl Rove, recently produced a web ad attacking Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu for rarely living in her home state of Louisiana.
However, that web ad is no longer available on YouTube.
You see, when I tried to play the video after a commentor on Daily Kos Elections embedded it in a comment he made about the video, I got this message instead:
"American Crossroads: ..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Fox News Network, LLC.
Yes, you read that correctly: FOX News had YouTube take down a web video produced by Karl Rove's SuperPAC. This is despite the fact FOX News is a right-wing propaganda network that is completely in the tank for the Republican Party, and that Rove frequently appears on FOX News programming.
Karl Rove's outfit was so determined to attack Mary Landrieu, a corporate Democrat who overtly claims to represent the oil industry, as part of his effort to replace her with a far-right Republican nutjob, that he forgot about copyright laws.
