You know, because YouTube videos don't misconstrue the words or phrases of the organizations their makers are trying to protest, nor do they use vague phone calls in an effort distort the credibility of that organization.
And, I just want to point out two things which really caught my eye about that four and a half minute musical montage of garbage:
1) The phone call which opened the video... I've worked for politicians who have a certain set of views. Regardless of those views, when someone calls the office, we are solely responsible for taking down their comments and acting as if we agree with the person on the other end. Someone may call into my office and say "Hillary Clinton is working with Ahmadinejad to nuke New York City," but my only reaction should be "okay, I'll pass your comments along." So, when someone calls planned parenthood and says "I want to donate money to your organization because I definitely think we should get rid of black people," it doesn't surprise me that the reaction of the woman on the other end is "well, we'll take the money for whatever reason."
2) The repeated use of the phrase "one person at a time," indicating to the uneducated person that Planned Parenthood advocates killing one "person" at a time. No, that's not overly biased one bit.
So yeah... that's some real classy, credible stuff right there...
I stopped paying attention after the phone call for the very reasons you delineate.
