A pair of videos critical of liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham have been yanked from the internet.
One of the videos was posted by Orangeburg, S.C. attorney Bill Connor – the most recent of four candidates to announce his intention to challenge Graham in next year’s Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. The other was posted by the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) – a group which has endorsed the candidacy of S.C. Sen. Lee Bright, another one of Graham’s U.S. Senate challengers.
Connor’s video (which we wrote about here) was pulled after receiving around 75,000 views. The RLC spot (which we wrote about here) was pulled after receiving roughly 35,000 views.
Both videos have since been reposted (here and here).
So … what’s the deal?
“Some have speculated that the Lindsey Graham campaign may have recruited so called ‘social media bots,’ computer generated social media profiles which can be used to make mass reports etc via social media, to flag Connor’s video,” Palmetto political blogger Javan Browder speculates.
That … or Graham could have saved himself the trouble and just called his good buddies at the National Security Agency.

From now on when Haley’s pictures are posted, may I suggest we cover her face in the same blindfold. It will prevent a great deal of visual cruelty to those of us who are terrified at her and the possibility of 4 more years of lies, self serving actions, by her for her contributors, family and her sycophants.
Enough is enough! Obama’s re-election was a terrible mistake, let us not make another horrible mistake re-electing this self serving, incompetent Haley!!
Nikki, unfortunately, is one of those women who will not age well, but she was an attractive wench at Clemson…..
Just look at the mother and you will know how a woman will age.
Christie Brinkley’s daughter says “I wish”
Was she as loose as some have inferred? ?
playful and fun to have around…..
social media bots
Must be what votes for that cockroach*, also.
*Borrowing jimlewisowb’s terminology.
I think it’s funny that you refer to Mr. Graham as liberal. He’s moderate at best, certainly no liberal, unless you are a tea party hack..
I am a proud Tea Party Patriot. No need for a curt response. I really don’t give a fecal flake for your damnable thoughts!
Yes, Lindsey could have just called his good butties.
Flagging campaigns are par for the course on YouTube, as are false DMCA claims, because YouTube automatically reacts to them and often don’t give a shit when it happens.
Thank Graham for making Obama a dictator with NDAA 2012. Understanding NDAA 2012 https://www.facebook.com/events/205127726260803/
Not surprising. Thanks for writing the article and reminding us just how
petty some of this becomes. I looked at everyone. I like what Sen
Bright says, but I’m really intrigued by Mr. Connor’s candidacy now. He
seems as if he’s a strong candidate and might be our best chance to oust
Lindsey. But all the candidates still have time to prove themselves.
It’s about time someone targeted LG they could double up and include that RINO dirt bag from AZ Juan McCain, I still say he gave in at the Hilton.
