THE YOUTUBE ELECTION IS HERE (PLUS: AS USUAL, THE PRETTY GIRLS ARE ON OUR SIDE) [VIDEOS]

Original: We haven't done the legwork on this one way or another, but these quotes don't seem technically "true" or "like the way Palestinians usually talk." This video is only here (a) as a Kaus-esque "this is the kind of thing people can do in their basement to swing votes" example and (b) because the second video didn't justify a whole post. We're not joking about this. This isn't like a dishonest nudge-nudge wink-wink thing where we disavow responsibility but post the video "just to air some questions." These quotes are almost certainly not true. If they were true, this would be a fantastic attack ad. But since they're probably not, it's just something that shows how a great attack ad might come together:

Also: have we mentioned that we've got the pretty girls on our side? Bonus points awarded to this young lady both for being a Fredhead and correctly identifying that Ron Paul is - from a strict clinical perspective - kind of crazy:

Not batshit crazy mind you. Just kind of unseemly vulgar populist crazy.

Update: Regrading the precise dose of truthiness in the first video, this got dropped into our inbox:
The quotes and statements, with the exception of the question at the end of the video, come from the book by Aaron Klein "Schmoozing with Terrorists: From Hollywood to the Holy Land, Jihadists Reveal their Global Plans - to a Jew!" Mr. Klein is World Net Daily's Jerusalem bureau chief] and are noted in the ending credits.
And now you know.
