Cain’s new vid shows baby rabbit shooting; Update: YouTube squabble?

Herman Cain needs to quit listening to his video people. Just because it generates "buzz" doesn't mean it's good. politicalwire.com/archives/2012/…—

We’re not sure what exactly Herman Cain is trying to promote here in this new video, despite the end message discussing too much stimulus money. One thing is for sure, he just offended animal rights activists nationwide.

UPDATE (4): YouTube removed this video earlier this morning due to policy violations, but has now allowed it back on the website. During this, Herman Cain tweeted about the situation and his post is below along with the video.

This is free speech, this is free speech under #YouTube. I have some questions! #SOS http://t.co/GKOmPkU4—

YouTube said that the removal was a mistake. ”Occasionally, a video flagged by users or identified by our spam team is mistakenly taken down. When this is brought to our attention, we review the content and take appropriate action, including reinstating videos that had been removed,” a YouTube spokesperson told POLITICO.

Here is the original video that was posted:

(Warning: Some parts of this video are very graphic.)

@mattklewis that demonstrates why he was unfit for office. A good man, but fundamentally unserious. And shows poor judgement.—

When I was as old as the girl in Herman Cain's new vid, my family nickname was "Rabbit." So this is extra disturbing. youtu.be/EdpN5C1_flQ—
