How do you explain that many ratings and so few views?

You can't rate the video without viewing it.

Let me guess....the people rated it over and over again right?  ::)

I have no idea.  Are you suggesting youtube is conspiring to suppress the number of times a Ron Paul clip has been viewed?

This has been discussed before.  I don't think the Paul videos are the only videos to have had their view count manipulated, but is quite strange that his get hit like that.

The lower the count the more buried the video gets, therefore there is less of a chnace for people to watch the video. Considering the video is calling for a march to Washington to protest, I can see why it would be.

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but why isn't the view counter changing?

When there's just a few things like this.  One here or there, it could be argued it's just coincidence but this there is so much of this it's insane.  Myspace blocked Ron Paul completely.  If you post on Ron Paul, your account is blocked and you have to get it unlocked.  Over and over, the stories of this happening to Ron Paul material are many.  When it's constant, it becomes a point and not just coincidence.

What do you mean blocked Ron Paul?  They removed his myspace page?

YES YES YES!!! Nothing odd about this type of conspiring.  people have their political bias and lots of companies have been known to pull shit like this.  It's not like we're arguing a Pearl Harbor conspiracy here.  This is a pretty minor and easy to pull off CT here and could just be one bias prick working for youtube.  The low count keeps it from rising to the top and being viewed more.  The extreme in the count from the comments is very odd and could very well be intentional.  It looks even more intentional when this story is seen over and over in association with Ron Paul.  At this point, how many times I've seen this with Ron Paul's material, it must be astronomical, the odds that it's just coincidence.

No if you post something on Ron Paul your account gets blocked.  And that's just to your friends.  If you post something like hey I'm going to see Ron Paul today, who else is coming.  BLOCKED.  I saw it happen over and over and over.  You then have to unblock your account and if you try again, it's blocked again.

Lots of people noticing. Basically all the old posts are being erased with new ones so no more pages are being created.

Someone posted that they emailed youtube and that the error will be fixed in 24 hours. Who knows but this is fucked cause theres a new post every 10 sec or so, so that means the view count would be huge for a 24 hour period. :-\
