Apparently, one of my YouTube videos was posted on HillBuzz.org by Kevin DuJan on September 30, 2011.
The title of the video: "Candidate Palin"
Uploader of the video: "shellymic" (Me.)
Title of the article:
When have presidential candidates announced their campaigns for the White House?
Notice this line, which is the first line underneath my video in the HillBuzz article ("h/t" = hat tip):
h/t our friend Rose for this great video.
And, since I'm the one that did all of the research for my video, and all that is below is a regurgitation of the info that is in my video, I don't feel much of a need to "credit" it's "source," but I just did.

Here's my video, which everyone with access to the internet can see wasn't made by "Rose":
Beneath the article on HillBuzz, "Rose" appears to take credit for my video. Here's the 1st part of the comment that "Rose" left beneath the article:
Glad ya like it! We all feel the angst - the media exacerbates it. And so we buy into it. No one wants to be let down, and so many are afraid to get their hopes up, which gives that media angst extra power.You can read the rest of "Rose's" comment HERE.
I'm happy that HillBuzz posted my video, that's for sure. I am a little confused about the way it is credited, however. Oh well.
*********************UPDATE**********************
A moderator from HillBuzz.org has posted a comment beneath this post and I have posted a reply to her. You can read both comments below.
Just in case I ever change the comment format on this blog, I've also decided to include both of our comments in this post.
From Kathleen Gee, moderator at HillBuzz.org:
Hi Shelly,
I'm one of the moderators of HillBuzz.org. I didn't post the video you created, but in all likelihood, a reader named Rose sent one of us a link to it, so we gave her a hat tip for making us aware of it. I have updated the post to reflect that the video is your work.
Thanks for putting it out there to help inform the rest of us.
Kindly,
Kathleen Gee
My reply to Kathleen:
Cool, Kathleen. A couple of hours after I made this post I thought about amending it with a "note" that this post was really just made as a reminder to myself that my video was even ON your site. (I made another similar post a few days ago...about a lefty blog that made fun of one of my vids: http://nebraskattitude.blogspo... ) I got side-tracked and didn't get it done. I will be sure to update my post to, at the very least, send people to this comment section to see your response.
It wasn't really clear from "Rose" whether or not she was taking credit for sending it to you or for creating it and because of that, I didn't "blast" her, or you.
Either way, I'm sure it received more views than it would have had it not been posted on your site at all. For that, I am thankful. Too bad more people didn't see it. It's at 891 views right now. :\
I really, really appreciate your response. Thank you very much.
