America-We-Stand-As-One-Gate

Remember the video from Dennis Madalone - "America We Stand As One" first reported here?

And then, of course, we were offered "America We Stand as One / F*CK Yeah!" mash-up video, frist reported here.

Well, now the original artist has responded. The creator of the mash-up video forwarded this to me:

My name is Dennis Madalone. I recently viewed your video
http://www.wonkette.com/politics/patriotism/index.php#america-we-kick-
ass-as-one-039439 featuring my visuals and I must say I'm flattered.
However, I think you may have misunderstood the message. It was not
just a pro america campaign, it was also remembrance for the loved ones
we lost, during the war and 9-11.

As I do not want the rest of the nation to get confused because you
decided to use me as your singer in your version of the video, people
are asking me if I created the remix, and I am getting some very
negative feedback. I will be posting on my website that I had no part
of the video and want to make one request if I may so I may link your
video from my website. In order to do this, I respectfully request that
you please edit-out the scene with added face from the baby at the
grave site for the message struck me and my family very hard. That
baby is no longer with us and if the parents of their lost newborn were
to catch glimpse, I think you could imagine the consequences I would
have to face in explaining to the family why I would make a parody
video poking fun at their lost son. Im asking you to please be kind and
caring on this matter, it is causing much pain in our family.

Thank you for understanding,

Dennis Madalone and my family
