Blogs shut down by Obama supporters returning online

Posted on 08/05/2008 12:07:04 PM PDT by mainestategop

As some of you may know, Obama supporters have been going around censoring blogs critical of Obama by marking them as Spam. Several blog hosts have recieved a slew of complaints from Bloggers and their supporters over the shut downs and have begun to investigate. I got word from the host of my blog that they have been correcting problems concerning blogs shut down due to being incorrectly marked as spam. I haven't had that problem since most of my blog has to do with Maine and exposing liberal corruption but they're getting the message.

People need to continue to email and complain to blog hosts demanding that they stop allowing Democrats to silence free speech and critical thinking. Demand that if they don't stop censorship we will boycott them and their advertisers if they have any. We should also use this as an oppertunity to expose who the real fascists are. Furthermore, more people should get involved in speaking out against Obama. For every blog the left shuts down, 2 more will come up the next day.

Amazing isn't it. Republican neo-cons are supposed to be the ones condemning dissent as treason, advocating despotism and silencing critics of Bush and it turns out they're the ones silencing dissent and critical thinking. Well we the American people are not going to be silent no matter what.

Obama is starting to show his colors and the colors of those who want him in office for their own personal agenda.

Cutting off freedoms of the internet would be the first step in silencing the dissenters.

Please don’t let it happen.

The MSM has been wooed to the Obama camp - we have only the internet to voice our opinions - and this doesn’t reach all the people.

Home of the Free? Not any more.

Will someone please explain to me how Person ‘B’ can “censor” the “Blog” of Person ‘A’ by “marking” it as “spam”?

Thank you.

condemning dissent as treason

Don't forget the nature of the crowd we're dealing with. They're not condemning dissent as treason, they're condemning dissent as heresy.

I’m not surprised the Rats resort to such tactics since they can’t compete honestly in the arena of ideas!

Treason and heresy are, respectively, secular and religious branches of the same tree, are they not?

Does ‘spam’ mean the site was ‘spamvertized’??? How does a website get confused with junk email?

blogger.com has a button on each blog that users can hit to indicate "this blog is spam" (a little like the "report abuse" button on FR)

It appears that if enough people hit the "flag" button, the blog automatically gets shut down, instead of some human being detailed to look into it

Thank you.

As you can no doubt discern, I do not spend much time on “blog” sites.

The left is, was and always will be intolerant, oppressive fascists and hypocrites.

These are the people who love Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez, Che, Kim Il Ding Dong and God knows who else.

The left simply hates America and will do whatever they think or feel to destroy it. The left is in bed with the Islamofascists and wants the total destruction of Western civilization.

The very idea and premise of leftism is pernicious and destructive and based on envy and a whining, self-righteous and self-pitying, self-indulgent and delusional preceived victimhood.

The left is as dangerous, if not more so than Islamofascism.

Ah yes... How could we forget that now.

John Mccain is an opponent of net neutrality and has advocated regulating the internet. Don't forget he also opposed the first amendment.
