Anti-Obama Bloggers Have Their Sites Shut Down

August 5, 2008

This is the story of an anti President Obama blogger who had his blog suddenly shut down after posting an on-line petition to have President Obama release his birth certificate. Google (who hosts his blog) claims that the blog was marked as spam because of the petition and was reopened the next day. But this is not the first time that a blog critical of President Obama has been shut down.

the incident and earlier Web log freezes in late June have led Mr. Langbert and other anti-Obama bloggers to accuse the Illinois senator’s supporters of intentionally identifying their blog addresses to Google as spam blogs. They also say the company has reflexively suspended the sites.

“These tech-savvy smart alecks have figured out that if you report a blog you don’t like, you can do some damage to a person,” Mr. Langbert said.

 Both explainations seem plausible, but I have had this nagging question in the back of my mind for a few weeks and this just helps to make it more than just a nagging question. Sure, this could have been a mistake, but was it more than that?

 I know it sounds paranoid to state that this could be a concerted effort to shut down the voices of those that disagree with President Obama, but could it be? Remember, we have had numerous Democrats come out and say that the fairness doctrine is something that needs to be re-examined. The fairness doctrine is designed to shut down conservative talk radio and that is why Democrats are in favor of it. So is it so out of character for them to want to go after bloggers next? I don’t think so.

 That is the nagging question that has had me thinking for a few weeks before I read this story. If Democrats are ready to try and shut down conservative talk radio, could bloggers be next? It appears that this could really be the case.

 Bloggers have no “checks and balances”, there is no editor or fact checker. Someone can simply write whatever they want and it is out there for everyone to read, so if Democrats are so interested in shutting down talk radio it is only natural that they will come after bloggers eventually.

 Let us not forget that it was a blogger who took down one of the left’s own in Dan Rather. The left tried to downplay the blogger’s story about the forged documents that Dan Rather used to try to take down a sitting president but they couldn’t. The blogger was right. Democrats haven’t forgotten that lesson and when the time comes I am certain that heavy restrictions and regulations will be imposed on bloggers when the Democrats gain control of every branch of government.

 It is only natural and the next logical step.

    Given the fact that Obama appeals to the younger crowd who tend to act in a less mature manner, there might not be a conspiracy by the democrats or Obama.

    I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt at this time though it is something to keep an eye. If it was possible to game Google system to have Bush show up when you searched for “complete failure”, this is not too far out of the realm of possibility.

    I honestly think that this wasn’t an effort by Obama supporters or Google, but you never know. I will also be keeping my eyes open.

    Barack H. Obama

    Barack Obama Attorney by Profession a Democrat yet to complete his first term in Club 100 Elite US Senate. Belongs to a very rich, politically well connected ferocious fraternity of 880,000 Licensed Lawyers (Liars) who have made America Legally corrupt and legally racist. 80,000 alone are in 8,000 Sq miles New Jersey which is world’s most corrupt & racist state under Pro Israeli Rulers. Obama who claims to be a Civil Right Lawyer, in 9 years of active license in Illinois never handled a Trial and mostly worked in teams of lawyers who drew up briefs and contracts in all the cases.

    Senator Barack Obama a very eloquent & passionate speaker, hate his middle name and got his childhood rewritten with some literary help to become a Born again Christian. He is the most radical liberal Senator in the US Senate, if elected he will go down in the history as First Radical Liberal President of America under Israeli rulers.

    Obama spent first 10 years of his life practicing Islam, next 15+ in wilderness with no religion and then found a radical priest to spend the next 20 years with him to become a born again Christian. Obama claims his 20+ year’s very intimate association with his spiritual advisor and mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright has been a very healthy one. In the presence of Obama Rev Wright has been teaching in his Church; AIDS in the world is American creation, 9/11 white Americans brought it on them selves, all the problems of Blacks are American White created so rather saying God Bless America his followers including Obama must say Goddamn America. But recently in May 2008 he dumped this Priest for Presidential Ambitions after making a statement like he can not dump his white Grand Mother same way he can not dump his spiritual advisor and mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

    Obama who lacks core convictions learn politics with slum Lord Tony Rezko’s money & Rev Wright’s preaching to establish a record in Illinois’s State & US Senate; Present Only votes on very important issues rater than Yes or No to avoid controversial decisions that could be used against him later. In US Senate he has missed more than one in 5 votes. The day he entered US Senate he started his Presidential Campaign. Only one of the measurers Obama sponsored as US Senator was enacted; a bill to promote relief, security and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo!

    Obama for 17 months ran his Campaign by spending over a $1 billion on Anti-War Platform by talking austerity and smaller government. It is an open secret when it comes to Israel/Jews; every American Politician can drop their Pants or Skirts before the blink of an eye and start crawling on their knees for them. Obama not to be left behind from this Bandwagon after taking almost $3 million from Israeli cartel in Feb. 2008 (figures for March to June not available) started going to every Jewish Synagogue & Temple to address 15 to 50 Jews to win their trust.

    After winning Democrat nomination, very first morning on June 4 TH 2008 at AIPAC Obama flushed down the toilet his Anti-War Platform of 17 months. Obama left behind every US Politician in praising passionately and eloquently Israel and its corrupt, quasi criminal and possible mass murderer Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Obama created a history by saying undivided Jerusalem for Isreal; which no US President or Presemptive President has ever spoken or suggested even in sign language. This means there can never be any peace in that region and Israeli’s will continue their illegal occupation of Palestine for centuries to come.

    All of the above and association with radical Rev. Wright & slum lord Rezko certainly makes Obama an authority on Economy, Religion, intra Race relations, Family values, Defense/National Security, Foreign Relations, Morality, Ethics and Good Governance.

    Blogger had a glitch that caused tons of legitimate blogs to be flagged as spam. I had one flagged that didn’t even have any content on it yet.

    I think there could be a little jumping to conclusions on this one.

    Pinky-

    Like I tell my buddies Big Dog and Swines- You’d better take it easy on the policework. And the reefer. Your conspiracy theory is scaring me…

    …almost as much as this dave character. Yo dude- I want some of what you’re on. Did somebody tell you all that shit or did you make it up yourself? Either way, it’s pretty creative…

    No drugs for me deciders (just beer). I did write in a comment to Terrant that I didn’t believe that this was a conspiracy. But I will still be watching closely.

    Dave Makkar should start a blog. I’d read it. I guarantee it’d be funnier than Leno, Letterman or anything else on TV.

    Please Dave, do it for the good of America!
