It [seems] like Google has officially joined the Barack Obama campaign and decided that its contribution would be to shut down any blog on the Google owned Blogspot.com blogging system that has an anti-Obama message. Yes, it sure seems that Google has begun to go through its many thousands of blogs to lock out the owners of anti-Obama blogs so that the noObama message is effectively squelched. Thus far, Google has terminated the access by blog owners to 7 such sites and the list may be growing.
I cannot find a link to prove the claim, but it is starting to look like this Blogspot shut down of anti-Obama sites occurred because of a concerted effort by Obama supporters.
What they did was go to the Blogspot addresses found on the site of the NoObama coalition called Just Say No Deal and constantly hit the "mark as spam" link so that Google's Blogger would be flooded with spam warnings. This caused Google/Blogger to freeze the sites marked.
Apparently, this campaign merely took advantage of Google/Blogger's flawed system of finding spam blogs.- Blue Lyon @ http://bluelyon.blogspot.com

For the record, Cap'n of Blasphemes doesn't care for ANY of our choices -- Pepsi or Coke.
I mean, Obama or McCain. They're both connected to very powerful lobbies (Chicago, and the GOP)-- they're both dangerously unqualified to lead the United States in this time of global uncertainty (one's a rookie, the other's just dangerous) -- they both contain High Fructose Corn Syrup... (meaning they're both tied into Big Corn) and I'm trying to cut that out of my diet, thank you.
And BTW, RC sucks too.

Excuse me?! Apologize?
There is nothing to take a man's freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers.
I guard my treasures: my thought, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.
You have no proof or any examples, but yet you choose to point fingers.
I have no proof that you rape and murder 4 year olds, but that doesn't stop me from calling you a kiddy diddler.
Seeing as how all the cutn'pasted elements still link to active blogs... I see your point Mr. Anon Ymous.
However, Mr. Ymous, I think if you click on the link to the original story... you'll the original work from Warner Todd Huston.
Oh, hell - it doesn't look like you know how to do that so :

Proof? There you go.
you got nothing to worry about, you are not a Pro-Hillary site.
After looking at te examples you listed - they all are hillary fan sites.
You are insane.
Yes - thanks. You must be reading the main page.
Meanwhile, even if this is just a story of a couple of Blogs knocked out because of some people hitting the spam button -- shouldn't there be a human checking into those claims, and a chance to defend him/herself?
Otherwise, it's not just a funny way to knock someone out.
I like turtles!
