Google Shuts Down Anti-Obama Sites on its Blogger Platform

  • Bookmark and Share

**UPDATE** BELOW FOLD

It looks 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. Boy, it must be nice for Barack Obama to have an ally powerful enough to silence his opponents like that!

It isn't just conservative sites that Google's Blogger platform is eliminating. For instance, www.comealongway.blogspot.com has been frozen and this one is a Hillary supporting site. The operator of Come a Long Way has a mirror site off the Blogspot platform and has today posted this notice:

I used to have a happy internet home on Blogger: www.comealongway.blogspot.com. Then on Wednesday night, June 25, I received the following e-mail:

Dear Blogger user,

This is a message from the Blogger team.

Your blog, at http://comealongway.blogspot.com/, has been identified as a potential spam blog. You will not be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and confirm that it is not a spam blog.

Sincerely,

The Blogger Team

It turns out that there is an interesting pattern where it concerns the blogs that Google's Blogspot team have summarily locked down on their service. They all belong to the Just Say No Deal coalition, a group of blogs that are standing against the Obama campaign. It seems the largest portion of these blogs are Hillary supporting blogs, too.

All I can say is, WOW! If Google is willing to abuse its power like this even against fellow leftists, what does it plan against conservatives, the folks Google hates even more!?

Here is a list of the Blogspot blogs that have been frozen by Google thus far:

**UPDATE**

I have been hesitant to post this update because 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. So, it looks like what we have here is an Obama dirty trick to shut down political opposition. Looks like Obmatons aren't much for that whole democracy thing, eh?

Once I find a link to an Obama site talking about this attack, I will post it.

Time to delete Google?

I have had it with Google's left wing bent and now they want to censor anything remotely right wing regarding their 'messiah' Osama Bama on their search engine? Is this a step toward internet socialism?

For me it's buh-bye Google! I'll find another search engine to install!

BTW - anyone waiting for the MSM to put blame regarding the spray-painting of 60 vehicles in Orlando with anti-Osama Bama messages on "crazed conservatives"? 

Watch, gang. It's going to happen!

Report Google to the FEC

Could squelching dissent be considered a campaign contribution to Obama?

What FEC?

The seats are empty at the FEC.  The Senate has refused to act on confirmation.  It is make your own rules time.

It has been very telling how happy the left is with the way things are for their side of things with regards to the FEC...during this campaign...eh?

WOW is right.

Guess it was an easy step to go from censoring the Chinese for the dictators in Beijing to censoring Americans for Google's own political agenda.

Can we go over the merits of other search engines again, please?  Until now, much as I hate to admit it, Google really seemed to be the best.  But it is clear that it is no longer trustworthy.

Dogpile does a nice job as

Dogpile does a nice job as a metasearch tool.  Unfortunately you can not opt out of Google searches/results.  If you use Dogpile you help Google keep their hit counter elevated.  You can use a search result from one of the other engines they utilize, but Google still gets a bean counted.

Google offers search results that sometimes are not readily duplicated by other search engines.  I just searched on a name and the desired result was high on Google's enumerated results but was absent from at least the first 5 pages of results from other search engines I looked at.

Google represents an ethical/moral dilema for some of us given their blatant censorship activities internationally (China), potentially blatant censorship activities nationally (the anti-Obama site freezes) and the bizarre and rather arcanely capricious recognition of certain holidays/births in their logo versus the absence of certain American holidays.

I am not trying to admonish or sway anyone to use or not use any particular search engine.  My earlier post was only pointing out that using Dogpile does not preclude patronizing Google.  Better to know up front what the deal is and then make an informed decision.

Looks like this is from Obama supporters ganging up and reporting sites they deem offensive as spam sites. Just laziness on Google's part. As for the Obama supporters, expect reeducation camps to be set up once he wins.

Ooooh.

Thanks, Golden.

By the way, I just tried to give Google a heads-up about this issue - that they may be mis-identifying legitimate websites as spam.  They have made it impossible to do so.  If they're going to fortify themselves to this extent, they deserve whatever bad publicity comes of this matter.

... and whatever headaches are coming their way as other political operatives take advantage of their laziness.

just uninstalled Google and installed www.goodsearch.com

Me too.

How do you uninstall a web site?

Oh yeah, you can't. If you disagree, just don't go to google.com.

The wolves have doffed their sheepskins

I think it's fair to say that pretty much all aspects of the MSM feel comfortable being blatant shills for the Obammessiah. They know that laws mean nothing if you're in the right people's pocket.

Wonder how many more of Just Say No Deal's partners are going to get the Google-axe?

These dirty SOB's on google

These dirty SOB's on google stopping free speech...

It is time to do something...what I don't know, but this is outrageous.

Where do you post to these leftist loving Obama lovers to let them know your outrage...as if it would do any good?

This is infuriating.

I hope Rush talks about this tomorrow, that would reach millions, about 20 million or so...plus some other conservative, adn yes maybe leftists talk show hosts...

Word need to get out about this big time...then usually after the radio talk shows and the internet sites complain loudly, it does get to the television screens...at least a word of three on Fox ect...they are the highest rated so word getting out there would be great too...

Anyway...I'm hoping something like this scenario would get the ball rolling...good job WTH, thanks so much for this maddening, let alone frightening info.

To me that is humorous in itself...

"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Wilson

We're mad at the situation

We're mad at the situation in our country and how the hypocrites on the other side either ignore the anti-free speech behavior of their allies, or actively participate in it.

For me, it's personal. My Father (God Rest his soul) who died earlier this year was a fanatical Bush Hater.... we could not talk politics without arguing as everything that came out of his mouth was repeating what the nutjobs who hate Bush are spouting every day. My mother (still with us) is the same way. Not only that, but she has no problem with people asking for the assassination of Bush, but if I would pose that someone should assassinate Obama (as an example, I don't believe that), she freaks out. I asked her what was the difference, and she said, Obama is a great man who will save America, and Bush is an evil that must be stopped at all costs. Now I do live in the Peoples Republic of Washington State, so I actually hear this kind of talk a lot. Another example would be the Smoking ban (even on private property).... my mother voted for that, and says "See, you just hate Democracy, this is Democracy, and you don't like it... you and all other Conservatives are the real Tyrants who don't want Democracy." I tried to explain that I want freedom more than I want Democracy, but that I would like a Democratic process for electing leaders. She spouted something about the patriot act and the conversationn was over.... we've lost all freedom due to the patriot act.... like all the "ACTS" before have kept us free... when I told her I did not support the civil rights acts.... she called me a racist.... even though I explained that those acts didn't grant freedom, they took it away, and that I support the idea that all people should get the same freedom granted by the Constitution.... I could go on, but it gets worse and I fear this may just begin to bore people.

But when I read what you guys write here.... and understand where we are headed.... it makes me angry.

By the way, I just found out I live in an Open Carry State (can carry a gun in a holster in the open without a license or permit). So I'm going to begin packing.... openly.... to show my solidarity with all true patriots. If we don't use it, people will forget we have it and we will lose it.

LBZ I can sympathize.

my parents are very much the same way. They both hated Bush 1hate Bush 2. The diatribes thankfully have ended probably more as a function of extreme old age as anything and as I refused to listen and be baited. I exploded with "you have got to be kidding" when they thought Pelosi would make a good President.

Leper Colony

Ho LBZ:

I belong to the "leper colony" of smokers, we "catch it" every day from people "who know better than you do whats for your own good", you'd be surprised how many of these "do gooders" claim to be "freedom loving conservative patriots". I don't argue the health issue, but as a free man i will decide "whats for my own good". I also disagree with "affirmitive action" and most of the liberal agenda. I'm surprised to hear you can openly carry a gun, my perspective is WA,ST. is one of the most lib in the country, so how did they(libs) let the open carry law slip by?? Anyway i respect and enjoy your post. Please remember, if your not willing and able to use that gun if you need it, you would be better off carrying a tire iron.

The Open Carry is in the

The Open Carry is in the Washington State Constitution, and contrary to popular belief, the Libs don't really control this state in terms of population. They just cheated their way into the Governors office by recounting until they won, then suing to stop any other recount, and they populate certain areas of the state and do some sneaky redistricting to gain very unfair advantages.

Like most libs... they cheat. But they've never had a majority and could never re-write the Constitution of this state no matter how much they hate it... but they certainly try as often as they can.

And they call the police on me and others like me all the time, and the police harrass us... but that is becoming less and less of an issue, since now, we threaten to sue... so they just tell the 911 callers that we have a WS and US Constitutional right to carry. The libs freak out.

That's funny

Here at the other end of the country (Fla.) We aren't allowed to open carry. No problem getting a license to carry, but it MUST be concealed. 

This has an interesting effect. Criminals don't know who is armed, so it forces them to assume that anyone COULD be armed.

When the law passed, statewide violent crime dropped by 10% and it kept dropping until after Katrina, then there was a sharp up-tick in perps being shot to death by their would be victims.  I guess those liberal newcomers hadn't heard about the new law. ;0)

Class Action Lawsuit

This seems like a situation that is tailor-made for an ambitious lawyer looking to a) perform some social good, and b) make a name for him/herself. Take the lead in putting together a class-action lawsuit charging Google with political bias, and at the very least, garner some negative press toward Google, at best, make them relent and issue appropriate public apologies.

Google blogs have a "flag

Google blogs have a "flag this" feature that anyone can use to report a blog. I'm guessing if a blog is flagged, it automatically revokes posting priveleges until someone from Google reviews them. Not trying to stick up for Google, trust me, but if they were truly trying to silence these blogs, they wouldn't have left them up. More than likely it was an Obama supporter trying to take them down by reporting them. Since they are still up, and since at least one blog confirmed it has had posting priveleges returned, it would seem they failed.

I am pretty sure...

It is not "automatic." Someone at Blogger has to do the shutting down.

Maybe "standard procedure"

Maybe "standard procedure" would be a better term, then?

"It is not "automatic."

"It is not "automatic." Someone at Blogger has to do the shutting down."

Well, I did say "I'm guessing" it is automatic. As was said below, maybe "standard procedure" is the better word. My original point stands though: if they wanted to stifle anti-Obama speech, they wouldn't have left them up for the world to see, nor would they have restored posting privileges.

 

That's a pretty reasonable

That's a pretty reasonable explanation, ckc. So, this is really just an example of how much Obama's backers are willing to stifle dissent to get their way. And here comes the "Fairness" Doctrine.

And they call US "fascists."

"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Wilson

I wouldn't go as far as

I wouldn't go as far as saying its a violation of the First Amendment. If this were the government shutting down these blog sites, then absolutely I would be agreeing with you there.

But really, Google is well within their rights to shut down any blog it hosts. They could tell you they think your font size is too big and shut you down for that and you really couldn't do anything about it. Basically, its their utility and they are just letting you use it.

I looked at a few of the blogs. While I don't agree with what they are saying, I personally don't find them qualifying as "spam".

So I think its plum foolish for Google to go around shutting down blogs like this, even if they have the legal right. Because all they are going to do is draw negative publicity on themselves, make themselves out to be advocates of censorship and draw attention to these blogs that most people would never have known about in the first place.

Cureboy and BT, you're right

It's not a First Amendment violation for Google to censor anti-Savior blogs that they host.  But it is bad business to alienate a sizeable section of their customers.  Just as the MSM does and they wonder why their numbers continue to decrease!

Anyway, Bigtimer, Google doesn't host my blog and it would take more than a bunch of California girly men to silence the Angry White Dude....lol.

There you go. Luckily we

There you go. Luckily we still live in a country where you can do that. If you own the website you can do whatever the heck you like. You can rant, you can rave, you can even put up dirty movies (and please let me know if you do).

There's nothing harmful or inciteful in those anti-Obama sites. And, honestly, if Google is in the tank for Obama, they are pretty damn stupid to shut those sites down. Because it gives those sites all kinds of free publicity and makes them known to many more people. I never would have heard of any of those sites if it wasn't for Mr Huston's post. So Google pretty much shot themselves in the foot on this one.

 

THey worked for me

I just went out and they all seemed to work from your links....

Has anyone else tried then recently

You didn't read the posting

I think you aren't clear on what is going on here. No one said the sites were eliminated from the Internet. I specifically said that the owners of the blogs were locked out from posting on them. THAT is the way they were shut down.

The Deliberate and Methodical Silencing of the Right

I stopped using Google as a search engine a long time ago, when I discovered George Soros has a huge financial interest in the place, and I sincerely regret that is where my blog is located, too.

Another thing, the use of the word "Google" by all manner of newscaster, journalist, comedian, and late night talk show host has become akin to the use of the word "Kleenex" and stopping this generic usage of the word to represent a search engine should begin immediately.  The term "search engine" should always be used as there are lots of them out there.

Yeah, it's a cute word, invented by Dr Brown's ten-year-old son to represent a "1" with 100 zeros after it, but to toss it about so willy-nilly is really infuriating.  That's one of the reasons it became so popular, by on-air talking heads saying, "Google it."

I checked my blog, all is well, so far.  However; should it be identified as a "spam blog" (I belong to no outside affiliates, my blog is a solo effort with no advertisements, either), my attorney (hopefully with some unknown ACLU connections for the ultimate in sarcasm and irony) has been put on stand-by, this NewsBusters article in-hand, regarding this situation and Google will have to pay for unquestioningly infringing, with malice and aforethought, on my First Amendment rights.

I hope all those blogs affected are currently in the process of speaking with their attorney's, too.

Democrats of the extreme variety, Obama supporters, specifically - If they disagree with you, they will do everything, legal and illegal, to silence you.

Where are we?  The old Soviet Union?  Putin's (Medvedev) Russia? Iran?  Cuba?  North Korea?  China?  Under Taliban rule?

Every right-wing site I have ever visited tolerates the inane voice of the left.  No blocking, no banning, just completely free speech.  The left, as is proven time and time again, will NOT tolerate differing points of view.  Tow the line, submit to group think, be brainwashed completely or you will suffer consequences never imagined.  That's how the extreme left conducts their (un)reasonable and (ir)rational usual business.

It is odd, though, that Google will shut down opposing political voices but is happy to allow pedophiles to continue their blogs with postings of recruitment and where to go to find children to violate.

Will Letterman or Leno crack a joke about this most egregious violation of the First Amendment on their shows Monday night?  Will the MSM pick this up and expose this outrageous (and completely accepted by the left) practice?

Don't count on it.

Media in the Tank for BHO-do you think?

And so continues the gutting of the first amendment by the pro Barak  Obama folks that control media. So far we have been told that we can't call him liberal,we cant talk about his wife,we cant even use his middle name because that is hurtful and racist or so i have heard For a guy  who has such great strength and potential he sure has alot of people watching his back-like the whole mainstream media.Where would he be without them?

I tried it with my older version of IE, and apparently that version doesn't have the security warning plugin that the new version does. I don't upgrade my IE very often since I only use it when a site won't load properly for Firefox, which I very rare these days.

Yahoo?

What do you all think of switching to a publicly traded
search engine like Yahoo and then buying as much of the
stock as we can, so we can complain as share holders
when they screw up?

Google is a for profit

Google is a for profit company. It bends backwards for its customers. We are not its customers - left is its customers. Therefore Google will continue overtly or covertly help left... Protesting Google is a waste of time - Google's positions are based on economics.

Conservatives MUST wake up and smell the coffee - we are letting left shape the discussion and control the information. The only way to change this is to be better customer than left.

my thoughts

It's possible that all of these blogs are being unfairly flagged as spam - but it doesn't sound like that's the whole story. If that was the case then it would seem they would do that all over the internet and we'd be getting stories about blogs shut down everywhere.

WTH could you maybe sniff around to see if there are similar complaints coming from Yahoo Answers, Live Journal, or Wordpress? If it's truly a unique phenomenon coming from Google that should be easy to surmise.

The problem with the internet is that Americans have just aimlessly started growing it with the assumption that free speech will thrive. We need to stop taking that for granted. We really need to start patroning more sites like NB and more alternative search engines. Many conservies say "yeah Google is annoying but they're the best engine out there." Well we need to start choosing between the world's conveniences and protecting our values. Time for people to wake up and realize the world is not on our side.

I can...

I can tell you right now, I have heard of this "mark as spam" problem with Google a lot. It is always political sites (usually conservative ones) that get hit this way.

But I have never heard of it happening on any other platform but Google.

Well, there is one sure way

Well, there is one sure way to force Google to rectify the problem...hit the spam button on pro-Obama sites.  Until the Obamatrons whine Google will do nothing.  Don't cite concerns for Democracy and muffling free speech since that concept was shown to be a farce by Google and the MSM anyway.

Is there a list of pro-Obama sites on Google like you had for anti-Obama sites?

No problem yet on LiveJournal

I've been on LiveJournal for four years and I have posted or visited LJs with conservative content. So far, no problems.

This kinda of worries me...

Because I am a Conservative Blogger, I can't change my user name or I would... 

Anyhow, if anyone wants to donate to the cause, so, I can get Wordpress and get a domain and get my OWN hosting. 

I can get  24 Month or 2 year hosting plan for $479.00 through GloHost. 

Help a full time Blogger out! Please! HALP! 8-D

... and this was exactly my

... and this was exactly my point. Domains can be had 24 hours a day for under $15/year. Hosting can be had for as little as $2/month. And instead of spending money and being a consumer the way left does, right begs for donations to start, followed by scratching the head when companies that supply these services support their customers that happened to be left-wing.

Right will lose the battle for Internet the same way as left lost its battle for the Talk Radio...

I had a blogspot site once,

I had a blogspot site once, but when Google took it over, I deleted it. I'd rather not associate myself with scum.

Ugh. I don't know which is

Ugh. I don't know which is worse. Google shutting these sites down because Google wants to shut them up. Or Google shutting them down because a bunch of Obama people sent a bajillion claims that an anti-Obama website was spam.

I mean really, people. Can we please grow up? If you are *that* worried about your candidates chances that you have to sabotage a dozen anti-Obama sites, then you might as well give it up.

Totally immature.

An Eye For An Eye...

I'm sure I'm not the first person to bring this up, but just in case, how about we assault all pro-Obama sites in the same way? Just find them and then wear out our mice on the 'Report Spam' button and see just how fast Google shuts, er, "freezes" those blogs, eh?

I'm not buying into this whole "Oh well we didn't freeze these sites because they were anti-Obama, but because they were marked as spam sites."

Riiiiight.

I find it extremely hard to believe that the most powerful 'net entity in the free world would be so Mickey-Mouse as to be fooled by a bunch of whackjobs clicking on a button. What? Google hasn't thought of this before?

Again, I'm not buying this excuse, but to be fair, I say again, we test this theory out and hammer away at the spam buttons on all pro-Obama blogs and see just how fast those get shut dow, er, "frozen".

Maybe they cooled off

I launched a less than flattering blog about Obama.  So far, it hasn't been taken down:

we'll see what happens.
