Disturbing things happening in the NObama blogosphere

Posted on June 26, 2008 by nobamablog

Last night I received an email from Blogger:

Your blog, at http://nobamablog.blogspot.com/, has been identified as a potential spam blog. For an explanation of what spam blogs are, please see Blogger Help: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42577

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. To request a review, please fill out the form found here: (removed)

We will take a look at your blog and unlock it within four business days. Please note that if we do not hear from you within 20 days, we will remove your blog. If this blog does not belong to you, then you do not have to do anything. Any other blogs you may have will not be affected.

Since you are an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not spam. We find spam by using an automated classifier. Automatic spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and occasionally a blog is flagged incorrectly. We sincerely apologize for this erroneous result. By using this kind of system, however, we can dedicate more storage, bandwidth, and engineering resources to users like you instead of to spammers.

Thank you for your understanding and for your help in our spam-fighting efforts.

Sincerely,

The Blogger Team

OK, I guess a bot’s gotta do what a bot’s gotta do. Lord knows we in the NObama blogosphere know all about bots.

I do have many links on the blog, and several of them pointed back to Digg articles. But I handled the NObama Blog the exact same way that I did when I used to have an UnofficialRonPaul2008Blog on Blogger. The Ron Paul blog existed for 10 months, and not once in all of that time did I get a complaint from Blogger about “spamming.”

But the funny and interesting thing about it is what I learned when I posted about it on the Hillary Clinton Forum last night: Blogger did not just lock down my blog, but several other anti-Obama blogs as well!

This is a taste of what America will be like under a Barack Obama administration. The Obamabots are already cozy in bed with CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets. The blogosphere is about the only resource voters have for learning the truth that the MSM is not reporting.

Now they intend to try to take that away from Americans, too!

But they won’t win without a fight.

    That is horribly frightening. I tried to go to What Suddenly blog on blogger earlier and it too was locked down.

    This certainly seems to be a concerted effort to suppress anti-Obama views. Over in China they have already banned Clintons4McCain. This is a bad trend.

    This guy can’t get elected!

    At least the slimy thugs aren’t getting away with it completely. I saw the headline on LGF, and immediately posted your story on two other blogs.
    Maybe this will have the unintended consequence of bringing more traffic to your site? The Libs are masters of unintended consequences!

    Hi — writing to you from WhatSuddenly which, as you noticed, has been shut down by Blogger. Any suggestions on what we can do about this?! We’re a new blog with few links but we are certainly linked to to JustSayNoDeal and PUMA.

    Thank you both for your support and comments! Keep spreading the word…voters will need to know what Obamerica would be like. The MSM won’t tell them so it’s up to us!

    I just coined the word “Blogstallnacht” for the occasion. Feel free to use it!

    My blog also got locked down. I am keeping track of the censored blogs on my NEW domain name:

    Nobama,
    1 Week after I started up PDOP, The New American Disenfranchisement was linked to an article on HuffPO, within 3 hours my blog was marked as spam and shut down. Having a large number of google shares I went directly to investor services and threatened to sell off our stock. Within 12 hours I was back up, 4 hours later the huffpo bloggers started visiting the site and WHAM – shut down again. Apparently, the google software uses the navbar at the top of your page to allow readers to flag objectionable or spam blogs. Too many flags and the bot shuts you out.
    Obamabots have been doing this for some time to pro-hillary and pro-McCain sites across blogger. Visit my site and send me a private email. I have the private email address to one of the blogger techs. He got my blog back up within hours and I haven’t had a problem since. Also, search the blogger help groups and you will find a HTML code that you can load onto your blog to remove the blogger NAVBAR with the flag button on it. Good Luck,

    Jarid

    I moved to Word Press…you can import your post so you won’t lose any of that…it is just moving the links and WP is different…

    Jarid,

    I love your blog…I read it a lot and have quoted from it numerous times!

    Many thanks for the comment!

    not a dem,

    Thanks for the comment. I started a Word Press blog earlier today. I haven’t moved anything yet, I’m still trying to get used to it! Cross your fingers for me…I’m just barely computer literate!

  11. not a dem anymore, on June 26th, 2008 at 7:50 pm Said:

    I am having to learn it too…if you need help maybe I can, maybe I can’t…but I will try…here is my new place…

    http://mccaindemocrats.wordpress.com/

    It is kind of a whole new world for me at WP.

  12. a NObama Blogspot contributor, on June 26th, 2008 at 7:57 pm Said:

    Thanks! Give me a holler if you need help, too…I’ll do what I can!

    Here’s the URL for my new place:

    It doesn’t look like anything yet…I’m just getting started!

  13. not a dem anymore, on June 26th, 2008 at 8:01 pm Said:

    I will add it to my blog roll!

    They messed up because this just pulled us closer together…

  14. The Lizard, on June 27th, 2008 at 7:21 am Said:

    My blog, “The Political Lizard” has also been identified by Google as a Spam Blog and locked down.

    Apparently our sites are generating enough traffic to cause discomfort to the Obama backers at Google.

    Like your site, The Lizard will not be shut down, it will just move to an alternate site that respects free speech and open discussion.

  15. Lizard in Exile, on June 27th, 2008 at 9:31 am Said:

    The Political Lizard has moved to

    Hope those Bots leave us alone!!
