It’s bad enough that most media outlets are falling over silly for Obama, but now it seems Google has joined the fast moving train of Obama supporters.
Initially, I didn’t believe the reports that the Obama campaign was intentionally shutting down blogs because these blogs were questioning the validity of Obama’s birth certificate. That was until I received an email from Dr. Mitchell Langbert last night, a blogger and Professor at Brooklyn College, who advised that Google has placed a temporary hold on future posts at his website.
Following of my posting of the Obama birth certificate petition that Contrarimaiiri posted, Google/Blogspot has Locked Me out of my Blog. This occurred sometime today. They sent me a message that the Blog was reported as a spam blog, and they are preventing postings pending their review of my blog.
After blogging for about a year at Google/Blogspot, Mitchell, who utilizes the blog for mostly academic studies, also delves into the political arena and identifies himself as a Republican. He recently posted a blog regarding his inquiry into obtaining a true copy of Obama’s birth certificate and followed it up by posting a petition that compels Obama to produce his birth records to the Illinois public.
I suppose that was the last straw for Obama and Google/Blogspot.
Mitchell is not alone, as reported by Pamela Gellar at Atlas Shrugs, there are now eight known sites that have been blocked.

Activists joining the fast moving Obama train, without regard for truth or freedom, will derail fast!
Scary, indeed. I guess this issue of Obama’s birth certificate may be bigger than we thought, if they would go to the extent of shutting down free information, and dissenting views that could very well derail his camapaign. Radicals on the left are more and more now deliberately shutting down discourse, as they did at Columbia U by violently storming the stage to silence Minuteman founder Jim Gichrist. Recently Dept chair Rashid Khalidi declared Daniel Pipes has no right to speak on campus. The new tactics of the radical left seems to be that when you are losing an argument, use your power and authrotiy to muzzle your opponent, and trample his views.
