The Blogs Gone Missing

My last article was called A Conspiracy of Silence. It would now seem that we have a conspiracy to enforce silence. So far two major blogs posting about the natural born citizenship required of Presidents have gone silent.
My last article was called A Conspiracy of Silence, but perhaps I misnamed it. It would now seem that we have a conspiracy to enforce silence.
So far two major blogs who have been dealing with the natural born citizenship required of Presidents have gone silent.
The first to go was the site of Leo C. Donofrio at www.blogtext.org. This is the gentleman who filed the lawsuit challenging the natural born citizenship of both McCain and Obama and others.
This is the one that is scheduled for a full conference the Supreme Court. The next to go was one of the sites of PyroThePolitical at http://contributors.blogsome.com.
He has several postings in the Reader’s Articles on Real Clear Politics. The ones linking to Wordpress are active but if you click on the Obama Birth Certificate tag, you get error 503.
When you attempt to link to either of these sites, all you get is a network busy message. At first I thought it was just because these sites were overloaded with too many people trying to get on, but at 3 AM in the morning? I don’t think so.
They may very well be under what hosting sites call a denial of service attack. That means that they are being bombarded with artifically generated requests for communication that ties up the server so that it cannot process normal legitimate traffic.
Apparently PyroThePolitical had the temerity to post an article on Real Clear Politics about the citizenship issue. It got enough votes that it reached the front page there but now it has been deleted from the list of submissions as if it never existed.
Most of us who are registered with Real Clear Politics have seen articles dealing with issues regarding President-Elect Obama in a negative way magically disappear.
We have also seen articles that were favorable Obama reach the front page with as little as three votes. Either some employee there has taken it upon himself to censor such articles or the site has been hacked into.
The sudden silence of the blogs gone missing suggests the latter explanation. That makes me wonder who is next? If you start getting network taking too long to respond messages on any more conservative blogs, you will know what happened.
This article was posted on Real Clear Politics and lasted only for a hour before it was deleted. Enough said?

Lan Lamphere says he has a site that should not go down or have problems with overload, and good that he helped Leo get his new website up and running.
I don't have a clue as to how a site is made secure against hacking but hope we don't have any problems here in FR. As far as I know the recent problems were do to an old router and that is now repaired. Sure many Freepers with great computer knowledge know how to secure a site. :)
Real Clear Politics used to be good but they are Obama lap dogs. They were months before the election.
Drudge made a lot of $$$ off Obama banner ads on his site. He is another sell out.
