Google answered with a great big shoulder shrug when asked how anti-Obama blogs hosted on their Blogger network wound up being shuttered en masse last week.
The company is looking into what happened but thinks the blogs were accidentally identified by spam detection software, Google spokesman Adam Kovacevich said.
“It appears that our anti-spam filters caused some Blogger accounts to be blocked from creating new posts,” he said. “While we are still investigating, we believe this may have been caused by mass spam e-mails mentioning the ‘Just Say No Deal’ network of blogs, which in turn caused our system to classify the blog addresses mentioned in the e-mails as spam. We have restored posting rights to the affective blogs and it is very important to us that Blogger remain a tool for political debate and free expression.”

There’s an old vaudeville comedy routine called “Slowly I Turned,” where one of the actors hears a certain phrase that drives him over the edge into a state of agitated mania much to the surprise of an unknowing onlooker. For Patrick Murphy, it seems there is also such a phrase: Karl Rove.
The whiplash joyride known as Barack Hussein Obama’s opinions keeps jerking passengers on the “Hope and Change Express” left and right. The latest sudden quick turn? The immediate withdraw of troops from Iraq that Obama has been promising his libtard base for years was suddenly under the bus for a time this morning.
KYW-AM General Manager David Yadgaroff says the station won’t run a Democrat sponsored ad in which a voice actor impersonates President Bush thanking Congressional Republicans for supporting a “Big Oil Agenda.”
