Comments (2) Simon Owens at Bloggasm is reporting that a number of anti-Obama blogs were shut down after complaints:
After some digging it became apparent that several Blogspot accounts had been shut down because of similar spam issues, and nearly all of them had three things in common: Most were pro-Hillary Clinton blogs, all were anti-Barack Obama, and several were listed on justsaynodeal.com, an anti-Obama website.
I haven’t verified it, but since PUMA blogging seems to have become my thing recently, I thought I’d note it.

Update (2008 July 1): An article in the NYT gives more information. Google (which owns Blogspot) claims it was a problem with their spam filters. The PUMAs don’t buy it.

Comments (6) Obambi is an eye-opening site that shows there is some serious Obama hatred around. I ran across it looking through PUMA sites I mentioned previously.
Posts include things like Barack Hussein Obama: 10 Things to Fear and Unity My Ass: Say It Ain’t So Hillary, Barack Obama is a Vile Socialist. But what grabbed my attention most were the graphics. Juxtaposing words like “racist,” “nope,” and “idiot” with images of Obama, and clearly photoshopped images of Obama with Iranian leader Ahmadinajad, really make an impression, of some kind.
Then there’s The Kilzone, which is worse. Images there mix swastikas, sickle and hammer themes, and other objectionable symbols with Obama images. Whatever one thinks of Obama, or any of the candidates, none of them are comparable to Nazis or communists, and this kind of imagery is sickening.

Leave a Comment As I was saying some time ago, Obama’s campaign slogan, ‘Yes, we can!’ is the English version of the pro-amnesty for illegal immigrants slogan, ‘Sí se puede.’
Obama: Yes, we can – Sí se puede

Comments (1) This Obama video by Will.i.am of the Black-Eyed Peas is actually kinda cool.
Whatever one’s thoughts on immigration, it’s interesting that ‘Yes We Can’ is the English for the Spanish ‘Sí se puede,’ which was one of the mottoes of the illegal alien amnesty movement.
I won’t be voting for Obama for the reason he lays out on his website:
Bringing Our Troops Home
Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.
That policy throws away everything that’s been gained in Iraq, and I won’t vote for that regardless of other issues on the table.
