FREEDOM: What the left wing of 'digg' cannot 'bury'

While much has been said of liberal censorship via proposals for “Fairness Doctrine,” censorship is already being directed at conservative, particularly pro-gun, voices on the Internet. At digg.com, left-wing activists of the moveon.org or Daily Kos bent are working to “bury” pro-freedom articles and thereby prevent them from appearing in the popular site’s search engine.

The effort to suppress the popularity of articles and limit their distribution is best summarized this bitter message of hate posted by Zomgondo:

“I despise Ayn Rand wingnuts. If you post in favor of Ron Paul, guns, or any other crackpot porn I ‘will’ bury you. Tip of the day nobody listens to you because YOU ARE FULL OF S%!%. F^$& off and die kthx.”
FREEDOM: What the lefties of digg don’t want you to have

You know, I started to write this piece a few days ago and decided against. I figured that I could almost understand it if the quasi-communists hated gun rights and buried that. But the piece they just buried didn’t center on gun rights, it centered on FREEDOM.

Guess that tells us what liberals want, doesn’t it?

That’s right: What they “buried” yesterday was entitled, “What is your state’s Freedom Index?” and centered on a study entitled “Freedom In The 50 States: An Index of Personal and Economic Freedom.”

For a description of how they use automated “bury” scripts to silence you, go to: http://atomicpoet.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/evil-digg-techniq...

Like assassins in the night, either coordinated or singly, these quasi-communists used “bury” for a piece on personal freedom, while remaining cowardly and anonymous.

FREEDOM: Will you let them bury YOURS?

If not, do the following four things:

“Digg” not only this piece, but the original at: “What is your state’s Freedom Index?”
“Shout” this piece to everyone you know, since it will probably disappear from digg;
Show them you won’t tolerate their fascism: zomgondo and drakoi, for example, both have “favorite” articles on the left side of their pages. Selecting the applicable article will reveal the dreaded “bury” button. From there, it is up to you;
Tell digg.com to: (1) Eject the “buriers;” (2) Limit the number of “burys” per day from a single user; and (3) End use of automated bury scripts.

To be honest, I don't have a clue how Digg works.

I don't have a Digg account. I just noticed the little Digg banner that pops up on the blog. I guest blog on there as "sound money man".

First off....what the H-E-L-L is wrong with you??? No digg

account and you expect us to digg something THAT old?? ;-)
I'm not sure about all of digg's anomalies myself, but I know that that one has no chance at the front page right now since you really only have 24 hours to make something popular.
We could use your help over there so visit www.digg.com and set up an account!!

I'm a newb to digg

I don't really know that much about it. I don't know the ropes there, either. I know you have done a lot with it.

I signed up because I saw where you told someone here the other day how many people read digg.

But if it is set up so that the "bury" thing happens like it does, are our efforts in vain there?

I hope not. But if so, maybe redirecting energy is not a bad idea.

we had a lot of success on digg in the past

but it got harder in the last year....gets harder every month but we can still spread the message unlike in NAZI Germany....we can still work for freedom.......

Thank you for uplifting my tired soul...

From what you describe in some of your comments below...

...it sounds like some strange crap going on there.

Like I said, I'm a newb there, so I wouldn't know.

So, the ultimate question: Will the message get spread by way of digg if they are doing, or allowing, what you describe below?

(I think I was digg 268 on the story above, by the way.)

Glad you found me uplifting. Another poem for you, my friend.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The world is a better place
because of people like you.

254 diggs Would you bump/digg this IF I say I am Jesse Ventura?

and where are you?....where is your activism?....where is it?

“We have allowed our nation to be over taxed and over regulated and overrun by bureaucrats, the founders would be ashamed of us for what we're putting up with.” Ron Paul

Michael why you don't put this on your front page?

why?.............we are fighting to make digg.com freed of abuse and you are also a member of digg........and couple of days ago your post got buried with over 200 digs of ours.

all I can say is FREEDOM*)

Agreed

I used to love digg, as a great way to spread the freedom message. Then all of a sudden, any articles related to Ron Paul started to get buried. I refuse to believe that all the RP supporters just disappeared because he didnt win the election, our movement goes way beyond one election. I suspect Obama drones, neo-cons, and megaphone software users.

I found this - it supposedly shows buries - going to try it out over the next few days. http://www.ajaxonomy.com/buryrecorder/

also, 228 diggs, still not popular. I've seen them get to over 300. >:-(

"You are a den of Vipers.I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out."

For an informed citizenry, individuals must discard the television set in favor of the acquisition of information via either books and/or the internet. An uneducated populous will remain in ignorance and thus continue to suffer the sharp ax of tyranny.

lets put pressure....and expose them

simple..........expose them at their game by mass digg that gets buried and all is visible for everyone to see...........lets get a 10,000 digg going
