I found out today.
Here is the URL to the web shot with the inset (the most popular digg'd links on front page of DIGG web page) for comparison.
Prisonplanet.com article on Digg admin allowing a single "Bury" vote to eliminate Ron Paul stories regardless of popular vote.
"Web democracy" at work. Shame on you, Kevin Rose (founder) for approving Soviet-style censorship.

is the last bury of about 40 than it dropped and is now buried.
My comment would be I don't agree about how things are so easily buried.
I have seen stories come back with a few persistent diggs.
So don't let this burst your bubble. Be persistent and if it gets front page
defend it! There are only so many slots on front page and a millions try to take them.
If the media refuses to cover Ron Paul than we, some how must.
Digg works in mysterious
Digg works in mysterious ways. There are things that go in behind the scene to remove stories. The staff will always claim that it is the digg/bury ratio causing it. But during the money bombs, I watched a story complete disappear. I believe someone on the admin side of things deleted it. Only to have it undelete a day later after the money bomb.
I can only speculate. I have messed around with the Digg Labs and watched a RP story receive 1000s of diggs with a few buries here and there still vanish from the front page. I was also in the middle of the digg revolt of 07 and got my account deleted.
That being said, the video in question here is still alive and well on digg. Both on the last 24hr, and last 7 days list. Since it became popular over 12 hours ago it will not show up on the top 10 list on the right, as those are what were most popular in the last 12hrs.
Actually it's still in correct numerical order in Past 7 days
category and Top in 24 hours -- just not listed in the Top of all Topics
KEEP DIGGING
To be fair...
It is prevalent everywhere. They always bury Ron Paul stuff. Always.It's obama's unofficial homepage.

But the vid there wasn't and hasn't been buried. It's on page 6 atm I think.. they stay in order of when they were made popular. In regards to the TOP of ALL topics, on the right of the main page.
We were there at No. 1. What happens though if you watch, after a while or be it a new day - the no. 1 shifts, and gets removed. (moved)
For whatever reason, this was allowed to 'not be buried'.
I think the first comment in the vid spelt it out well.
"I wonder when the Obama supporters will realize that by pointing out that McCain is failing to unite the Republicans they'll show his weakness? The Democrats are tearing each other apart and allowing McCain to slide past things like 210,000 Republican voters in PA voting against him in the primary."
Think they agreed.. the dems enjoy a ensuing battle in the GOP.
it was just taken completely out of Top in all Topics
it was there like 10 minutes ago... I think 4,077 is a bit over 2,184 which is showing as #1 top
However at least it's still showing in Top in 24 hours
BUT KEEP DIGGING!
THIS IS BS

Congressman Ron Paul
Welcome the USSA.
I can only hope in 100 years the populace of the world will know what true freedom really was. Since in the history of mankind the USA constitution has been the only true beacon of light for the average human to know true freedom.
We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?
