I guess I’m not to only one who realizes what the Liberals are trying to do over at Digg.com. I never blogged about it here, because I know the truth gets out regardless of efforts to suppress it, but I might as well chime in about it now that others are speaking up.

A while back Michelle Malkin mentioned that while Digg.com was a site with great, potential it seemed Conservative views were not getting much play and encouraged Conservative bloggers to start submitting material there. I jumped in and have been submitting some of my posts, along with other articles I like. While my traffic counters and even the visible responses on Digg indicate that there is a desire for a view like mine to be shared, I’ve noticed that much of my Conservative material disappears from Digg.com. It does not disappear completely, but is “buried” from general viewing. So while people who come to my blog can still “Digg” a post they like, people who enter Digg.com never see it.

Take for example, my post yesterday titled, Muslims Play on ?Blackness? to Swell Their Ranks in the USA. Over on Digg.com it currently has 20 Diggs. Most of that came within the first hours after I posted it to Digg.com, but now you can’t find that submission without a direct link, even if you search Digg.com for it, unless you included “buried” articles in your search. (Not the default search setting.) Because somebody does not like when topics like this are discussed. The bury button was indented to help the Digg community filter out SPAM, but instead Liberals use it to filter out ME and other Conservatives. I knew that would probably happen and it seems to be the case with the vast majority of material that I submit. The first couple hours I’m getting Diggs when my submissions have visibility and then they are buried. Given how they’ve done me, I’ve given into the temptation to bury Liberal tripe now and then, but I’ve only done that on a rare occasion, that I could probably count on one (or 2) hand(s).

It seems I’m not the only one noticing this. Hot Air and Little Green Footballs are now all over this, like syrup on pancakes!

Once I wanted to have those who bury my material expose themselves for a little open debate. In a post titled Pro-Gay Lobby Continues to Impress Their Views on Innocent Children, I submitted the post to Digg.com with the following sub-heading:

Will Liberals allow this to have a fair viewing on Digg, or will they try to bury it and hide the truth?

Well this showed who some of the folks are that dislike Conservative views. That submission currently has 15 Diggs and 116 comments, but has been buried. Because the Liberals really disliked me offering a Conservative view of children being pressed to a certain view about a lifestyle their parents and even they through Biblical learning might find morally objectionable. If you read the comments over at Digg.com related to that submission, you’ll see that those who dislike the post feel that anyone who teaches there children the gay lifestyle is wrong is a “bad parent”. Most of America votes against gays wishing to call themselves married and so to some degree an overwhelming majority of America is not pleased with the gay lifestyle. This means most of you reading this are probably regarded as bad parents by Liberal bury police over at Digg.com. Many of them are folks without children themselves, but they wish to tell you that you’re a bad parent if you don’t endorse every lifestyle that they endorse themselves.

Ultimately the Liberals would like to see me banned completely from Digg.com. So far their efforts have failed, as they have with many other Conservative blogs, but that’s not always the case. The bury process is algorithmically based (secret). So if you like a post on my blog, sign up for a Digg.com account and DIGG IT. That will help keep it visible on Digg.com longer. I’ll keep putting the truth out there and here, so long as I am allowed. I am convinced that the Liberals on Digg would enjoy if people like myself were arrested for thought crimes. It’s already happening in other parts of the world and they want to bring it here to America.

…
Well, before they were just burying them. Now they are marking posts from Conservative blogs as “Spam”. Why? Too many people claim its spam, and the site gets blacklisted. Those liberals, and their fight for freedom of speech….Oh, wait, we’re Conservatives, not terrorists. We don’t get the same rights.

Dr. Rusty at The Jawa Report says:

…the tinfoil wearers over at Digg are busy trying to list The Jawa Report as “spam”. …I’ll wear this as a badge of honor.

Well said!

update 2/26/2007 10:11PM: I submitted this post you are reading to Digg and it appears to have received 69 Diggs and 23 comments so far, but has been buried. LGF has 2 post up about this. One has 496 Diggs and is buried, the other has 507 Diggs and is buried. Hot Air’s post about this submitted to Digg.com has 162 Diggs and has also been buried.

The Global Conservative has details of efforts to suppress posts critical of Islam.

Planck’s Constant says “I died in less than 4 hours on DIGG”. I’ve had posts die there in less than 3 hours.
