Anti-gun Advocates Oppose Free Speech

Via David Codrea:

The lefties on Digg are burying our GRE articles to keep them from getting to the front page--this means when they succeed, they are literally denying that tens of thousands of readers get to see them--I'm not BSing--it's something we are working on among ourselves in our group correspondences. Because it's a social network that works that way, there is very little we can do to stop that if supporters of these articles don't help us keep that from happening by digging and sharing in greater numbers. It's just another one of those cases where simple inaction can mean the difference between success and failure.

As is usual, the only way the hoplophobes can continue to exist is by attempting to prevent the facts from getting out. This is why they either don't allow or heavily censor comments on the overwhelming majority of their sites.

Do what you can to help. Go to the numerous Gun Rights Examiners links and "Digg" them follow your conscience.

More on the anti-gun 'liberal' censorship drive here.

Check out the latest from other Gun Rights Examiners:

Austin Gun Rights Examiner: Mexico’s gun laws responsible for violent holocaust?

Charlotte Gun Rights Examiner: What is your state's Freedom Index?

Cleveland Gun Rights Examiner: "Shoot first" legislation and the concept of fair play

DC Gun Rights Examiner: Georgia legislator introduces bill to repeal permit requirement to open carry handguns!

Denver Gun Rights Examiner: Keep them guessing

LA Gun Rights Examiner: Take Heart, Part IV: Explaining it to the Republicans.

Minneapolis Gun Rights Examiner: An open letter to Senator Jim Webb and pro-gun democrats

Seattle Gun Rights Examiner: At it again: Anti-gunners trying to demonize yet another class of firearms

St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner: Decorated Marine, disarmed by law

Please be careful with this. It is against the TOS of Digg to 'game the system' so to speak. I believe asking others to Digg your articles is OK, but there can be no coordinated effort to Digg all articles based on any criteria. I think this post and David's is fine, since you don't actually link to the Digg articles, but it is a gray area and I'd hate to see some Digg users banned because of this.

Yet there IS a coordinated effort to bury them. Several anti-gunners actually admit it.

RuffRidr said...

If they have posted this on Digg, then please report those posts to Digg. If you can find out where they are coordinating the burying from, even better.

Thanks for doing this. And yeah, we have reported some, but that only works for the very few who taunt us about it. A few of our guys got to the front page and it attracted enough notice to send some of them on the warpath against us.

I never wanted to bother registering with Digg, but I did today simply so that I can Digg Kurt's Examiner articles from now on.

Kurt '45superman' Hofmann said...

Thanks, guys.

Don--you joined the day I decided not to submit my Examiner article. I was about to, and then saw that there was already an article about the same guy, and decided that submitting mine would be kind of obnoxiously redundant.

OK, I followed the links and dugg as many as I had time for.
However, I noticed there was no DIGG button in SEATTLE, L.A. OR DENVER.

Somebody might want to correct this.

I tried to register on Digg but I don't get any captcha image and the audio version will not play on my computer Firefox can't find a plugin to play it. I'm guessing it doesn't like Firefox running under Linux, or maybe it's because I got to Digg from one of the examiner articles.
