Is sure as Hell seems that way…
From Zip, we learn [tip of the fedora to Palaeomerus]:
I’ve been using Google ads for years now as the site’s nearly sole source of income. Suddenly I get hit with a policy violation for not having original content, the only problem is according to their vague guidelines this would make almost every news website on the Internet that uses Adsense (and the vast majority do) out of compliance. Hard not to see that I am being unfairly singled out, almost certainly because of my political views. I wouldn’t be surprised if lefty trolls have been reporting us to Adsense, it wouldn’t be the first time.
We’re now left dead in the water until I can find a suitable replacement, if that’s even possible. Google runs the Internet, especially the ad market.
I need everyone to please contact Google, be polite and courteous, and ask them to reverse this decision. If they are coming after me then it’s only a matter of time before other sites are taken down.

As I’ve written here many times: the Left In America is relentless in it’s efforts to utterly crush us and it has no compunction of doing so ‘by any means necessary’.
I found out about the Weasel Zippers situation via Palaeomerus in a comment he left on a post by Jeff Goldstein that concerns the police-state tactics being used in Wisconsin against supporters of Governor Walker. I urge you to read it and the comments where more incidents of this kind are noted.
As commentator Libby remarks: ‘This is frightening’.
And it’s only going to get worse.
We’re all Outlaws now.
