Tennessee liberal bloggers Left Wing Cracker [1], Sharon Cobb [2], and Vibinc [3], who all use blogger.com/blogspot.com, have been notified that their blogs were flagged as spam and they were locked out.

Sounds pretty suspicious, but apparently it's not limited to Tennessee blogs, or political blogs. According to the Google blogger help forum, there have been a rash of such incidents [4] over the past week or two from all over. My guess is that they unleashed a "new and improved" spam hunting bot and it had a brain fart.

UPDATE: Jack Lail has the offical Google/Blogspot response [5].
