As Islamic scholar Robert Spencer can tell you, the mainstream media has barely noticed that Google, the Internet search engine giant, is now deciding for its users which ideas are acceptable and which are not. It’s never been a secret that Google leans left and won’t tolerate ideas it doesn’t agree with. The company hired global warming profiteer Al Gore as senior advisor and has a history of purging content based on ideology. More evidence of the company’s thinly-veiled, warm and fuzzy politically correct authoritarianism keeps popping up.
Now Google Video has suppressed a video of a speech that Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), made at Dartmouth College. Spencer, whose family comes from the Muslim world, sees his work as “calling attention to the roots and goals of jihad violence.” He carefully explains his belief that “Islam is not a monolith,” and says that he has “never” characterized all Muslims “as terrorist or given to violence.”
Google de-googled several conservative e-zines and blogs from its news crawl last year, banned anti-MoveOn.org ads, and is complicit in state censorship in communist China...

This is disturbing that Spencer’s speech is being censored
Of course, they cannot challenge the facts presented by Spencer...so they have to censor
Google backs down to the Commie Chinese, now it backs down to Islamic hate groups
I think it’s well past time for the Mossad to bring down Google’s servers as a lesson in true power.
Tom Lantos grilled Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang today regarding a chinese dissident. He should have been yelling at the Google Boys instead.
Google is no longer our FRiend, this man’s speech is censored, they hold hands with the ChiComs, and 98% of google employees donated to Dems in 2004.
they also delisted Hillary Uncensored a Free Republic member’s film that had been #1 for a week on google videos.
Alternatives are needed to counter Google’s dominance and liberalism...I use dogpile...
Use other search engines, such as Ask.com, or dogpile for example.
“censored”
???
Start his own Google...
Dogpile uses Google as well, graph does not show it.

Dogpile gleans from google. See #7.
Do not see Dogpile listed on that chart though.
Google ping!
This relates directly to your earlier post today.
I use Yahoo for this very reason. Works just as well if not better (in my opinion), and isn’t Google. Frankly, if it even worked AT ALL, I’d use it instead of Google.
Then again, as this Freeper thread shows, Yahoo apparently has its issues, too: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1921917/posts
thanks
Yes, I did read that awhile back. I use Yahoo for 2 junk email addresses, alltheweb and clusty for searches.
It does, but it also searches several other engines, Google is hard to avoid and still find a good cross section of answers to queries.
That many engines also means that it is hard to google bomb a response by manipulating the results of a search like google is doing, they can they need 6 other engines to join them to make it work.
They also use Ask and Yahoo and MSN and a few other engines, with that many engines it is hard to skew or ignore results of a search.
Used dogpile and found Spencer’s speech (one of several) with google and yahoo being the two results that were found:
