Have you ever noticed when you go to a google video page that it loads pro-obama videos and/or negative McCain-Palin videos? Or have you seen more external ads on McCain related videos then obama?

Treat google with a lot of skepticism IMO.

I NEVER use Google any more unless I am looking for images. I prefer the following:

No surprise there. Just go into any of the Google locations and be prepared to barf as a stockholder. I have never, ever seen a company waste as much money carelessly as Google does.

I like Google. It’s a great search engine. But I have now removed it from my browser’s list of search engines and I will be finding other search engines to use.

Anyone have any suggestions?

That's the way to do it. Hit them all where it hurts -- at the bottom line. I cancelled my local newspaper (The Asbury Park Press) subsciption of 14 years yesterday because they endorsed Obama -- and boy did it feel good. I no longer watch anything NBC related and I no longer watch CNN. You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel as far as mental health goes not listening to that garbage.

Interesting, I thought Fortune 500 companies and CEOs were “evil” according to 0bama..

It's in my hosts file now and blocked at the router. I cannot use it if I want to.

Yahoo, dogpile, there are a ton of them. Everyone wants to be the next Google.

Google: “Don’t be evil.”

Ironically, one of the more subversively “evil” companies out there.

We canceled our newspaper subscription, as well as our WSJ subscription, for the same reason. We will not hand over our money and support to the apparatus of the Democrat Party.

I use Clusty. It’s good. I hope it is not connected with Google in any way.

And how many GOP sites are labeled as potentially harmful? Google is already leftist. Expect a lot of facts about the Obamessiah to go down the memory hole if he becomes president.

I just scroogled “Ayers” and “Ayers Obama” and didn’t get a single “Fight the Smears” hit on Page 1. With Google, it’s always the top hit. I’m sold.

So, when Google's YouTube censors SNL clips that make Sarah look good, while keeping SNL clips that savage her, can that be counted by the FEC as an in-kind political contribution?

why the wsj? they seem, at least of late to be beating the crap out of obama on a daily basis. in fact they have had some of most spot on articles about obama, and his socialist economic plan. i would like to know because i figured i would subscribe to them. you know, cancel the left wing rags and reward the ones that do a good journalistic job. if i am missing some thing, would like to know before i give them any cash!
