I'm aware of the Google political connections, but I think they worship the dollar more than anything else. I doubt they would intentionally piss off anyone who is a potential profit. We'll have to disagree on this one, but thanks for the dogpile suggestion - looks like a good search engine.
They hold a double standard on sidebar advertising.
They also include DU among "news agencies" in news.google.com despite their hateful rhetoric and death threat posts.
Google administrators do acknowledge that there is a line which would cause them to drop a "news agency" but they claim that DU has not crossed that line.
If anyone knows how to get O'Reilly's ear, I think this from Google should be "most ridiculous". If they take note of Earth Day, they can be respectful of those who gave their lives to make it possible for silly little geeks to become rich in Free America.
You are guilty of the same naivete that caused some conservatives to regard with bafflement the refusal of the major publishing houses on the East coast to publish conservative books, in the face of obvious commercial successes enjoyed by such books. Why, since these companies were ostensibly for profit, would they consciously refuse to publish surefire bestsellers?
Ann Coulter ran into the same issue when 3 major publishers turned her down before her latest was published. When asked the reason, one reportedly said that the main goal of that publishing house was to further national dialogue!! Imagine that.
Welcome to the world of the avowed leftist ideologue, where they would cut off their own nose, just to spite their opponent.
So, maybe if they received some polite requests from folks who would like to see artsy logos on the mainstream American holidays, they might try and oblige.
Or maybe not. Who knows?
