Could be a new *Crinton campaign slogan...

Those are some extremely weak examples. YouTube has nothing to do with Google search results, and removing duplicate search results is not the same as completely removing that result in the first place, which is what we’re talking about here.

Still, at least you did better than ranting about that goofy “miserable failure” thing.

If you’re using IE7, go to Tools, Internet Options. Under the “Browsing history” subsection, select Delete. In the window that pops up, next to “Temporary Internet Files,” click the “Delete files” button. Then click close.

Lol, you gotta be kidding me! Lucianne - before she started her own website!

Hillary’s ‘nic’ would be LUCIFER-ette!

Throw away that crap Windows PC and get a Macintosh. All your worries will be fixed right away. I have gone to Lucianne a dozen times today without a hitch.

Lucianne.com works fine.  Google is apparently requesting that Lucianne.com be investigated for Spyware.  See StopBadware.org and do a search for "Lucianne.com". Just bookmark Lucianne.com and don't Google for it each time.

I find it very difficult to blame Google and Yahoo when it comes to China. Consider the government in place there.

I’m not saying you’re lying. I’m saying, if other people can access the site just fine, then the problem lies elsewhere.

Stretch? More like a rubber band around the world, snicker.

Totalitarians of a socialist bent are gaming the Google threat detection and prevention system to deny access to views they deem a threat to their worldview.

Google has shown itself not to be lax, but an active participant in blocking the free speech over the internet of organizations that hold views opposed to by the staff of the Google corporation.

Google officially views you, your family, your neighbors, your community and the people of the United States as serfs without Constitutional rights, and they have now in the last month, clearly stated their position on your lack of humanity several times through their legal department.

Google has been hoisted upon this once beautiful thing called the “internet”, to be the jackboot to the throat of the people of the entire developed world.

Welcome to the new media, same as the old media.

I agree with some of the other posters — I think you’ve picked up some malware that’s hijacking your browser. Run Ad Aware or Spybot and see if that works.

Google DOES filter content. And their filters CAN and ARE actively gamed.

The problem is, as has been seen by the disgusting behavior of Google’s legal department, Google has taken an official position that makes them fellow travelers to those individuals who have actively gamed their filter system to block Lucianne.com.

So now, how do we know if this is an outside job, an inside job, an outside job with inside complicity, or an inside job with inside complicity?

Impossible to know.

I too went there on your link, no problem. That said, I think the “badware” Google is talking about is the same crap Google itself uses to run targetted ads while you’re on their site. My blocker stopped one pop-up, but I noticed that one of the sidebar ads was for my regional telephone carrier.

What I *think* this means is that Lucianne has a contract with an agency that reads your ISP and then inserts targetted ads into the various ad spaces on the Lucianne pages. I sincerely doubt that “telus” is available in California, for example, so a different, locality specific ad would be inserted there instead.

Just a thought. I’m never wrong, but I have been mistaken.

Then it’s definitely an issue with your computer. You run virus and spyware scans on a regular basis, right?
