It’s not impossible to know, if you read the thread. In this case, it seems the thread starter is not having an issue with Google, but rather an issue with his computer: not only have other FReepers logged on the site with no difficulty, but he’s just said that his wife, using a different computer with the same IP, can access the site just fine.
But hey, when has FR ever passed on a chance to bash something?

"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." - Thomas Jefferson
"I believe that all entities, whether government or free-market, need to protect the sanctity of free speech. This is a basic civic responsibility. Those who do not are cowards. Sadly, we live in an era where civic responsibility is disposable, considered a burden instead of a privilege." - Frank Salvato, publisher of The New Media Journal
They banned The New Media Journal. They banned MichNews.com. They banned The Jawa Report. Google is on a political and ideological campaign of political correctness that sees them denying access to their service to any website - be it news, opinion or a hybrid of both - that dares to address the subject of radical Islam.
Click here to see the original email from "The Google News Team."
This sets a dangerous precedent. What will the next subject be that serves as a catalyst for Google to promote their unique brand of corporate censorship? Which website will be the next to have it's Internet presence diminished at the hands of Google's "progressive" ideological agenda? WorldNetDaily? JihadWatch? NewsMax?
It is because of this - and our dedication to American Free Enterprise and the free market - that we have established The Anti-Google Search Engine Index. This index offers an ever-expanding list of search engines, many more comprehensive and many who do not manipulate content based on the ideology of political correctness.
We urge you to switch from using Google as your search engine and try the ones listed below. If you would like to suggest a search engine for inclusion on the list click here. Bear in mind that if the search engine you are suggesting charges for inclusion, a complimentary submission of The New Media Journal in the index will be required.
We may not be able to force Google to stop censoring free speech, but we can affect their bottom line. A

LOL!! That is funny!
I run my scans often and do pick up some adware because I do searches for images for my graphics. Lucianne has a lot of ads now so they probably do put cookies on us.

To: Terpfen
Sorry, you are misreading the situation.
Nefarious individuals coalesce around the idea of banning/blocking/denying access of conservative websites, they either find enough individuals to join their cause, or they build or rent out a botnet to send in abuse/spam/malware/ hate speech/child pornography complaints to various companies and organizations that maintain services that are blocklists. These companies include StopBadware.org, NetNanny, CastleCops etc.
FR has been blocked in the past through this method various times too. http://censorware.net/articles/01/06/16/0322210.shtml
http://www.google.com/search?q=freerepublic+blocked+at+ork&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Google has a problem because they are actively supporting (financially, publicity wise, and legally) non profits who have active members who are actively sending in false complaints against conservative websites. It’s very cozy on their side.

I would recommend ADAWARE, SPYBOT S+D at a minimum.
If you want some really useful, and extremely cool software, get Zilla WinCleaner.
The Graphic interface is a light-year ahead of anything else on the market (and it’s totally free).

New questions raised on
Google, MoveOn.org relationship
The Examiner [Washington, DC], by Robert Cox
Original Article
Posted By:Desert Fox, 10/26/2007 8:03:20 PM
WASHINGTON - Internal documents obtained by The Examiner shine new light on MoveOn.org’s “General Betray Us” ad and raise fresh questions about the far-left advocacy group’s misleading statements on the issue and its relationship with Google, a major donor to its political action committee. The documents show how MoveOn.org used dubious claims of trademark infringement and threats of litigation to silence critics of its recent controversial full-page ad in The New York Times attacking Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. general in Iraq...

Scum. I removing Giggalo from “all” of my pc’s now and will do the same at work where I have over 40 machines.

A short note about the Examiner. It’s a free newspaper that tends to lean a little to the right. It’s been through many transformations in the past 25 years but has emerged as a much better paper than the SF Comical. A breath of fresh air for a conservative in this sea of leftist insanity.
Google, like all the high-tech software giants, will implode within the next ten years- maybe not fast enough, but it will happen.
Microsoft has been an extraordinary exception to the rule.

FROM: The Resurrection of Al Gore
WIRED Magazine, May 2006
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.05/gore_pr.html
[Al Gore spoke in uncharacteristically personal and passionate terms [...] There, at tables topped with earth-shaped ice sculptures melting symbolically in the warmth of surrounding votive candles, guests mingled with Gore and his wife, Tipper, [...] “I need your help here,” an emotional Gore pleaded at the end of the evening. “Working together, we can find the technologies and the political will to solve this problem.” The crowd fell hard. “People were surprised,” says Wendy Schmidt, who helped organize the event and, with her husband, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, supported Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign. “They think of a slide show about science, they think of Al Gore. But they come out later and say, ‘He’s funny, he’s passionate, he’s real.’”]

More BS from radical liberals at Google.
We pulled google off of all of the computers at our company. I don’t want their politics influencing what information is displayed to our people.

I stopped using Google when they sold out to the Chinese. I use Ask.com...no problems with their usability...

I removed google from my machines a couple years ago when they sold out to the ChiComs, and have been pretty happy with Vivisimo.

Here is the immediate work around:
problem - when you use google.com to search for “lucianne.com” the first result, www.lucianne.com is blocked by google’s use of StopBadware.org filtering service.
solution - on the top of the page click on the “Preferences” link next to the Search button.
Scroll down to
SafeSearch Filtering. Select the radio button next to “Do not filter my search results.”
scroll down and click Save Preferences button.
go back to google.com and search lucianne.com again. Clicking on the result will now bring you to Lucainne.com’s homepage.
To: Turborules
To: Terpfen
No - this is an issue with Google claiming that Lucianne.com is a possible source of badware.
If you search on Google for "lucianne.com", you get the following search results:
Notice the line "This site may harm your computer." right below the first search result title:
And notice if you click on the first search result, you don't go to Lucianne.com, but rather to a Warning page:
Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!
You can learn more about harmful web content and how to protect your computer at
StopBadware.org.
Suggestions: Or you can continue to http://www.lucianne.com/short_cuts.asp at your own risk.

Looking around the
http://www.stopbadware.org web site, I find they provide the following explanation for why they are marking Lucianne as a possible badware site:

No - I suspect you are misreading the situation this time.
See my previous post above. StopBadware.org claims that the only reason they have labled Lucianne.org suspect is because Google.com's testing has reported a problem with Lucianne.com to StopBadware.org.
So this time I don't think this was the result of other anonymous nefarious individuals, unless they found some indirect way to poison Google.com's testing.

I don't think this is a problem with your computer.
I'm getting to, as I carefully documented in a prior post above. Google.com's testing has reported to StopBadware.org that there is a problem with the Lucianne.com web site, causing Google search results for Lucianne.org to redirect the search result links through this Warning page.
You might have confused the discussion a bit by also mentioning that you could not get to Lucianne.com for a few days:
I have not been able to get on Lucianne for several days
but your most recent problem, of this StopBadware.org
Warning is real.
