Google 'censoring' anti-Obama bloggers? (over birth certificate stories)

Is Google censoring anti-Obama stories?

Pamela Gellar of Atlas Shrugs claims the search engine giant has banned her groundbreaking articles about Obama – a technique many people refer to as "sandboxing."

"There was no warning, no notice, nothing," Gellar told WND. "They have basically sandboxed me."

It's a wider issue than making His 0-ness prove his eligibility.

I'd guess that's closely related to A-ness and P-ness.

So why http://www.google.com/search?q=obama+birth+certificate+geller&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-ado i get a bizzilion hits when I enter the information.

Maybe her hits have gone down because people are bored with the rant about Obama’s birth certificate.

Just a little taste of what the “fairness doctrine” has in store for us. The left are by far the biggest censors in American media today. Google and Yahoo are leading this crusade on the internet for the false messiah. This whole birth certificate issue could be easily resolved with one phone call, if in fact Zero was born in the United States as the scanned Certificate of Live Birth says. However, the fact that this lays festering like an open wound combined with a concerted cover up orchestrated by the false messiah with his minions in the MSM makes me think that there’s got to be something to it or this would have been resolved long ago.

Voted for Barr myself......looked at the Constitution Party but understand it is full of 9/11 truthers......can’t tolerate that.

>Unsurprisingly, I am having similar experiences that extend beyond those noted.

Care to elaborate?

[humantech]

Yep- and also suppose, just suppose, tht they are giving away mass amounts of free services tht get you to put all your personal email on their servers, and their contract states that in exchange for free services, they may use “ some of your information” for marketing purposes.
Be pretty intereting, wouldnt it, to see what info of yours google can see if you send email through their services......

What exactly makes one a 9/11 truther?
Would it be the ones that say the government was behind 9/11, or does it apply to people claiming that things don’t fit? (I ask because some things DON’T fit, like the ‘plane crash’ into the Pentagon; it was reported that the impact/fuel-explosion vaporized the fuselage of the aircraft... but that’s a LOT of energy to do that, and the Pentagon WASN’T totally wiped out. So, yeah, that doesn’t fit.)

I’ve been posting the information below not just on FreeRepublic, but other boards.

Also, you and everyone else could email the link to the continually updated FreeRepublic "birthcertificate" bookmark page.

I have sent it to my limited email lists, but I know some of you have email lists that are huge. It is up to us to get the message out. Most of the "journalists" have failed us and our great Republic.

We are the modern day "Common Sense" pamplet and Revolutionary Printing presses.

Three words:

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!

There are real economic damages here, besides the blatant First Amendment violations.

1). The Constitution Party is a viable truly conservative party that has a great brand; The U.S. Constitution 2). If you think the Constitution Party is preportionally heavy with kooks (and the Republican and Democrat party aren't), then lets decrease the proportions and focus it toward restoring the Constitution and our Freedom. 3). The Pentagon is a huge building and it isn't a sky scrapper like the towers were. It also had recently been reinforced on that side to resist smaller attacks. That helped it survive the impact. 4). Do you all really believe that plane was meant for the Pentagon? It barely missed the capital on it's first pass (witnesses at the Capital Building claimed they felt like they could reach up and touch it when it went over), it then banked hard to come back around (experienced pilots know that you loose altitude when you turn) and as it was lined back up with the Capital (look at the impact pictures and what is directly behind the Pentagon) too much altitude had been lost and it smashed into the Pentagon.

If the Pentagon was the target, why didn't they just hit it while flying down the Potomic River?

I don’t know.

>3). The Pentagon is a huge building and it isn’t a sky scrapper like the towers were. It also had recently been reinforced on that side to resist smaller attacks. That helped it survive the impact.

That is true, but there should have been BIG pieces of plane that would have to be [cut up and/or] towed out.

As for Constitution Party, I’ve been thinking about joining it for a while. I’m convinced that “Rule of Law” is [becoming] a myth because of all the legal twistings and complexities; rule of law was based on the idea that the law should be simple enough for everybody to understand, in general.

Are there any search engines that aren’t in with Obama? Alta Vista for instance?

If so, we should all switch. Google’s the biggest data miner on the planet anyway. I’ll never miss it.

btt

[Cacique]

Google is a private company and can do what it pleases. Want a better search engine? get investors and start one. It won’t matter because I suspect the left is already salivating at censoring the internet as a whole using the interstate commerce clause to start with and hate speech laws etc. This is what the brain dead idiots who have given total power to the left have done.

[FreeAtlanta]

I think the issue is two fold.

1). Google bombing (a lot of lefties link their web pages and blogs to the fradulant factcheck.org, KOS and other articles and they migrate to the to the top of the Google search). We should pick a couple of really good Birth Certificate stories and start Google campaign of our own. 2). The lefties at Google may be just giving the fradulant "fog of war" pro-Obama Birth Certificate stores the edge.

Bottom line, they don't care about accuracy. They want their guy protected and their crazy agenda forwarded. Never mind that it will ultimately cost them in the Freespeech arena.

FYI:
This site ‘scrapes’ Google’s search results. (you get the same search results but Google doesn’t get credit for the hits and there’s no ad links on which Google thrives.)

There are other ways to look at that,IMHO I won’t let the RINOS take my party away from me!I think the Republican party is still worth fighting for.

[screaminsunshine]

Good Luck. Waste of time.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

will write to some....but feel the news stations have ignored my previous writings about anything related to Obama.

I think petitions would have getter weight as they ignore individual efforts. Pelosi, Reid, and congress members definitely ignored the common man's pleas to slowdown/halt on the bailout panic.
