I use a search engine powered by Yahoo on my toolbar sponsored by the NRA. When I perform searches or buy from certain commercial sites that this engine took me too, it pays money to the NRA. You can monitor how much money you have raised for the NRA just by searching.

For more info: http://www.nraila.org/toolbar/

Its a little off topic... but I prefer for the NRA to get the money instead of google.

I’ll give you a prime example of this:

When the climategate scandal broke, it took Google almost 30 DAYS to register the term ‘climategate’ it into their auto-completion system....even though the term was returning 30,000,000+ hits.

Around the same time, GE announced they were selling NBC. This made it into their auto-complete system in a day...despite returning less than 1,000,000 hits, for several weeks after.

Bias? Not only that - I’d say Google is actively ‘patrolled’ to eliminate anything in terms of results that would run contrary to the majority of its employee’s political agenda.

Funny - I hadn’t heard Rush discuss this and sent him an e-mail today wondering why the search results for ‘deem and pass’ seem so skewed.

Found it curious that so many results - that appear to be negative toward deem and pass - are marked with the warning that ‘this could be harmful to your computer’. Being on a Mac, I felt brave and continued on to read some of these results. So you click on the link. You go to a google page that again warns you. But then there’s no link for the actual page. So I copied the url and pasted the address direct. What immediately loads? The CNN homepage. Next one I tried loads the google search page. And so on.

Many of the ‘deem and pass’ results are marked with warnings and from the few I tried - you can’t get to them - they just send you somewhere else
(CNN? really?). Very curious. But, by the way, no problem clicking on links to liberal sites that discuss deem and pass (like HuffPo).

Google donated big bucks to the Obama campaign. They have a vested interest in him.

Of course they are in bed with Obongo. This was evident back in 2007. You Tube is the same. They are stopping view counts, refusing to put high count anti Obama videos on the main page. They do everything they can to stop the view counts on anti Obongo videos. This sh*t needs to stop now. It’s getting to the point of creepy. People are starting to feel like they live in a Commie country and as long as people are freaked out, the economy is never going to get better.

Glad I’m a Yahoo searcher.

Google sent out legions of paid campaign workers for RonPaul in 2008.
