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).

I’m on Linux right now. I put “deem and pass” in the search form (no quotes) and nothing appears on the first page with such a warning. I did not look further. Since the browser generally tells Google what OS you are using, you’d think that it would not flag “harmful to your computer” results if you are not using Windows. You said you are using a Mac, though.

The Senate warned its members NOT to go to Drudge because of the "possibility" of viruses infecting Senate computers.
