It may not be difficult to find violence filled hate speech at DU but I don't like surfing around over there. I figure if some people on a thread like this are going to be reviewing DU posts anyone they could help by sending them to Google News (or barring that, FReepmail me with the comments and weblinks).

The first example I ever even cited to GoogleNews was one of the idiotorials from DU that Google considered "news". The Klan hoods rating system and foul mouthed rants against Rush Limbaugh were passable.

I know that in the past, some FReepers have tried unsuccessfully to get FR commentary (yes there are regular FR columnists) into Google News and they were told that FR isn't a news site (because of the way discussions are handled).

I've gotten them to admit that white power newsletters would not qualify as "news" that they would tolerate. Just trying to see where GoogleNews' threshold is because I'm certain that DUh has crossed it many times.
