Google is on record as saying they only allow Google-bombing for results that are of no actual relevance to life. For example, nobody would ever seriously need to use Google to find real results on the topic of "miserable failure," so they let it stand. But whenever some group of people tries to start screwing around with the results of a legitimate search topic, Google's staff will go in and manually tell the software to ignore the attempts.

So the successful google bombing of President Bush will stand while they may intervene in the attempted google bombing of the Kerry campaign with the word "waffles"? It finally works but I could easily see them removing it.

Then again the moderators at news.google.com seriously believe that Democratic Underground is a "news" site and not a place where racist, seditious ranting occurs. They have told me that true hate literature will not be tolerated. I've given them examples in the past but I always hear that it is "just a difference of opinion". Yeah.

Unless they do remove it, I'm not sure what your point is here. The Kerry For President site is the #1 result for "waffles" right now. If it were to be removed, it might be because the legitimate owner of waffles.com complains. But on the other hand, the "legitimate" site is only the third-most-popular "waffles" site anyway, so they'd probably have less of a case.

They don't link to DU threads, just DU articles. FR doesn't have an articles section. I don't know why they don't link to FRN articles, but they certainly cover a whole host of conservative opinion sites.
