I find manipulating the Google search to be offensive, no matter who does it and for what purpose.

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.

When I look up "Jew Watch" I expect to find a site where I can buy a timepiece with a Hebrew dial and not some nazi forum.

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.
