I was online earlier and saw this exact story broken by a Freeper who did their own research. Did GOP USA and CNS steal the FR story and call it their own?

It has been reported here and other places that Google gave 100 per cent of its political campaign funds to democrats. Not a single penny for a republican in the last election cycle.

Little Green Footballs had an entry on this story yesterday too, so I'm not sure if it's an FR exclusive:

Google Refuses Conservative Ad, Similar Identical to Liberal Ad There.

Google is about as liberal as cBS. Look at the news pages and the wording of the headlines they use on each story. Slanted far left if possible.

I got an e-mail from Right March the night before the story broke in GOPUSA. I suspect they (Right March) submitted it to GOPUSA because it was identical to the e-mail.

Actually, Google does seem to want to preserve its reputation. Unless there has been some hanky-panky, they took down the Democrat ads after their bias was pointed out to them. So the whole ploy worked out very favorably in the end.
Google has a reputation for honesty in the Spyware area, unlike all the previous search toolbars. Even though the executives may be leftists, I think Google can be kept reasonably honest if people keep after them.
The same goes for their proposal to weigh old-line news organizations more heavily than blogs. If enough people complain, they will probably drop that proposal, because it would end up wrecking their reputation.

Asked about the nearly identical ads, Mayzel said, "Both ads were taken down. Any assertion to the contrary is false."Typical liberal half-truth! Yes, both ads were taken down. But only after it was made public that Google allowed an anti-Republican ad but did not allow an anti-democrat ad. Then, and only then, were the anti-Delay ads pulled.

Hi! It's Jeff Johnson from CNSNews.com, author of the report you mentioned. I noticed that there is some question about the source for my article.
I reported on this story after learning of it directly from William Greene, president of RightMarch.com. You'll notice in the story that I directly quoted both Mr. Greene and Michael Mayzel of Google from my one-on-one interviews with them.
No disrespect to FR intended, but my report was not the result of anything posted here. Additionally, GOPUSA is a CNSNews.com client, meaning they buy "their" news from us. If you'll look at "their" story on this, you'll notice that it is datelined (CNSNews.com) and has my byline.
Thank you for reading my article and CNSNews.com and a special thank you to whomever posted the article originally.
