Remember that the Democraps support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, INCLUDING the First Amendment.

The only caveat to their interpretation of the First Amendment is that it has to be THEIR speech that is free and guaranteed, NOT that of the opposition. Remember the Ditzy Twits??

And when you type in Donofrio Obama the first two results are conservative anti-Obama blogs; http://citizenwells.wordpress.com and http://chicagoray.blogspot.com.

The problem is that the average Joe, including myself before this thread, don’t know about atlas shrugs. Try googling “obama birth certificate” and all you get are links about fact check and a judge throwing out the birth certificate case.
Google is undisputedly the most popular search engine around. I don’t think suggesting other search engines will make much of a dent. I personally use others but most people I know go straight to Google or Yahoo for searches. I think they should be sued and sued and sued until they stop this crap. Evidence would seem very easy to gather but the deep pockets and legal fees may be formidable.

Well, it’s a private business, I guess they can list or not list whatever they want.

No, it's a public corporation with a fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value. That does not include alienating half your customer base, and the same can be said for all the major media corps. Conservative shareholders should file class action suits against every one of them.

As far as specifically Google, they're longtime liberals, but it may well be that this kind of crap is being done outside company policy by one or two moonbats. It would be worth a campaign of complaints to company executives. I have accomplished some cool things in the past by going straight to the top.

We are really going to have to build our own network. I mean... increasingly, WE are the subversives, the underground.

Well, it’s still a private business in that it’s owned by a bunch of individuals. If they’re all on board with this (I’ll grant you that’s unlikely) so be it.

Two can play at this game if Google is so stupid. use Google, but never click on an advertiser link from the Google page. Better yet, use a browser's built in Google search, such as provided with Safari. Google then pays money to the Browser company, such as Apple, for the pass thru.

that's what I do too...
The first listing of a search is often a paid listing, but the second one is often the same website but not a paid listing. I normally ignore the right side paid listings too.
