Google: Don't be evil
-
Just out of curiosity, how many overly specific search phrases did you have to go through before you found one that didn't give a result?
None, I thought I would get at least a few hits. But none? Get real!

are you saying that google is stopping people from finding SOME anti Obama comments, but not others ? If so, why do you think they are doing that ? What do you expect to happen as a result ?
Yes, they want to provide relief to people and the relief is coming from the ones in power.

They are trying to reinforce that the government did not cause the problems, its the right way of life that caused the problems we face today and we are here to help you live "the right way". Their notion that the real values that real republicans have caused all our problems and the new leadership will take us to Tomorrow. Change, Hope, Prosperity. OBOMBA!

So, why are only a select few anti Obama comments being filtered ?

OK, so they do that by stopping people from finding a very small number of anti Obama comments ? How does that work ? I google obama sucks. I googled I hate obama. I googled Obama is killing America. I contemplated Obama must die, but I decided against it. Either way, I found a TON of sites indexed by google that attack Obama with as much vitriol as you can imagine. So, I'm calling BS on this. I am having trouble understanding how you could come close to believing it.

My guess is that my search was much harder to filter the right way without people noticing so they just removed it completely. Also its a strategic move to help obama.

My guess is that you're insane. Seriously. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=i+hate+obama&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-80[^] What do you claim is being filtered here ?

They know how people react to what they find in the search results. They are the media of all media, holder of all information. Everyone trusts google to be a solid source of information about everything known.

Except, I just proved I can google anti obama info easily. And, honestly the only people googling it, are people who agree with it. People don't use the web to expand their horizons, they use it to confirm their beliefs to themselves.

Which is why Google and the rest of the web is the perfect medium to manipulate people.

No, it is of no value at all. People choose where they go, people can write whatever they like, and people read what they want to believe. Which part of 'I can google anti Obama information without any issue', provided with examples, are you failing to understand ? That your one very specific search did nothing, proves nothing. If I want to read bad things about Obama, Google is my friend.

After this site gets indexed you will have a few more. Did you try a control, like yahoo, or msn search? I doubt Google would want to suppress it. Both HateObamanians and LoveObamanians ad revenue for hits is just as good.

Yes, I knew we'd end up at this point. It's the point you always come to. As I keep saying, the feeling that you're better than people who don't 'know' is one of the reasons that people on the outside of society are drawn to conspiracy theories.

Thanks for explaining the analogy to me. My mind is weak, after all. Do you not notice that when people try to discuss things with you, you fail to respond to questions and then resort to insults ? Doesn't that make you question yourself, just a little ?

Not the slightest bit. It makes me question you all and everyone else.

Relabeling things to what they plainly are not, is another thing that conspiracy nuts tend to do. Why is it that you're scared of logical discussion ? What have you got to lose by explaining why it is that you think Google is evil for causing one specific search to fail ?

Of course it does. See point #1. If I wanted to insult you, I'd say things like 'of course a loser would want to make themselves feel better than others'. But, it seems you're impervious to any form of discussion.

Totally. They're in it with the Scotch-Irish and super-intelligent-German-hamsters to create a new world order where Great Truths can't be easily googled on Google. It gets worse - this search fails as well: http://www.google.com/search?q="paranoid+druggies+ruin+it+for+the+rest+of+us" :omg:

You do understand that where you put the quotes makes the difference, right? With your first search it has to be exactly those words in exactly that order. With your second search you have two parameters instead of one.
