Does the administration not understand how to use a computer? Why can’t they just do searches themselves, and see what results THEY come up with? Why do they need to see the results from other people? The Bushies will connect to the same Google everyone else connects to.
Unless they are using one of those other Internets Bush knows about.

If it wasn’t I’m sure it is now that people have stopped doing internet searches. (I stopped using Google. I never felt whaet they were doing for for any noble reason).
January 26th, 2006 at 12:08 pmI will continue to use Google. If someone has a problem with anything I’m searching for, they can kiss my ass. I just finished Googling the words Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda, George W. Bush, Saudi Arabia, Michael Moore, Harry Reid, and illegal wiretapping. No sicko porn words, because, you know, icky.

SUSTAINED, RECORD DEFICITS: In his 2002 State of the Union address, Bush promised that “our budget will run a deficit that will be small and short-term.” And in 2003, Vice President Cheney stated, “I am a deficit hawk. So is the president.” But neither of their statements has been true
January 26th, 2006 at 12:32 pmWell, This is GOOD News.
January 26th, 2006 at 12:35 pmHUMAN RIGHTS — IRAN AND THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, UNITED IN ANTI-GAY BIGOTRY: “In a reversal of policy, the United States on Monday backed an Iranian initiative to deny United Nations consultative status to organizations working to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people,” according to a Human Rights Watch release. In May 2005, two international gay rights groups applied for consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council, “the only official means by which non-governmental organizations around the world can influence and participate in discussions among member states at the United Nations. Nearly 3,000 groups enjoy this status. States opposed to the two groups’ applications moved to have them summarily dismissed, an almost unprecedented move at the UN, where organizations are ordinarily allowed to state their cases.” On Monday, the Bush administration joined Cameroon, China, Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, Senegal, Sudan, and Zimbabwe — nations with some of the worst human rights records in the world — in voting to reject the groups’ applications.

January 26th, 2006 at 12:46 pm“Google’s Gag Order: An Internet Giant Threatens Free Speech.”
I went to your link avenging angel. I am not convinced that prespectives is reputable. Your article never spelled out what they were doing wrong, instead alluded to dark, sinister forces.
I love google. I use it every day. hell, it’s my home screen on most of my computers. At least they didn’t roll over to our AG in thir pursuit of porn at the expense of our freedom from intrusion by the government (once again bushco holds to it’s priorities).
January 26th, 2006 at 1:04 pmAvengingAngel — kindness —
January 26th, 2006 at 1:25 pmBoth used The word“Free”.
This is in Violations of terms and Agreement , therefore must be warned of anymore use of that word will be terms for removal from this site.
its likely that Georges excuse for looking at porno on white house computers has just been issued
January 26th, 2006 at 1:35 pmYay, but the end of the Article showed where Yahoo turned in a Chinese Journalist.
And how does GoogLE know the age of the Person behind the Keyboard?
Is there some new facial finger internet verification system that I dont know about? I mean Reall your computer is Usually named by what you typed in, and forgot, years ago. Your IP number doesnt reveal anyones age or sex.
This is ROVE spin for ‘limiting internet freedom’ The House Bills King Duhbya has already begun to implement. Such as the AOL woman here recently charged for making a statement, the harassment Bill that you HAVE to use your real name.
“there ought to be limits to freedom” -Duhbya
January 26th, 2006 at 1:43 pmGoogle Should Be Responsible for Banning Porn sites. Not the President.
January 26th, 2006 at 1:57 pmIsn,t there a Terms and Condition for using Google?
No Adult porn sites, etc…?
Is that what GWB Is looking for? Porn Sites?
January 26th, 2006 at 1:58 pmYa know how when you’re walking down the sidewalk in a city and you come across someone who is blabbering and possibly pharmaceutically enhanced or mentally challenged and you just avoid any eye contact?
That happens alot here.
January 26th, 2006 at 2:11 pm#8 – When words and deeds disagree, believe a persons deeds.
Pres. Bush can say anything he wants, it’s his deeds that I’m watching to see if he’s acting in the interest of American citizens or the corporate elite and big government.
January 26th, 2006 at 2:15 pmGo to Google and search for the word: failure
These guys are on our side, it’s why they are being targetting first. But make no mistake about it, when it comes to the government restricting our freedom of speech, Google won’t be last in that effort to shut us up…
They are only using porn as an excuse, and guys like Chomsky and Vidal have been warning us for years that they would start with pronography and never end…
Welcome to 1984.
January 26th, 2006 at 2:23 pmkindness —(kind ness? better look that word up in the dictionary)
January 26th, 2006 at 2:33 pmTry PTSD.
It happensalot on the battlefields. PTSD I mean
January 26th, 2006 at 2:34 pmCome to think about it, Most of the Kindest people I have Met are the very ones Bush calls our enemies.
January 26th, 2006 at 2:44 pmHeck, I met some Chinese Generals and thier Family, they were the nicest people Ive ever met.
Afganos were nice, Saudis were nice, Iraris and Kuwaitis were nice.
Problem is, I come back to America and No One is Nice or as you name yourself, Kind.
I feel alot of Hatred Back here in america.
makes me wish I had stayed overthere.
dude, I was being polite by not mentioning you by name.
You are right though. You were the one I was thinking about when I wrote that. Go get some help.
January 26th, 2006 at 3:30 pmunbelievable,
Google was not targeted first. They are the only ones in the news, because unlike MSN, Yahoo! and AOL, who gave up their databases freely, Google is the only one fighting.
Did you guys know that MSN, Yahoo! and AOL already gave up their databases?
Here is the other important piece of the puzzle:
If anybody thinks that the Government doesn’t know how searches work, they are just fooling themselves. Eschelon, is a giant search engine and wiretapping system. The Government knows, they just want to get into Googles databases. Plain and simple.
January 26th, 2006 at 3:38 pmCan’t target an accomplice Spudge…
January 26th, 2006 at 4:07 pmI guess that is true.
But, I think people should be outraged that MSN, Yahoo! and AOL gave away this information so freely.
January 26th, 2006 at 4:45 pmYeah, me too – but no one seems outraged with all the other stuff that should outrage them either. The general apathy is appalling on these matters. I’m at the point that I don’t know what it will take to wake these people up.
I am happy to see Google make a stand. Perhaps then, it will make it to The Daily Show, and then some one will send an email to Jack Cafferty who will read it aloud on CNN and get the chain of information started…
January 26th, 2006 at 5:52 pmThe title of this article is misleading. It is the Department of Justice, not Bush.
January 26th, 2006 at 7:04 pmI don’t believe it’s a PR stunt at all. The NSA spyings are under attack, so what better to do than start to look into our web searches?
Or, alternately, you could look at it from an Orwellian “disinformation” angle by peering at what Google does in other countries. It’s after 1am so I don’t feel like getting the specifics, I think China is on the roster now, but in other countries Google censors out certain results that the government doesn’t want getting through.
Imagine that, Google suddenly stops returning all of the evil liberal websites that expose his lies, and slowly but surely any hope of getting the truth out to the people goes away…
January 27th, 2006 at 1:04 amThe DoJ, aka Alberto Gonzales
January 27th, 2006 at 1:49 amWeird, should have said:
The DoJ, aka Alberto Gonzales
January 27th, 2006 at 1:50 amHeh, I had some weird character in there cutting it off. This should work:
The DoJ, aka Alberto Gonzales is nothing but a front for George Bush’s illegal activities. There is nothing wrong with the
