Google Hates Conservatives

The world's best known Internet search engine, Google.com, stands accused of liberal political bias after allegedly refusing a conservative group's ad, which had text nearly identical to an advertisement the company previously accepted from a liberal group. Google denied the charge Tuesday and said it treats all of its users and customers fairly.

Yeah right. Rightmarch.com found out the truth about Google when they saw an ad on Google that read:

"The Truth About Tom DeLay - Learn about DeLay's many scandals and help us clean up the House! dccc.org."
Nothing wrong with that, but when Rightmarch.com tried to run this ad:

"Truth About Nancy Pelosi - Learn about Pelosi's many scandals and help us clean up the House! RightMarch.com"
Google refused to run the ad.

"At this time, Google policy does not permit ad text that advocates against an individual, group or organization," Google wrote Greene on the administration page of his ad account. "As noted in our advertising terms and conditions, we reserve the right to exercise editorial discretion when it comes to the advertising we accept on our site."
The conservative ad never got on. The liberal ad is still running.
