Google Rejects Right-Wing Ad Plagiarists
Upset at anti-Tom DeLay ads running on Google, the organization Right March decided to strike back with some anti-Nancy Pelosi ads. So they plagiarized the DeLay ads -- why do your own work when you can outsource it to angry liberals? -- and substituted Pelosi's name for DeLay's. Then they tried to place the resulting ad on Google. Alas, Google rejected it because of its policy that prohibits "advocating against any organization or person." It was unfair certainly, but does this mean Google is biased against conservatives, as Right March now charges? Only if you think calling President Bush "secretive, paranoid and vengeance-filled," orcriticizing ocean polluters are typical conservative pastimes.— GREG BEATO
