Political Fact of the Day

From The American Spectator’s Washington Prowler:

Google has become the single largest private corporate underwriter of MoveOn. According to sources in the Democrat National Committee, MoveOn has received more than $1 million from Google and its lobbyists in Washington to create grassroots support for the Internet regulation legislation.

In other words, if you click on a Google ad, you are indirectly contributing to the left-wing moonbat PAC. Great! I'll never click another Google ad again!
 
Not the first time corporation has used money and politics to secure their interests, and it won't be the last.

And yet what is curious is that GOOGLE is a business and the last organization a business would donate to is a leftie socialist bunch of folks who would end free enterprise for communism.

Google Response - Monday, May 15, 2006 @ 3:02:03 PM
We've heard from Google related to our item this morning regarding MoveOn.org's involvement in the "Net Neutrality" fight.

Google sent along a statement that reads, in part:

Google, Inc. is not a financial supporter of MoveOn.org as your article of May 15 entitled “Internet Nationalization” asserts. As a result it is unequivocally incorrect to state that MoveOn has received "…more than $1 million from Google and its lobbyists..."

It is wholly accurate to say that network neutrality is an issue of great importance to our users and to Google as a result. Broadband providers should not be permitted to use their market power to control what consumers see and do online. For 100 years telephone companies have been prohibited from telling consumers who they can call. For two decades Internet carriers have been prohibited from dictating what users do online. Broadband carriers should not now be allowed to pick winners and losers in the competitive Internet market

So you don't think there should be net neutrality?

Why do you always confuse your issues? :scratch:

There should be. I don't believe google REALLY thinks there should be. They're all geared up to help totalitarians governments censor the net, and they're doing it in china.

Are you not paying attention? The connections were not that hard.

I posted the update because the initial point on this thread has an addendum from the site it originally came from. Things like that are important.

And, yes, Google is wrong on the China thing. But they're right on net neutrality. So it really doesn't matter if they REALLY mean it. Sometimes even people who are wrong on one thing are right on another. And sometimes even if people are correct for the wrong reasons, they're still on the correct side of an issue.

Now back to the issue at hand.... net neutrality good. Doesn't matter where the effort comes from. :)

or do you want to cut off your nose to spite your face and not support it because *gasp* moveon is for it?

They're lying if they even imply they respect freedom. Like libs. No wonder you're on their pole so securely.
 
I have no problem with corporations giving money to PACs. I don't like corporations giving money to political parties directly.
