Leftist Site Stymied by Google Censorship

Leftist site stymied by Google censorship

Amusing. Post below lifted from Just one minute. See the original for links

“Think Progress” delivers some high-powered attack blogging - they accused John McCain of plagiarism, but apparently had not exerted themselves to actually check McCain’s speeches available at his Senate website - he claims first dibs on the disputed phrases by pointing to a speech he gave in 1995 to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20, but how much prescience would have been required for Think Progress to have pinned this down? For example, one of the McCain phrases that stood out was “War is wretched beyond description.” A search on the word “wretched” at McCain’s Senate site produces just three hits, one of which is the 1995 speech.

What seems to have confounded the person who noticed this is that Google’s search spiders seem to be blocked from the McCain site; neither a conventional Google search nor a Google search on McCain’s Senate site deliver the 1995 speech.
