The 2006 campaign is about to be "Google-bombed." Both liberal and conservative bloggers have embarked on plans to manipulate the Google search engine so that negative articles about the candidates they oppose appear near the top, potentially influencing undecided voters.

Google is not thrilled by the idea. "We don't condone the practice of Google-bombing or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results," spokesman Ricardo Reyes said. He added that such campaigns are not impossible but are unlikely to be effective given the complexity of the Google search algorithm.

That is a nice form of political activism, not small minded at all. Why talk about ideoligies and ethics when you can smeer oponants. Another sad thing is that these people probably look down on sertain political activists, that don't belong to one of their two parties, calling them hooligans and professional demonstrators.
