Should we Google-Bomb to debunk RW spin?
We'll soon be facing a downpour of Repug lies and spin that is difficult to debunk, even with the many rapid response site we have. I think that the best method to counter the spin is to Google-Bomb Google and other search engines. For example, someone types in "Wesley Clark" or "Wesley Clark praising Bush" or "Clark Waco" and the first websites listed under the results will be ones devoted exclusively to debunking these lies. It's the most efficient way to inform the public while wiggling through the net of censorship that is the whore media.

Isn't this the technique you use to get things like "miserable failure" to lead directly to a bush site?

6. Ok, so, what do you want to associate ?
It seems that we only need a very few sites to do the trick. If they consistently link things that we want to get associated by the search engine...
