How cute: Conservatards are trying to copy us....
The #2 ranked site when "miserable failure" is searched on Google is Michael Moore's. Gotta love that conservative creativity.

1. Interesting...
... that they chose Michael Moore as the anti-Bush.

It'll also be interesting to see if they are able to eventually take over number one. Could there be a battle in the works...?

2. I actually complained about that before...
I'm scared Google's algorith can easily be manipulated. Imagine having every popular search term lead to political sites. Google could be come unusable if this stuff gets abused too much.

7. No kidding...
I've also often worry that popular sites like Google end being used by nefarious individuals who figure out a way to abuse a very useful tool but also one that reaches critical mass.

Like the TV before it and radio before that. (Both of which, of course, have been almost entirely taken over by the manipulators.)

12. Most of them lead to porn sites now
So political sites would have to be an improvement

3. Is "Democratsareidiots.com" still active?
I don't wanna check myself. But if you're into second-rate conservative copycats...

5. Cute but kinda weak.
I would have done a top tier Dem candidate, Hillary's senate page, or the DNC

We definitely beat them on this one.

13. They stole the election
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 08:25 AM by BareKnuckledLiberal
Why not steal anything else they can get their excuse-making hands on?

Seriously, I hope this persuades Google to change their rating algorithm. Right now it's pretty dumb.

Note to Freeper Junior Spies: Just make sure to spell Michael Moore's name correctly. Otherwise, you'll just look like real big idiots.

Merry Freepmas and to all a Good Right.

15. GREAT! Moore needs ALL the publicity he can get! You HAVE to love free
publicity!

I love it, that is HYSTERICAL. They've just shot themselves in the foot!

17. That was my first thought too; what a dumb thing for them to do
This is only attracting more of them to the Moore book. And someone might also assume that the reason the term "miserable failure" is associated with that book is that the failures of the monkey king are mentioned in it.
