One of the most offensive Google pages - hard to believe -
and to make matters worse they explain why they have offensive pages above the image.

1. Meh; I'm offended at the folks who googlebombed that to the first result, not Google itself. (nt)

4. Yeah. At least the "miserable failure" Googlebomb
Was a legitimate political commentary on Bush's performance. This is just a racist attack. Typical.

2. I didn't see anything bad there.
Did I miss it, or did they change it?

3. You missed the very first image?
Top left corner - it's Michelle Obama with an actual monkey face.

9. This was the first image that came up for me.


However, when I looked just now, I got this at the top of the page:
"Related searches: michelle obama monkey"

That wasn't there when I looked earlier.

5. This only happens for people using Apple computers.
Blame Apple, Steve Jobs, and the people who like Apples.

7. Bet if someone photo shopped a picture of Palin as a moose
the republians and tea bags would absolutely s** themselves. Some body do it.

12. I will be happy.
That woman doesn't deserve anything else but scorn. Michelle Obama never got up in front of the world and made an ass out of herself.

14. Now, you might not believe this but
there are people on the other side who think Michelle certainly has done that. They're wrong. And so, I believe, are you. Throwing crap at is just brings bad karma.

16. See what I mean?
The fact that I don't consider her to be a complete idiot makes me a "Palin lover". People here need to grow up.

18. Yeah, but they also believe that the Earth is flat and the sun revolves around it.
In other words, their beliefs are not cngruent with reality and therefore cannot be treated as having any validity.

Sarah Palin actually has made an ass out of herself.

13. One offensive image out of 8.6 million hits
Yes - there are idiots who post offensive stuff on the internet. Do we want Google to decide what's offensive and then filter it for us? I don't think we want to go down that road... do we?

20. No, I'm hoping that the government death panels
will filter the internets for us as well.
