Google honors woman who said "I thank Islam for bin Laden"

[Valaran]

Next time Gandhi gets celebrated I'd like to see some consistency.

Who knows, maybe the OP will still complain.

[HMS Vanguard]

Huh, no.

I am saying that when a country's major institutions endorse a radical ideological figure, and encounter no institutional or serious public opposition, that ideology can be considered to be, or be close to, that country's official ideology.

That is a reasoned deduction. You may disagree with it, but it's not the sort of argument one can brush off with "Sources please!" (which, let us be serious, is 99% just an attempt to waste the other poster's time anyway, and not motivated by actual disbelief).

What? You do know that Congress is controlled by Republicans, right? Since when do Republicans endorse Communism? Name just one Republican who endorses Communism. Not to mention, but Liberalism, which is the dominant political ideology within government institutions in the United States, is not Communism, far from it. Neither is Classical Liberalism, nor Mainstream Liberalism.

OK, and are the Republicans in Congress going to respond to this outrageous action of Google by punishing Google in some way? Even criticise them?

No?

What would happen if Google did indeed run a Mussolini graphic - and not, Mussolini killed 1/10,000 the people this woman's friends did - would they be silent then? Would Google be safe then? Would the Republicans in Congress say nothing then?

[Kar-Esseria]

...Who picks these people for the Google banners?

Well, I'd say probably deluded, racist, psychopaths like her.

[Ganonsyoni]

And MLK. Well, only for white liberals. He saw white moderates as an even greater nuisance the the Civil Rights movement than the KKK.

Communists.

I think American politicians are a bit busy these days.

[Vassenor]

If America was communist there'd be a lot less government-sponsored discrimination of minorities.

You just stated that Communism was the dominant political ideology in the US.

Really? Really?

[HMS Vanguard]

You just stated that Communism was the dominant political ideology in the US.

And now I am suggesting that the Republicans are Communists.

[Kar-Esseria]

Stop with this fucking "America is Communist" bullshit. All of you. You're derailing the thread. Either ignore it or go start your own thread, this is not the place to discuss it.

And corruption. And war profiteering. And poverty. And crime. And Hunger. And hate... etc., etc., etc

In case you're one of the 7 people with internet access who doesn't have google as a homepage

let's take a look at what they have as their page picture for today, may 19th.

(Image)

In case you're wondering who hot stuff in the picture is- that's Yuri Kochiyama. You might get the idea that maybe she marched alongside martin luther king in the 1960s but that is not really the case, she was a marist black separatist. In other words not unlike louis farakan. Here is a laundry list of her good deeds, which is from wikipedia and not say fox news.

-Took over the statue of liberty to free puerto rican nationalists who almost killed several unarmed people and admitted to it
-Friend of assata shakur, a convicted murderer
-Friend of mumia abu jamal, a convicted murderer
-Fan of mao zedong (noted peace activist)
-Campaigned in Peru for a terrorist organization known as "shining path" which conducted massacres against unarmed civilians
-Supporter of the japanese "red" army which did multiple terrorist attacks
-Friend of marilyn buck, who was involved in at least one murder
-Called herself a feminist and converted to islam

Oh and by the way...here's her unedited thoughts of 9/11. I won't say shit...


So...ahem...why did google decide to use this idiot as their poster girl for the day? Some other people born on may 19:
-Frank Luke, "Medal of Honor" recipient
-Max Perutz, nobel prize winner
-Colin Chapman, lotus founder
-Pete Townshend
-Joey Ramone
-Harry Brown, one of the only american pilots to shoot down japanese aircraft on 12/7/41
-Albert fish, hey at least he never supported terrorism

So who else should have been up there and why did google put her up? Is eric rudolph acceptable as a google mascot now?

As one of those seven, I stopped supporting Google when it become a 500 lb gorilla. I have a news service as my homepage, and my default search engine is Ixquick. There are other search engines out there--the aforementioned Ixquick, its twin Startpage, Duck Duck Go, Yandex, Yippy (a clustering engine), and of course Yahoo! and Bing. One can google (:snicker:) for specialty search engines for a myriad of professions, and specialty searches as well. If you don't like what Google is doing vote with your click with another company, and perhaps send them an email as to why you are going to some other.

America is being invited to worship a Communist and doing so enthusiastically, and this thread is about that worship of a Communist, and how Americans love that Communist and are worshipping her enthusiastically.

[PaNTuXIa]

And now I am suggesting that the Republicans are Communists.

Yes! Do you read your own posts?!?!?!? You just stated that Communism was the dominant political ideology in the US! How can Republicans be the dominant political party in a widely-communist loving nation?!?!?

[Kubra]

No, we're discussing the views of a single person, on trial because she's a rather famous person with some questionable views, questionable views evidently shared in some part by one Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter is persona non grata to anyone bragging about not being an SJW.

lol fair point, but iirc his election was fair and square.

No, we're discussing the views of a single person, on trial because she's a rather famous person with some questionable views, questionable views evidently shared in some part by one Jimmy Carter.

I highly doubt Jimmy Carter actually liked the Khmer Rouge and rather saw them as a necessary evil. And it's not Jimmy Carter being commemorated now is it? So perhaps you can drop the fucking whataboutism?

I'm totally fine continuing with the whataboutism that you're so irritated over, but actually we have another topic we ought to discuss.
We took HMS Vanguard at face value about Cambodia, didn't we? After a bit of google-fu, "Yuri Kochiyama" and any keyword you can associate with the khmer rouge doesn't show up together, it appears.
We've been had.

I think this is some kind of twisted Begging the Question fallacy.
America is communist because Google used this Doodle.
Google used this doodle because America is communist.

Edit: I'd also point out that I haven't seen you point out all the other countries that are condemning this doodle, so according to your logic, every country is communist.

No, it isn't. And even if it was, this isn't the right thread! Start a new thread and bring your anti-communist propaganda somewhere else.

No we are not. Endorsing mass murder is not a "questionable" view.

And where is here endorsement of pol pot

[HMS Vanguard]

And now I am suggesting that the Republicans are Communists.

Yes! Do you read your own posts?!?!?!? You just stated that Communism was the dominant political ideology in the US! How can Republicans be the dominant political party in a widely-communist loving nation?!?!?

I am not sure how much more plainly I can put it.

The Republicans are Communist America's Right-Communist Party, and the Democrats are Communist-America's Left-Communist Party.

The Democrats will enthusiastically worship this black-hearted murder-loving Communist, while the Republicans will just half-heartedly worship her, or say she went a bit too far, while being very careful not to give the impression that they strongly disapprove of her or anything she said or did.

And perhaps some crackpot in flyover country will say that, you know, murdering millions to impose Communism is not OK, that worshipping someone who endorsed that is not OK, that actually everyone engaged in this endeavour is crazy and evil, and should be removed from responsible positions of power over others.

Or perhaps a foreigner will say it.

And then all the Communists will shout him down.

[Hostanea]

HEY EVERYONE!

[Dinake]

Am I the only one thinking google picks provocative leftists to honor just to troll us? I can't say I blame them, exactly.

[Alvecia]

HEY EVERYONE!

Probably for the best. I'm done.

[HMS Vanguard]

No, it isn't. And even if it was, this isn't the right thread! Start a new thread and bring your anti-communist propaganda somewhere else.

I did not state in that post that it was bad that America is a Communist country that worships people famous for endorsing Communist mass murder. That is purely your inference.
