Gee whiz, people, the "Evil" line was meant as a humorous exaggeration. I never said "evil incarnate". I never will say "evil incarnate". I just found it surprising that Google would allow something that appears to align itself with ONE political party. (And surprised nobody had used the "GOPgle" pun before me) If it came out declaring itself "innovation provider" to both political conventions, I mostly wouldn't care.
The actual fact is, I can name a bunch of things Google has done in the last few years that contradict their old "Don't Be Evil" slogan, and I rate the "You Tube debates" that have contributed much to the current trivializing of political discussion among them. (Hey, You Tube in general does more harm than good)
I'd say that both political parties have many among their leadership who simply immoral and criminal, but among the GOP, those people are more powerful and more successful in hurting others. Most members of the Republican Party are not immoral and criminal, just gullible or in deep denial (and there are plenty of those among the Demos too).
