The Googlebomb has generated mixed reactions in the right side of the blogosphereMichelle: (talking about the left-wing Googlebombs)

Google bombing is for losers

The NYTimes spotlights moonbats who have nothing better to do with their time.

Like Bryan said last week:

These are the people who are going to build a nuclear Google bomb and drop it on the GOP? For some reason, I feel less threatened by this than I guess I should. Their cyber nuke will probably pack all the punch of that North Korean dud.

Nevertheless, it’s good to expose tactics like these. It takes a devious mind to come up with a convoluted way to rig Google search terms, tie that to Google ads and hope to move democracy your way via online hypnosis. What would such a mind do from inside Congress, or the White House?

Let's not find out, ok?

But she did relent somewhat:

I missed an e-mail from John Hawkins, a friend of this blog from its very beginnings, alerting me to a conservative effort to counter the left-wing Google bombers. Might as well try to fight back if you can.

Go join John's campaign here.

Comments on blogs that posted the Googlebomb have been mixed as wellTo each is ownCheck out the link to Right Wing News above for an update on what's happened since the first Googlebomb was started and his explanation for the second list.

As I posted before, I think it's a pretty sleazy way to drum up votes, but as John said, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. He has a point.  And besides, they started it....heh.
