Google Listed ‘Nazism’ As The Ideology Of The California Republican Party
[NEWS.VICE] Less than a week before the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, primary, Google listed "Nazism" as the ideology of the California Republican Party.

In the "knowledge panel" that provides easy access to information next to search results, Google was showing "Nazism" as an "ideology" of the party as of Thursday morning. The word "Nazism" was hyperlinked to a secondary page that shows "Nazism" alongside other "ideologies" of California Republicans like "Conservatism," "Market liberalism," "Fiscal conservatism," and "Green conservatism."

California voters have been casting their absentee ballots for weeks ahead of Tuesday’s statewide primary elections, which will help determine the majority in the House of Representative and the potential next governor of the world’s fifth-largest economy.

But voters looking for information by searching "California Republicans" or "California Republican Party" were getting "Nazism" next to their search results until Google took the listing down later Thursday after a query from VICE News.

Google blames Wikipedia vandalism for results linking GOP to Nazism

#4  To my memory, the real live actual Nazi's never referred to 'Nazism'. They proudly spoke of it's real name, National Socialism. Then again I guess it would be a tough sell if they were to wise up the rubes and suckers too soon.

#8  What does Google list as the ideology of the Dem Party?
Fluffy bunnies, unicorns, rainbows, and showers of Skittles™. Like someone I knew that was a Socialist™ but had no idea when he was asked to explain what Socialism was...

(Soros) PAC backing DA candidate Jones-Wright cancels all TV advertising
Cutting losses in the millions trying to buy extreme leftist DA's
[SanDiegoUnionTribune] A political action committee funded by billionaire George Soros that has pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into the campaign of Genevieve Jones-Wright for district attorney canceled all of its planned television advertising Wednesday for the candidate, just six days before voters go to the polls.

The move by the California Justice & Public Safety PAC, confirmed by two local television station managers, is a blow to the Jones-Wright campaign in the run-up to election day. The PAC had been running saturation-level
(yes)
television advertisements for the past several weeks over county airwaves.

The commercials were polished
like the shiny turd
I understand the Japanese actually do that — it’s a hobby or something. I saw a special on PBS about Japanese traditional crafts.
, biographical ads designed to introduce Jones-Wright to voters in the county and crucially raise her name recognition as she competes against the current officeholder, District Attorney Summer Stephan.

Jones-Wright, a deputy public defender who is running on a platform calling for reforms in the criminal justice system, was one of four DA races that the PAC had thrown its support behind in California. On May 3, Soros contributed $1.5 million to the PAC, which is backing candidates in Sacramento, Alameda and Contra Costa counties as well.

The PAC immediately spent more than $400,000 on advertising and mailers supporting Jones-Wright, and more has been deployed for her campaign in the succeeding weeks. The most recent campaign disclosure report filed with the secretary of state showed the PAC had spent $848,853.50 in support of her campaign through May 19 - the largest sum of any of the four candidates the PAC was backing.

On Wednesday a spokesman for California Justice & Public Safety PAC declined several requests to comment on the ad cancellations.
I'm not a great fan of Stephan, but when the other choice is a paid SJW destroyer of Soros? I'll be crawling across the proverbial broken glass to vote

#1  Isn't there a warrant out for Soros by the UK, Hungary, Russia or some other country that he has badly screwed over? This guy must be being protected by the Deep State.

#2  I wonder if Google labeled one of this PAC's ideologies as Nazi?

#3  The Japaneses polish mud balls, not turds. It's mostly a children thing. The idea behind the polishing is to prevent cracks from forming as the mud ball dried.

#4  It's been nice not having to watch Genevieve's ads. Now if we could just get a break from Sara Jacobs and Paul Kerr...

#5  Japanese do polishmudbutMythbusters got one to use the techniques to polish a turd and it worked.

#6  "Soros we are from GROM and are here to take you to Poland.....dead or alive." I can dream can't I?

#7  #4 - AMEN. Sarah's Granddaddy Irwin is bankrolling her vapid "Go Vaginas and No Guns!" platform. Unaccomplished and embellished resume. Now Kerr, I just can't see what that sad sack has to recommend him either, but somebody's bankrolling this meat puppet.
