The manipulation of Google data (Google Bombing) has been going on for years in political circles. The only problem here is Google takes its time removing bad links for Republicans, but for Democrats, they have bad links taken down in a matter of days.
Case in point? The obvious manipulation of Google results for Rick Santorum (a Republican presidential candidate at one point) which continued to have x-rated results for his name when searched in Google FOR OVER 6 YEARS.
Compare that to other quick searches for Anthony Weiner or John Edwards and you hardly get one or two bad stories about them in the first ten results.
