But that's politics. I'll say this as a centrist. If Bowers was a right wing blogger and was doing it to Obama, the lefties would be all bent out of shape, complaining how dirty the right it. Bowers wrote a ridiculous post a month and a half ago on how the Democrats should stop targeting "Reagan Democrats" and go for the "creative class", "non-Christian whites", and Asian/Latinos. Essentially the "progressive" part of the liberal spectrum along with growing ethnic groups. http://openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=4403 Stupid. Yeah, it’s fine I guess, but I don’t like it.

But yet it is also not in any way illegal. So the question relating to hacktivism is whether Google-bombing is an activity that degrades our democratic system... or is it just clever politics? <a href="http://thenerfherder.blogspot.com/2008/06/hacktivist-throws-google-bomb-at-john.html" rel="nofollow">http://thenerfherder.blogspot.com/2008/06/hacktivist-throws-google-bomb-at-john.html</a> Google-bombing may be a subversive political activity, as it clearly tries to game the system in ways for which the system was never intended, particularly when it focuses on negative content.
