You've changed your argument several times in the comments on this page. Initially, it was that Google has specifically chosen, for political reasons, not to move down the current top result. Then, instead of admitting that you are wrong, you imply that what you actually meant is that they don't do it for a variety of reasons, not really political. Yet that post is the top post, because you're Tommy Ptacek, HN royalty, right?
The vast majority of your comments on this page, and many others, are so completely devoid of thought and reason, it is literally too painful to continue reading them. Take this one, for example. Really? Half the country is interested in ultra-right wing conservative politics? So much so that they need to do internet research on the social conservative who has only in the last couple of weeks had any poll percentage worthy of finding out who he is? Barely half of the adult population of this country cares enough about politics to even vote. Half of those are moderates. Probably half of those realistically would not go researching candidates on the internet. Before two months ago, for 95%+ of the population, if they knew the word santorum, it was not Rick Santorum. As for myself, the only two times I've ever searched for santorum were to see what the joke was, and what the origin was. In another two months, Rick Santorum will again be forgotten for history, but the word will live on. And you want Google to manually drop the current top result in the rankings for a few months to help out poor Rick Santorum, so nobody need remember why that word originated? And, in your mind, that is the reasonable and non-political thing to do? Because you just can't believe that most people would be searching for anything so crass? Really?
Just stop...please! Admit you're wrong! Stop being such a douche!
