Internet behemoth Google apparently is clamping down further on consumers' access to a report about President Obama's Social Security number, which points out the number was designated for a Connecticut applicant, by warning that some sites carrying information on the situation "may harm your computer."
WND had reported two days earlier, in the wake of the revelations about Obama's Social Security number and the questions raised by the report, that Google was suppressing access to information about the report, linking to completely unrelated stories when consumers would search for the issue on the site's news tab.
Now a similar search of the web portion of the site brought up several warnings. For a reference to the report at hunsbergers.net, another at cleanclock.com, and a third at ccweldingco.com – all just on the first page – Google warned "This site may harm your computer."
Google spokesman Jake Hubert told WND that the first situation, involving unrelated links appearing instead of links to the Social Security report, appeared to be a "bug in the snippets."
He said at the time the company was looking into it.He did not respond to a request for a comment following the "harm" warnings.
A search of the top results from the site's news function today revealed similar results to those of two days ago. While a Politico story about the Federal Reserve and a Politico story about oil still were showing up as the result of a search of "President Obama Social Security number," several other stories has taken over the top of the page.
Those included a report about Obama's Social Security number from The Gouverneur Times – with additional links to Spreadit.org , Swabble and Seven Sided Cube – but nothing to the original WND report. Another top result was from the Christian Science Monitor about Hawaii approving a law to refuse requests for information about Obama, a Politico story about Elena Kagan, and another Politico story about Karzai.
The last two included "snippets" from the original WND report, but links to other sites.
Internet analysts suggested that such results were unusual, no matter how good or bad the WND penetration of the Internet would be.

Ever wonder why you birther guys are considered looney or why so many people think ultraconserves. are full of "you know what"? Because you come up with bogus claims like this story everyday then comment as if they are true. A search of google turns up plenty of hits on this story, including the WND report, just like it did last week.
How about this, use your time to come up with some solid arguments as to why Republican (or any other party) policies are better than Democrats. That strategy is a win-win for America. Chasing BS like this story only serves to further divide us while the idealogue politicians on both sides drive this country into the dirt pandering to the extremes of their party for votes.
And why are the Dems policies better? Do they seem to be working?
10:41, take off your idealogue blinders and you might be able to address the point of my comment.
