The Anti-Veterans for a Strong America Googlebomb is Working!
A while ago, my Googlebomb Blog called for a googlebomb against Joel Arends and his Veterans for a Strong America. The Google results for Arends and VFSA both show that the sites are coming up on the first page of the Google results. Great!

John Lewis Calls Out Rep. Paul Broun over Comments and Attempts to Defund Part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965
 The Huffington Post has the story:

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) introduced an amendment to cut all funding for enforcement of a part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 intended to prevent racial discrimination. The provision, Section 5, requires a number of states and counties, mostly in the South, to receive federal approval before changing their election laws. . .Broun argued that the provision unfairly targeted several states and had become "antiquated" . . [Rep. John] Lewis, who marched with Martin Luther King Jr., took to the floor to denounce Broun's amendment: "It is hard and difficult and almost unbelievable that any member, but especially a member from the state of Georgia, would come and offer such an amendment," Lewis said, recounting the history of struggles over voters' rights. "It's shameful that you would come here tonight and say to the Department of Justice that you must not use one penny, one cent, one dime, one dollar to carry out the mandate of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act."

Just a little background on Broun: he's the guy who got on the House floor and referred to the Civil War as the "Great War Of Yankee Aggression."

Googlebomb Joel Arends and the Phony Veterans for a Strong America
Check it out on the Googlebomb blog

Here's the post:

Joel Arends, a notorious right-wing operative (e.g., he was South Dakota assisant director of the Koch Brother's Americans for Prosperity), has created an ostentively nonpartisan front group, Veterans for a Strong America, that are the 2012 version of the Swift Boat liars. Arends and VFSA have a disgustingly deceptive commerical that darkens President Obama's skin.

Let's give web searchers accurate information about Arends and his phoney front group:
