WorldNutDaily: Sure we have hundreds of stories on BLACK MOBS, but some of our friends are black

The world's most powerful Internet search engine has accused WND of using "hate speech" and has threatened to block ads on the news site over its use of the term "black mobs" in news stories and columns reporting on a two-year epidemic of racial attacks in the U.S.

In response, WND is preemptively blocking Google ads in content in which that phrase appears in past and current stories, including this one. Other ad providers have agreed to step in and fill the gap.

Joseph Farah, editor and CEO of WND, said the Google policy is flawed because it "attempts to censor words and phrases that are truthful and accurate from First Amendment-protected media on the basis of political correctness and faulty algorithmic methodology."

The idea that WND somehow has racist motivations is bizarre, said Farah, especially when fully 20 percent of the site's regular weekly columnists are black – including Sowell, Star Parker, Walter Williams, Eric Rush, Mychal Massey, Ellis Washington, Selena Owens, Ben Kinchlow, Alan Keyes and Larry Elder, not to mention other black WND columnists like Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson and Albert Thompson.

Who's willing to bet Michael Dunn was thinking he'd run into a BLACK MOB that night?
