It looked like it was going to be another rough week for Evil Google in the political blogosphere. 
The World Dominating Gateway to Information on the Internet had apparently decided to ban a keyword advertisement placed by "Yalies for the Impeachment of Bush-Cheney and the citizen-driven "Northeast Impeachment Coalition:"
"We'll be forwarding this to the ACLU and the general media Monday morning," promised a clearly-outraged Ralph Lopez, the groups' Webmaster, in his Saturday morning blog post at the Daily Kos. 
It looked as if the proverbial **** was going to hit the fan – just like the last time Google was accused of censoring a political advertisement.
But it turns out that the Google customer rep was wrong – the ad wasn't turned down because of any group "protected by law."
Rather, Google wants its advertisers to be polite.
The ad was rejected for "excessive capitalization," said a Google spokesman on Monday.
On the Internet, capitalization has historically been equated with kooks and people with anger management problems.
Here's the new version of the "watered down" ad, which has been re-submitted by Susan Serpa, a moderator for the groups' listserv. (Serpa is an accountant at a mid-sized law firm in Boston. She says that she's a life-long Democrat who's "quit" her party in disgust. Nevertheless, she's voting for Dennis Kucinich.)
The ad was re-submitted after a previous, more polite ad (below) yielded few click throughs.
Is the newly submitted ad as effective in communicating a sense of urgency?
