[GPSCC-chat] Google and Inhofe

[Gerry Gras]

I was recently reminded about the "Google and Inhofe"
email I sent out a few days ago (7/11).  So I thought
I would look to see what more I could find.

Short version, the fundraiser did happen, Inhofe took
advantage of it for more fundraising, and it seems
likely that Google will keep on doing things like this.

I used Google to search "Google Inhofe".

I'll mention a couple of articles I found, but I
recommend you do your own search.

"Google Hosts Fundraiser for Climate Denier James Inhofe"
http://www.thenation.com/blog/175249/google-hosts-fundraiser-climate-denier-james-inhofe

"Why Green Google is Hosting a Fundraiser for Climate Change Denier Jim
Inhofe"
http://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/2013/07/10/why-green-google-is-hosting-a-fundraiser-for-climate-change-denier-jim-inhofe/

I also searched to see 350.org's response and found in
https://twitter.com/billmckibben
"Hard to wrap my head around the idea that Google is raising $ for James 
Inhofe, the chief climate denier"

and

http://www.350resources.org.uk/2013/07/09/google-hosts-fund-raising-lunch-for-climate-denier-republican-inhofe/

What's the moral of the story?  You tell me.
