Left-leaning Google messes with CPAC

The left-leaning, White House shoulder-rubbing Google will be quite visible at a leading conservative event this month. What’s up with that? Google will be a major sponsor of this year’s Conservative Political Action Committee annual conference in Washington, D.C., this week.
Conservative blogger Sean Hackbarth observed, “This is Google’s most aggressive attempt at reaching out to the conservative movement. I saw an effort first-hand at the 2008 GOP convention when Eric Schmidt had a meet-and-greet with conservative webloggers. It went fine, but there was no follow-up. The distance and distrust between the company and the right continued.
“Throwing money around and talking up G+ won’t be enough to connect,” Hackbarth predicts. “They have to make a concerted effort towards activists, take their concerns and issues serious, and answer their questions when they’re having problems with Google services.”
As an “oh by the way,” Google spent approximately $390,000 (out of $3,760,000.00 total) on SOPA and PIPA lobbying, which included attempts to educate lawmakers on SOPA and the DMCA. The filing with the Federal Election Committee is available online in a PDF here.
