Thank you for your email.
Google believes strongly in freedom of expression and therefore offers broad access to content across the web without censoring search results. At the same time, we reserve the right to exercise editorial discretion when it comes to the advertising we accept on our site, as noted in our advertising terms and conditions.
The AdWords team reviews each ad and we reserve the right to refuse to run certain ads or categories of ads on a case-by-case basis. We do not permit ads from sites with content advocating against particular people or organizations. If your ads do not direct our users to this material, we can run them
Please note that the decisions we make concerning advertising in no way affect the search results we deliver.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Rob
The Google AdWords Team
