US right wing groups are turning to hacking web sites that disagree with them.
Websites which are critical of the Tea Parties, Sarah Palin, the right wing overreaction to health care reform have begun experiencing DDoS attacks.
Sites like Politicususa have been bought down and four other lefty sites which ran stories on Sarah Palin were also attacked.
It follows window smashing campaigns and attacks on liberal supporters and ironically Democratic Party offices.
The US has seen a dramatic rise in “Patriot” groups over the last year. Some of them believe it is the god given right to bare arms which apparently means cutting them off a black person.
One of the more alarming trends has been the rise in the number of Militias from 42 to 127 since 2008.
But the use of the Internet to shut down the Liberal voice seems to be a little more popular than the usual lynchings and shoots. That is the sort of action that “middle America” which is supposed be behind the Teatime groups is likely to support.
Progressive liberal blog PoliticusUSA.com, has been under a major DDoS assault for the past ten days in retaliation for several stories about the Tea Party movement, right wing violence, and Sarah Palin.
PoliticusUSA owner/administrator Jason Easley wrote that the politically motivated attacks are just a temporary delay.
“These malicious attacks will not deter us from providing the best quality coverage of both progressive politics and the extremist behavior of the right wing, the Tea Party movement, Sarah Palin and the GOP. Our first amendment rights will not be deterred by illegal attempts to intimidate us or silence our criticisms. ”
Some overzealous people have done some questionable acts. Happens on both sides of the political spectrum, and shame on you if you don't admit it.
Being a brainwashed british socialist, you have no concept of the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment. Of course, it was because of the british that we have the Second Amendment, so thanks, buddy.
And your pitiful joke about the right to "bare arms which apparently means cutting them off a black person"? That is wretchedly cretinous, no one associated with the American Tea Party has cut off a black person's arms.
Stop your lying, arsehole!
Not that regular faux news viewers will notice.
A civil war seems to be fomenting. These people are armed to the teeth.
A typical Neo-Con will use bullying and any libellous propaganda or mantras to promote their agenda for a controlling class, and some even go so far as to label their intellectual superordinates as 'Bolsheviks'. I know it's absurd, but believe me, it's happening.
Beware the Jim Demented's of this world.
Those first aging boomers are so hypocritical, selfish, and arrogant.
They tend to view the world with a deep sense of personal entitlement, pride and self justification of/for role-playing out some grand scheme of destiny, if not divine purpose.
They are unable to adapt strategies as tools, or as means to ends, to use tack as sailing against the wind; but instead doggedly persist with religious superstitious fervor for dogma-nomics and the horse she rode in on.
They rote the book of shove.
Most have little and are unable to see that they are doing themselves the most dis-service.
If there were some way to break their mass hallucinations, we'd all be the better for it. Theirs is the sort of hysteria which John Adams feared.
