Flies like crap.

Obama's making a list and checking it twice...gonna find out who's naughty or nice...

Crap, how am I going to update my Obama blog and tell everyone how excited I am about change and how much I hate Bush?!

God, it's good to log in after being away for a while and seeing that Charles and the Lizard Nation have been kicking Obama left and right.

it's back

I bet somehow we get blamed

[Link: www.timesonline.co.uk...]

This could be the reason

Progressives are embarrassing.

Time to get out the Prayer Rugs and throw 'em under the bus...

Maybe someone posted a page that was patriotic & not anti-Semetic & they had to shut the whole thing down?

re: #7 goforbroke

the AIPC is a jewish lobby?

um there are plenty of Christians in the AIPC.

That bus is getting SOOOOO crowded.

Hey obama, SLUR!

Let's see what happens in the next few days. Bet they start to blame LGF in a big way.

Nope, still up

Unplugged for a good flushing.

It's back up again.

Guess you'll have to keep using the MSNBC, NYT and CNN blogs like before....

No, it's not back.

And I bet the reason they went down is because of what they found when they started to use these techniques on their own site.

[Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...]

Perhaps I give myself too much importance. :P

Great, he creates a war room for his campaign, but he won't go to war against America's enemies.

Would some please throw "thrown under the bus" under the bus?

The site being down for 20 minutes could just be a garden-variety technical problem. I won't be a bit surprised to see it shut down for "maintenance" very soon, to be replaced by a sanitized version.

re: #18 Desert Dog

Guess you'll have to keep using the MSNBC, NYT and CNN blogs like before....

I suppose, but they're just not as cool.

They probably sent all those controversial threads down the memory hole.

Bet you a fiver his staff won't catch 'em all.

A "war room"?

Again, image is more important than reality.

The reality is that the Obama campaign is very friendly to America's enemies, and that this derives directly from Obama's inexperience, muddled thinking, and 20+ years of listening to the likes of Rev. Wright.

Out, damned spot!,

It's not going to go away because of some "war room."

Either he's going to need to leaseThe Big Bus (which, coincidentally, ran non-stop to Denver) from Coyote Trailways, or he's going to need to another bus, soon.

I do hope they've left the New Black Panther Party community blog up.

he has so much more to throw under there.

I'll bet they were checking for more open directories.

If I were in charge of that web site and I discovered that the designers had made such a ridiculously amateurish mistake, heads would roll.

When they deny that the "ugly" stuff was

A)from Obama supporters or
B) approved by Obama,

we need to pin them down on whether they agree the content was objectionable and just plain hateful.

"That doesn't reflect Obama."

"So, you admit that support of Mumia, the cop killer, is ugliness?"
"So, you admit that support of Marxism is ugliness?"
"So, you admit that support of anti-semitism is ugliness?"
"So, you admit that support of the Black Panthers is ugliness?"

re: #21 MadNachos

Those responsible for throwing "thrown under the bus" under the bus have themselves been thrown under the bus.

They will spin this as necessary because of the "just plain mean typical white people" over at LGF. It won't matter to the kool aid crowd though.....Obama could stomp a puppy and eat it live on TV and it would not phase the ObamaZombies

You got 'em on the run, Charles! Good work! :-)

OT: I found this very interesting while looking at National Review Online today:

An Unconventional Fix for Fuel Prices

An astonishing thing happened last Thursday and Friday: oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose by almost $17 per barrel, or roughly 14 percent. At the same time, the wholesale price for unleaded gasoline added another $0.36 per gallon, or 11 percent.

Media and analysts were quick to blame this unprecedented spike on the declining value of the dollar, on brewing tension between Israel and Iran, and on increasing demand for oil in China, India, and other expanding economies. But this was a market event, not an economic or geopolitical one: Futures trading and speculation is unquestionably putting upside pressure on oil prices.

He proposes some fixes that might work. Comments?

Maybe they were just changing all the Administrative passwords from

hope
to
change.

A crack team of cybernauts will form a rapid response internet “war room” to track and respond aggressively to online rumours that Barack Obama is unpatriotic and a Muslim.

What they meant to say is:

"A team of cybernauts on crack will form a rapid response internet “war room” to track and respond aggressively to online rumours that Barack Obama is unpatriotic and a Muslim."

Not sure about the Muslim part, but the unpatriotic part is spot on...

Will BHO’s leftiest followers turn on him for “rejecting” them as he tries to give the impression of moving to the center, or will they just pipe down knowing that he can return to his default setting after the election? Piping down isn't their strong suit though.

Charles, you would never have hired anyone incompetent. Obama breathes incompetence for breakfast.

Gad, the Obama is now promising the "middle class" tax breaks on their mortgages. Betcha in the small print it only applies to selected minorities and deadbeats.Because he cares soooo much.

2 dems on Cavuto's show just said they won't vote for obama because he stole the primary. Won't vote even is hill on the ballot as vp.

Could be that Obama's IT department went out for a bike ride like the boss and they all had flat tires like him. Or maybe their bicycle helmets were, um... too tight, like Barry's?

How many Electoral votes does Alberta get?

Maybe some MSM news outlet just covered the Blogs O'Hate story, and a massive influx of hits took the site offline?

Someone has to get the site under control, remove the trash and then give the moderators explicit guidelines on what is acceptable. A free for all does more harm than good. It shouldn't take Charles to reveal the idiots in charge over there.

Meh, this happens all the time. Generally when they have large fund drives the my* pages seem to be off-line.

My suspicion was that those resources were directed to campaign contributions.

At one point I noticed header links manually change away from the my* pages (manually because I could see the links commented out and later they forgot to comment one of them back in when they restored the resources).

I think it looks flakey and I can't explain after the number of times this has been done why they haven't come up with a better solution.

Mucking around with the free market isn't a good idea, though I think the *concept* of doing something to burst the bubble is a good one.

There are several things that *could* do that:
a. Announcing exploration offshore and/or in ANWAR.
b. Bush announcing he's going to stop filling (or start tapping) the strategic petroleum reserve.

On Krauthammer, I think he's a sharp guy, and I often agree with him, but in this case, I believe he's off his rocker with respect to establishing a tax to set a floor price on gasoline. That helps nobody.

How many buses do they have over there?

Obama's webbers probably just took down the site for a long-overdue overhaul and decontamination.

lol, someone at mybarack was just wondering why the site is slow today. For commies they sure talk about money a lot.

The DNC blog has been down most of the time since the Friday before the Rules Committee meeting. That's a week and a half ago. The technical people keep saying they are working on it. It goes in and out - there have been something like 50 posts getting thru in all that time.

You may recall that the DNC blog is under the administration of Howard Dean, the former Presidential candidate widely credited for bringing the blogosphere into the political race back in 2004.

Sucks to be the Dems when your only response to an electoral loss is "stolen election".

Since they couldn't trust Democracy (EG simple majority vote) to pick their own nominee, perhaps they should rename themselves the "sore loser" party.

Gad, the Obama is now promising the "middle class" tax breaks on their mortgages. Betcha in the small print it only applies to selected minorities and deadbeats.Because he cares soooo much.

How about allowing homeowners to deduct ALL of their mortgage interest? At present, if you make above a certain amount of money (and it's not all that much), your deduction is limited. Between that and the alternative minimum tax, we have been seriously screwed several times. Apparently, "rich" is now defined as a middle-aged married professional couple who are finally earning decent money.
