BAWHAHAHAHAHA!

Is it some sort of personal hygiene site?

Super Duper Extra Bwahahhahahahahaha!

Figures...

It took that long? Huh.

Bwa ha ha ha ha!

That's a great laugh.

Oh, I see my reaction was the same as everyone else's.

Sorry to be redundant.

:)

LOL. and Lol again.

OMG!

The "spread the word" links are all Rick Rolls! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I thought it was a site for DIY Pap tests.

That is hilarious.

I would think an edu-ma-cated woman like Michelle would call us Crackers, not Crackas!

I love it.

First job for the new network security droid: teach network security.

How long before they blame Charles?

If Obama is President, I wouldn't imagine the Chinese would even bother to pay for our nuclear secrets. They could just get them off our USA.org website.

Too funny...the network guy is working out really well.

Those darn Chinese hackers!

Dont worry Obama we can "Change" your Message of hope any time we want !

/hackers

Click on nuclear secrets. The password is Kaboom.

It's a parody site.

YJCMTSU!

Now thats funny I don't care who you are.

That is the not real site! It's a fake site, not the real Obama site. It was not hacked.

I'm a glutton for irony...

Yum yum! More please

The man is incompetent. Why is he running for President? Who would hire this man to work for them in any managerial or decision-making capacity?

Super duper super fast demonstration of leadership and judgement. Comrade Obama comes up wanting on all points.

I think that might be a domain owned by someone else. Fightthesmears.com redirects to the correct page.

This Site Is Just a Parody and for those who take it seriously you shouldn't be voting in the first place.

As funny as it is, I think that's a separate parody site.

re: #16 gibsonz

Too funny...the network guy is working out really well.

Bahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I'd say that he definitely has his work cut out for him. Not an auspicious beginning...

At the bottom of the page:
This Site is in no way Affiliated with the Obama Campaign and is just a parody. The John McCain site will be ready soon.

This is going to be fun.

They did register the .com, they did not register the .org.

And the .org domain is already in the spam blacklist! I tried emailing a couple friends with the .org domain in my message, and it was blocked.

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error.

I don't get it. I'm not usually this dense but the first thing I saw was: "This Site Is Just a Parody and for those who take it seriously you shouldn't be voting in the first place." Is this part of the hack?

I like Obama. I think he'd make America more—what's the word?—secure.

Must have the same IP security staff as mybarackobama.com.

Considering the web savvy Maroons working for the Dahli-Bama, this is just more of the same.
The current webmaster will have to go under the bus. Damn it getting crowded under there.

It does say that the site is a parody, but it looked more serious and genuine this morning. Is this a 'rope-a-dope'?

And secondly they wouldn't know the truth if it smacked em in the ass.

Yup, just a parody. It shows ignorance of how the Web works, not of how to secure a site. Kinda like Whitehouse.com.

You have got to be kidding me! Though this excuse about it being a fake site?

Somebody asked on the previous thread why Obama's campaign would bother to release a fake birth certificate through KOS. Charles I think. It dawned on my while I was pulling weeds that there is a very good reason for that. If it is accepted as his birth certificate, all well and good.

And if it is a fake, the heat is on KOS and Obama can safely throw him under the bus with Grandma!

Parody

No.. its a parody site on .org

HOWEVER that shouldn't 'forgive' the webmasters they SHOULD have registered at LEAST .com (they did that one), .net and .org and possibly .us and .info

Thats the amateur part of all this.

Dang I jinxed with Charles.... 13 second difference

re: #25 mama winger

The man is incompetent. Why is he running for President? Who would hire this man to work for them in any managerial or decision-making capacity?

I don't know. I suspect my local McDonald's would not hire him because he has no management experience at all. I know that one of the largest employees in the area would not hire him, because they require all of their employees to have at least one full year of management experience - not community rabble rousing. I am darned positive not a fortune 500 on the planet would hire him as a CEO, because he has absolutely no track record.

You tell me why we should even consider him for what is the single most responsible management position on the planet?

The really sad thing is that I might consider voting for Obama if he really did pledge allegiance to soultrain.

why is it already blacklisted? no reason for that afaik. It was fair game.

The owners of the parody site should see how much the Obama campaign Soros would pay to get the .org domain back. And donate it to McCain (minus a reasonable commission).

UPDATE at 6/12/08 2:01:50 pm:

I didn’t notice that the address of this site is FightTheSmears.ORG, not .COM ... this is a parody site. But it’s no less amateurish — because what happened is that they forgot to register the .org domain. Another beginner’s mistake.

Mistakes all 'round, then... we all make mistakes.

The fightthesmear site doesn't really bother me. Yet, at least. It could be used as a back-handed way to smear others -- McCain, namely -- but so far it seems to fill the purpose it claims.

ya looks like someone created a parody site. No hacking involved.

re: #52 Cygnus

BYOB

Regardless of this being a different site, why wouldn't they buy up every extension? Are they so stupid they think no one will buy the others up immediately? Do they actually believe the MSM hype that they are beloved and revered and ... taken seriously? Obama team -- ever heard of covering all bases? Preparing for every eventuality?

Again: Has no ability to run an organization. Has no business running this country.

re: #44 Charles
You are right, they should have registered all of the TLDs or at least the big ones.

Yes... .MOBI.

fightthesmears.com is real and part of the campaign site.

This doesn't look like a hack, more of a parody site.

Obama Refuses to ride the Straight Talk BUS Tonight

Please tune into The Fox News Channel tonight at 7PM EDT to watch the first 2008 Presidential Town Hall, broadcast from Federal Hall in New York City. This historic location is where President George Washington first took the oath of office. Tonight it will play host to John McCain while he answers questions from real voters about important issues including the economy, energy prices and the war.

Last week, John McCain invited Senator Obama to participate tonight, hoping to start what would be a series of ten town hall meetings where both candidates would travel the country to answer questions from real voters. Senator Obama has yet to agree to meet us in these town halls. These town halls would revolutionize our political process and start a real change in the tone of politics. John McCain believes in this effort and is putting it into action.

Please tune into the Fox News Channel, tonight at 7PM EDT to witness first-hand John McCain's brand of straight talk with voters.

Maybe Obama could sit down and talk to the folks at ICANN--without preconditions--and bring this whole horrible situation to a peaceful conclusion.

But I want more Rickroll. Maybe a little Hammer, too.

You know, I haven't had this much fun on LGF in a long time. Charles has been on a roll lately and the comments have been (excluding trolls) simply smashing.

The decision came down 5 to 4. Not clear yet which swing justice sided with the four Liberals.Geraldo was just on Fox with Meygn Kelly screaming like a fool about how this corrected an injstice.
Have to wonder if the Court will next rule that they have a right to vote in November. You know, so that the Obama vote is not surpressed.

Gotta go. See everyone tomorrow.

Charles,

Maybe we should suggest that Markos do the security for Obama's site. After all, he's done such a good job of keeping all the wackos off his own site.

Rick Rolled will fight the smears.

Vote Obama for Change! Change to a newer, funnier, sillier presidency! Yay.

Is that some sort of Anti-Semite site? I had a bagel with a smear the other day, some folks associate that fare with Jewish delis.

As a note: This parody pretty much is just changing the "truth" bits. The original site has the same "lies". And the site itself IS lying. Limbaugh, on his show, only mentioned the tape to say it sounded like "why'd he", and gave it no more attention or credit than that.

Well, I do know the astrologers needed it for the exact time of birth...maybe they were complaining.

Most of what I read expressed curiousity about his name (Barry or Barack) and religion (Christian/Muslim/None/etc.). Of course, those bits of info are not included on what he released.

The big todo I recall was the Dems saying that Senator McCain was not eligible, having been born in Panama, but that was shot down.

In today's world, any issue not completely and utterly verified is open to speculation. I have seen questions raised about his citizenship, he would have been wise to release his birth certificate before now. Holding private documents you promise to make public (a pledge he made) is not a good idea; ask John Kerry.

I hope Crissy Matthews' leg is okay after this disaster!

The guy is a Pornographer. He admits it on the .org website. He took down the parody page and put up a bunch of links to the porn sites that I assume he owns and runs. CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK.

(I think he knows that us conservative bloggers are linking to this).

The Obama camp sure looks a lot like the Spinal Tap movie

Karl Rove..you magnificent Bastard

Despite the .org address almost every smart web designer for something as big as a POTUS canidate would try to register as many variants of the domain they try use as possible.

If the Obama campaign intends to fight smears, perhaps they need to get what the subjects actually said correct.

On the front page:

LIE: Rush Limbaugh says a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United

When you click through on 'Continue Reading':

On May 30th, Rush Limbaugh said he had heard a rumor that a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “Whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.

That's two different things.
Transcript from Rush's show

This is me on May 30th, and this is what I said about this.

RUSH ARCHIVE: There are these rumors circulating — and I don’t know if this is true, but there are a number of people suggesting — and I first heard this, by the way, when I was gone Monday and Tuesday of last week.

RUSH: Okay, stop the tape, stop the tape. That would have May 14th and 15th or whatever when I was out there playing Torrey Pines, so the middle of May. That’s when I first heard this. What is it now? June the 12th. So this is about a month ago that I said this, and all of a sudden now this becomes front-page news, thanks to the AP and the Drive-By Media.

How many people have clicked through instead of just reading the line on the front page that is obviously false?
