Freepers try to crash electoral-vote.com site

[quaoar]

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

The site has had technical problems repeatedly in the past several days and has been down several times. I didn't want to discuss this, but I don't want anyone to think the problem was an incompetent hosting service. Just the opposite. The site has been subjected to a full-scale, well-organized, massive attack with the clear intention to bring it down. The attackers have tried repeatedly to break in, but the server is a rock-solid Linux system which has stood up to everything they threw at it and hasn't crashed since I got it in May. While our troops are fighting and dying to bring freedom of speech to the Iraqi people, there are forces in America who find this concept no longer applicable to America. I don't know who is behind this attack yet (although we are working it), but it is too professional to be some teenager working from a home PC. Given that all the hate mail and threats I get come entirely from Republicans, I can make an educated guess which side is trying to silence me, but I won't say. And I won't surrender to cyberterrorists.

2. Thanks quaor. I hate to see you have to put up with this BS, but

I question what they think they're accomplishing by this.

In a few weeks, Nov.2nd will be here, and the projections, and polls won't mean a thing!

Are they just trying to hide the inevitable?

5. WTF? Why would anyone send hate-mail to that site?

It seems completely non-partisan to me. It looks like some people really don't like free access to information. :wtf:

6. right-wingers are trying to silence anything that isn't pro-*

it's no longer enough to be non-partisan - they have morphed into full-on brownshirts...

11. That explains that odor of boot-polish in the air

I was wondering where that came from . . .

8. I am truely sorry to hear it.

I go to your website frequently and I'll just say thanks for putting this together.
I don't understand what motivates people to vandalize things they may not understand or agree with.

Hope you catch the morons.

12. Anyone who isn't slanted toward * is the enemy, apparently. I'm

beginning to hear the name electoral-vote.com on the bipartisan forum I participate in. The freepers are aware of it and don't like that they occasionally have Kerry in the lead. But one quoted the site today, since it has * ahead in EVs.

I hope they catch the bastards. Don't they know that if they do that to a neutral site, something like that will happen to a freeper site? But no one ever said that Repubs are smart (except themselves).
