Who Do **YOU** Think Hacked Joe's Website?

[Stinky The Clown]

This whole website hack issue is bad news. NOBODY wins because of it.

Some say a Lamont suporter did it. Some say it was a puposeful inside job. (So far) no one is accusing the official Lamont organization of doing it ..... so far .....

Using your critical thinking skills and not voting from your heart, who do you think is responsible?

[Nimrod2005]

1. Karl Rove trick...nt

[Taverner]

2. It's pretty clear that they didn't pay their bills

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

3. I agree. They probably didn't pay their bills...

...and decided to take advantage of the situation to get a ton of sympathy press.

[Caution]

no, it isn't. the hosting company pretty much cleared that up

It looks like a standard DOS type attack, most likley from some misguided Lamont supporter. Either way, Lieberman looks like a fool (again). I can't wait to hear his concession speech. Hopefully he's not so damned arrogant that he follows through and runs as an independent.

[Recursion]

29. DOS or slashdot effect?

It wouldn't have to be an actual DOS; it could be the /. effect from a bunch of DUers, Freepers, and God knows who else checking in on Joe on a primary day, frying a server that was only spec'ed out to handle a statewide level of traffic.

[Caution]

32. Very true

Though Lieberman's campaign is claiming to have evidence of an attack (who knows about the veracity of that though, most ISP sysadmins know nothing about diagnosing traffic related problems, and even less about determining if that problem is due to some form of attack).

[groton]

4. dang Bill Gates

Defently it was the Blue Screan of Death :)

[slackmaster]

31. Server appears to be a Linux box running Apache

But don't let that get in the way of a good rant.

[Recursion]

34. Dang Linus Torvalds! n/t

[Lerkfish]

5. EVEN IF lamont hacked it (which is preposterous), that doesn't make

Lieberman and more attractive choice.

[Lerkfish]

6. PARLOCK!!!!!I"M SERIES!!!111!!!!!

you didn't have Parlock as a choice.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Hahahahahaha

Damn ... I forgot PARLOCK!!!!111!!11

Lest we forget:

[LisaM]

7. Rove Rover Roviest

God, I'd forgotten about that fool Parlock! Does he live in Connecticut?

[Atman]

9. I think it's all a bunch of crap from whining Joe to drum up support.

Any chance DU gave the Lieberman campaign the idea to blame it on Ned yesterday, when this first was discovered? Deep in the particular thread, one poster suggested that it would be perfect for Joe to suggest that Ned did it and start a sympathy campaign. And then today, viola, what's Joe doing?

I have developed and run a few web sites. If the site had been hacked, it would NOT have taken them so long to figure it out. Someone somewhere screwed up, or intentionally did this as a Rovian sympathy tactic. Joe has nothing else left.

10. Joe should've used his PayPal acct to pay his bill

Liberal bumper stickers

[wellstone dem]

11. It's those darned North Dakota or Iowa kids

they always do stuff like this. I'm from Minnesota, I should know.

[bowens43]

12. We're supposed to believe the Lieberman campaign?

there was no hack

[leesa]

13. Sounds like GOP to me....only they would have logic that included

voters being disenfranchised because they couldn't go to his website on the day of the election! How could that possibly matter? I think they are trying, as usual, to pre-empt the charges of voter manipulation by trotting out this last minute, poorly thought out, "they do it too" trick.

[FSogol]

14. Pajama-wearing fringe liberals, like you guys....

:eyes:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

15. kick

16. "Abortion doctors" riding unicorns.

:bounce:

[Catchawave]

17. I had to go with the kid in Fargo....

:rofl:

I doubt Lamont or Lieberman's campaigns had anything to do with it directly, but the Lieberman Campaign should STFU.

18. Bev Harris

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Aww geeeeeeze .......

.... there goes this whole thread!

[Cocoa]

22. I should be more careful with these things

I keep forgetting they're not toys.

[Stinky The Clown]

30. Hahahaha

:scared: :hide: :scared:

[mikelgb]

19. It was Mel Gibson!

[returnable]

20. nt

[Gregorian]

23. A dirty liberal! Conservatives would never hack anything.

If he can't keep his website up, I don't want him in office.

edit- They were hacked once already. We'ren't they prepared for another? Geez.

[GeorgeGist]

24. kkkarl

[militaryWife]

25. it's an excuse to run as an independent

and to explain away his defeat...."see I WOULD have won, but these crazy Lamont hackers..."

[myrna minx]

26. Milhouse: [steps up to blackboard] Ahem.

Milhouse: Ahem. OK, here's what we've got: the
Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people --
Bart: Thank you.
Milhouse: -- under the supervision of the reverse vampires --
Lisa: sighs


ON edit: I don't think it was hacked at all. I think that they didn't pay their bills, and ran with the "hacking" story.

[oasis]

27. Other: Not Hacked. (nt)

[Recursion]

28. I voted "purely accident"...

...because that was the closest to my guess: not expecting heavy traffic on primary day, the traffic either killed their server or overstepped their hosting plan.

Managers, particularly in politics, tend to become gibbering morons whenever tech issues are being discussed (it's like a series of tubes, see...), so somehow the idea got out that they were 'hacked'.

33. It was Colonel Mustard in the server room with a lead pipe nt

[Gregorian]

35. IT'S CLINTON'S FAULT.

Sorry. I'm getting carried away in all of this excitement. I better step away from the politics for a few. Go Ned!

[Eurobabe]

36. The NSA

for Joe.

[quiet.american]

37. This is in line with the "accidental supporter"/paid lobbyist.

My money would be it's a scheme kicked up by the Lieberman camp Brooks Brother lobbyist/paid disruptor.

[obreaslan]

38. Probably the same monkey they trained to break into the Diebold machines.

:rofl:

[Marnieworld]

39. Clinton's Penis!
