I think this "hacking" stunt is a desperate ploy by Joe

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

How can Joe make this accusation without having any proof. His side could have hacked it to point blame at Lamont. There anre any number of possible reasons why the site is dead.

I smell a rat.

1. It's the equivalent of

peeing your pants in public....
in fact it IS peeing your pants in public.

Joe's going down without one ounce of grace.
Sore loserman indeed.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. If this is a political ploy (which I think it is) its a stupid one

Too late Joe. Methinks he may use it to prolong counting the votes or some other tomfoolery.

[LincolnMcGrath]

3. This is just Joe, mimicking Karl Rove.

[Fredda Weinberg]

4. Please show me where Lieberman made this accusation

I've searched news reports and can't find that detail.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. What? ok - here's just 3 front page articles

29. Let's try this again

I'm not bothering past the first link ... it contained no quotes from Lieberman accusing Lamont.

[truebrit71]

7. You're kidding right? How about here....

..http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14245779/

Good enough?

[Fredda Weinberg]

10. Nope - again, there's no quote from Lieberman

and his campaign suspects "political opponents". So do I.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. Check what his campaign manager said - before you insult more people

""This type of dirty politics has been a staple of the Lamont campaign from the beginning, from the nonstop personal attacks to the intimidation tactics and offensive displays to these coordinated efforts to disable our Web site,"

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

18. Why stop? LET her insult more people! Hey Frida!

I, too, construe this accusations as coming from Lieberman. Is it true that I can't read either?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. You apparently can read her responses so there you go

I don't know how I found my way to those sites given my illiteracy

[Fredda Weinberg]

28. It's not an insult - you just don't seem to be able to read the question

I ask again ... where's the quote from Lieberman?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

30. Wow - you're either being really naive or you're messing with me

[Fredda Weinberg]

31. No, I just think you were careless w/your accusation

As apparently, Lieberman's campaign manager was with his.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. ok - nice talking to you

Go Ned!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

40. Yo, what am I, chopped liver?

I agree with CStT, and you STILL haven't told me whether I'm illiterate like him or not.

[asthmaticeog]

15. There neednt be a quote from Lieberman.

On issues that pertain to his campaign, his managers speak for him. Anything they say can fairly be construed as his words unless he specifically rebukes them.

[truebrit71]

17. Um, whom do you suppose RUNS the Lieberman campaign? Betty Boop?

...

[Critters2]

26. That would explain a lot eom

[Placebo]

5. Of course it's a political stunt...

and just reeks of Rovian political tactics.

KOS explains it quite well: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/8/8/153827/3493

So the Lieberman campaign with their millions of dollars are too cheap to pay more than $15 a month for hosting? And then their low trafficked site goes down the day before a primary when they were probably getting TONS of hits, and what do they do? They avoid their own total incompetence and set out to blame the other side, accusing THEM of dirty tricks.

The Lamont campaign is the grown up here. They've offered to send over someone to help get the Lieberman site up and running AND are offering a Google cache version of the joe2006.com site on the LAMONT BLOG!

Think Lieberman would do the same? That's right, I don't either.

:thumbsup:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

13. IF the site was hacked, which I am hearing it was not

it could have been hacked by
ANYONE IN THE WORLD

Lamont is the one who is suffering from "scurrilous" charges. You could ask some questions about why the Lieberman camp would put this out .

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. That's what I was doing with this thread

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

25. I know that, and you know that, but do THEY know that?

:thumbsup:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

27. ha

:D

[high density]

14. I agree... No proof, so WTF?

It's amazing how Rovian political ploys like this can easily generate completely BS reporting in this idiotic media. It's so much cheaper and more effective than a press release service!

[RandomKoolzip]

16. Sure it is.

You just want to see Israel get destroyed, you bastard! :cry:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. Heh

What gave me away - my unquestioning support of Joe-Mentum? :D

[RandomKoolzip]

22. Nah. Joe Mama told me.

In the meantime, please don't Joeke about this kind of stuff. It's Dan-Joe-rous.

Oh, and learn to read, too! :grr:

[union_maid]

23. I doubt it's a ploy

The complete and utter bewilderment I see by owners whenever a site goes down, even for a little while is consistent with all this loopiness. Joe's staff probably doesn't really get the internets. Whoever was in charge of his site probably didn't even know how to look around to get a reliable webhost who provides things like redundancy and load balance. And lots and lots of servers. If they had that, a spike in bandwidth would show up on their bill, but it wouldn't crash the site.

[Guava Jelly]

24. I agree with you on that one

:)

That's why when people were on to him, he pulled the accusations as fast as he could.

41. It's Got KKKarl Written All Over It.

The book/movie "Bu$h's Brain" gives numerous examples of KKK's tactics, which resemble this incident a lot. I can think of one example - when rove bugged his own campaign office right before an election in Texas.
Sorry, I can't remember if it was gubernatorial, senatorial, or something else.
