MSNBC--Lieberman's website hacked; he's blaming Lamont supporters

[Skidmore]

for an attack.

Wanna bet Rove schooled someone in this and it's a dirty trick of their own making. Smacks of desparation.

[ronnykmarshall]

1. Yeah right, Joe.

God he's desperate.

[Skidmore]

2. Where'd you get that cute little jackass?

[ronnykmarshall]

8. I saw it around here a while back.

Ain't he cute?

[mmonk]

3. Poor St. Joe

Could be true, might not. Does he have any proof?

[Beelzebud]

4. Attacked, or he forgot to pay the fucking hosting bill?

His webpage says his account has been suspended for using too much bandwidth.

Fucking republicans.

[debbierlus]

5. No. He probably shut it down and then blamed Lamont

Mark my words. There will be a story AFTER the election is over to correct this....

Rove trick....through and through...and through....

Progressives are smarter than this...They know they will be blamed!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

25. you got that right. This is a Rovian trick, and Dweeberman

got his plan from him.

[stop the bleeding]

6. who cares - does his website have any bearing on the outcome of the

race?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

39. if their internal mail is connected, then

two things pop up.
a) they had a really stupid set up and did not have adequate firewalls.
b) they may suffer from a lack of e-mail coordinateion. But, I understand that the state of CT is blessed with this new technology called the telephone. Some even are cellular!

[Cha]

47. And, I read on DU that

lie-man has been leaving 10 minutes campaign speeches on said telephone answering machines.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

50. 10 MINUTE campaign speeches on voice mail? R they NUTS?

wait, that was rhetorical.

[Cha]

7. Call me crazy but I

don't think Lamont Supporters would do that..that sounds more like a roverarian tactic to hack it themselves and blame Lamont supporters.

Dirty phone tricks in New Hampshire, anyone?

[dogday]

12. On Election Day No Less

Making it BREAKING NEWS to boot and Lamont can't even defend himself... Dirty pool....

[ronnykmarshall]

13. Plus it will be generate hits to the site

and crash it anyway.

What a putz he is.

[dogday]

14. If anyone had any doubts as to where

Lieberman's loyalties lie, here is living proof of who he is...

[Mist]

40. Lamont just has to say: "My esteemed opponent needs to pay for

his bandwith. Joe, learn the internets!"

[janx]

27. Some right wingers probably did it.

Jumping to the conclusion that it was Lamont supporters is a bit over the top.

[tridim]

38. A bit over the top, and slanderous

It's either a dirty trick or Lieberman's web staff just sucks.

[havocmom]

9. Rove wouldn't have to school anybody

The GOP seems to have a ready army of hackers.

[never_get_over_it]

10. Rove - no question eom

[Hubert Flottz]

11. Joe has turned into a conspiracy nut!

He's CRAZY!

NOBODY would tamper with anything on election day Joe! Shit like that don't REALLY happen does it?

[LynzM]

15. INFO AT ConnecticutBlog

Info embedded as replies to a post, with replies from the (supposed?) webmaster for Lieberman. Very professional, actually.

[w4rma]

16. LIEberman is a menace. Noone hacked his worthless site.

Anyway, if they did, who is to say it wasn't from someone from another country. It's my understanding that this race is getting worldwide attention.

[WhiteTara]

17. a excercise torn from Rove's playbook

Shut up Loser Liar Lieberman. We've watched this trick done before by better than you.

edited to add: In another thread, Joe's website was shut down for lack of payment.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. GasBag Limbaugh just said It was Lamont people that did it.

How would he know?

[Norquist Nemesis]

26. Joe gave him a head's up!

:shrug:

[TheCowsCameHome]

36. You could be right..

[Cha]

43. It's in the playbook..play

dirty tricks up to the last second and get the limpballs to cry foulbreath out over his Toykorose airwaves.

[Nutmegger]

19. He's using anything now.

He's getting desperate so he has to use something. Like us "evil bloggers" have nothing else better to do. :eyes:

[Renew Deal]

20. The website clearly says "Suspended Page" on it.

[NVMojo]

21. Wah, just like the old party office breakin routine, only more visible.

Clever fat bastard, Rove.

[MrCoffee]

22. Paranoid Much?

[buff2]

23. ROVE/REPUKE DIRTY TRICKS!

They don't play any other way but DIRTY. They make me sick.

[Norquist Nemesis]

24. Tweety reports it's the Pajamahadeens!

:sarcasm:

[glitch]

28. Slander. Lamont should sue. Reeks of tired old Rove trick. nt

[Recursion]

29. Sludge was running this really early today

I wonder how he got clued in?

[myrna minx]

30. I wonder why he didn't bug his own office? That is a proven

Rovian tactic. :shrug: Since Lieberman is taking his cues from the republicans, you'd think he'd use the tried and true.

[jackstraw45]

31. Hey Joe, - welcome to the party...

OUR ELECTION was hacked in 2004....

[arcos]

32. It was not hacked, he forgot to pay nt

[quiet.american]

33. Phase II. Phase I was the bought and paid for Brooks Bro. rioters.

Phase III will no doubt involve strange but familiar election return numbers.

(This website thing smacks of the time Karl Rove apparently bugged his own office and blamed it on the opposition.)

[ChairmanAgnostic]

34. those evil people on the internets.

How dare they say things about Joe, and his family, therefore, THEY shut down his website.

What
B U L L S H I T.
The good thing is that Tweety is hitting this hard with Sean Smith, Dweebermen' campaign manager.

I actually like Tweety on this issue.

[Skidmore]

35. Sean Smith talking to Tweety now and saying that he has no

proof and is not accusing Lamont's group but implying that it is the internet supporters somehow that has done this. Saying that Lamont will not stand up to his supporters.

Tweety got him to say he doesn't know who is behind it, but Smith is persisting in stating that Lamont could tell whoever that they should "cease & desist."

[VolcanoJen]

37. Ummm.... has everyone seen the latest post on the Lieberman site?

The Account Suspended graphic has been replaced by this:

UPDATE ON THE ATTACK ON THE LIEBERMAN CAMPAIGN WEBSITE

STATEMENT FROM SEAN SMITH: "For the past 24 hours the Friends for Joe Lieberman's website and email has been totally disrupted and disabled, we believe that this is the result of a coordinated attack by our political opponents. The campaign has notified the US Attorney and the Connecticut Chief State's Attorney and the campaign will be filing a formal complaint reflecting our concerns. The campaign has also notified the State Attorney General Dick Blumenthal for his review."

"We call on Ned Lamont to make an unqualified statement denouncing this kind of dirty campaign trick and to demand whoever is responsible to cease and desist immediately. Any attempt to suppress voter participation and undermine the voting process on Election Day is deplorable and has no place in our democracy."

Unbelievable!!!!!

[Skidmore]

41. Lamont should tell him stuff it and he better be backing accusations

up with proof.

[Norquist Nemesis]

45. Ah...must have been Gonzo at Joe's office yesterday

with an ensemble of Secret Service in tow.

[mhatrw]

48. !!!

[Iniquitous Bunny]

42. HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS ON JOE'S SITE:

The entire DIRECT quote:

"UPDATE ON THE ATTACK ON THE LIEBERMAN CAMPAIGN WEBSITE

STATEMENT FROM SEAN SMITH: "For the past 24 hours the Friends for Joe Lieberman's website and email has been totally disrupted and disabled, we believe that this is the result of a coordinated attack by our political opponents. The campaign has notified the US Attorney and the Connecticut Chief State's Attorney and the campaign will be filing a formal complaint reflecting our concerns.

"We call on Ned Lamont to make an unqualified statement denouncing this kind of dirty campaign trick and to demand whoever is responsible to cease and desist immediately. Any attempt to suppress voter participation and undermine the voting process on Election Day is deplorable and has no place in our democracy." "


To point blame without cause is libel, isn't it? Dirty trick, Joe. Lamont is doing well on his own merits. You are sleaze!

[blonndee]

44. How the fuck do they know who did it? What a bunch of slimebags. nt

[Skidmore]

49. They don't know it. They are attempting a Rovian type

smear.

[Craig3410]

46. Joe Lieberman, Conservative Idiot.

Come on. :)

(Hey, it's "Conservative idiot", not "Republican Idiot". Do it.)

[Gregorian]

51. Hey Joe, get irate about hacking the vote.

I would bet anything that Lieberman is more upset about his hacked website than the hacked voting in America.
