GOP Websites Being Hacked in Protest of Inauguration

Republican Websites Hacked in Protest of Inaugurations; DU shouting its approval

Six Republican websites recently fell victim to left-wing cyber extremists, intent on shutting off what they do not want freedom-loving, free-speech backers to hear. Democratic Underground posters are praising the effort. The following is an excerpt of what is currently being posted on the DU site:

NOT MY PRESIDENT, NOT MY WAR! THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE!
In solidarity with the billions around the world who are being oppressed under the Bush agenda, The Internet Liberation Front has hacked and defaced six Republican websites who push forward the sick and violent ideology of warfare, capitalism, and profit over people.

(snip) We will not be their slaves and let them get away with murder. Activists and hackers alike are rising up to resist the Bush administration using street protest, sabatage, and hacktivism. You won't hear about it on their televisions cause the revolution is in the streets!
The massive counter-inauguration protests in DC is only the beginning. Expect four more years of resistance to the U.S. war machine. Hacktivists of the world, unite!

This is why we should continue to vote to maintain adults in leadership. We had 8 years of these kind of children in the 90's.

Any person or organisation who runs a high profile political website in this day and age of political/social controversy and internet vandalism without adequate protection (firewalling, snort based IDS, zero nonessential services, etc) really needs to have their collective heads examined.

Was this one of the chants that Laura Ingram was helping the left come up with? She was commenting on how lame these fringe groups' chants were and offered her radio show as a forum for new chants these dimwits could use.

Interesting response by the Dems on a day supposedly of national unity. I will pray for these people, but I don't know if I want to be "united" with them.

You won't "see" it on their televisions "because" the video media supports these efforts and doesn't want Amercians to hear about it if they can help it.

Agreed...but you left off true Intrusion Prevention, such as the IntruShield from McAfee Security. It goes beyond the IDS and actually prevents intrusions!

What sites are supposedly being hacked? I just opened a couple of random ones, and they all are functioning normally.

I guess now that the DUers have flipped out and endorsed breaking the law and radical revolution, the rest of us can safely ignore them and hope that they don't get themselves locked up. But if they do something to get themselves locked up, I hope they get punished in accordance with the law.

Who cares if they hit the FREEP, they won't shut us up. We're still going to speak our minds, and we are going to continue to support candidates whose views we agree with. To paraphrase the Inaugural Address, you can't stop freedom.

Hmmm. Protests, friends in the media, forged documents, hate-Bush books, anti-Bush movies, attempts to silence cyber crime, "revolutions in the streets"...and George Bush is still President. I love this country.

You know some of the people I know have been talking about these things the Dems are doing I.E. stealing elections (Wash Gov), slashing tires (election day) violently protesting, and now hacking sites etc not to mention the shooting into Rep Elections offices during the Election; and it is starting to appear like we have the beginnings of a Civil War on our hands. Does anybody out there see it that way?

These people are the rotten ones, not the system. They are lucky they live in this country. The tyrants they support would chop off their heads for protesting them. Perhaps some first class tickets to a third world country should be their punishment if caught. (One way of course.)

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to another four years of grinding their noses into the concrete. Let THEM (try to) unite with US. :)
