Tax Day Tea Party Issues with TaxDayTeaParty.com - Explanation

Posted: 29 Mar 2009 06:44 PM PDT

An international effort to shut down the TaxDayTeaParty.com website has been detected by our technical staff. Internet experts commonly call this type of attack a Denial of Service (DOS) attack. Corrective measures are being implemented, and the site should be fully accessible again within 48 hours.

Unfortunately, these DOS attacks are very difficult to trace. In this case, the attacks have come from both domestic and international sources. All we know for certain at this point is that a group of people want to stop this movement. We will not allow this to happen. This citizens’ movement will not be stopped.

We will be issuing an official press release on this issue on Monday, March 30th.

Sunday, March 29th - TaxDayTeaParty.com Leadership Team

At present, the site is inaccessible. Updates and links will be posted downthread.

The 0bamamessiah and the Corruptocrats are frightened.

They thought that we were all sheep and would blindly go along with the “Hope And Change”(TM).

why are they frightened, they hold the highest offices in the land blessed by the dems who are the sheeple.

Because they're making a very big bold move that will either result in glorious victory or end in humiliating defeat and a long lasting hatred of anything remotely socialist/communist. The long slow incremental buildup disguised by sophistry and semantics is over. This is the push to take it all.

[television is just wrong]

sometimes I ask questions to lay it on the line for people who won’t.

Thanks!

Shutdown?

Is this art of the openness and transparently the Left talks about...???

[Salamander]

Will there ever be any tea parties in the Hagerstown/Frederick MD area?

This is serious — if some people (George Soros?) are trying to shut down taxdayteaparty.com ! I will be very interested to hear their press release today.

At worst, this DOS attack is an inconvenience. The web allows us to go ‘round the hub and connect directly to the individual nodes.

The good news is we know they’re worried. And the pushback from this will be even more.

[Texas Fossil]

The list from Cape Coral were politely e-mailed.

Thanks for the info.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Are we here at FR protected against attacks like this?

[paulycy]

Are we here at FR protected against attacks like this?

Only my speculation: It's possible that FR won't answer on this. If they say "yes" then that could prompt some idiot to test it. Saying "no" is just foolish.

So, although I also wonder I must assume that FR is a sophisticated site with sophisticated techniques for self-preservation. IMHO.

[steveab]

Ooooooo.........Has the tea party struck a nerve?
Kept it the pressure on the politicians.

[WakeUpAndVote]

If you are not taking flack, you are not over the target.

[Man50D]

There should be one or more back up sites. Redundancy is fundamental in Information Technology.

[Man50D]

We are striking a nerve with the socialists. They know we’re coming for them and they are afraid.

[Islander7]

An international effort to shut down the TaxDayTeaParty.com website has been detected...

International effort. Now why would anyone outside this country be involved in this attack?

Hmmm One wonders who the DEMOCRATS have partnered with.
