Lieberman Campaign Website Hacked?
Hotline ^ | 8/7/06

Posted on 08/07/2006 7:51:10 PM PDT by LdSentinal

At www.joe2006.com, the following message appears:

"This Account Is Under Construction"

According to Lieberman's campaign communications director, Marion Steinfels, "Yep, we've been hacked."

"There's a coordinated effort to overloaded our bandwith and that has brought down our website and our e-mail," she said. The attack began around mid-morning, she said.

Steinfels said the company that hosts the campaign website is investigating. It's the third time the site was broken into; it's the second time within a month.

Lieberman opponents might suggest that the Lieberman campaign forgot to pay its bill; Steinfels says that's totally untrue. Or that the campaign is responsible for adding content that crashed the site. But the campaign didn't add any significant new content.

There's no evidence at all that anyone associated with challenger Ned Lamont 's campaign had anything to do with the mischief.

One theory we'll throw out: the site has been hacked to make it appear as if the Lieberman campaign, running against the Netroots' candidate, forgot to pay its website bill. On the eve of the election. That's a theory.

If the Lieberman campaign did forget to pay its bills... well, it's a major ninth inning error.

Just a rife speculation...
hacked by Islamics?
It would be a two-fer: hit against a Senator that supports Israel,
as well as Dubya and the conduct of the WOT.

Just a thought.

"I just think it is going to a all out disaster for the Country when the Dems take back power. An event that is likely to happen at some point."

If they do it will be because "moderates" and pessimists tossed a monkey wrench into the machinery. Remember Ross and his merry band of moderate followers? Two terms of Slick Willy was the result.

I'm worried more about a civil war in this country than in Iraq.

Really? I'm kinda looking forward to it. We Republicans are the ones who believe in that whole RKBA thing, after all...

I'm sure this originated in the lefty online world. His opponent's campaign probably has no knowledge or part in this.

I wouldn't doubt for a moment that a Dem hacked Lieberman's website. Morals and principles go completely out the window whenever they want something badly.

In reality, they have none to throw out the window. The Clintons were the real pace-setters there.
