hahaha

I hate hackers. Anonymous did take down “Americans for Prosperity” for awhile last night.

[Mears]

Yep,Firefox it is and I just got it last week.

Oh well !

[Durus]

Does fighting against the enemies of the constitution allow you to abrogate the rights of individuals that should enjoy the protections of the constitution? That’s a slippery slope...hope you have some skis.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

think its’ funny to take down a website because you disagree with the politics?

think it’s funny if it happens here?

Nope.

[driftdiver]

You fight for their rights. I’ll fight for the rights of people who love America and aren’t working for its destruction.

[Durus]

I’ll fight for the rights of all Americans. You can fight for those you deem worthy.

[Texas Eagle]

Damn. And I’m taking my SATs today and I was hoping to use them as my shout-out.

[Lees Swrd]

Doesn’t look as if there was a problem yesterday but who knows could be a DDOS attack. I love the little app for firefox resurrect this web page!

this is just a shot of what it looked like yesterday.

[driftdiver]

yep, and thats why the communists are winning

[OL Hickory]

I say this with much admiration...Anonymous is the “Boondock
Saints” of the internet..taking down evil one step at a time.

[stormer]

Like I say to the wife, “I don’t even know why you’d want to disagree with me.” The guest bed is pretty comfortable, too.

[Thane_Banquo]

And you’ll still be saying that as they walk you to the ovens.

Of course not, but the difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals support wholesale violations of God-given individual rights--i.e. like walking people to the ovens--and conservatives do not.

[driftdiver]

No, the difference between conservatives and liberals is conservatives think liberals are just ignorant and will eventually see the light.

Liberals think conservatives are evil and they must be destroyed.

Liberals are winning the war of ideas because conservatives have been too worried about being rude.

[Durus]

They are winning because some people only adhere to the constitution when they feel like it.

[driftdiver]

Because they control the courts, and the legislature, the schools, and the media.

[ladjf]

Is the Democratic Underground still down?

Have you heard from anyone why it is down?

Thanks

[sr-rule]

For what its worth, I couldn’t get there either. (not that anyone should really want that sort of thing to happen anyhow)
I changed my DNS numbers to 4.2.2.1 and it popped up.

So apparently DNS servers aren’t updating properly for DU

[Mears]

I thought it was me.
