Am I imagining things? (Vanity)

Please everyone let me know if It's just a wierd glitch on my computer. Please put this web address in your browser and see what you come up with http://www.rightwingnuts.com

It comes up as the Free Republic web site. I happened to be searching for a funny conservative website that I saw today while I was at work. I forgot the whole name of it and just was doing it thru my browser and not by the search engine. I knew it had the words right wing in it so I was playing around and this freaky thing happened. Is this an old name for Free Republic? This freaked me out!

Does anyone else look at Democrats like an ugly baby who everyone knows is never going to look any better as it grows up?

Rest assured that you're not imagining things. Here's the skinny on the domain:

Registrant:
DEMOCRATS.COM
PO BOX 20594
NEW YORK, NY US
10021
<snip>

Domain: RIGHTWINGNUTS.COM
Created on 04-14-2000
Expires on 04-14-2004

Administrative Contact:
Domain Administrator
Phone: 123-456-7890
E-mail: domains@democrats.com

Interesting enough, so let's see under what IP space the domain resides.

sasumata$ nslookup www.rightwingnuts.com
Server:         localhost
Address:        127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   www.rightwingnuts.com
Address: 64.62.166.78

Hm. We know that the IP address for the Free Republic site is 209.157.64.200, so let's see what their system is doing...

sasumata$ telnet www.rightwingnuts.com 80
Trying 64.62.166.78...
Connected to www.rightwingnuts.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0  
Host: www.rightwingnuts.com

<snip>
<frame name="NameSecure" src="http://www.freerepublic.com" 
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" noresize>

So it appears that the Leftists are logging IPs of the people who first visit their site and then funnel all requests through the HTML frames they've defined.

Kinda makes me wonder if LEFTWINGNUTS.COM is registered yet...

Boy they need to get a life!

And they can't figure out why they have all those money problems.

It could take us months to decide which loony RAT site is most deserving of the redirect! There are so many candidates!
