This is undoubtedly a hoax. A google search turns up no "Artaud Productions," and the only result about "Charnal House" as a rock band shows up on this bogus site.

This kind of nonsense is not beneficial to the Bush campaign, since it is readily shown to be a hoax. I hope that FR doesn't spread these false stories that hurt only the GOP.

Agreed. found a 'Satanists for Dean' web site -can't get at the original, but it's cached at:

and these guys seem to be responsible for the put-on.

This may be a Hoax, but there is a band called Charnal House and you can find discussions about them in "Groups" when you do a Google search there.

There is NO indications, anywhere, that Dean would welcome this kind of support...which I doubt he would. ANYONE can say they are doing something in support of ANYONE's political campaign, that doesn't mean much until that campaign acknowledges it and says welcome.

So as far as a Hoax goes, it may be actually true, but the inference drawn -- that this means anything to/about Dean -- is Bogus and (in effect) a hoax.
