This must be yet another example of Kerry's "uniting not dividing". This is almost communist thinking-"workers of the world unite" and such. An international class of "the workers",aginst the "bourgeoisie".No national pride,no patriotism,just class warfare.

Last night, I received ten names and addresses from the the Guardian by using numerous email addresses. I will be sending these people a copy of this article and telling them that this British newspaper gave me their personal information.

My message to the Guardian.

F'off. This is our country and our affair. I don't tell Britain who to vote for.

Yes, this really is beyond the pale. I believe the best way to respond to this sort of nonsense would be some letters to the editor of the newspapers covering Clark County from Clark County residents. Clark County is Springfield, OH. Is there anyone on this board from that area? It would be the Springfield paper, the Columbus Dispatch, and the Dayton paper, I would imagine. I would think this type of interference would irritate even the wishy-washy undecided voters against Kerry.

few 1,000 different valid email addresses to...

I don't think they need to be valid... Or use a valid address: if you use a common name, at a big ISP, someone will get the email, probably assume it is spam, and discard it...

That's what absolutely FLOORS me! I don't care if it's public record - it's another thing entirely to provide someone's personal information (and without their knowledge and consent!) to another party.

As a registered voter who doesn't live in Ohio, I nonetheless am angered by this trespass against privacy. This just confirms my decision in getting a PO box for snailmail.

Thank you for the idea, Free2BeMe. I've a few email accts that I haven't put to good use lately. Let's hope this little stunt backfires on them.

I saw this on FoxNews a while ago and immediately began composing my imaginary 'reply letter.' I cannot quote it here.

Dear Theophobic Euroweenies... (am I channeling you?)

You can always say that you are using the same reply that Cheney gave to Leahy. ;)

Is Kerry going to repudiate and officially demand his supporters to reject foreign interference into US election? I bet he won't.

"If you're feeling brave, though, you might want to explore the highly influential talk-radio airwaves. On the right, the overarchingly dominant figure is Rush Limbaugh, heard on hundreds of stations nationwide, including 19 in Ohio, some of which can be heard in Clark County. This is a strictly at-your-own-risk proposition, but if you want to join the debate, listen to the show live on the web at www.rushlimbaugh.com, between 5pm and 8pm UK time every weekday, and call in on 001 800 282 2882. Among yesterday's topics: why John Kerry doesn't understand the significance of 9/11; why John Kerry would be dangerous for America; how John Kerry politicised the death of Christopher Reeve. "

I think it would be fun if these foreign activists for Kerry would call Rush Limbaugh's show! LOL

Good start, but now you must weave a litany of obscentity, profanity and vulgarity so ornate, so textured and intricately profound, that even sailors blush and Goodfellas cover their ears.

Then you will approach the content I have in mind. ;O)

He can hardly do that,considering that his own sister attempted to influence the outcome of the Australian elections.I'd like to know just how he thinks that he can work with Prime Minister Howard,considering what his sister did to try to have him voted out of office.And don't think that Howard isn't aware of it either,he just got through praising President Bush with nary a mention of Kerry.

These liberals are all alike,they don't recognise the national integrity of a country's election process.But then again,they don't recognise national pride or patriotism either. Maybe in some cases,they have have a point.Hehe.

I just got several and I am mailing them to the people whose addresses the Guardian sent me, explaining what is going on. I might be overreacting, but I am so enraged at this brutal assault on our sovereignty. I also started an email thread to friends, family, and members of my local Young Republicans group instructing to go to the site to get addresses. I'm PISSED OFF!

You actually got some letters from people in the UK telling you to vote for Kerry?

You should post one of the, so people here can have some fun taking them apart.

And you should send a copy to the RNC, the Bush Campaign and Hannity, Rush, O'Reilly -- very seriously, it's important they they get copies of the actual letters, and the article which precipitated them, of course.

This outrageous attemp at trying to interfere with our elections needs to be publicized.

My letter to Ohio victims...

I am writing to inform you that your personal information is being given out by a British Newspaper, the Guardian Unlimited, to the British and European people so that they can try to influence you to vote for Kerry in the election. I have included a copy of the article with the web address at the bottom of the page so you can check it out for yourself. This “British Campaigning” is targeting Clark County, Ohio voters. Be aware that this newspaper is connected to George Soros. It is a member of Project Syndicate which was founded by George Soros.
