Has anyone else been getting leftist spam lately?

[Moral Hazard]

What I find amazing is all the spam I get for loans from Christian organizations. Is Spam considered a sin or something?

[ChadsDad]

Does anyone know where I could get some cialis?

Does anyone know where I could get some cialis?

LMAO! I can forward an email (or 10,000) to you in regards to it.

[LIConFem]

I get Cialis and Viagra spam all the time, along with the usual, enlargement ads and "cash advance" nonsense.

It'd be funny, if it wasn't so frikkin' annyoing.

The left has been spamming email boxes, forums, and bathroom walls with their propaganda for awhile now.

They seek to dominate the discussion. They long ago lost their grip on reality and now they are realizing they lost their grip on the media.

The Silent Majority stand ready to smack them down at the polls again.

A typical email has a link to an anti-war article in a newspaper, here's one such article link:

Mother begs for end to killing

The spam has been a series of such junk, thing is, this is a co-ordinated campaign, it started about the same time of the Sheehan nonsense started playing in the media.

Yeah. See Alice...

[weegee]

Does that stuff actually work?

I mean all of the SPAM. Do they actually get a favorable sale generated from such a hassling sales pitch?

Do they promise to remove your name from "the list" if you buy it?

I saw the "Bush's draft" nonsense on an apolitical forum of friends. I gave them the links to the actual bills in Congress and the Senate and pointed out they were all authored by leftist Democrats.

When I say "them" I mean, sometimes the full distribution list is visible and THAT is who you challenge these lies.

Arguing with the spammer is useless. The party of the jackass is stuborn and clueless by choice.

[Prime Choice]

I've been getting a lot more hate-mail of late as well.

Most of it is the usual, boring "hate Bush, hate America, kiss my treasonous commie butt" stuff. Some of it is really nasty, though. A couple of the latest ones indicated that the senders were going to dance and urinate on my grave if my cancer kills me.

Then I really ticked 'em off...I told 'em I felt sorry because they lived with such miserable anger...and that I would pray for them.

Wow...that really set 'em off.

The whole Sheehan thing is just a part of a full court press by the lib's to turn Iraq into Vietnam. Hell, they're probably planning a "Tet offensive" with the terrorists to try to get us to leave. If you looked at the signature on the check paying for it all, you'd probably see "G. Soros".

[Blood of Tyrants]

Just report it as spam and it will automatically go to the spam file. If your web based email account doesn't have that function, let me know, I will send you and invitation for a gmail account where they do a pretty good job of filtering out the spam. I only get about one a week to leak through their filter.

[b4its2late]

You're good. How'd you find that so quick? Big Book?

[Ingtar]

Google -- and I had the whois done first... I was going to paste it all at once, but saw the whois posted already.

I wonder if the company realizes they are tied to spam this way?

[b4its2late]

Probably not......

I mean all of the SPAM. Do they actually get a favorable sale generated from such a hassling sales pitch?

I saw a report in Wired a couple of years ago -- they set up a web-based email accoutn and actually responded to all of their spam. Their generalized findings:

• Most never replied to the response -- conclusion: these were not "legit" products, but rather attempts to validate emial addresses as "live" (primarily to sell to other spammers!)
• Very few products and/or services were on the up-and-up -- either the companies were fly-by-night or they were dealing in illegal goods (or at the very least, were engaging in decptive marketing/bait-and-switch)
• A small number of (legit) companies expressed surprise that spam was being used to advertise their products/services
• The most "honest" spam, as in, delivering exactly what they promise in the email, is (in general) for porn sites

Interviews with spammers do indicate that the response rate is high enough that they make profits.
