Suddenly appearing among the Google search results for “sarah palin gay,” a web site titled: Sarah Palin Supports Gay Rights.
Sarah Palin (GOV-Alaska-Republican), supports gay rights, says Anchorage Daily News.
Quote "Gov. Sarah Palin vetoed a bill Thursday that sought to block the state from giving public employee benefits such as health insurance to same-sex couples." Quote ""It is the Governor’s intention to work with the legislature and to give the people of Alaska an opportunity to express their wishes and intentions whether these benefits should continue," the statement from Palin’s administration said."
Coghill said he’s interested in a new plan that would allow state employees to designate one person — maybe a same-sex partner, but also possibly a family member or roommate — who would be eligible for state-paid benefits. But the employee would have to pay to add that person to his or her benefits."
Sarah Palin’s veto gave gays the same rights as married couples in Alaska.
A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for gay marriage.
Interesting. There’s nothing else on the page. This sure looks like the work of the dastardly right-wing anti-gay attack machine, doesn’t it?
But look who’s really behind this.
In the Linux console, if you enter the following commands, you can learn the secrets of a political dirty trick. First, look up the host of ‘sarahpalingayrights.com’ to get the site’s IP address.
host sarahpalingayrights.com sarahpalingayrights.com has address 74.208.74.232
Then use the same command to look up the domain name pointer of that IP address.
host 74.208.74.232 232.74.208.74.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer obamadefense.com
Well, well. “Obamadefense.com,” eh?
And what happens if you enter obamadefense.com on your browser’s address line?
Why, you’re redirected to none other than FightTheSmears.com, the official Barack Obama site that’s supposed to be defending him against smears.
Looks like they may have a second purpose: to generate a few smears of their own.
(Hat tip: sk.)

Here's another site that traces back to obamadefense.com: ObamaTaxCut.com.

Two more web sites that share the IP address of obamadefense.com:
John McCain opposes the new GI Bill, but why? John McCain Prefers War
Sorry, PC ain’t my cup of tea. The term was used against a real retard, not a person with down’s syndrome. Nothing I can do if that offends people.
You’re no doubt oblivious to the contect to which “retard” is used.
Those with Down’s can’t help what they are. Liberals supposedly can. If you’ll stop whining and start thinking about it, those with Down’s are actually elevated above unthinking people.
And for the record, I lost a son, and a sister, to car wrecks. If they’d lived, they certainly wouldn’t be today what they were. I prefer free speech, instead of wetting the bed everytime I see or hear the word “vegetable”.
Well....of course it doesn't.

I prefer to think about others’ feelings. But that’s just the way I was raised.
Sorry, it’s one of my favorite words to use towards the opposition. Can’t buy into the PC claptrap. Never have, never will.

They’re also behind the Trig isn’t Sarah’s, its he 16 year olds baby crap too.
I agree, but it appears we are in the minority here.
I'm only saying that Palin's Downs Syndrome child will be a major focus of her qualifications, as it will be used in the Pro-Life/Pro-Choice debate, and it's already being used against her as a working mother.
You might want to find other words of disdain this time around, so you don't get called a hypocrite if you partake in any of these discussions and then have your use of "retard" as a pejorative thrown back at you.

book mark
My guess is that someone with almost no money has put up the site using 1and1 (dirt cheap hosting) but was more familiar with GoDaddy.com’s admin tools for handling the DNS.
I'd say this smear attempt is not directly from the Obama camp. Sorry, Charles.
Agreed. The WHOIS data are the same with the ObamaDefense and SarahPalinGayRights sites, and they differ greatly from the FightTheSmears site.
Let them dig their own graves.
Brilliant, nice nice catch mojito!
And you expected better from liberals? How naive!
This is Chicago Mayor Daily politics. This is what Obama was raised on. This is how it looks, folks.
HOLY SMOKES BUMP!!!!
Obama attack woman.
NICE WORK!!!
