Radley Balko and numerous commenters are having a blast over at his blog (www.theagitator.com) as they heap additional ridicule on the Republican Liberty Caucus of Illinois.

As for the accusation that Balko is somehow guilty of the crime of "hacking", "obamaisandrogynous" must be incredibly ignorant about the Internet as well as the law. Apparently the RLCI had previously hot-linked to a picture on Balko's web site, so he simply changed that file name to a picture of an Obama dildo. Balko didn't do anything to the RLCI website, he did something to his own website, thereby educating them about the ramifications of hot-linking. Next time, if they don't want to look absurdly foolish, they'll host their own photos instead of siphoning bandwidth from somebody else (especially somebody they're attacking).
