>>>It’s likely that the malware was not added with her knowledge or consent, or that of her web master.

However, the Webmaster should be intelligent enough to cleanse the site of this crap NOW, and prevent it from happening in the future. If they (the webmaster) don’t - then they’re as worthless as an 0bama Hawaii birth certificate.

Well I don’t have to worry about it as I’m not a birther and I’m not going to the site. However what’s bad for FR is bad for me so I do hope they fix the problem.

I looked her site over, and also did a DNS lookup to see who was hosting it. Based on what I saw, the site is hosted by her registrar (NetworkSolutions), and I strongly suspect it was created using one of standard web page templates that Network Solutions offers free with registration.

Short version: I don't think there's a "webmaster" involved here. It looks like a DIY page, mostly likely do to her trying to save money for the fight. Perhaps any one of our freepers with good html skills could offer their services.

A lot of these happen on shared host servers. The webmaster dutifully cleans them up, but they and the other thousand or two sites on that server are promptly reinfected. The domain host generally stonewalls and denies any problem.
