Lead Lawyer Challenging Obamacare Under Cyber Attack
Heritage Foundation ^ | 2/19/11 | Cully Stimson

Posted on 02/19/2011 7:27:01 AM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

While politicians are still talking about restoring civility, liberal thugs are waging an all out attack on the website of DAVID RIVKIN, lead counsel in the multi-state lawsuit against Obamacare, rather than engage in a civilized debate that they can’t win.

And what do the ACLU and other left-leaning civil rights groups have to say about these attempts to silence a leading voice for freedom and liberty? Not a thing.

Rivkin represents 26 States, the National Federation of Independent Business, and two individuals in the most prominent and successful challenge to Obamacare. He’s been a prominent critic of the law’s individual mandate from the beginning, and is used to engaging in intellectual battle—it comes with the territory. But this is something far different.

One week after federal district judge Roger Vinson held that the mandate was unconstitutional and struck down the entire law, Rivkin’s website came under attack by a highly organized group of cyber-terrorists seeking to silence him and knock his views off the Internet.

Unknown hacktivists from IP addresses located overseas took aim at Rivkin’s website, bombarding it with fake traffic and intrusion attempts. They managed to destroy entire sections of the site dedicated to his advocacy on behalf of the states in the health care law suit.

Awesome cartoon.

Just a bunch of open-minded folks engaging in a little advocacy, that’s all. Nothing to see here. Move along.

How much more proof do we need that leftists aren’t the least bit interested in free speech.

It’s either them or us, folks. That’s what it’s boiling down to.

Yes that is right.

Why don’t Repubs and others such as Mr Rivlin hire security experts to track down the hackers and sue the crap out of them.

“It’s either them or us, folks. That’s what it’s boiling down to.”

That is correct.

The left is NOT about Freedom of Speech.
The left is NOT about this country doing well.

The left is ALL about ruling from on high,
destroying property rights,
destroying young minds,
destroying freedom,

ALL so that THEY can rule.

Wake up, America, What are you going to do???
Fight, or go to sleep????

You are so right. If it would be up to them, there would be NO FREE SPEECH.
