Would guys like these be involved? ;^)

Here's one I liked from the linked article:

www.bushcoup.com
Registered to: David Lytel, Democrats.com, P.O. Box 20594 (New York, N.Y.)
Domain record created on: 11-01-2000 (six days BEFORE the election)
Phone contact: 123-456-7890
Purpose: Web site claiming Bush stole the election (formatted in an extremely similar manner to several other sites owned by Democrats.com).

Notes: obviously fraudulent phone contact info given with registration. Notice that Lytel registered the domain name on Nov. 1, six days before the election and long before anybody knew who was going to win. This suggests the Web site was created to as a preparation tool to attack Bush's legitimacy if and when he won the presidency a week later. Recall that Gore campaign strategists were prepared for the event that there would be a contested election before Election Day, and quickly mobilized
