GoDaddy.Com CEO a Bush Wingnut Syncophant.
Time to stop using GoDaddy.com. The president is a pro-Bush, pro-Gitmo, wingnut
by John in DC - 6/20/2005 10:06:00 PM

This is actually very sad. I love GoDaddy.com. It's a service for registering and hosting Web site, and is incredibly cheap and easy to use. I've used it for years, and have tons of names registered with them. I will sincerely start looking for who else offers a cheap and well-run domain hosting service now.

Their president is, well, a right-wing nut. (This is Parson's original post, that's a bit harsher and attacks Senator Durbin a LOT more, he's subsequently edited it back). And worse yet, the company Web site links to his blog, and his blog has the company logo on the top of it. That is not somebody's "personal" blog when you use your company, a company I give money to, to help direct traffic to this man's uber-right-wing vitriol.

This really is sad. It was such a great company. Can anyone recommend cheap and good domain hosting services that are comparable? Register.com is one big expensive rip off, and 4 times the price. Anybody else do domain name registration for $9 a year? Spread the word, GoDaddy.com is run by a loud-mouthed pro-Bush clone who is using his company to promote a pro-Bush message and attack Democrats.

From the wingnut himself:

Sunday, June 19. 2005
Should we close Gitmo? No way. Instead, let's fix it. Remembering 9-11.

May we never forget the day!

I still remember the day like it was yesterday. Planes, filled with innocent people, brutally hijacked and exploded into buildings. Countless people (some holding hands) decided to jump hundreds of feet to their death, rather than being burned alive by the scorching flames. And when they landed, they unfortunately killed other people who were on the ground trying to help.

On that day 2,819 people died. The vast majority of them were Americans, but the death toll included citizens from 115 other nations.

America did not deserve 9-11.
There are those that have since said we “deserved” this attack. They’ve said we “had it coming”. I could not disagree more. To me, saying that we “had it coming” is the same as saying that someone deserved to be raped – i.e., that they were “asking for it”. No individual, of course, ever deserved to be raped, and our country did not deserve to be attacked on 9-11.

Since 9-11, we have been fortunate in that there’s not been another terrorist attack on United States soil. I think there are a number of reasons for this. They are:

1. We’ve taken the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq and other places.
2. The terrorists, as a result of our country’s outrage and overwhelming military response to the 9/11 attacks, are disorganized and off balance.
3. Our military and intelligence services are now proactive in hunting down terrorist cells wherever they are and are destroying them.

To me United States' soil is sacred.
I believe that there is nothing more sacred than United States soil and that it deserves to be protected at all costs. If there is another country or a group who would do us harm, then we must be both smart and tough enough to first destroy them.

2. Don't have to worry about me, I don't even know what that is.
But if I hear any of my friends using it, I will let them know.

5. Might I recommend..
.... powerpipe.com. $7.99 Domains, good administrative interface, I've had several domains with them with no problems whatsoever.

I have no affiliation with them, just a happy customer.

7. Maybe Bob would like to become a POW and get tortured
Thanks for the link... If I ever need a domain name I'll definitely look elsewhere. I hate to have to filter my purchases because of politics, but at this point I've had it with the extreme right-wingers that are propping up this idiot administration with loads of money. He's free to express his opinion and I'm free to do business elsewhere.
