Kill the messenger, GOP-style

[clevergirl]

When we get frustrated at the results of the day's electoral-vote.com, we complain about methodology. How does the GOP handle this?

From today's www.electoral-vote.com:

The site has had technical problems repeatedly in the past several days and has been down several times. I didn't want to discuss this, but I don't want anyone to think the problem was an incompetent hosting service. Just the opposite. The site has been subjected to a full-scale, well-organized, massive attack with the clear intention to bring it down. The attackers have tried repeatedly to break in, but the server is a rock-solid Linux system which has stood up to everything they threw at it and hasn't crashed since I got it in May. While our troops are fighting and dying to bring freedom of speech to the Iraqi people, there are forces in America who find this concept no longer applicable to America. I don't know who is behind this attack yet (although we are working it), but it is too professional to be some teenager working from a home PC. Given that all the hate mail and threats I get come entirely from Republicans, I can make an educated guess which side is trying to silence me, but I won't say. And I won't surrender to cyberterrorists.

2. Whoa...stuff like this scares me.

Do we, as Democrats, intimidate, bully and attack those who disagree with us? No. This is pure brownshirt behavior and it's sick.

Somebody should call the Attorney General, he'll get right on ... oh, yeah, nevermind.

5. I'm trying to donate

but the paypal link is not working. Of course, now I am suspicious about why it is not working. But I am also one determined chick, and I will get there eventually.

6. Damn

apparently I am not as determined as I believed. I finally got in, and logged on to my pay pall account. As I went to check out, it asked me to re-enter my credit card info. I have never been asked to do that before, and given all the PayPal email scams I have been getting lately, I am just not willing to enter my CC info. There has to be another way to donate.
