Bush/Cheney, let al Qaeda into Iraq, and then claimed al Qaeda, the group Saddam kept out, will take over Iraq if America withdraws. Bush/Cheney raised al Qaeda in Iraq Saddam kept them out! Who's appeased now?

just fast-scrolled through the despicable site and its attached blog looking for a name. Zip. Nada. Niente. The "see my profile" link under About Me is blank. "webmaster" is about as much as one gets.
can any of our techies search out info on this? I remember (showing my age) how quickly they tracked down info on "Talon News Service" the web page masquerading as a news service that Jeff Gannon set up under the aegis of GOPusa.
It would be so great to trace this m*th**f**king bit of scurrilous scum back to its source.
Not trying to pass off a task I am unwilling to take on---noooo--- just speaking as one of the many geekily-impaired flowers in the garden.

either shadowed another site or is a trash man during the day with his being able to populate this site with all of that garbage and all so fast.

Dominionist hell: it's not just for Sunday anymore

Pisseth not off the geek, for the geek shalt work very hard to hunt thee down. :D
Anyways, there is a link on the site to obamatruth.com (which is registered via a different whois anonymising service); this appears to be a dead website (it redirects to a page for parked domain names); the page appears to have been hosted at enom.net before it went down.
We DO hit successful paydirt on a third site associated, exposeobama.com. The website lists as a contact:
ExposeObama.com c/o National Campaign Fund - 1101 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Ste. 600 - Washington, DC 20004 - 202 465-7192 bruce@exposeobama.com
It would appear that this address and phone number have been previously associated with attempts to actively swiftboat Obama and is associated with a Republican PAC; the address also happens to be associated with Jack Abramoff, and also to a number of other pet causes (including pushing for the REAL ID Act and coal industry lobbyists). The phone number itself would appear to be a wireless number (and if someone is arsed to pay the $5.00 to get the records, please post and share it with all of us :D). A look at the staff of the org is especially enlightening in this regard; one of the heads has pretty much exclusively lobbied for dominionist candidates including, most recently, Mike Huckabee. (This becomes important very shortly.)
Whois info for exposeobama.com points to:
Floyd Brown 4224 67th AVE CT W UNiversity Place, WA 98466 US Email: Floydgbrown@gmail.com
Hosting is via netace.com.
There is furthermore an associated Blogspot page which seems to entirely feature dominionist (and yes, these are explicitly skewed towards dominionist claims re Obama being apparently a threat to all Christendom) swiftboating of Obama; it would not be shocking if the page were being done by one of the owners of exposeobama.com (although with no external linkage, this becomes more difficult to prove in practice).
My hunch? Astroturfing by the RNC. Just my two pence, though.

Good work! Should this be diaried so as to expose these frauds even more?

....The address was e-mailed to me from one of my "Conservative" "friends". I was one of about thirty people he sent it to.
If half of them send it to thirty more people, well, you see where this election cycle's going.

As it is, the whole "chain letter marketing" has been a big part of GOP strategy, especially as far as astroturfing, for...oh, hell, since Carter lost his re-election bid in 1980, at least. :P

before.
I wouldn't even give such a site the benefit of sending traffic there by linking to it. It's pretty trashy in there.
I think I need a bath now.

And, by the way, they have these kind of trashy sites on just about every political official. Search on the Clintons or the McCains and you will find smut there too.
Makes me long for the issues...

because 70% of us want out of Iraq. And, thanks to Jeremy Gray of IU, who notes that Bush has forgotten -
-he is negotiating with North Korea. A member of the "Axis of Evil". -he negotiated with Qadaffi. A former sponsor or terrorism. -Republicans were the American Nazi sympathizers in the late 1930's. -Bush's father got Syria to help the U.S. in the first Gulf war. -Reagan negotiated with the "Evil Empire". -Nixon negotiated with Chairman Mao, who killed 20 million of his own people, and aided North Korea in the Korean War. -The Iranians helped the U.S. in the early days of our conflict with Afghanistan. -FDR collaborated with Stalin to win WWII. -Iran is stronger than ever due to the policies of the Bush administration.
Iran's GDP is smaller than Vermont's. Iran spends less than 1% of what the U.S. does on defense. Iran's 2nd largest export is junk parts. They haven't invaded another country since the 17th century. Iran is not Nazi Germany and could never win a war against Israel and the United States.

I do believe that both Prescott Bush and George Walker were guilty of this.

I looked up who said that quote Pres McBush is using and it’s Sen. William Borah, Republicant from Idaho. Wasn’t the Republican party on the wrong side of WWll?
Do the Republicans want to remind America they are usually wrong?

If that's the fight the GOP really wants to have, Bush v. Obama with McCain as a sideshow, I'll glady take my chances with the electorate...

President Bush just placed Impeachment back on the table. Stop screwing around and do your constitutional duty NOW!!!

galvanize the right at a time when we can capitalize on the fracture. That has been the concern since the Clinton impeachment backfired on the GOP-led Congress.
We're getting to a filibuster-proof Congress that can subsequently prosecute them as criminals. I want the WH and am willing to wait if it will better our chances. I know this isn't a popular opinion in our world, but I firmly believe that you can win some battles but still lose the war if you aren't careful!

... to bring a vote onto the House floor anyway. The process needs to begin in the House Judiciary Committee now if one is to even consider the matter in the full House after the elections.
