Trigger Warning: Graphic Images of Ronald Reagan Below
Via: Ars Technica, The Daily Beast, Raw Story and Right Wing Watch
This week, in an appalling example of Man's Inhumanity to Conservative Idiots, a band of Lefty Trolls capable of answering the question "What color is the ocean?" mounted a coordinated dDOSTCI attack against fledgeling reactionary conservative social media site ReaganBook.
Opening several or even many fraudulent user accounts, Troll posts spiked traffic, overloading servers and moderators at the center of the Conservative Blogosphere resulting in the worst national IT disaster since Project ORCA buckled under the strain of dozens of Romney campaign workers logging-on in a single day.
Using false credentials such as Yahoo email accounts, Trolls besieged ReaganBook creating new accounts under (apparently) fictitious names such as "Vladimir Putin", "Dick Cheney", "Sarah Palin", "Manuel Noriega", "Ben Ghazi", "Al Zheimers", "Ayn Randy", "Zombie Reagan" and even "Ronald Reagan", then creating groups such as "Cut Dicks for Christ" and posting pornographic images, for Heaven's sake.
Founded as a "Facebook for Patriots” by Ohio Republican Janet Porter, President of Faith2Action, “a pro-life, pro-family” organization that aims to “ADVANCE the cause of Christ and the kingdom of God”, ReaganBook quickly attracted 36 members who heard the clarion call:
Faith2Action President Janet Porter told attendees at the Ohio Liberty Coalition’s “Reload 4 Liberty” event that Facebook has been censoring people like anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera.
Porter lamented that “while tomorrow Facebook employees are gathering to go march at the gay pride parade in San Francisco,” they are censoring people with “unpopular opinions.”
She then described ReaganBook as a social network that tears down walls like President Reagan.
“We’re tearing down walls of tyranny and censorship,” she said.
In response to the attack, site moderators circled their wagons in the pioneering spirit of the Donner Party to fend off the savages, and mission accomplished, raised a victory flag:
Thank you to all those who participated in the pre-release of
ReaganBook.com Your participation is helping us build a more secure
site. Thank you! Please be patient while we make the necessary changes
to keep the site free from obscenity, pornography, and those intent on
the destruction of life, liberty, and the family. We will be opening
the doors again soon with additional protections in place. As Reagan
taught us, trust, but verify.
–Management”
Tear down the walls !
Ronnie would be proud.
