Muchas gracias Senators McCain and Clinton!

Fri Feb 01, 2008 at 04:37:01 AM PDT

Just using my daily diary (which I don't write daily) to record some ongoing dirty, as well as blatantly racist, campaign tactics. I just received a message from a web site called warrantysupplies.com entitled 'Muchas gracias Senators Mccain and Clinton!' with an unflattering photo of some anonymous brown skinned folk. Full information (the message, the photo, the WHOIS information on the domain) below the fold. Comment freely and document similar atrocities.

The image is labeled "beaners.jpg" by the original suppliers, not me. Here's what the message looks like:

'Muchas gracias Senators McCain and Clinton!'

Sen. McCain Teamed Up With Sen. Ted Kennedy To Push Legislation Widely Derided As Amnesty:
Union Leader Editorial: McCain-Kennedy Proposal "Would Encourage Border Jumping." "Sens. John McCain and Ted Kennedy have a bill that, surprise, includes a generous guest worker program that would encourage border jumping. Illegals who register would have to pay a fine and taxes, but they would get to stay here and apply for permanent residency. That sure beats waiting at the border and hoping to be let in." (Editorial, "Turnstile Security," The [Manchester, NH] Union Leader, 3/27/06)

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich Said McCain-Kennedy "Actually Provides For Amnesty." NEWT GINGRICH: "However, the bill you mentioned – the Kennedy McCain bill – actually provides for amnesty. And it provides for amnesty for millions of people whose first act in the U.S. was to break the law. I think amnesty is profoundly wrong. I think it sends exactly the wrong signal." (Fox News' "The Big Story," 3/20/06)

Anybody else receiving this? Any ideas on how to get behind the WhoisGuard wall to find out who is behind this?

My bet is that Karl Rove has figured out how to pick up innocent expiring domains (e.g., warrantysupplies.com) in order to mask his dirty tricks.

Final guess is that this is an anti-McCain slur more than an anti-Hillary slur (and, hey, two slurs for the price of one can't be beat).
