Oh my. Lieberman Campaign Says Web Site Hacked



If this is true, this is not only a new low on the part of the NutRoots™, but also what may be the final nail in their coffin. Who wants to be publicly associated with a "dirty tricks" squad? It was one of the things that cost Nixon his presidency.



Mind you, if they're called on it they're going to plead "tu quoque!", but even if that accusation is true, a charge I do not concede, 1) That is no excuse in the eyes of the law or the public, 2) There's a major contextual difference between covert and deniable and overt and blatant 3) Anyone doing political business with them will become the US equivalent of a Hindu Untouchable. If it makes the difference, and Lieberman loses any kind of a close race, look for it to save his political career (It's possible but out of character that Lieberman arranged it himself). Finally, Lamont may become forever known as the guy who threw a safe senate seat to the opposition.



Kos is attributing it to incompetence (on the part of Lieberman's campaign webmaster, of course!) but the comments waste no time going on a counter-attack. Or a follow up to the original attack, depending upon how you're interpreting it so far. I'm certain the investigation will reveal the facts and I'm prepared to wait.



DU is in full hue and cry



Another DU person.



I don't have the technical competence to know if this is believable or not. But the ad hominem is a little thick on that, don't you think?



Decision '08 notes that the hosting service is saying that Kos' facts are in error.



I'm just going to sit here and eat my popcorn and watch the Democrats self destruct, whether this accusation is true or not. Pity, though I'd really rather they didn't. It takes time to build a nationally competitive party, and I'd really rather the Republicans not have 2 to 4 years all their own way.



Looks like Decision '08 is also fact checking Jesse Jackson. Talk about the labors of Sisyphus.



Irish Trojan has some technical details (via Michelle Malkin)

Stuff like this is the main benefit to the public of Realtors associations: California SB 521 would impose a per page "fee" for document recordings They're painting it as a transfer tax to get the membership to understand what's in it for them, but loans are the thing it would really make it difficult for. Want to have to pay higher fees in order to record your loan documents? Vote for this bill! Otherwise, you probably want to oppose it.

Classical Values has a nice article on why you shouldn't trust Wikipedia on partisan matters.

Eek! Wizbang notes that 11 Egyptian students have gone missing from their supposedly planned classes at Montana State, and also links to a reminder that an Egyptian militant group had joined al Qaeda.

Over at Huff'n'Puff, Greg Gutfeld skewers the Donkeys. The comments illustrate how right he is.

Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
