Norm Coleman May Have Faked Website Crash

Today, Team Coleman's blogger at MDE, Ryan Flynn, posted a tidbit today:

"THOUSANDS OF HITS CRASH COLEMAN WEBSITE"

ST PAUL - Information recently added to the Coleman for Senate website, whereby people can find out which Minnesota voters the Franken campaign is trying to disenfranchise, has resulted in the website being inundated by tens of thousands of hits today - temporarily crashing the website.

They're completely lying. Here's why.

Norm Coleman seems to fake allot of things including being a statesman.

This is all sort of vague. I take it that this website was coleman's chance to put up or shut up, and since he really had nothing to start with.. crashing the website was the smoke screen to cover all that?

[bygollymissmolly]

No. He put out a plea for "good Americans" to go to his website and donate to his attempt to turn the election. Then he said that the response was so huge, it crashed his website. It was all just another Coleman lying bid for sympathy. BTW, since I think that Al Franken won, does that make me a "bad American"?

[MNmommy]

No - it wasn't about soliciting for contributions. He posted up all of the voters with rejected absentee ballots.

This nay end soon enough for him to maybe jump on the Palin ticket . . . seems the Republican Party is flowndering under Rush Limbough's leadership and maybe a Moose-Teeth Ticket Wesite would do the trick . . .

I think THAT site would get "thousands of hits" just to order the bumper sticker . . . with an added glo in the dark reflector white teeth and eye-glint . . . you betcha . . .

I know a right wing nut that raves the election was stolen. I tell him that is couldn't have happened to a nicer fella....drives him crazy.

The article should have been titled, "Repeated bong hits crash Coleman campaign."

[Wide Stance]

There isn't a stunt made that is too shameless for Norm Coleman. With Bush out of office it is nice to have someone of his character come along to act as a foil.

Again they "AstroTurf" a fake grass roots campaign. I can't say anything about this surprises me. It's time that they are held accountable. Someone should go to jail.

And they wonder why crazy chick scratched that big obvious backwards "B" in her cheek. Norm? Illegitimate daughter?

We are seeing yet another example of a repuglican who, losing an election, feels comfortable lying, & cheating to win.

When will America see this "Soprano Family", for the party repugs have morphed. Since Nixon, the GOP has become the party of lies, reputation assassination, war profiteering, hypocrisy, influence peddling, treason, and unending corruption.

Once the party of Lincoln, now a party of rich white criminals, who believe ends justify whatever means chosen. Nixon burglarized opponents, ford pardoned nixon. Reagan traded arms for hostages, for cash, and "freedom fighters" in Central America (these freedom fighters murdered a bus load of nuns, and disappeared more than 250K), bush 41 lied the world into the gulf war for Kuwait's riches, his son led America into Iraq for war profits, oil and pure political power on lies, and misinformation.

Repuglicans have no compunction in lying, stealing, killing and/or, destroying America in order to make themselves richer, more powerful or to aid those to whom they are indebted politically, and/or monetarily.

We are seeing in coleman one more example of the repuglican's perversion of America. We cannot allow this to continue, not if we wish to remain a nation of freedoms. We MUST prosecute coleman, and every other politician, who subverts American laws advance themselves.

If we don't, this nation is doomed.

Technology and science are anti-Christ for neocons. I am not surprised at all by their lame attempt to manipulate the TTL and A record.

[offred]

Are we surprised at the depths to which the Republicans will go to phony up the election controversy?Anything to keep Al Franken from voting as a Democratic senator.

Bucky at it again? figures.

[tailgateshirts]

I mean sh*t they coulda at least faked a DDOS attack and say some mean liberal at a college did it!

[bygollymissmolly]

That would not have met their goal. Their goal was to make us think that there was such a huge outpouring of support for old Norm that it crashed their website.

[tailgateshirts]

When will republicans learn how the intertoobs work?

[YouDisgustMe]

Never. intertoobs is for sissies.

[ParaplegicNomad]

Oh my. I hadn't heard about this, but that's hilarious. As an IT professional, it looks to me like a guy standing in front of a mirror yelling, "someone stole my car!" while you watch his wife park it in the driveway through the reflection.
