People who logged on to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign Web-site and went looking for an online community of the like-minded ended up at Sen. Hllary Clinton's Web-site instead.

The work of a hacker. A flaw in the computer coding of Obama's site and a mischievous surfer who exploited it are blamed for the detour days before the Pennsylvania primary.

The hacker probably has a devilish sense of humor and just wanted to create mischief.
And from some of the posts I've read, he/she certainly has yanked or stimulated a lot of people's conspiracy chain.
Why can't it simply be a prank instead of some Machiavellian plot?
I decided, in the spirit of the game, to come up with my own Conspiracy Theory:
The people, who were misdirected to the Clinton Website, were exposed to subliminal messages. These emanating messages (mind control) caused them to make large contributions to Clinton's campaign. (The previous scenario is only appliable for a really bad B-movie.)

This shows how some of the Clinton supporters are like the Clintons with a lack of integrity. The Clintons have a long history of illegal activities and dishonesty. Hopefully honesty and integrity will win out in the end. I think it would be refreshing to see in our government.

Obama supporters will stoop at nothing to attack and blame HRC. You guys are pretty obsessive and may need some help. On a side note, Obama can't even protect his website and you want us to trust him with protecting us from terrorism.... LOL

So that is where all Hillary's sudden cash flow came from

So did the hacker redirect the donations to Clinton on Tuesday and Wednesday? The article says it is as easy as the page redirect. That would explain her Obama-like fundraising.

Wow, talk about desperate....

Interesting!! This explains the $10 Million in 24 hours that the Clinton Campaign has claimed.

I think the Obama Camp should call in the FBI on this one.

No matter how much Clinton's hackers try to derail Obama's campaign site, they will still fail. Remember his field office in PA was just burglarized , no wonder they try to hack his site. HRC is getting a lot of help from the right wing , how could they redirect his site to her site,they must have had access to her site .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it looks like an inside HRC camp job.

The Republicans are so scared of Obama, they have to join force with HRC to push him out,unfortunately for them most Americans are not bigots, no matter how many times they are reminded of Obama's skin color.

They try all sorts of things, if everything fail they would want her to be on his ticket. How could that be ,he is not experienced right. Obama would be a fool to even consider that. Let HRC run with Mccain aren't they best buddies?

Check the access and error log files of the web server. The FBI also has network sniffers at certain junctions of the Internet backbone that can be checked. Oops, did I let the cat out of the bag;)

The Clintons are foolish if they think they can out-tech us.

This kind of sabotage is a federal crime.

That should prove that all Clinton supporters aren't uneducated hicks. Some of us actually have Computer Science, Engineering, and Nursing Degrees that benefit society instead of Political Science, English, and History Degrees that make you think you are smarter than everyone else.

Don't forget the most relevant one to this post : Criminal Records.

George W. Bush has a BA in History and an MBA from Ivy League "Cracker Jack Box" Universities and look where that got us. That is the point I was trying to make. A college degree doesn't make you smart.

Yes, proves that you can be computer hackers, that really is an endearing and noteworthy social benefit. I think this is the wrong story to post that kind of thing on.

Good lord. I hope you get therapy coverage in your benefits package, so you can work on those anger issues.

What anger would that be ???
You must mean the one where Obama and his Followers keep telling everyone that Clinton supporters are uneducated , and of course that would imply he and his own are ELITISTS !!

Hey...wait a minute. I have a nursing degree AND a history degree. Oh...and I'm a Clinton supporter.

I hope they figure out who the hacker was and connect him to HC's camp. I am so sick of their nastiness, nothing they do would suprise me, including hacking Obama's site.

Wonder how much Hillary's new best friends in the rightwing conspiracy group had to do with this? Sounds so Rovarian!
