Hackers Take Aim at Republicans
An anonymous reader writes "Wired reports-- Online protests targeting GOP websites could turn out to be more than symbolic during this month's Republican National Convention, possibly blocking a critical communications tool for the party... "We want to bombard (the Republican sites) with so much traffic that nobody can get in," said CrimethInc, a member of the so-called Black Hat Hackers Bloc. It's one of several groups planning to distribute software tools to reload Republican sites over and over again."
Republicans = RICH
Rich = BIG POWERFUL SERVERS with LOTS OF BANDWIDTH!
Posting links to the GOP websites on /.
Genius.... Targetting Republican websites... someone want to tell these hackers that it's the Republicans that have been pushing mandatory sentencing guidelines in federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
You're right.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be over here with my eyepatch, petting my Persian cat and building my GOP approved super death beam to hold all of the world governments hostage to further the shadow government which really pulls all the strings.
Then I will tell John Kerry all my secret plans right before I chop him in half with a laser.
Mwhahahaaha
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
Ever since Al Gore created the internet, 31337 h4x0rs every where have hated the GOP.
Think GOP's going to subscribe to some Click for Cash program...
"linux" is a very common word and was not included in your search.
will take this opportunity to show that this is a dastardly plot by Dick Chaney and Haliburton to try and discredit the free-speech loving Democrats.
Yes, "some people say" as such. What's funny is using the words "fact" and "Fox (News)" in the same sentance without some type of negation.....
.. he did take the initiative in creating the Internet.
I suppose doing anything more sophisticated than a page reloading script is beyond them...
Just post it on Slashdot, same effect.
much of a loser do you need to be to get 0wn3d by the World Bank
Ask Argentina
Yeah, but then they'll just become pro-GOP hackers...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more

Of course it is more complicated. If we kill everyone, who'll buy the coffee and burgers?
Just to beat the rush...
In Soviet Russia, it gets YOU!
This would be the same guy. We watched his speech on the closed circuit, and quickly developed a drinking game based on whenever he said "we'll show those fuckers".
My favorite line before he got booted off the stage by Priest: "They can call me a terrorist, but I'll still blow up their buildings!" What an asshat.

Some white hat hacker - please take the above site down - it will provide Bush with proof to invade all these countries.
There is no better way than this to get the FBI and or CIA on your ass for cyber-crimes. I think these kiddies have put too much stock in the hacker manifesto, which btw was meant to be a joke!
it's real simple:
democrat traditional allies: hollywood, entertainment.
republican traditional allies: big business.
entertainers entertain. big businesses make money. i think that's the difference you're seeing.

You're new here, aren't you?
On that note, almost every country has WMD right now. I think that makes the WMD case for war a bit daft, but that's just a personal opinion.
... kettle ... black ... huh?
Exactly. And I bet that the US has more than anybody. So if Bush is hellbent on taking out countries with WMD's, he should start at home. Oh wait, he already has...

He doesn't need to. He does, however, have a one-point plan for better America.

I make a reasonable middle-class wage by going to work and not spamming blogs with scams.
If you DO want to personally criticise someone (and I think "You yourself are an idiot" easily qualifies for that)
Yes, it's a personal attack (I didn't make it, by the way), but it's easily one of the funniest things I've read in weeks.
where is the "I feel for ya, but that's some funny ass shit" moderation?
Sometimes, fire must be use to fight fire.
Republican is much more rich than the Democrat because they get funded by big enterprise. The fight is not equal at all... money CAN buy votes. So i approve this group of hackers. Every moves against the Bush administration is justified.

Arent' these Reloading apps similar to DOS apps?
I know that you really mean DoS apps. Seriously, you call them DOS apps and idiots will think you are talking about fscking MS-DOS.
I agree. If these guys were real hackers, they would rig the screens at the convention and the RNC web site to play video of Colin Powel and Rice saying that Iraq was "contained" in July of 2001 and then play video of Bush talking about WMDs with the word "LIARS" super-imposed. That would be hacking. DOS attacks are for script kiddies.
