Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America
acey72 writes "The BBC News are
reporting that George W Bush's re-election website (don't bother if you aren't in the USA) is blocked to people accessing it from outside the USA. Netcraft spotted the change on Monday, and have a report on the matter. Oh well, at least John Kerry's site still works for us outlanders." At least some Canadians can access the Bush campaign site, but Europeans cannot (without going through a U.S. proxy).
Likely because anybody wanting to access the website from outside the US simply does not matter to Bush. Look, this is a guy who if you do not share his opinion or can help him out in any way, you become a non entity. Classic example is the Philadelphia Enquirer reporter who was talking to Bush telling him that he did not exactly agree with his position. The response from Bush? "Who cares what you think." Classic.
Look, from the perspective of Bush, anybody accessing his website from another country (and he has alienated so many in other countries) can 1) not have any impact on his re-election and 2) Likely will not be a fan of the man because you are in a demographic who likely does not support him.

Boy, I'm sure glad of that! My nipples were all soft at the thought of losing that glorious access.
SQUICK!
Oops. Sprained my sarcasm gland.
Outlander? Where are you? Barter Town? Did you guys get the pig shit generator running again?
Anyway, friends, geek, countrymen, it's a choice between Tweedledee and Tweedledum yet again. Just accept it and stop pretending the election matters. It's depressing enough without otherwise smart people gobbling up the manure and pinning their hopes and dreams on ideologues in expensive suits surrounded by teams of droids. It's all just money, be it Halliburton or George Soros. None of these people give a hanging chad about any of you. Most of them pine for the days when it was acceptable to spit on us, run us down with their horse drawn carriages or hunt us down for sport.
That's why I'm voting Kerry. I have a job/career that's Administration proof, and I will enjoy the whining and excuses when, under Kerry, things are precisely as fucked up as they are now, if not more so. And it is time for a change, and if an orange version of Herman Munster in the White House isn't change, well, then I don't know what is.
Although a Bush win would be fun because it would send a huge number of self-righteous, egotistical ideo-whores into apoplectic fits. I'm hoping strokes will permanently debilitate the less healthy ones. From bloviating autoimportant politicosluts to glassy eyed droolers who require regular diaper changes. Now that's some mighty hubris! Chris Reeve's horse was a divine warrior guided by the smiting hand of Baby Jesus sent to punish him for Superman IV! Yee-haw!
And a Bush win might spark riots. Cool! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!
See? Fun times ahead regardless of the result! :-)

Who cards! It's a US election, you whiny french assholes!
That's insightful, huh? Well, how about pre-emptive protection against DDOS in the final week of campaigning?
Do you think you have some RIGHT to the content on that site?
Stupid sexy Flanders.
What is this, the bumper sticker quoting spot?
Oh well, shameless plug then:
Hate Freedom? Vote Bush!
Fight Terrorism - Oust Bush!
You wouldn't happen to HATE AMERICA, "moronikos", would you? Why do you hate America?

Funny, I don't remember seeing American troops flying crosses as they ran into battle. Would kind of make it awkward to be one of those Jewish or Muslim chaplains too, wouldn't it?
One: Marx, Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin and Stalin is years ago, not 2004. :Marx, Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin and Stalin is not representative of Europe.
Two
Three: Horrors of Marx?. Read his fucking works first. Read the history first.
never mind, lets use your logic.
Given that the USA idea of democracy is a nasty concept of "enforcing democracy*", this is a sensible move to assinate Bush. Coming from the same country that gave the world the horrors of hypocrisy on slavery, hypocrisy on womens rights, hypocrisy on racial equality, the ONLY country to use an atomic bomb bla bla bla..
Unable to deal with adversity? Quite funny coming from a country populated with the most obese people in the world, astounding lack of literacy, the dumbest person in the world leading them,bla bla bla.
You really think the US population is able to deal with adversity?. Sure, if adversity is a 3 pound hot dog.
I'd won't be worried to bet France and German will continue to be a superpower even when USA is not.
I won't comment on the rest of ur comments. I don't know much about them. I'd wager, they are as stupid as your other comments though.

Oooh CENSORSHIP....oooh... Bush hates the world!
/.er's and John Kerry like to point out how much everyone around the world hates GWB, then how unreasonable is it for the Bush campaign to block their ability to even access his site?
Or, it could be just to pre-empt the general asshattery and shenanigans that we've all come to expect from the unwashed good-for-nothing leftists across the world.
Let's look: how did the "I don't have a job so I'm going to throw bricks instead" demographic behave at the last few WTO conferences?
Since
People who support GWB will understand, and people who oppose him are unwelcome there anyway. For the 0.0001% of true 'undecideds' out there, I hope they're bright enough to get their political information from some other sources than the candidates' websites.
In any case, I still have my login to the vastrightwingconsipracy.org, so I can still get my marching orders and think in lockstep with all the other Right Wing nutjobs, can't I?

A vote for Kerry is a vote for another 9/11. Everyone including the terrorists knows that he will bend over any time pressure is applied. Even the Russian president agrees that the world is safer with GWB as president.
You want to strengthen Al Qaeda vote for Kerry, I'm sure he's already setup a UN trust fund for them to get back on their feet.
And the Muslims screwed up so God send George W. Bush.
