This is another story that illustrates the increasing political intolerance of those on the right who can't cope with being repudiated by the voting public.
Care2.com is a website featuring petitions for various causes. I try to receive their alerts, but these e-mails keep getting lost somehow.
Yesterday, however, I did receive a Care2 alert warning that the site was the target of a denial-of-service attack. This e-mail says:
"Someone is attacking our site – and several other activism sites – presumably because they disagree with the positions of some of the actions on our site.
"In effect, they are trying to silence the voices of Care2 activists who are working for positive change in the world."
That the other side would send out a denial-of-service assault against a website over its views is not big news. It's happened before, but everyone seems to ignore it. I got hit by the Swen virus once right after the Iraq War started, because I had the "wrong" views.
I wonder who is bankrolling these attacks. It takes some knowhow to launch attacks like this, so it's clear that someone in a high place is directing them.
