Right Wing Internet Terrorists To Blame for ACA Website Failure
« on: November 20, 2013, 08:32:04 AM »
http://www.examiner.com/article/right-wing-cyber-attacks-on-healthcare-gov-website-confirmed

I was waiting for this spin.  I thought it would be at the ready, but they've now come out with it. 

I do believe I could teach a class with everything wrong with the attached article.  Smear, paint, and insinuate.  I have a strong belief this position will take enough traction to make my Thanksgiving dinner with the wife's liberal family that much more painful.  Us EVIL conservatives, by virtue of evil, hath ruined the health care utopia that could have been... cause we are evil.   :facepalm:

At least I've got plenty of racist jokes to look forward to hearing.  Being a loyal democrat gives racism immunity, so it doesn't count.   :police:

So the Republicans don't mention it because they have an agenda, but DHS doesn't mention it for the obvious reason that they do not wish to advertise the attack tool. :facepalm:

SO what's the date for the "new and improved and it will work for 80% of people that try to use it" re-re-release date? I keep hearing December 1st.

So, how about a grass roots movement to get everybody in the world to try logging in on Dec. 1.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I have a feeling many of the so-called "denial of service" attacks, were just 10 people trying to log on at one time.

Are you a "cyber terrorist"?  :P

Ned,

Just ask the relatives if the Right-wingers also cancelled all those insurance plans.

Aside from that, the "right wing" should gladly take credit for frustrating the health control scheme.

I've long ago given up on debating them. In as serious a whisper, and with as grave a demeanor that I can muster, at family functions, I lean into them and say: "I'm doing what I can to keep you off the list, but I'm afraid it's just going to mean you're towards the end.". I look really sad and walk away.
I promise not to duck.

Good to see the Democrats embracing the power of prayer. Between the retrospectives that blame the actions of a Communist graphic arts guy on the hate thought of conservatives in Dallas, and all the "Republicans willed out website to fail" coverage of Obamacare it really is mind over matter up in this bitch.

It's Bush's fault for not starting Obamacare during his first term.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

It's hard to say for sure, but the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) might be the third sheet from the right in this old-time prayer meeting . . .

Lee Harvey Oswald. A lot of the retrospectives on JFK drone on and on about the hateful attitude of the conservatives in Dallas like that's what shot the dude.

If I were the Koch Bros. I'd create a brazillion sinister sounding right wing .orgs and think-tanks that didn't actually have any staff, or actually do anything, just to keep lefties chasing their tails for eternity.

"The Koch Foundation for Internet Correctness and Propriety" would be a good start.  >:D

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
