OTOH, their outrage is so funny, as is their cluelessness. I can't believe they abbreviated Secret Service SS.

Typical of their infantile mindset We all knew types just like them in elementary school; bullies who felt it was perfectly okay to go after whomever they pleased. But if someone dared to fight back or give them the same treatment, then the bullies lost their minds. It was so unfair! These types of idiots are no different, and coming from a childlike perspective as they do, it's no surprise to me.

Maybe an attorney can let us know. You know, liberals really are slime. I've emailed the WH web team. The fact that they are using copyrighted photos without permission of the photgrapher might be their downfall. Interestingly enough, the site is hosted on a Hampshire College server, and is owned by a student there. Someone though it would be useful to post the WHOIS information about the domain's owner. Along with email and phone number. --- What charmers they are, eh? The children's page is EXACTLY what I pointed out to the WH web team. Hopefully the SS is all over these guys.

LuminousX (471 posts) Aug-09-02, 01:10 PM (ET) 32. The Ineffective Wow, this site stirred up a hornet swarm for the Freepers, which is sad because it is a subpar site. Did they get this upset over whitehouse.org? Probably not because they knew they couldn't do much to an adult who has his/her own webhost, but they do know they can call up a college and tie up its time concerning this. The Freepers are hoping that they can be such a nuisance that the college just tells the guy to take the website down to stop the calls. All this bluster over nothing, just so they can feel like they are bigshots. People operating at this level are anything but bigshots and if the student needs a place to put his website, I've got a list of good hosts. ================= Writing from Free Illinois, Fighting for Occupied America. ================== The Daily Sledgehammer   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

The thread targeting the webmaster was yanked and replaced with this message: "Even though it is available online, personal data isn't a good thing to post here. Maybe you can post a link to the WHOIS results. " That was at about 4 pm. It's now four hours later and the thread with the kid's personal data is still up.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

Great entertainment from Freeperville. They never disappoint, do they? Thanks for the great belly laughs.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

Wells (105 posts) Aug-09-02, 03:00 PM (ET) 51. Laura's campaign It seems to me that Laura is just campaigning for minority votes. "What a nice person she really is, really. Let's not talk about how Florida Blacks were denied voting rights, or about how Mexican immigration reduces the bargaining power of labor, etc, etc, blah, blah. She likes Asians as well as Blacks and Mexicans and want all to live in a suburban garage with an attached house. She dresses nice and has a nice smile".   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

snooper2 (522 posts) Aug-09-02, 03:36 PM (ET) 52. You guys are missing the funniest part.... When the dumbasses write in thinking it is the real Whitehouse website...... like this one... SUBJECT = "Department of Faith" will clash with the Supreme Court along with "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance NAME = ATT Claeyssens E-MAIL = claeyssens@att.net MESSAGE = Please make no mistake about my intentions...I am a big fan and supporter of George Bush. So I am worried. When the official White House Website tells of the establishment of a "Department of Faith" that oversees the disbursement of "Millions of dollars of taxpayer money to religious charities", alarm gongs are going off that were first fired by the recent California Federal Appeals Court ruling that Congress unconstitutionally put "Under God" into the pledge of allegiance. This is a very flagrant violation of the separation of church and state. Although the Constitution and its amendments refer to "Congress" as not making any laws regarding the establishment of religion, the President should also be careful not to be perceived as too narrowly associated with any special religious group, such as "God's favorite church". This will only serve to alienate the thousands of other churches. Please, please be more careful, and have your campaign management review the website content. Perhaps they should even be running it, because when election time rolls around, these things will definitely be trotted out and splashed in news and political promotion pieces with disastrous effects. Right now it is difficult for critics to attack him, but in the political season, anything goes. - Paul Claeyssens link http://www.whitehouse.org/feedback/mail/6.asp "In these awful days, George W. Bush has become the American Yasir Arafat, an empty, repetitive, shifty public personality who talks out of both sides of his mouth, with little or nothing to say from either of ’em. Oh, he’s still Israel’s man: maybe not quite as much as he was on Tuesday, but more than he was on Thursday, though by Sunday, who knows, he might be back in staunch-ally mode again, or conversely he might have a few encouraging words for the Arab side. He’s as purposeful as a wind-up toy boat with a bent rudder doing circular putt-putts in the bathtub." by Nicholas von Hoffman, New York Observer Quote of the Day: "In my state of the ... my State of the Union or state - my speech to the nation - whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation." – President Bush, Tuesday morning in Connecticut.

And if you think the wackos over at Freeperville are bad enough, check out the hatemail that whitehouse.org gets. It is so hilarious, 90% of the mail there is from brainless right-wingers who don't even realize that it's a parody site. Here's a fine example: Come Feb 2002 I will not submit to the tatoo demand. It is AGAINST all my religious beliefs, I cannot believe that Bush is in approval with this. Doesn't he read Revelation at all?? This is heresy!!!! This is an abomination!!!! If this goes into effect, I will no longer be republican!!!! There are probably hundreds more, I just skimmed through the first ten. It's hilarious. -Ma'ayan _________ Gore in '04! The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then gets elected and proves it. -P.J. O'Rourke   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

trafalgarsquared (107 posts) Aug-09-02, 09:02 PM (ET) 59. I called Peter up and humorously enough... He mentioned that he used Macromedia's Dreamweaver (a well-respected web page designing program) to do two things: 1) mirror the White House web site 2) do a simple search and replace on certain words or phrases. That's it! It's why everything looks so well-done. High concept, low tech satire. Hopefully he'll heed my warning to put the words "satire" or "parody" someplace on each page to avoid any litigation. Also, he had no idea how infuriated the right-wingnuts were about it so hopefully he's able to fully savor it now... 8^)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top
