Obama site smackdown spam only offers malware Spam messages offering links to a tool designed to knock out the website of President Obama lead only to dodgy software. Junk mail ostensibly punting software that allows anti-Obama-ists to become cyberactivists says: "If You don't like Obama come here, you can help to ddos his site with your installs." Disappointingly, no …
The way the Whitehouse has behaved recently, the last thing Obama opponents should do is interfere in any way with the whitehouse.gov website. Just let them get on with making fools of themselves, spamming the electorate and asking supporters to forward any emails critical of Obama's policies to them (now stopped as it turns out to be illegal for the government to collect information on their "enemies").
It's a good thing this scam is just a scam, then, and not a genuine attempt. That leaves the interesting point that attacking Obama seems to be just as enticing to the great unwashed as the free porn that is the usual bait for such scams.
If it was a bunch of truly dotty people who 'fear for America' or think Healthcare reform is a 'Nazi policy' then perhaps they would fall for that, but it's not. They're not randomly looking for targets to attack, they're told which meetings to attend, given talking points, pre-written rant pieces and angried up ahead of time.
That one where they scream obscenities then start reciting the oath of allegiance, has been used a few times now. They plant people throughout the audience to join in and get the audience reciting it, it's that well organised.
Damn, now my computer is pulsating with all sorts of chicks with large family values prominently bouncing in the wind. Why did my fellow birthers turn on me like this? Gonna have to give that SC Governor a call and see if he can do anything about it, except I keep getting this message that he's in Argentina on some sort of religious retreat.
Apocalypse Later: I am not feeling very sympathetic towards the American Right Wing at the moment - because of idiots like these. The URL should be self-explanatory.

She sounds like the sort of moron who would download the malware. And if people lose their computers over it? Good.
That's the new mantra. Bush and Cheney are gone, no other nameable target available, so claim the people themselves are phony. It isn't like President "community organizer" Obama and his Chicago posse have ever organized a protest. Everything their supporters do is spontaneous and from the heart.
Bottom line is that Democratic party congressmen with slim majorities know perfectly well that the protesters represent real voters, and they are very worried about it. Organized protests are what political parties do between elections. At elections they organize the turnout. All parties, all countries. The Democrats control both houses of congress, and they can pass anything they can get all the Democrats to agree on. Obama will sign it. Their problem is that they can't get all their own party onside. (No, I am not an American nor a republican.)
