People are abusing the letter-writing program he's offering. Someone else comments and says they're doing the same.

Someone needs to look into this. I emailed the same to them.

1. Why do I keep seeing this nobody...

..right-wing blogger shitheads links posted on this forum?

Seriously, every wingnut wants a soapbox, why would any of us want to hit his shitty blog? Oh no, GOP playing dirty tricks? No one would have expected that...

2. Well...

I think it's because he drives a lot of people crazy. He's sorta unique, actually- a more extreme version of Coulter (he compares himself to Limbaugh- but in tone he reads like a more violent version of her).

He's also just sorta--- everywhere suddenly. He's been spamming livejournal- posting to Indymedia.

Grrrr....

I've seen him for a long time- he used to he a notorious usenet troll. He just drives me nuts. I know it won't be five years before his first book "Kill All Liberals" (or something similar) greets me in the face.

3. And...

He was on the Dean site the other day. That angered me.

4. His fear shows...

He states "the primary nomination of howard dean in 2004 would surely mean the end of the democratic party". If he TRULY thought this, he would adamently support Dean's nomination. In fact, he would do everything in his power to get Dean against Bush.

You can easily sense the fear in his tone, and his only real point is on gay marriage, which will have little to no effect on voters who generally care about two things - economics and our troops.

This guys is pathetic.

9. I Think...

He's waking up and seeing the power of Howard Dean- and he's scared. He suddenly took an interest in him a few days ago and has been on about it.

No, I'm not stalking him. I just watch his site. I don't know where he lives (well, we live in the same Province, so I know the general area, but, you know).

5. I never would've heard of this schmuck....

if people didn't keep posting his stuff here.

WHY on earth would you give him the attention he so craves? Don't you know seeing his blog here on DU makes him EXTREMELY satisfied?

Ignore him!!!

[dougjefferson]

7. I Don't Think As Much

He's very adverse to being criticized. In the few days since people started passing the site around, he's already posted two messages addressing his 'critics' and deleted all comments at least once.

He talks like Coulter, but he can't take it like her (that wasn't meant to be crude).

Give it to 'em!

6. So just what is the spin

that the "Dean is favored by the Roves of this world" going to be on this. That he really meant this in a positive way?

8. Well there is a point made here.

Anyone who can get their hands on these addresses can write letters. It's a great idea, but perhaps the Dean campaign would be wise to do this under the table.

Dude made a point, all I'm sayin'.

[dougjefferson]

10. I Also Wonder...

This might be clumsy- but who's to say that the other Democrats aren't doing the same. Or, for that matter, that they might be used for other dirty tricks.

In every campaign I've worked in, address lists have been a campaign secret. After all- I wouldn't be pleased to lean if someone put my home address on the interent and some kook was using that to sdne me hate mail.

11. You mean like public phone books do?

Because that's really all the letter writing tool is. It pulls up random addresses from a public phone book database.

The data that the Dean campaign is using is already public and this guy could do exactly what he's currently doing by thumbing through a phone book.
