Update on DemsTV.com - looks like there might have been some foul play

Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 09:49 PM by Goldmund

I told you guys earlier today about DemsTV.com launching today at noon. Well, the site has been inaccessible all day, and its looking increasingly like our friends on the right have successfully (and illegally) shut the site down. Our boys are still investigating, and it's still possible that the site has been so wildly popular that that is what caused the problem (such a problem to have!), but nonetheless, many of us think that after Sean Hannity complained about DemsTV.com on his show last night, one of his deranged followers might have done something.

Anyway, in the meantime, you can watch the premiere episode of DemsTV.com here (get rid of http://) where it is parked temporarily until they move to a bigger and better protected server. (Warning, I'm in it and haven't seen it yet, so I have no idea how it turned out.) And, sorry, but the link won't work in FireFox - hey, it's a temporary mirror, be nice.

Also be sure to check out Hannity whining last night about the edgy ad DemsTV.com has been running, an ad that takes Hannity on.

That makes me so mad. Why can't they let us have SOMETHING?! The link didn't work.

2. They may have just got more traffic than they expected,

and exceeded what they had paid the isp for.

7. I was only able to play it using Internet Explorer, not

Netscape Navigator.

I used this url with Internet Explorer:
