HELP NEEDED: Obama site under attack by wingers - Please DU this!

[Adelante]

The OpenGovt site is being swarmed by birthers and other whackos.

Go to the first page

http://opengov.ideascale.com/akira/ideafactory.do?mode=recent&pageOffset=0

Click on a thumbsdown and you will be asked to register (you can choose no email in your profile if you don't want email)

Then when you return to the first page,

Click that first :thumbsdown: again and it will downrate the post - you will see the number decrease

Continue doing the same thing as long as you can (I got through about 12 pages), but when I went back to the beginning, I saw more had come in, so please keep going back throughout the night, if you can.

Thanks.

1. Thanks for the heads up.

Fuck the birther whack jobs.

[Adelante]

7. One of the comments explains

The link was posted on a couple of birther blogs today, Plains Radio dot com and Dr.Orly Taitz Esg dot com, they are urging their members to come here and bomb the place.....bunch of frickin' morons.

2. Left or right wingers? This is DU after all,

but here it hides under the guise of "constructive criticism".

[Adelante]

4. Right wingers nt

[JHB]

3. Sheesh! If they're THIS concerned about legitimacy...

...Let's have W prove he fulfilled his National Guard obligations. And a full recount of every leagal ballot cast in Florida in 2000. (and Ohio in 2004).

[Kaleko]

5. They need to moderate that site,

create a holding pen for all the repetitive birther posts. As it is, the site is being spammed so hard, it's beyond salvation.

[Adelante]

6. They will have to moderate

It's being destroyed.

[beac]

8. I did my best, but that place is experiencing a whacko spam storm! n/t

[Adelante]

9. Thanks for trying nt

12. After my post I read this... got a few taken down due to stupidity

But man, it's like an Insanity Tsunami over there. Ruining a great idea - brought to you by the "birthers"

[AB_Positive]

11. Rather then spend time modding so many ideas down... mod this one up!

Semi-humorous, but with enough votes perhaps we could make a dent. Plus votes keep it at the top of the page. Vote it up! Vote it up! :D

[goclark]

15. There is a real problem at the site and it should be taken down

The process is not set for civil discussion.

This will continue to happen and it serves to remind us how desperate these hackers are -- it is frightening and that is exactly what they want to do.

[RebelOne]

13. You are required to give an e-mail address. I didn't see any other option. n/t

[WeDidIt]

14. Plus, it sent no email

The fucks have spammed the site so much it is no longer working right.

[Adelante]

17. Look at what the site's Twitter looks like

Clogged with this craziness.



This was yesterday and it's been non-stop posting by these freaks since then.

[Adelante]

16. Yes, you give an email address

When you receive the verification email and click through the link in the email, you can go to your profile and select no notification emails from a drop down menu.

18. Thanks for pointing this out to us! nt

23. Didn't work for me, either. E-mail verification didn't go through.

[Adelante]

24. I wonder why that would happen

I didn't have any problem, but a couple of people have said the same thing. Perhaps the site is overburdened. I believe it is only a handful of freepers doing this, but they are registering over and over with different email addresses.

[Fire1]

25. You know it's them! They're jamming the site.

edit for terminology.

[Adelante]

26. They are so sickening

Homophobes, racists, lunatics of every kind, you name it, and they are pounding that site for over 24 hours now.

[Adelante]

27. WhiteHouse.gov contact form

If you want to let them know you can't get verification.

[redqueen]

28. Thanks.

[Adelante]

29. kick for the night crew

:kick:

[Xenotime]

30. I wouldn't worry about this site. None of the ideas has any traction.

[Adelante]

32. Ideas have nothing to do with it - it's the freeper invasion we're worrying about

It's sabotaging the purpose of the site.

[Adelante]

31. Fresh crop this morning - please get in there, DU

Fight these freeper birthers back.

33. World Nut Daily stepping up Birther attacks on Open Govt website

BORN IN THE USA?
'Transparent' White House blacklists 'birthers'
Obama eligibility topic missing from plans for next phase of dialogue

Despite the "open government dialogue" website being overrun with posts addressing the eligibility issue, the White House appears to be moving on with its plans while ignoring concerns from thousands of people about Barack Obama's elusive "long-form" birth certificate.

"We read and considered all the proposals," Beth Noveck, White House deputy chief technology officer for open government, said in a statement on the White House website. "We took the voting into account when assessing your enthusiasm for a submission, but only somewhat in evaluating relevance."

She continued, "The ideas that received the most organized support were not necessarily the most viable suggestions."

As WND reported, many of the top-rated threads have been from citizens calling on Obama to release his birth certificate. There were more than 200 individual threads and thousands of comments on the eligibility issue alone, but moderators repeatedly edited dialogue about the birth certificate.

Let Obama and everyone else know you care about the Constitution. Take part in the WND's "Where's the Birth Certificate?" billboard campaign!

Even if you have just ten minutes, please go to the Open Government Dialogue site and rate these fuckers down and flag their posts. We need to take back this site.
