long a facile and compliant mouthpiece
Regardless, it is protected by free speech. Like or dislike the politics, attacking a web site by script kiddies is little different from talking in the theater and peing in the snow in the park. But if we want to factor in the politics, then if it is under attack and their server isn't dieing, there is possibility that someone is attempting to muzzle a competing viewpoint. Kinda violates the spirit of what we say we stand for.
If that is what politics is becoming, then this is not a place where you want to be happily crowing about it- "rightwing, lunatic paranoids" has been used to describe people who think that it is not only normal but proper for the private person to have 20 or 30 gallons of water, a month of food stored and against storm, earthquake, and economic disruption. Particularly when they also think their protection and defense starts with them. IE, most of the people on this site.
