The Internet Strikes Back
A month or so ago, I believe it was the American Family Association that tried to run an online poll -- akin to "Do you favor gay marriage?" or something like that. They were going to send the poll results to Congress, assuming they'd get their hard core supporters to resoundlingly poll against gay marriage. But once the net found out about it, the poll was inundated with responses that were, well let's say contrary to the results they thought they'd get. The AFA took the poll down and ground their teeth a bit closer to the nerve I suppose.
What was really funny was that they seemed surprised at the response. But just to keep things even, John Kerry's campaign tried a similar gimmick and got plastered today. Visitors to Kerry's website today were invited to "make their own page" showing their support for his candidacy. It didn't take long for things to 'er, break down.
Like this.
And this.
And here's a little payback.
Seriously, aren't there, like, paid professionals running this site for Kerry? Are they that stupid?
Uh -- yup.
