Kos:
The Lieberman campaign is on a whine attack, claiming the Lamont people "hacked" their site.
If they did, get the FBI on it and the guilty parties should be charged and tried.
But the Lieberman campaign has no evidence that the Lamont campaign had anything to do with it.
I'd be willing to bet that their website host couldn't keep up with increased traffic demands. Covering for their own incompetence, they're blaming it on "hackers".
Daily Kos is under constant Denial of Service attacks. Usually it just slows the site down, on rare instances, it actually brings it down for a few minutes. But then I have competent people working for me, and my web host is run by competent people who can fight off DoS attacks against their clients with little effort.
To claim this is somehow an orchestrated attack by "bloggers" or the Lamont campaign is absolutely ridiculous.
I'd like to see it all backed up with actual evidence, but of course, that's not what this is about. This is a last-minute smear job to cover their own incompetence and that of their vendors.
Stoller has an email from a tech guy offering actual facts. Bottom line? It's not a DoS attack, and Lieberman's web company is incompetent.

Update: The Lamont campaign immediately offered its technical staff (they have competent ones) to the Lieberman campaign to help get their site back up. But the Lieberman campaign refused.
Lieberman's people aren't interested in their crappy website working. They're interested in one last smear.
