Tea Party Nation: 'Anonymous' Attacked Us With Porn

[meegbear]

Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips is claiming that the hacker collective 'Anonymous' is attacking the Tea Party Nation website by getting supporters to pose as Tea Party members and post racist pictures and porn.

'Anonymous', however, has seemingly not taken credit for the attack, nor is there much evidence the attack came from them.

On Tuesday, Phillips posted (sub. req.) an "urgent" message on the Tea Party Nation site about what he believed to be a coordinated attack by the group: "We heard through reliable sources that Anonymous, the group that attacked a number of websites around the world would be coming after the Tea Party movement and Tea Party Nation. "

He continued:

So far, Anonymous' attacks have been mostly of the juvenile nature. They have been coming online, posing as Tea Party members and posting racist messages. Those are being deleted quickly. Two nights ago, one of them posted extremely graphic and disturbing pornographic pictures. We discovered it and quickly deleted them. They then sent a suspended message saying, "expect us."

Phillips also posted the following picture, which he said was forwarded by "a friend" from "one of the sites frequented by Anonymous."



The group's preferred MO is a distributed denial-of-service attack, which at least temporarily takes down the targeted site. So far, there's been no DDOS attack on Tea Party Nation. Of course, 'Anonymous' is a pretty loosely organized group, so the attacks are not uniform. On Monday, they leaked what they claimed were e-mails detailing misconduct in Bank Of America's business dealings.

But the graphic itself is questionable proof that 'Anonymous' was behind the offending posts. The site AnonNews, which posts press releases and news reports on 'Anonymous' efforts, hasn't made mention of a recent attack on the Tea Party, or of "Project Reaganomics."

1. Methinks that the attention tarts of the tea party nation are gasping for

relevancy.

[meegbear]

10. I think they're doing a Westboro Baptist

[myrna minx]

11. Exactly - would Anonymous have to tell people to use proxies?

:eyes: They just want attention.

[Capitalocracy]

14. God hates fags: assumption.

Anonymous hates leeches: fact.

www.godhatesfags.com is STILL DOWN. This is a very bad plan, tea party folks.

[Matariki]

26. Sweet! It IS still down.

:rofl:

2. lol nt

3. Tee hee, they said "coming online"

Uh huh, huh, huh, uh huh.

4. Isn't this the same tea whiner group that said "Rachel Maddow" tried to infiltrate them?

Yes it was.

5. Yuh-huh

Somebody's not getting enough attention.

Trust me Tea-babies. You do not want Anonymous' attention.

[LeftinOH]

6. The hateful drivel they talk about is the real "porn".

[Desertrose]

7. Should we call the "whaaambulance"?

Sorry...couldn't resist.

34. LOL!!! Oh man!

TOO funny!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

8. Here's some more "porn" for the Tea Party Nation!

[negativenihil]

9. if this is Anonymous...

...i'll eat my hat.

They've become the current scapegoat for any sort of technical problem now.
That aside, there are a few reasons why i feel Anonymous has nothing to do with this.

First - trolling forums? this does not fit with Anonymous' M.O.
Second - the provided graphic... looks NOTHING like any of the other notices from Anonymous.

As a prior poster said... you don't want the attention of Anonymous, but i won't be surprised if the tea party nation gets just that.
And honestly? I feel they brought it on themselves. I wouldn't put it past them to attempt to (poorly) imitate Anonymous and try to paint them as a political group, despite the fact that they are on record as being apolitical.

12. Hackers would need to be TOLD that they can use proxies?

Hackers pretty much INVENTED proxies. Even if the rest of this passed the sniff test (it doesn't), that alone is suggestive enough of fakery to call bullshit on the whole thing. While people certainly might be posting offensive material to their forum, that hardly proves Anon. 4chan/b/ habitués, maybe, but that ain't the same thing.

[Capitalocracy]

16. They're just trying to blame others for their own filth.

If you listen to these guys, everyone carrying a racist or misspelled sign is just a liberal in disguise. Wow, our agents provocateurs outnumber the actual protesters!

[EstimatedProphet]

18. "Wow, our agents provocateurs outnumber the actual protesters!"

Actually, we do.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

13. This doesn't sound like Anonymous' style

For one thing, the teabagger site hasn't been hacked. Anybody could be doing this, including your grandma. Going on a message board and posting tasteless stuff requires about as much knowhow as checking your email.

I doubt this is for real. It could even be teabaggers posing as liberals posing as Anonymous in an attempt to make liberals look childish and "fearing the Tea Party".

[Lastactiongyro]

15. False Flag Operation

[dkofos]

17. More paranoid whining from the baggers.

Must be the libruls, socalists, and comunishts.

[mstinamotorcity]

19. Made up stories

and its not like they were not telling the truth. the Teabaggers have a problem with color. They only see in black and white.

[Ganja Ninja]

20. A word of advice for Mr. Judson Phillips.

Pray that Anonymous doesn't notice you. They're likely to do something far more creative than posting porn on your Teabagger sites.

[Kennah]

21. Methinks the Teabagger doeth protest too much

[notadmblnd]

22. Not a smart thing to do in my opinion

What? Are they so lacking for attention that they want to provoke a real DDOS attack? Not smart to fake an attack and blame it on anonymous.

[NuttyFluffers]

23. if you asked me 4 yrs ago, i couldn't have dreamt up a more ludicrous & suggestive headline

and yet here i am.

(granted, in my head it reads: Teabaggers claim assault by pr0n by Anonymous. and we'll not talk about an accompanying photo...)

if these are not signs of the end of the world, it's certainly a missed opportunity.

[somone]

24. Patently blatant bullshit

[Rex]

25. That's who I blame too, when my mom find my porn on the family

PC. Wipe history you fools, get rid of those cookies...er DAM that Anonymouse!!!

[TygrBright]

27. "'Attacking' us with porn!" (Please, Brer FOX, don't throw me in that briar patch...) n/t

[MattSh]

29. ENCYLODPEDIA !!!

Tea Baggers strike again!

[toddwv]

30. I don't think most people understand the mindset behind "anonymous"

It is difficult to explain it unless you've been exposed to that "community". Technically, there is no entity that can be called "anon". There is no centralization. There are places that "anons" hang out and use to keep up with the news, but the only singular unifying aspect of anon is the internet. There may be unified factions that call themselves "anon" but they don't represent the entirety of anon. It's more along the lines of a group meeting up and saying, "So, what do you want to do for lolz tonight?"

True anons don't normally announce an attack and then attack. They attack and then announce their success.

[rbixby]

31. Its probably \b\, anonymous's red headed stepchild NT

[FVZA_Colonel]

32. Whether it was Anon or not, this is not the sort of response that won't attract their attention.

[Oilwellian]

33. There was a discussion about teabaggers

in Anon's OpWisconsin chatroom. They have their sites on Koch and their supporters. :evilgrin:

[Zorra]

35. They're lying. nt

[Frank Booth]

36. What the heck is a "pain series"?

[Kalun D]

38. You Don't

Want to know

[devilgrrl]

37. Oh please...

:eyes:

[BR_Parkway]

39. I'm thinking that Anonymous could simply redirect that URL to hustler.com

or twogirlsandacup.com if they were involved, they wouldn't go for these little tricks

Even funnier if they redirected the URL to irs.gov - now that would piss off those folks
