Subdeacon Joe Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/02/25/Obama-s-Organizing-For-Action-Files-Complaints-Against-Website-Owners At the beginning of the year, President Barack Obama's new 501©4 political nonprofit, Organizing For Action, was launched with all the usual bells and whistles. But the tech wizards at OFA forgot one important rule in today's Internet world: Register all the iterations of your website address before someone else does. Now Obama's team is filing complaints against the folks smart enough to get the addresses before he did. As Obama's OFA made its debut, no one in his purportedlyInternet-savvy campaign had obtained the corresponding .com, .net, .orgor .us sites, nor did OFA register other names that are close to itsofficial one, as is the sensible practice. In the case of the .netaddress, a fellow named Derek Bovard had already registered the .netaddress by the time Obama's team took notice. Bovard has routed his new site to the homepage of the National Rifle Association. So, whenever anyone goes to www.organizingforaction.net they end up seeing the homepage of the NRA. Naturally, Obama and his fellow community organizers were furious. Sofurious, in fact, that they have replied by filing complaints againstBovard--and, apparently, a variety of other people who had registereddomain names that OFA now wants. Cute, throwing a hissy-fit because they didn't do all their work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 +1 ya but it would be worth it How about making them a counter-offer: you don't mess with the NRA unnecessarily and we won't e-mail everyone on the planet (UN, every nation, all the churches, all the civil rights people, every news outlet, Disney, Mad Magazine, etc.) and tell them what a dumb ass you guys are collectively.
