Nefarious right-wing website hacked by liberal moonbats?

Although their website is still up and running, it seems some liberal moonbats have hacked one of the nefarious right-wing sites (or at least their mail server) I visit and whose newsletter I subscribe to, called MoneyTalks.net.  It’s “right-wing” because it’s about managing private people’s money and it endorses “free enterprise” and “free markets”, and (dare I say it?) “profit”!  How evil for a Canadian site!  And it’s not even state-owned or subsidized!  Hey—wouldn’t that make them “extreme” right-wing?  I definitely think so!

I just got a newsletter emailed with a subject line marked several times with “[SPAM]”, and if you look at the snippet of the header info below, a “from” address which is that of General Dynamics—the American military aircraft maker.  This is a typical ploy of lefties. 

Here’s a heavily edited snippet of the email header:

Dear Money Talks subscriber,
We have posted a new Michael Campbell editorial, newspaper column and
contribution from KeyStone on http://www.moneytalks.net

[snip]

Maybe it’s just their newsletter server that got hacked.  Don’t know.  Best of luck to them—I’ve been there!

UPDATE – 3:30 PM pst:  They emailed me and confirmed that yes they were under attack.

Bad new is – yes, it appears to be.

Good news is – the system seems to have caught whatever was trying to get in, although it has resulted in a re-sending of the last posting…
