I don't mean to be a wet blanket here because if this is legit it is flipity wah wah HUGE, but all I've seen is the one page on what could be a hijacked domain. I'd really like to see something a bit more substantial, like the guy joining up here or doing a press release or being interviewed by a credible news service--I'd even settle for hearing from him on RonPaulRadio--but so far it just seems to be us and all our own websites doing a serious echo chamber routine on one very thin source.

Google is our friend. Google has always been our friend.

I've sent him an e-mail inviting him here if he wants to have any hope of influencing the hyperbolic outcome of this once we get a full head of steam.

Let's not shout this one from the rooftops just yet -- there is a good possibility that this site is hacked, and is using Ron Paul's enormous web traffic to fish for people infected with a trojan.

The source of the "Conversion Letter" on Obamala.com is fishing for an open 1025 port on the visitor's local machine. Also their mail server route appears to be borked.

If you've visited the site already, it would not hurt to run a virus scanner.

It's all good

From google search:

Firewall programs such as Zone Alarm Security or Check Point Integrity programs insert the above codes automatically for every web page you view.

I turned off my firewall, refreshed a webpage and viewed the source code again and this time it did not show.

It's possible Marc uses a firewall that injects the javascript. The code got copy/pasted into the source on accident. Ron Paul is on his resume site: http://aworkofmarc.com

This guy is for real. I'm currently in an e-mail exchange with him. He sent me a long message telling the story of his transformation, if that's the way you want to put it. I'm trying to get his permission to post some or all of it here. Amongst other things he mentions big egos and people trying to attach their agenda to the Obama campaign. Now, where have I heard that before?

Anyway, I suppose it's too late to say we should not run with this yet, but let's at least try to avoid putting our words into his mouth or rubbing peoples faces in it. My initial impression is this guy could be an asset if we don't overwhelm him and make this into something it is not.
