I just cant believe we just shutdown a nationally syndicated radio show!
We need to make this thread private-only to be seen by logged in users-otherwise they will be on to us as they will see all the links from this forum in their logs.

Check the archives,
he just said we havent had any Ron Paul callers, and called us a bunch of gutless little geeks!
How is that done?
I say watch out for blow back, there are ways to shut this board down with a reverse attacked.
There are ways, but unless he has the contacts and cash to rent a black hat's or spammer's bot net for a few hours, his options are so severely limited its just about impossible.
He's relying on human screeners and a finite amount of phone lines, this forum relies on a TCP/IP stack running on what seems to be pretty decent hardware considering the response Vs the load.
If he has 6 "screeners":
The show can take 6 connections at once.
This forum can take 32,256 (give or take) connections at once.
The show spends more than 1 minute per connection.
The forum spends less than 1 second per connection.
He would need literally thousands of people sitting at a computer hitting F5 over and over again to even spike the load on the server this forum is hosted on.
My vote is don't stoop to his level. Ignore him. If he was big enough to make a real impact on the campaign, I might reconsider. But he is a nothing. It is not worth the fight, and has the potential to keep on escalating on both sides....
Just IMHO...
