Politics: Remember that Glenn Beck attack site? The lawyers got it

  • “Glenn Beck Raped And Murdered A Young Girl In 1990 (dot com)” was nailed. Hard. Last week’s hilariously blatant slander golden boy, GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990.com, was taken down in an attack by lawyers on both its host, data center and registar. However, the site bounced back in alternate form: GB1990.com. In other news, Fark’s Drew Curtis took Keith Olbermann to task for his criticism of the attacks, which are a parody of Glenn Beck’s own tactics. source
