Bush website blocking foreign IPs

I guess I'm a special case really.

I was born in belgium, grew up in the US and came back to belgium quite some time ago, I have both nationalities and the reason I propably was asked more questions then any other american is because I usualy speak dutch around here and you can hear it in my english.

Actually, Sofi, i feel like you, let the man win. Full steam ahead.
Dont come crying to me

Access to monkey brains site is closed off to the meanie in the u.k!

....now if i could only figure a way of shutting him out of my life!

Couldn't someone from outside the U.S. just proxy to a U.S. server and then connect?

This is from the front page of the georgewbush.com site:



Nice try...not.

I'd say its to prevent DOS attacks from those evil foreigners.

I beleive what cargo was pointing out is the "FRAUD" of the picture. as you can SEE, they have the same FACES, in the ones that were in circles, ,.............. and BUSH thought he was being slick

The American Embassy actually asked you this? DOCUMENT it. get other people to go there. With tape recorders, ect. get this news out there!

Voter inquiries and the like are NOT part of their job, and if they are indeed doing this, those officals need to be reported ASAP!

Do not be surprised if you see anything in the Newspapers or from the Media,......... soon, about this.
It has been reported,

It was picked up on the news here today.

Apparently in the original GWB is on a platform giving a speech to the troops. Somebody thought it would be a great shot for a campaign website or something, especially if the put more uniforms in the shot.....and took George out (of the picture that is).

They got caught out and apologised.

Hey. My wife offerred my sister the same service. Had beautiful photos of her second wedding in the garden with the Roses.....except her ex husband was in the shots.......My wife took him out of the shot and improved it 1000%. A work collegue suggested there'd be a market because she had photos like that too for her to do!

Now, THIS was a nice turn-out for John Kerry, Wed., Night, I was there, it was really great, something I will always remember, John Kerry picked-up my 11 month old grandson and carried him around with him on the stage, that night.
I'm trying to locate a better picture of them than what I had taken myself.



October 27 - Cedar Rapids, IA


John Kerry and his daughter Alex Kerry rally with a crowd of 9,000gathered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Farhyde, you cant link the GWB.com pic here as us foreigners cant see it. I have a friend in Texas who took a screenshot of the site and sent it to me, it is the same as the pic I posted here. That pic is not my webspace mind you, I came across that one with the green and red circles on it from another site. I was going to upload a similar pic to ATS uploads but there was no need as someone else pointed out the photoshopping in the above pic.

craigandrew has pointed out that they were busted and changed it. Although I havn't seen the recent change, obviously.

cheers

Just surf through this site: Guardster. This site gives you an american proxy with it's "anonymous" surfingservice. GWB-site is fully accessible from all the world through this page


Edit: Eventhough it's kind of slow...

Claimed to be due to ddos attacks. ANyone who knows anything about this form of attack, knows it is best using multiple proxy servers, so this will not stop ddos attacks.

It would not surprise me however, if the site was defaced sometime soon.
