Yesterday somebody set up the web site "Sarah Palin supports gay rights". Below is a screen shot from that web site.
Charles Johnson:
Interesting. There’s nothing else on the page. This sure looks like the work of the dastardly right-wing anti-gay attack machine, doesn’t it?
But look who’s really behind this.
In the Linux console, if you enter the following commands, you can learn the secrets of a political dirty trick. First, look up the host of ‘sarahpalingayrights.com’ to get the site’s IP address.host sarahpalingayrights.comsarahpalingayrights.com has address 74.208.74.232
Then use the same command to look up the domain name pointer of that IP address.host 74.208.74.232232.74.208.74.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer obamadefense.comWell, well. “Obamadefense.com,” eh?
And what happens if you enter obamadefense.com on your browser’s address line?Why, you’re redirected to none other than FightTheSmears.com, the official Barack Obama site that’s supposed to be defending him against smears.
Looks like they may have a second purpose: to generate a few smears of their own.
Charles has found 3 other anti-Palin web sites that have the same IP address as Obama's FightTheSmear web site.
Michelle Malkin has more on the Left's loony attempts to discredit Palin - leftwing nutjobs apparently think pictures of Palin in a bikini will erode Palin's support among social conservatives.

actually, going to it on August 31 redirects to http://alchemytoday.com/obamataxcut/. Running a WHOIS query then on sarahpalingayrights.com yields a listing detailing that the domain name has been revoked due to spam and abuse. So, the site's no longer up. Also, it should be noted that not long ago an interesting little DNS problem was made aware to pretty much everyone saying that it was possible to do an exploitation hack allowing people to become various other sites. Not saying that this may indeed have happened here, but if it was revoked as suddenly as it was, I'm placing my money on it not being an Obama smear.
