This is guaranteed to generate more hits for Mc Cain’s page than anything else. Controversy sells and sells well. How may on you looked at the current page to see if the image is still there? Thanks to those who did for increasing Mc Cain’s hit count. No doubt he will emulate the nutroot blogs and claim all those hits as an accurate count of his supporters, whether they support him or not.

It reminds me of the infamous shrillary video-nothing but a publicity stunt. It may work, FWIW.

Hotlinking is evil, and those who do it deserve what they get.

Especially when the person hotlinking is working for McShame.

His page wasn’t “hacked”, the owner of the server that was hosting the image that was used for the contact information box just changed the image they were using. That’s what happens when you deep-link an image from someone else’s server, next time use your own (or at least upload it to MySpace).

I totally agree. Plus this goes on all the time and it’s much more effective to swap an image when bandwidth is being stolen than to send off an email cease and desist. Who ever put the MySpace page together should have known better.

So maybe it’ll be the 2012 election where the candidates finally figure out how to use the Internet…

Judging by the strawpoll results, did anyone other than McCain’s team even notice?
