Taking Flack

There is an old adage that states, you know you are over the target when you start taking flack.  If that is indeed the case, then our friend and fellow blogger Gary Gross is spot on over the target.  Sometime during the day yesterday, his blog Let Freedom Ring, went down for a few hours after taking (according to his web host) a large spike in traffic.  The site went down again today after it was verified that the site had been hacked.  As of this writing LFR is still down.  

To speculate that this hack was politically motivated is not a far fetched one.  Over the course of the last year Gary has taken on a number of liberal institutions including AFSCME, SEIU, EDMN, the League of Women Voters, the administration of St. Cloud State University and Alita Messenger/Alliance for A Better MN/Take Action triumverate.  He has, in this last 18 months, made more than a few enemies with axes to grind.

While the tech issues are being worked out at LFR, Gary will still be writing for the Minneapolis Conservative Examiner and at True North.  His daily readers can go there to get the ringing fix of conservative red meat.

The fact that the left is attempting to silence one of the more powerful conservative political voices in MN shows just how badly they are losing the battle of ideas.  Now is not the time for conservatives to sit back - we need to press forward even harder.  We have already seen how high the stakes are in 2012.  They know that they can not win on the battle of ideas so they are going to do whatever they can to bully the GOP into silence.  If they can't shout us down, then they will do what ever they can to SHUT us down.
