Occupy Las Vegas Web Site: Hacked

And the hits just keep on coming.
Even though Occupy Las Vegas has been an epic failure, apparently, someone has hacked into the Occupy Las Vegas web site, taking it down.
Right now, there is a mostly black web page. http://occupylasvegas.org/
From Examiner.com: Occupy Las Vegas, a local branch of the Occupy Wall Street movement, suffered a hack attack to its website on Sunday that redirected the site about the movement to a website touting anti-Jewish hate propaganda. Those who need information about the movement while the site is down can contact Occupy Las Vegas through their Facebook page.
The movement, which has protested all over the city, has focused its efforts in a busy part of Las Vegas near the Las Vegas Strip and the local university. The protest has been gaining steam with support from both locals and visitors to Las Vegas speaking their minds at the
main site.
Since the Internet became a widespread, common household tool, hacking has emerged as a common means of attacking individuals and organizations whose beliefs lie on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I guess Occupy Las Vegas is the Rodney Dangerfield of Occupy groups. They can't get anyone to to their protests and now someone hacks their web site.
For the real Rodney Dangerfield:

  1. My ultra-liberal friend had to remind me there was an "Occupy Las Vegas" movement here. I'm a conservative guy, but I'm all for demonstrations and opinions like their's as long as they are respectful and law-abiding. A lot of indicators tell me they're not quite as respectful (collectively) as they should be. And no I don't get all my news from Fox News Channel. But I probably should.
