I am hopping mad. Some scumbag has been spamming my comments all morning long. I have about 5 IP addresses captured by Movable Type, and I browsed to http://thatIPaddress for each of them , and each of them had websites. But, of course, these IPs could be forged, so I have no idea if any of them were actually the culprits.

What are some actions I can take to investigate , report, and get these scumbags kicked off of their systems? What can I find out about them? Aside from IP addresses, I have an email thatkeeps posting these , and the website at the domain from which these emails come is an obvious scumbag spamming site (an online drugs/prescription site)

My brother told me about the Blogs for Bush Blog getting press in USA Today the other day, and my immediate (with admittedly no evidence as of yesterday) response was that it was done not as a Bush campaign strategy but by other bloggers who happen to support Bush.

My point is that the Bush campaign itself, while no dount appreciative of the blog support, is not "internet savvy" in the way the Dean campaign is. It was the Dean campaign who has leveraged the "bottom up" , blog-enabled strategy to unite a movement; and a movement that includes several who oppose certain stances of Dean, but who are in the community because it is a conversation.

I looked today, and saw this post which immediately made me reminiscent of Flame Wars, using somewhat juvenile imagery like "Recent attacks by his Democratic rivals have caused Howard Dean to whimper like a small child running to his mother about the neighborhood bullies"
