CROOKEDCOHEN.ORG?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I received a tip this evening about a new website attacking Democratic nominee Sen. Cohen in the 9th Congressional District race.

In my opinion, the Crookcohen.org site does not seem very credible and give me an impression of vagueness. Because it is a relatively new website, perhaps it will improve its content over time. Check it out and comment here.

http://crookedcohen.org/index.html

Allegedly, the Crookcohen.org organization has written a letter of complaint to Bill Gibbons, David Kustoff and Bruce Androphy asking for an opinion/investigation into Senator Steve Cohen’s alleged unethical business dealings which can be viewed at:

Does anyone know if a complaint has been officially submitted to the proper authorities?

Word among the sensei has it that XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX may be behind this website, but I don't believe in publishing hearsay. Can anyone confirm or dispute the allegations on this website for me?

I used my advanced 9th level ninja training to sneak into Network Solutions to get the scoop on who owns this website, but then I found out it was all available in the public domain:

"Word among the sensei has it that the Jake Ford for Congress camp may be behind this website, but I don't believe in publishing hearsay."

"... but I don't believe in publishing hearsay."

Aforementioned - you just have!

You are right. I'm contradicting myself here.

... as for sneaking into Network Solutions.

Well, well, well... speaks volumes methinks.

As an aside, Thaddeus Matthews obsessed over checking out domains throughout his ill-fated Recall quest and general anti-Ford vendetta, in order to bolster his conspiracy theories.

A ninja is neither seen nor heard, so I doubt if Network Solutions will ever know I was there.

I am not obsessed over checking domains, because the registration information really does not tell you anything that the registrant does not want you to know. I did check it out in this case, because I wanted to see if the registrant had put his/her information out there. The person who gave me the tip about this site asked me to post it on my blog.

While I give Thad his propers for doing a blog that attracts many web viewers, I think he focuses too much on the scandal side of the issues. It makes for interesting reads, but it's not the approach I am taking with this blog. My conspiracy theories will usually be backed up with citable references.
