In light of the Snowe bill, it is interesting to note a story that appeared in the New York Times Political Blog, that the Republican Nation Committee has registered at least 25 domains names related to Hillary Clinton that link back to the Republican National Committee, including Cannotrustclinton.com, clintonisbad.com

 

The names were either registered by the R.N.C. last year or showed up on servers the committee uses.

 

The R.N.C also registered domains for running mates, Mrs. Clinton’s night choose, including clintonomalley.com, referring to Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland.

 

The day after Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses, the R.N.C. snapped up at least 20 domains related to his candidacy, including baracknotready.com and norealexperience.com.

 

The party has also begun preemptively registering domains that could be used to attack John McCain, like mccainamigos.com, voteagainstmccain.com, flipflopmccain.com and hatemccain.com.

 

So lets get this right, the Republican National Committee is cybersquatting on domains.

 

Domains if we registered we would be attacked for.

 

The Republican National Committee also registered domains, including real people’s names, in violation of the New York law that was passed in 2007, by using the name of the Senator from New York.  Moreover they are stealing the traffic from the domains and sending back to themselves.

 

 

In the meantime a Republican Senator is trying to get a law through that would fine you and me up to 6 million dollars for owning a name like newyorkcheesecake.com because, someone in New York sells cheesecake.

 

Nice.

 

So according to the New York Times, here is a list of the domains registered by the R.N.C . or on servers used by the committee:
