Conspiracy alert! Lefty loons blame GOP/Tea Party cyberattack for O-care site failures

As Twitchy has reported, the much-heralded Obamacare signup sites are proving to be nothing less than a giant festival of fail. But surely that’s not due to the government’s unpreparedness or all-around incompetence, right? Surely more nefarious forces must be at play:

@AlfredSpellman @MarcACaputo Denial of Service attack?

Teabaggers launched Denial of Service attack to deny uninsured Americans access to info about hc options. #treason http://t.co/5ngyWw087U

@LOLGOP Looks like there might be a denial of service attack by right wingers going on, too. Rights of others is so beneath them.

I wonder if the Koch or others have paid to do denial of service on http://t.co/JtypgBXimr websites? Hope not, very illegal.

@texyellowdogdem It's an unethical denial of service attack. Like tying repeal legislation to a budget bill to shutdown government.

Well, the Republican botnet Grover Norquist assembled has successfully orchestrated a denial-of-service attack on the US government.

Ah…and now we get closer to the truth. There's more than one way to a denial of service attack. it seems some wingers are engineering one

I was starting to wonder if that’s the case! A DOS attack really isn’t that difficult to orchestrate! @Karoli

@Karoli @chrislhayes AFP led DoS attack?
— billybam (@billybam) October 1, 2013

Wouldn't surprise me if AFP paid for a DoS attack. “@news3jessica: Here's the message this morning on http://t.co/OHCZywskOs."

@BrianLehrer It seems most of the exchanges are down. Some already suspect an DOS attack. Someone needs to investigate.

@CNN #shutdown I wouldn't be surprised that the GOP hired hackers to do a denial of service attack on Obamacare web site

Boiler-rooms of Republicans hit #Obamacare Health Insurance #Marketplace websites to cause #DOS Denial Of Service errors for real visitors.

“Semen Donor.” Sounds like someone who really knows what he’s talking about.
