The New Generation of Republican Leadership?

Those young rapscallians over at Red Generation are getting into crazy hijinks again.

Calling themselves "The New Generation of Republican Leadership," they sure seem to be making all of the same mistakes of the current Generation of Republican Leadership.

Today's case involves the big netiquette no-no: hot-linking. Check out the following post:

New Jersey's biggest smear outlet, Juan Melli

Who knew the Red Genners loved their gay porn that much? (Rumor has it that the site was originally going to be called Pink Generation, but that domain was already taken.)

Or perhaps they decided to hotlink to a fantastic photo of Juan showing his love for the environment and humongous leaves. And perhaps someone decided to teach them a lesson a la John McCain.

Either way, let's all remember if we're going to steal photos without the permission of the owner, let's put them on our own servers so that we're not also stealing bandwidth.

Seems to me like the next generation of Republicans will continue the proud tradition of indictments celebrated by the current generation.

Update [Juan]: 2 hours, 20 minutes later, it looks like they took down the post. This is what they originally posted, and this is what it looked like afterwards.

Update [PocketAces]: Whoever had 3:50 in the pool, congratulations, you won the prize!

they are obsessed (0.00 / 0)

with juan.

There is enough gay porn to go around, if the GOP wants to embrace the homoerotica i wouldn't begrudge 'em at all. but leeching bandwith is so shady.

I ran into jeff gannon recently (no money was exchanged) and he's a bit, shall we say fleshier than when this pic was taken. so don't look out for any contemporary arty shots of him on red generation's site. unless the next generation of republican leaders is into husky bear types. which is totally cool if they are.

anyway, i hope juan's wife is amused with all the attention these groupies are paying to her husband.

She is blissfully unaware, but she's not the jealous type anyway.

It would make things extra amusing to have an idea of what they little whiny-pantses were originally bitching about before you swapped link references on them. Who do they claim Juan was "smearing" and why?

While I use the term "red state" or "blue state" all the time, "Red Generation" make me think of communists. It'll be a generation gap thing, I suppose.

I have to think of a witty signature about Frank LoBiondo
