wither souther partisan?

I had this one on the Daily Links already yesterday, but I'm still curious: What happened to Southern Partisan's website? All the content is gone, though of course, not from the Google cache.

What I want to know is, given the fact that this nutbag racist rag's roster of writers has included, over the years, such luminaries as John Ashcroft and Newt Gingrich, is their (attempted) disappearance from the web trying to prevent any more conservatives from having to face Lott's lot?

Anil, I think you should try to get your obsession with Charles Johnson under control and refocus your attention to something else for a change.

Shokrun! That means 'thank you' among people who speak Arabic, unlike yourself.

I think the trick is to not have comments enabled posts anywhere near any posts about LGF.

Gracias! That means 'thank you' among people who speak Spanish, unlike yourself.

Seems to be plenty of content today...although I can't say much for the design. Maybe somebody was messing with the site.

Talking Points Memo has been digging up scans of old issues of SP. I wonder where he's getting them. Surely they're stockpiled in libraries throughout the South anyway.

Let. It. Go.

Are hits really that important to you?

For the, um, unenlightened, what the heck does this site have to do with Charles Johnson?!

problem suspected.

Southern Partisan taking down its web site brings up an important issue regarding preserving content in cyberspace. The luxury of paper is its tactility. It has physical dimensions that make it somewhat difficult to destry (though some have tried). And countless copies of the same paper is stored physicall in different locations, making it even more difficult to destroy. Not so with web sites, there is usually just one copy to go around and when that's gone, most of content is to. It is essentially a double-edged sword. We given up preservation for ease of use. Personally, I think there should be systems set-up (preferably non-profit) that monitors extremist organizations and publication like Southern Partisan (this would apply to leftists, as well) by having permenant copies archived independently.

Niraj:
There is such a website already. It is The Southern Poverty Law Center at:

If Morris has missed a website, it's your responsibility to bring it to his attention. You can't expect five people to do everything for you all the time; you have to help out once in a while, too.

Your are Great. And so is your site! Awesome content. Good job guys! http://xvardenafils.sblog.cz vardenafil [url=http://xvardenafils.sblog.cz]vardenafil[/url]
