Crazy birther website obamafile.com goes under... due to lack of contributions!
I won't publish the link because it's to a certain right wing site that specializes in the birther conspiracy theories, but...



TheObamaFile.com, an extensive information depot questioning Barack Obama's eligibility to hold the office of president, has vanished off the Internet, and its publisher believes the political end is also near for the commander in chief.

"This guy is coming down, there's nothing anybody can do about it," declares Parker Shannon, a 70-year-old retiree who has documented alleged violations by Obama for the past two years from his home in suburban Boston.

But Shannon stresses his decision to shut down the site had nothing to do with any kind of pressure from the government.

"The Obama camp didn't get to me. They can't," he told WND. "What got to me is my fellow Americans, the cheap bastards."

...

"I'm disappointed," he said, explaining he lives on Social Security and a small amount of retirement money. "I just am tired of doing what I'm doing, and I get 50 e-mails a day telling me I'm a great patriot and they're praying for me. I don't want to hear it. Just send me $10."

Shannon says he spent 60 to 70 hours a week on his efforts and received only $240 in the entire two years despite displaying prominent donation buttons. The home page now just has a logo and the words, "Closed. Lack of support."

"There was no warning. This is freaky scary. " said Tony Licursi of Kennesaw, Ga., of the sudden shutdown. "There was more info there than Tacitus could've ever dreamed."

...

Shannon expects the process of removing all pages from his site to take several days, but he expects the information revealed to this point will lead to the political demise of Obama.

"It's out in the open now. It's viral, as they say, on the Internet," he said. "The game's afoot, there's enough guys out there that have entered the fray. Nature will take it's course.

"I just wonder when the world is gonna discover the son of a b-tch is a communist."

Within three hours of WND posting this article, Shannon posted a few paragraphs of explanation on the Obama File.

...

"I realize I sound bitchy, but I'm discouraged – yeah, and angry. You want me to fight the fight, but you don't want to give me any bullets. I'm done. I'm going to the beach."


Whoda thunk that selfish bastards who complain about any taxes would fail to financially support their wingnut, Communist hating (but living on Social Security) brethren? :shrug:

5. Fool paid too much for hosting
SPRY servers start @ $33.00 per month. Dude could have started small with a Godaddy virtual account @ $4.99 per month and worked his way up to a whopping $14.99 per month for unlimited transfer, storage, databases and email accounts.
