how Factcheck traffic was rerouted to George Soros.

First off, Factcheck.com is an on-line education resource, offering information on how to get online diplomas, dictionaries, etc. The owners of that site reside in the Cayman Islands.

Their webmaster noticed a tremendous spike in traffic/hits 10 minutes after Cheney sent viewers there Tuesday night.

The Factcheck people tracked the source of the increased traffic to no other than "Freerepublic.com". They had posted a thread sending their minions there.

The lawyer talked to his clients, and they resented being used by the Republicans -- even inadvertedly. They also didn't want to pay for all that extra traffic. So they decided to reroute the traffic to Soros' home page, as paying for the extra traffic wouldn't bother him, and they could make a political statement at the same time.

The lawyer was a very funny guy -- he referred to Freerepublic as "Freerepulsive.com"

:D
