Here's some interesting info regarding the April 15 teabagger tantrum "Online Tax Revolt" which was hosted at
http://www.onlinetaxrevolt.com. (Check out
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x456219 for a Rachel Maddow clip about it).
What's interesting is where the website is hosted. The IP address for onlinetaxrevolt.com is 4.203.98.212. A whois search for that IP address -
http://whois.domaintools.com/64.203.98.212 - shows that it belongs to Smartech Corporation.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Smartech, it's an internet hosting company know for hosting Republican and right-wing websites.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SMARTechThey're the company that has been accused of routing the 2004 Ohio election results through their servers in a suspicious manner. They also were involved in the White House email scandal.
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Documents_reveal_how_Ohio_routed_2004_1031.htmlNewly obtained computer schematics provide further detail of how electronic voting data was routed during the 2004 election from Ohio’s Secretary of State’s office through a partisan Tennessee web hosting company.

By then, SmarTech had become embroiled in the White House email scandal, during which it was discovered that accounts at rnc.com, gwb43.com, and other Republican Party domains which were hosted by SmarTech had been used by White House staff,, instead of their official government email accounts, to avoid leaving a public record of their communications. When subpoenaed by Congress, the White House said the emails had been accidentally deleted.
Smartech was subcontracted to do the Ohio election work by GovTech, a company owned by the late (due to a small plane crash) GOP IT Guru Mike Connell.
