I went over to the site of Fox radio host [Tom Sullivan,](http://www.tomsullivan.com/forumapp/down.asp) (Olbermann made him Worst Person in the World, so I wanted to look), an the site was hacked by Turkish nationalists. I presume Fox will fix it in a few minutes. I have never seen this IRL before. ---

I knew that islamic Fundies were on the rise in Turkey, but I didn’t know that they’d made Armenian genocide-denial part of their mission (perhaps to embrace secular Turk genocide-deniers?) ---

Heh … freaky. It’s still up. It reads (and looks) like a foreign conspiracy theorist’s manifesto – no threats of violence, just computer hacks and general nutjobbery. ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IS A LIE!!! THE TIME CUBE SAYS SO, YOU ARE ALL STUPID!!! ---

[QUOTE=jjimm] Is that Ataturk on the crest? [/QUOTE] It is. I was in Instanbul in November, and they have a bit of a cult of personality going with regards to him. We saw his portrait everywhere we went. Shops, museums, etc. The website almost has a jokey feel to it. ---

I thought Ataturk was supposed to be a liberator? ---

Looks like Fox redirected it. Anyone need screen caps before I close the tab? 🙂 ---

They must have fixed it. The link in the OP still comes up with the Turkish hackers’ site, but when I Google Tom Sullivan, I get his home page on the Fox website. ---

It’s “not found” now. [QUOTE=Not Dr. Seuss] Behold, the Turks have hacked our Fox! The IT guys just blacked the box. Let’s hand it to those crazy fundies Up all night typing, in their undies, They’ve struck a blow! They should be men of pride; Too bad they’re lying about genocide.
