Is Ron Paul Destroying Your Inbox?

Is the Ron Paul Campaign spamming inboxes? Metafilter says maybe. Salon and Wired say, probably, citing the use of spam bots from international locales.

Libertarian bloggers, meanwhile, aren't taking such criticisms lying down. Says one blog, "I find it far more likely that this botnet spam attack is not the design of the Paul campaign or any of its supporters. It is far more likely that this is the release of a first round of direct cyber attack against the Ron Paul campaign."

Personally, I think the most likely scenario is that everyone running for president is an android from the planet Spambot, and we're all part of a great intergalactic spam experiment. More news as the story unfolds.
