Hacktivists?

The New Republic website is currently down -- without explanation. It has been out of order for at least a day now, perhaps longer.

This comes on the heels of editor Jamie Kirchick exposing almost certainly harmful info on the independent-minded congressman from Texas.

I don't mean to cast aspersions, but Paulists are known to be extraordinarily net-savvy, not to mention zealous and strongly opposed to establishment media organs. Certainly, the Paul campaign sanctioned no extra-legal 'direct action', but could some pugnacious "hacktivists" have taken it upon themselves to settle the score, so to speak?
