ThinkProgress.org is under attack... by being blocked.... [View all]

Just tired to look up something there and got THIS!

Reported Attack Page!

This web page at thinkprogress.org has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack pages try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

even a simple google search for anything on there has a "THIS SITE MAY HARM YOUR COMPUTER" warning...

Looks like the 'thugs have found a new way to scare people into not learning the truth.
