Hoekstra Opponents Register PeteHoekstra.com

Opponents of Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and a candidate for governor in his home state, have snatched up PeteHoekstra.com -- which Hoekstra apparently never bothered to register -- and filled it with posts attacking the congressman.

The registrants have registered the site through Domains By Proxy, a service that keeps registrants' names out of whois searches.

TPM was not able to learn the identity of the registrant, but did have an email exchange with three people who purported to be the registrants, via the email address listed on the site: [e-mail]. (The emails in response came from the email address notpetehoekstra@gmail.)

The purported registrants told TPM three people teamed up to register the site. They said they knew the domain name was open, but didn't move to buy it until Dec. 30. That was the day after Hoekstra sent out a letter using the foiled Christmas Day terrorist attack to raise money for his gubernatorial campaign.
