John Edwards' virtual attackers unmasked, definitely not Republican

Well, looks like one of our commenters was spot on when he said that "'Republicans' didn't do it." 10 Zen Monkeys reports that the identity of the virtual attackers who spammed John Edwards' Second Life campaign office with posters has been confirmed, and they're more virtual prankster than republican pundit.

It seems the people who pulled off the attack are members of a Second Life invasion group known as the Patriotic Nigras. The members of the group spend time making attacks on various institutions within Second Life for no particular reason other than fun, making earlier claims that it was politically motivated currently moot.

While we don't have a video of what happened at the Edwards campaign office, 10 Zen Monkeys did post a video featuring the bombardment of a house with pictures of Mario and Bill Crosby (Jell-Owned, no less). Denizens of Second Life may probably want to lock their virtual doors, though against these fellows a virtual door isn't so much a deterrent as an invitation to try.
