Howard Wasserman and Richard Esenberg have blogged about the matter before, but now the New York Times is picking up the story (Prawfs gets results!):

FOR the backers of Proposition 8, the state ballot measure to stop single-sex couples from marrying in California, victory has been soured by the ugly specter of intimidation.

Some donors to groups supporting the measure have received death threats and envelopes containing a powdery white substance, and their businesses have been boycotted.

The targets of this harassment blame a controversial and provocative Web site, eightmaps.com.

I have to admit, I don't know what to think about this.  Intimidation, bad; transparency, good; engaged political participation, good; preventing information gathering-and-flow in today's world, probably impossible; etc.  Thoughts?
