Ace of Spades blog being attacked

The vitally important and relevant Ace of Spades website is in trouble financially according to Ace. He blames Stormfront, which is described by Wikipedia to be "a white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic, Holocaust-denialist, and neo-Nazi Internet forum, and the Web's first major racial hate site." Ace believes Stormfront has been targeting his advertisers. Read more about Stormfront at Wikipedia.

A commenter at Ace's blog who referred to himself as "undercover commenter" wrote,
Hizzoner of the blog is referring to Goobers posting anti Semitic and racist remarks so Ace gets deplatformed. Chances are that they are leftists thinking that they are roleplaying but they are really expressing the way that they see the world. The distance between the Nahrzis and Leftists is not much.

Cobbers and ban hammer defenses have not availed against the swarm so far. The Federalist for example had to eliminate comments due to these jokers.

Commenter Lizzy wrote in part,
Considering these [redacted] commenters always come here in the months leading up to an election, it's much more likely paid trolling to disrupt non-progressive online communities.

Ace wrote,
i repeatedly ban the stormfronters. they just come back with new IPs. I cannot permanently ban them unless pixy finally gives me comment registration

I understand Ace's concern here. Leftists post racist comments here and then complain to advertisers that Ace of Spades has racist readers, you shouldn't advertise there.

not much you can do about it, I suppose, except hope that advertisers know that they're trolls and troublemakers.

Several commenters wrote that they thought it was a Moby attack. I don't know what that is, and Google was no help.
