I'd like to create a website with a very radical political message. It won't be unethical (encouraging violence, etc) but I feel the points I plan to list in it will definitely make me a lot of enemies.

How hard would it be to protect my identity from anyone finding out who I am? I know domains always have a $10/year option for privatizing your registration information but is there any other protection I should think about having?

It's against TOS to leave false WHOIS information, so the best way your opponents can attack you is by taking the domain down.

Always use the $10/year privacy service, then everyone cannot see you've left false information.

Then feel free to enter all fake info, and use a proxy while doing it, and whenever you update your website.

I know a dude in Kansas who used 123 Elm St. as his address when he registered his domain names (plural).

Here's an idea. Try to do it has anonymous as possible, leaving Easter eggs so it looks like it stemmed from elsewhere, say some BFL exec.  Grin
