Liberal Thugs
The next time somebody from the left complains about FISA, I’m going to come unglued on them.
From Michelle Malkin’s site: Sarah Palin’s private e-mail hacked, family photos raided; cesspool blog gloats
Sometime early this morning, between approximately 3:00am - 4:00am, members of an infamous group of hackers broke into Gov. Sarah Palin’s private Yahoo e-mail account. The incriminating discussion threads included screenshots of Palin’s e-mail and private e-mail addresses of her contacts. The threads have since been deleted.
Hacking e-mail is a federal crime. A TV anchor who broke into his colleague’s e-mail account recently pleaded guilty and faces a maximum five years in prison.
The law will catch up to the hackers, but what about the lowlifes who are now gleefully splashing the alleged contents of Palin’s private e-mail account all over the Internet?
The Gawker smear machine - see here for all the background you need - has posted private family photos of Palin’s children that were apparently stolen from the e-mail account.
This is about as lowlife as you can get. I have screenshots of the Gawker’s site and the stuff he put up. What he has done along with the others who have posted all that information from site to site is incite harassment aimed not only at Governor Palin but anyone on her contact list which is illegal.
Nice friends Obama has, eh? And don’t tell me that Obama can’t help what they do. These are the kinds of people who support him from the media down to the smallest lowlife site and their actions are indicative of what we can look forward to under an Obama administration. He’s not doing anything to stop this kind of thuggery, is he? He hasn’t disowned Kos and a number of hateful sites so this is just par for the course. Yet, we’re supposed to believe he’s on the “high road.” He was a rabble rouser in Chicago,he’s still a rabble rouser, and will always be a rabble rouser until the rabble rousers are the ones with the power.
Just what we need, a thug government to keep us in line while they rule the nation.
Update: Palin e-mail investigators contacted son of state rep
The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kernell confirmed on Thursday.
Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal email account.
The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation on Wednesday into the hacking.
David Kernell is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Mike Kernell said he spoke to his son on Thursday, as he does on a regular basis.
Kernell otherwise declined to comment, or discuss his son’s whereabouts and whether he was in custody.
Reports that Palin’s e-mail had been hacked bounced across blogs and into the news on Thursday.
Mike Kernell is a Democrat. Still claim it’s not politically motivated?

What the loony lefties doing this fail to realize is that average people (like me) don’t care. The more drivel they spout the more we ignore it. It’s very juvenile behavior not to mention mean and nasty…

dems love criminals. Just think of Ayers and “stuffed docs in pants”.

That’s what Obama surrounds himself with… thugs… the company you keep…

“He’s not doing anything to stop this kind of thuggery, is he? He hasn’t disowned Kos and a number of hateful sites so this is just par for the course.”
Well, he did say this just the other day - “I’m from Chicago and we don’t play. Just keep steady.” “If we can cut through the nonsense and the lipstick and the pigs and the silliness…”
So yeah, he sure sounds supportive of such bastardy, we’ll believe he won’t support this sort of dirty smearing when he disowns them and banishes them from his side of politics.

He won’t disown them. He has already refused to do that. It gets him what he wants or so he believes. Hateful and hate-filled people who won’t be happy until they make the whole as miserable as they are.

One of the tenants of socialism is to make everybody as miserable as possible.

I think calling Anonymous a group of “liberals” is a stretch. More like bored 14 year olds.
They also hacked John Edwards’s online office in Second Life, messed with Lindsay Lohan’s Myspace page, etc. etc. etc. If they were liberals they wouldn’t have messed with Edwards.
They’re just a bunch of bored kids who get their jollies out of messing with people online. Palin gave them an opportunity by being lax with her Yahoo e-mail and using it for state business, so they went after her.
But to blame this on Democrats or liberals in general is to distort the reality of the group.
They hang around on the /b/ forum of 4chan.org if you want to see them for yourself. It’s mostly a venue for making offensive jokes, posting porn, and playing pranks like this. Left-wing revolution it is not.

RC, You make good points, however, the timing of this is suspicious.

It’s not the hackers themselves. It’s the one who are spreading it beyond the hackers like Gawker and Wikileaks to name a couple. The hackers will definitely be in for some legal trouble when they’re caught no matter how old they are but these malicious nasty sites? Who knows? I believe they could push harassment charges if they want to bad enough because they publicly published emails that were none of their business. There’s only one reason for that.

Sure RC, I’m real sure it wasn’t politically motivated, it’s not like Sarah Palin is running for political office or anything. Sheesh!
Of course this is an intimidation tactic. It’s why the republicans have had difficulty recruiting people to run for office. The press runs every possible smear - and family is not protected. If anyone in your family ever made a mistake, the demobrownshirts will make it headlines. And if you haven’t made mistakes, they’ll make some up for you, they’ll steal your credit report (Michael Steel) publish your emails, mess you up any way they can.
This has got to stop. There needs to be criminal prosecution, or you can bet there’s going to a rise in vigilante responses like the war on illegals.
Political attacks like this damage the process. Who is going to risk it? I know the price for trying to bring honest government back to the side of the people is being met with heinous resistance.

Kathy, according to updates to Michelle Malkin and a couple of other sites, this hack was perpetrated by one person for the purpose of finding dirt on Palin. When he found nothing worthy in the content, he posted the email password so others could do what they will with it… to the point of crashing the email site with so many trying to log in at once. Anonymous isn’t a hacking gang but rather a bunch of mostly infantile juveniles who hang out at a particular board and call themselves /b/tards. There are no registration requirements for posting so a great number of them become ‘anonymous’ by default.
So, yes, the end result is it was politically motivated.

Interesting…
RC is not a commenter I’m familiar with, and s/he has posted this exact same comment on at least one other blog I frequent.
That doesn’t mean it’s wrong, but duplicated comments _do_ make me suspicious.
A note, though. Her account wasn’t “hacked” in the strict sense of the word. The password was obtained through the “lost my password” function. Then various answers that used info from public sources was plugged in for the questions to verify identity, and the person was sent a new password. Let that be a warning to us all…somehow we have to tailor our answers to the questions asked to prevent those who might know us well from putting in the right answers. It would seem that you’d best not be truthful - at least not 100% - on all the questions … at least one of them needs to have an answer that is perhaps unrelated but knowable only to you. “iwannabanana” was one suggestion..! an then you use that response for at least one question in every situation that requires a remembered answer.
I don’t even remember what I’ve put in for questions - much less answers! So all of mine _have_ to be honest - or I wouldn’t know what the answer was! But I guess I could do some bizarre answer on the second question(or the first) every time, no matter what the question was…
