Palin's hacker

[HakunaMatata2]

Although the news about this has been somewhat limited, it does seem as though the authorities have a serious suspect.

And the silence from the Left, and the media, those champions of privacy rights, is deafening! Where's the ACLU when you need them?

Why would the ACLU go after a hacker? I thought they were only concerned with the government infringing on our rights.

Son of a Democrat State Legislator in Tennessee. I'm shocked. Just shocked!!!

 

[CowboyCO]

Yep -- they are talking to the son of a democrat state senator from Tennessee.

My guess it that it will be spun by the dems as a kid who made a mistake.
I hope he get sent to Jail by both states and the feds.... If convicted , of course.

I guess if the daughter of a Vice Presidential candidate can make a mistake and not have it reflected on her parents then......

Wow -- I didn't realize teen pregnancy came with a jail term like hacking does... I never thought of committing a felony as a "mistake". See my above comment about spin?

And getting one's self pregent became a crime when exactly?

 

[Carly_Roach]

See my above comment about spin?

See my above "laughing out loud" smiley telling you how unbelieveably stupid I think all this is?

 

[LanaJayne]

E-mail really isn't private.

When did pregnancy become a felony?

 

[CapeCodTenor]

I do find it interesting that we haven't really heard much about this. I wonder why?

I'm , what silence? I think there was a thread on this and I don't think anyone said it was okay to hack her emails. What more should they be doing? Is someone saying he should go free?

 

[Jennifer S]

I read that he's 20.

Funny yesterday the Dems were all upset because the finger pointed to them. They were saying it's just a hacker. Why are you jumping to the conclusion it's a democrat? Well......

Have you heard about the economy crisis? How about Hurricane Ike? There are a lot of things happening right now that affect a lot more people. Hackers are nothing new and this was nipped in the bud. The bigger question might be why Palin was using a Yahoo email account.

 

[Oreo Cookie]

If the kid did it, then I say prosecute him just as you would anyone else. It's a crime. I don't think this is because his dad is a democrat. Is his father guilty because his son committed a crime? Are all democrats guilty because the son of a democrat hacked into Palin's email?

 

[Jennasis]

People get hacked all the time. Why is it so much more egregious because it happened to Sarah Palin? I hope the offender gets punished appropriately in accordance with the law.

Yes, I have heard of all those, but thank you for pointing those out to me.

Yeah, the ACLU is supposed to protect us from hackers. I guess the ACLU only protects us from conservative hackers. But there are no conservative hackers. That's why the ACLU just sits around it liberal offices making liberal doodles on all it's liberal memo pads.

Hello ACLU. Anybody home. Maybe if you didn't spend all your time being a scary leftist organization you might stop some of the spam I keep getting in my mailbox.

 

[troobabiee7]

Nope, no one with conservative views on politics ever hacked into anything. Ever. What this kid did was wrong and plain old stupid, but this statement was so ridiculous I just had to laugh. It has nothing to do with democrats and republicans - people of all kinds do stupid things and commit crimes. It's not right regardless of who it is, but believing that no conservatives anywhere have ever done anything like this is just funny
