Palin's Yahoo! Account Hacked
Updated 8:37 p.m.
By Michael D. Shear and Karl Vick
A group of computer hackers said yesterday they accessed a Yahoo! e-mail account of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, publishing some of her private communications to expose what appeared to be her use of a personal account for government business.The hackers posted what they said were personal photos, the contents of several messages, the subject lines of dozens of e-mails and Palin's e-mail contact list on a site called WikiLeaks.org. That site claimed that it received the electronic files from a group identifying itself only as "Anonymous."
"At around midnight last night some members affiliated with the group gained access to governor Palin's email account, '[email protected]' and handed over the contents to the government sunshine site Wikileaks.org," said a message on the site.
This woman is not smart. Maybe with enough exposure, she'll cripple the McCain campaign enough that no amount of rigging will win the election for the Rethuglicans. Then again, Georgia (my happy home state) went strongly to the McCain side after she was named VP candidate. McCain isn't conservative or religious enough for most Georgians. I'm sure that this is somehow God's will. Maybe he's showing us that Palin is just a flawed human like the rest of us, and it's a damn good thing she's such a good Christian, or she'd really be screwed in life.

Well, one could explain away her poor grasp of computer security with "She's just human", but, how about this?
"Subhuman?", perhaps?
EDIT: It was easy:
"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
I can't access the wikileaks site. Am I alone in this? (I'm in the USA)

This is kind of like watching a fight between Bill O'Reilly and Warren Jeffs . You don't know who you dislike more.

I saw this last night. Its Dick Cheney Redux. So sad.
This story sounds just like that... a "Story". That notwithstanding, I think hacking like this is reprehensible. This is coming from someone who opposes just about every position or idea which comes from the person hacked!
god -- I tried you on for size.... you were a little long in the crotch, loose in the waist, short in the length and you made my butt look extra flat. I had to take you back for an exchange.
This was in the regular news. Those anonymous twats are practically terrorists by the way - this might spell their doom. As is often pointed out, we shouldn't praise things like this because next time it could be some right wing fucktard doing the same to a liberal democrat or prominent atheist.

Right, like they just needed justification. Repubs don't need to do this guerilla shit; they're boning us all quasi-legitimately.
I would think it very ironic if, in dooming themselves, they also helped doom Palin. Two evils cancelling each other out. Somehow, I think they'll survive. Some DA will get himself a high profile conviction of a couple of college students and everybody will pat themselves on the back, but I doubt this will go much further than that.
Right now, I'm still reeling from the story about Palin forcing rape victims to pay for their own medical exams. She's an evil, evil twat.
I definitely don't approve of the methods, or the people behind this. However, I think it needs to be reported. People need to know because this is a woman who wants to be privy to United States security issues. It doesn't matter who hacked her account. The point is, she is not only an evil twat, but a stupid evil twat.
