"Anonymous" Hacks Palin's Private Email
netbuzz writes "'Anonymous,' best known for its jousts with Scientology, has apparently hacked Sarah Palin's private Yahoo email account. Contents, including sample emails, an index, and family photos, have been posted by Wikileaks, which calls them evidence that the GOP vice presidential candidate has improperly used private email to shield government business from public scrutiny." Note that there is no easy way to tell if the material on Wikileaks is genuine or a hoax. Update by J : Genuine.
Pardon my ignorance, but who is this Sarah Palin, and why is she in the news all of a sudden?
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
She's kind of got this whole hot milfy soccer mom look to her. I'd jam my cock into every orifice of her hot little body.
The only VP candidate I'd ever spank it to.
I got a good laugh out of that... they're sicking the "Secret Service" on Anonymous... guys with dark glasses and big guns. Yeah, those guys will track down these hackers pronto! NOT!
I'm fighting the urge to post an e-mail of an enemy, claiming it's a tip that should be followed. The only problem is, I don't hate anyone that much... too bad! It would have been fun. Any of you guys up for some random dead-end lead generation, just for some good-old immature back-to-college-like hacks? Here, I'll start: I'm 100% sure this is the A-hole who gave Anonymous Sarah's password. She's an insider with confidential info: roseanne.hughes@alaska.gov.
Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.
I suspect it shows that pretty much anybody, subjected to enough scrutiny, will fall afoul of the law.
How come Anonymous isn't trying to crack into Obama's accounts? I mean, other than the fact that he's never held a position important enough to be held to such exacting standards.
Potato chips are a by-yourself food.
In Alaska, oil companies send every man, woman and child a check every year to keep them quiet about what they do to the environment. I seriously doubt they have a Sunshine law.

We cry and bitch and moan about warrantless government wiretapping, yet when some group of a-holes breaks into an elected official's personal email account and posts screenshots on the web, we see it as just some more dirt on a candidate. The best word that describes that is "despicable."
No, the fact that this is the only way to get information about these people that decide that they are above the law (Bush, Cheney, and now, Palin), is despicable. We, the people, shouldn't have to wait for somebody to do this in order for us to get information about what our publically elected officials are doing. If anything, I'll bet that this hack was a response to Pain's office ignoring court orders.

I don't respond to AC's.
Someone who at one end believes in Creation (therefore rejecting the very science that gives us - unfortunately - nuclear weapons, and the ability to refine petroleum products as well, not to mention explaining their very existence in a way the Bible (oddly!) omits) - and at the other end believes in an imminent Apocalypse (more irrationality). You would put the fate of Civilisation past present and future in their hands?
you had me at #!
Not to mention that from all appearances (I may be contradicted later), Sarah Palin's beliefs are probably pretty much mainstream among regular church-goers. The people really excoriating Palin are mostly militant atheist types who currently have the Democrat party's balls in a vise. People who are middle of the road, or undecided, look at such dialog and think the Democrats must be friggin' lunatics. Of course, most of them aren't movie stars, or have blogs, or news shows on MSNBC... but they do have numbers.

More specifically it's because I'm a biologist dependant on federal funding
Why can't you make something useful and sell it? Being dependent on the federal government especially does not entitle you to run any portion of it.
This is my sig.
