Clinton Campaign Breached By Hackers
An anonymous reader writes: Hillary Clinton's campaign network was breached by hackers targeting several large Democratic organizations, Reuters reports. Clinton's campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill confirmed the hack in a statement. 'An analytics data program maintained by the DNC, and used by our campaign and a number of other entities, was accessed as part of the DNC hack. Our campaign computer system has been under review by outside security experts. To date, they have found no evidence that our internal systems have been compromised,' he said.
The hack follows on the heels of breaches at the Democratic National Committee and at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee earlier this year. More than 19,000 emails from DNC officials were published on WikiLeaks just prior to the Democratic National Convention, casting a shadow over the proceedings. Some security experts and U.S. officials have attributed the breaches to Russian operatives, although the origin of the email leak is less certain.

Stop watching movies and thinking they are real.
Someone had to do it.
So saying things some people don't like (while lacking any immediate calls for violence)... is now considered a hate crime?
Truly the SJW's have won the cultural war... if you are right... which thankfully you are not.
America is a liberal country - Love it or leave it.
Point 1: America is 38% conservative and 24% Liberal. (source).
Point 2: "Love it or leave it" is effectively "shut up and sit down". It calls for a suppression of free speech typical of tyrannical, abusive dictatorship. Turkey can say "love it or leave it" with some justification. America cannot.

Insults are the domain of the Democrats, have some couth. Republicans don't generally use insult as a substitute for rational thinking, that's a Democratic play.
We could easily build stories about Hillary being Marie Antoinette ("let them eat cake"), or Lucrecia Borgia (for all Clinton's opponents who have died under mysterious circumstances), or even Lilith ("Mother of demons"). Some of them would even have a rational basis. It would be a counterpoint to Trump being Hilter, Stalin, or Cthulhu.
But we don't, because we believe the head rules the heart. We have smart people here at Slashdot, we don't have to descend to common name calling.
"Heart rules the head", IOW emotional thinking, is what Democrats do.
We don't *need* to spout lies or insults.
Don't descend to their level.
(And if you're a Democrat reading this and are angered: take the challenge. Post a reason why Hillary would be better than Trump as president, without outright lying, insulting, or wishful fantasy. In other words, cite their stated positions instead of "he'll do *this*" or "she'll do *that*. I don't think anyone can, but if anyone can, they'd be here on Slashdot.)
So Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith.Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty weren't killed there in large part due to Hillary?
Nope, they were killed there. But not "in large part due to Hillary" except on your fantasy island.
Someone had to do it.
Remember everyone, the DNC can be hacked and the Clinton campaign can be hacked, but there's NO WAY IN THE WORLD that Hillary's homebrew email server was hacked. Nope. Not possible. Pure as the driven snow.
Hateful speech is not a crime. This is not the EU. You can be a NeoNazi and drape your house in swastikas if you want. It's only a hate crime once you start gassing people or telling other people to do so.
I want to know how much money Trump really owes to the Russian oligarchs? Would he pay them back in political favors if he become president?
16 US embassies and/or consulates were attacked during GW Bush's presidency. 60 people were killed. There were NO congressional hearings. Double standard, much?
Who cares if her server was hacked? It never stored any classified information, and if hacked, all they would get is her yoga routines & wedding plans for her daughter.
We have the assurances of the Clinton herself to validate that truth with.
You mean besides the part where the Benghazi embassy requested extra security and she along with her underlings said there wasn't any money for it? But they could come up with the money for electric car chargers for the embassies in Europe?
Om, nomnomnom...
Yeah, who cares if one of the most powerful people in the world violated federal law and put national security at risk. Stop obsessing about it.
Let's ignore the emails about rigging the election and instead focus on how these hackers are trying to rig the election.

Hillary Obstructed Boko Haram's Terror Designation as Her Donors Cashed In
In January 2015, I was one of the first to report on a massive massacre by Nigerian terror group Boko Haram in Borno State in northwest Nigeria, with reportedly thousands killed. Witnesses on the ground reported that bodies littered the landscape for miles as towns and villages had been burned to the ground, their populations murdered or fled.
And yet, as Boko Haram began to ramp up its terror campaign in 2011 and 2012, Hillary Clinton obstructed the official terror designation of the group over the objections of Congress, the FBI, the CIA and the Justice Department.
Nice deflection onto Bush. I gotta ask how is he running for office again and what the hell makes you think it absolves her sins.

Once a machine is compromised, absolutely nothing on it can be trusted. With full access to a machine, log files can be erased or modified to cover all traces of intrusion. Couple this with the fact the machine was wiped, like with a cloth, and it is plainly obvious that any forensic analysis will be a waste of time. The fact is, the server in question was actively running insecure services on Internet facing ports, insecure as in there were known exploits at the time.
It was once reported that a fresh install of Windows (an ancient version) would be compromised within minutes (10-15?) of being connected to the Internet due to the number of random scans. Clinton's server was running a wide-open vulnerable service for MONTHS. Let that sink in.
I'm not obsessed about it, actually. I don't particularly care about US federal law or national security anyway. What I find somewhat more troubling is attempts almost on the eve of elections at conveniently removing one of two major candidates for the leadership of a global superpower in a world I happen to live in, even if I happen to live in a different part of it.
Ezekiel 23:20
Oh, laws were violated. They just were excused. Comey is on record saying that anyone else Hillary caught doing what Hillary did with the same evidence, would be prosecuted. How does that sit with you? I guess it sits pretty good as long as some ass official says it's ok for one but not for anyone else. Try getting past your cognitive dissonance. You're failed logic is the pillar of corruption.
Who decides what is hate speech? You? Hillary? Obama?
I tell you what, I think it's hurtful and mean to say that I have white privilege. I believe that I am being singled out purely based on the color of my skin and it being assumed that because of that skin color I am somehow a hazard to society. I think it's further hateful and harmful that I am assumed to be misogynistic because I have a penis. Based purely on my gender I am assumed to be a destructive element to society. I believe that the terms "white privilege" and "male-dominated" are micro-aggressions, that they are racist and sexist generalizations, and by every comparative definition to anyone that chants them while quite literally RIOTING in the streets, they are undeniably guilty of hate speech.
Where is your outrage for harms done me?
Where is your campaign slogan to protect me from the wildfire of anger and hate directed at me?
Or will you admit that by your definitions that free speech is for you to stir anger toward me, but that you personally mean to deny me any rights to turn that speech back on you.
