uhhh... don't overthink this one

"Gwen Moore's son in '04, this leftist scumbag now. Democrats and their spawn behaving dishonorably isn't a new phenomenon.

This might get more interesting as we find out about Kernell's apparent David Plouffe connection.(Obama's campaign manager)"

Are you sure you're not making a little bit more out of this than what it is? Couldn't it just be a college kid proud of his (not that impressive) hacking abilities just being a little bit dumb and reckless? And if there really is some conspiracy here, can't you give the Obama camp a little more credit?

That's the problem with conspiracy theories like this: they assume sneakery and dastardliness, but at the same time assume that the supposed perpetrators are SO damn stupid that they would have a Democratic senator's son be the hacker on his OWN computer in his OWN home, thereby providing a perfectly traceable electronic trail. All with, presumably, the ultimate goal of then giving this info to the Obama camp.

When you think about it, it is about the most bungled, inept attempt you can imagine, yet you want to think that it's those underhanded, guileful Dems at it again! Either they're smart and sneaky or dumb and buhgling. When you try to have it both ways, it's YOU that sound like a raving conspiracy theorist with too much time on his hands. But, hey, whatever works for ya.

Go Obamccain!

Not one president has ever used email as a means of communication. McCain has limitrd use of his jands from the POW excperience; however, he dictates to his wife when he does use email and she dopes all the typing.

As to Palin's email account being hacked, we all know that is illegal. So, if this young guy did it, just do the investigation and let the justice system takes its course.

I'm the sameage as McCain and I am also retired from military service. I still run e mile in less than 7 minutes and my workout tires out 30 somethings, Fortunately, my military training was with airborne and ranger units and I was always extremely fit and did not have to suffer the torture of years in a POW camp.

As to Palin's monination, lots of crap out there that just isn't true and has been proven for what it is - dirty politics.

A closing note: If any of you democrat 30 somethings want to take me on in any physical or mental endeavor, I stand ready to embarass you.

Security Question

If the candidate for a heart beat away from the presidency cannot secure her own email, how adept would she be at handling our national security?

Is this an apples & oranges comparison?

Maybe, but security is security and this candidate is being touted as the most experienced candidate at managing something.

Gwen Moore's son in '04, this leftist scumbag now. Democrats and their spawn behaving dishonorably isn't a new phenomenon.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!

This just goes to show how out of joint the republican ticket is when it comes to basic internet security. It is likely her original password was love, sex, god or money. McCain can't even send an e-mail, so how is he supposed to be able to understand and navigate today's wired world. What would he have done if the report had been an email entitled "Bin Ladin to Attack on US soil." Would he be too caught up sending aid to Nigeria because their corrupt government wouldn't allow his business partner to claim the $16m USD that they stole during some revolution or another. (IOW, a 409 scam).

Walls of communication formed by prejudice or even language are breaking down, people are expanding their horizons and their knowledge by connecting. If you say there are 500k white elephants in Africa, by George, you'd better be sure you're right. Furthermore, technology has brought many to a new understanding. We are able to fight oppression and petition for a redress of grievances like never before. If there's a bill that legislates morality or infringes on civil rights, it's not going to just sneak past any more. Watchdog groups can communicate in ways McCain's generation never would have thought possible.

Just my $2 (Adjusted for Inflation)

hacking of Sarah Palin's Yahoo E-mail

The young man should be investigated. If he did what was reported, he should be prosecuted and if guilty, be sentenced to a maximun jail sentence.
