Well see, the difference is it's not Assange, but his insane supporters/hackers, who are out to get anyone, any business that refuses to deal with assange or criticizes him in any way.

These hackers are furious with the notion that wikileaks is under attack for free speech, and yet they then attack Palin for her exercising free speech. That's how it is with the radical Left - free speech for me but not for thee.

She did it to herself with her grandstanding as usual.

Could one of your right wing whiners give us an example where you said the cyber attacks on wikileaks website was an affront to free speech?

If you could, that might give you some credibility.

So now she is not allowed to voice her opinion? Why didn't the same happen to Feinstein, who said he should be prosecuted or the other "pundits" who say he should be arrested for espionage? I don't see attacks on them.

"that 1,500 people were on online forums and chatrooms including Anonops.net, mounting mass and repeated 'denial of service' attacks on sites that have moved against Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks in recent days."

Moved against - meaning to shut wikileaks down in whatever way possible.

Anonymous explains that Operation Payback is "an ongoing campaign by Anonymous against major anti-piracy & anti-freedom entities."

I imagine anti-freedom might mean freedom of speech, among others. Like the ability of wikileaks to receive paypal donations.

Extra-judicial assassination is a crime. Incitement to criminal activity is not protected speech.

Well then, you best put obama on the list for his intention to assassination a US citizen. If he can advocate assassination with no repercussions, I imagine others might think it ok to do the same to a person that is engaged in a campaign of attacking/leaking/damaging our FP and credibility.

Obama set the precedent, don't cry when others follow his lead.

I wouldn't worry much about Todd and Sarah, sanrene. She's probably just trying to attract attention to her facebook page, which links to her donation page for her PAC. I imagine that donations are down this time of year and she's getting nervous, and saw an opportunity to separate some of you with your cash. Have you donated lately?

These people are nuts, but I imagine some think it is just fine and dandy to conduct their cyber war against business and individuals who have criticized and tried to stop assange.

Anonymous had vowed to take revenge on any organization that lined up against WikiLeaks.

“We fight for the same reasons,” said one. “We want transparency and we counter censorship.”

So I guess to this group of nuts, people or business that don't agree with or want to do business with wikileaks will now be a target.

Freedom for us, but not for thee?

She's raking in the cash for sure. Ahhhh, capitalism, free market, all that good kind of stuff. Beautiful, isn't it?

Amazing what some people will tolerate as far as criminal activity when the victim is a political figure they despise. Simply amazing the excuses and reasons and denials they will give to explain away their ho-hum attitude.

Why not? His and his predecessor's regimes can rot as well for all I care.

Are you upset that your diversion didn't work.
