I think the important issue is that Palin was trying to hide e-mails by using a personal account. Everything is supposed to be public information.

What about THAT? That worries me a lot.

Hell, you guys have Obama tied to the Weathermen, every muslim fundamentalist/extremist on the globe, al queda and who know who else- I'd think he could get a better hacker with all those connections, dontcha think???
He could have gotten Bill Gates, for goodness sakes!

You're talking to a conservative. Due process and other constitutional details confuse them. Try saying that slowly while twirling a flag.

terryfrank.net » Investigating David Kernell (http://terryfrank.net/?p=3591 - broken link)

Could be a connection between the hacker and Obama's campaign manager Plouffe.

Democrats had nothing to do with the hacking. It was a lucky shot by a person who went to 4chan. Anon did the hacking, not democrats. There was nothing political about it.

Hacking is a crime and should be handled like that...does any of these Dem. want their kids or parents or any family member provacy wanted to be taken and publiced?

Even if it was stupid that her account was easy to get in, that isn't an excuse....for the mainstream media not to mention this in their program but to mention a guy falling through the roof of a pharmacy.....is just showing what a bad journalist they are and how biased....IMO they are losing all credibility....and just as Oprah, MSNBC I will watch them less and less, and hopefully others will do the same, unless they will be fair and balanced.
In the end it will hurt them since advertisement will go to other channels who will show fair and balanced reporting.
For any one having any critisismn on Sean Hannity, there is always the annouying Allan Colmes sitting next to him.

And for any one who wants to call me biased...I'm jewish and not behind Alan Colmes, Barbra Streisand, etc... just because we have the same religion.....no I listen to what people have to say and make my own judgment....and I know from experience in a very liberal country that raising taxes = less jobs! So for me Nobama!

However, yet again, there's no bias to report here. This was not done by any political party, for any political reason. The aftermath (as in, what was in her email), was simply coincidence. Some /b/tard just hacked into her email, and they found out all that info. Another /b/tard hacked and changed the password before they could do any further damage (As in, they were going to send child porn to her husband.)

What is provacy?

Anyway, when they passed that Patriot Act, the Republicans/Bushies naked power grab was made into law. You don't have any privacy, and you don't even know it.

And yes, I think it will hurt Obama. Look how you guys think; that it's no big deal. Yes, it is a big deal.
You don't care about troopergate but a lot of people do. Palin is losing supporters. They are jumping off the bandwagon as quickly as they jumped on.

Secondly, why would someone unrelated to Obama hacking into Palin's email hurt him? Most people judge individuals by their own actions and words.

I don't care if the government would listen in to calls I make or read emails if they think they need to do so for this Countries security....they will be bored to death since I'm not doing anything wrong.

But for individuals who are bored to hack other peoples email, that is a crime...before the law was in place it happened to my daughter and the hacker stalked her and sxual herrassed her...We went to the police and the teenager was caught but since the alw wasn't in place, there was not much we could do....but from experience I know how scarry it is for a 12 year old girl and parents when teenagers do something like that and I'm glad there is a law in place and hope they will procecute who ever did this...that might send a message to the next person who thinks it is funny.
