San Francisco - Anonymous hackers penetrated the private email account of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and Wednesday posted screen shots of the account on the internet.
The intrusion came amid growing reports that Palin used her private email account to conduct official business in an effort to avoid public scrutiny.
It was strongly condemned by the McCain-Palin campaign as a 'shocking invasion of privacy' and both the FBI and Secret Service launched investigations into the incident.
'This is a shocking invasion of the Governor's privacy and a violation of law,' the Republican campaign said in a statement. 'The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these emails will destroy them. We will have no further comment.'
The cache of stolen data contains five screenshots from Palin's Yahoo account, including the text of an email exchange with Alaska Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell about his campaign for Congress.
Another screenshot shows Palin's inbox and a third shows the text of an email from Amy McCorkell, whom Palin appointed to the Governor's Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse in 2007.
Palin came under fire for using the Yahoo account gov.palin - which was hacked - and a second one, gov.sarah, for official business.
Both accounts were closed within hours of the leak becoming public.

The financial crisis that we are in started at Fannie Mae. Take a look at this video:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0
Fannie mae bought and paid for Barack Obama. The financial crisis that we are in started in the bad loans given out by Fannie Mae and cascaded through Countrywide to the mess you read about in the papers today.
Oh my god ,reading the 2 posts from the republican internet task force we now are made aware that Obama is a hacker and also the cause of the ruin of Fanny Mae .Who would have thought ?
I presume this kind of posts is meant to be absorbed by the most primitive idiots,or else it is made by similar minds .Hopefully after the elections this kind of smear campaigns will be abandoned for a while .There is only one way out:educate yourselves and discuss the issues that really affect your libes:education,health care,the economy,global warming .May I draw the attentin of the voters to these issues,unfortunately avoided by the GOP because they prefer to wage a celebrity campaign without any real content.
New York Times '...Governor Palin hired at least five schoolmates for official positions at salaries that far exceeded their private sector wages.
One of these, a former real estate agent, was made director of the State Division of Agriculture after citing her childhood love of cows as a qualification for the job...'
Ya gotta love this woman !!!
... the far right wing keeps repeating the false accusations anyway.
I guess that's easier for them than 'trying' to explain that John McCain really meant 'the US worker' when he said 'the US economy's fundamentals are strong' ...
... as we watch one major financial institution after another go in the tank.
They immediately say it's Obama's campaign that did this.
Bunk!
They have nothing to back up their claims, but they go 'right' ahead and post their smear, because that's what liars do.
So here they are, trying to convince others it's true ... even if it's not.
And you guys want us to take you seriously?
...completely predictable.
... Too funny.
The Republicans are the ones spreading the lie and false accusation against Obama, and SP4 comes back with his 'pre-dicked-able' slam on the liberals.
Yes, SP4, you are the one who's 'pre-dicked-able'
Obama being a liar, anti-patriotic, a racist, and not qualified because of lack of any kind of experience, are all true. He would make a fine president.
... prove my point.
They love to spread make-believe lies, and criticize the left as liars while doing it.
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have taught you well.
after all, who were these hackers invading her privacy...Republicans?
Fact is, Obama has had less vetting in the press than any other previous presidential candidate, precisely because the libnazi drive-by media is acting as a quasi-PR outlet for Obama. Then, they have the audacity to suggest Palin is unqualifed to be VP because of her family, her service as Mayor, her service on the energy commission in AK, and her service as Governor, while the dem PRESIDENTIAL candidate has less experience than she does, at any of these things.
This is why they wish to catch her having sex with a goat, or something: they think they need this to win.
SP4, You have nothing to back up your ass-umption.
Nothing.
And even when called on it, you continue to claim your lie to be true.
You are the worst kind of liar.
You get caught in your lie, then continue to assert that you are correct.
You have ZERO credibility SP4 ... ZERO.
And quit yer bitchin' about your candidate being checked out by the press ... that's what happens to new candidates ya know. Do you want her to have special protection because she's a woman? Ridiculous.
Pre-dicked-ably, You conveniently forget the months and months of character assasination from the right-wing media on Obama -schools he went to - his middle name - was he even born in the US - etc, etc.
SP4 stop playing the victim ... you have no credibility on that ... and it makes you look weak.
We've got to be talking about two different Obamas. The one I was referring to is the Dem's choice for president. He's the one who listened to a Black African American preacher chastise White people as White Devils for almost 20 years and therein remains totally dedicated to Africa, the cradle of civilization. The one who lies in print as well as to your face. Which one were you referring to?
'Oh my god ,reading the 2 posts from the republican internet task force we now are made aware that Obama is a hacker and also the cause of the ruin of Fanny Mae .Who would have thought ?'
Well you can't read English as well as write it you stupid monkey.
... are all over this forum.
Around this time, they usually post comments complaining about the 'hate-filled attacks from the left'
As if they don't? Ha ha ha
Guess they were skipping class the day the teacher explained what a hypocrite is.
Why hasn’t Obama denounced this illegal, unethical behavior?
'

Hate away, just try not to be so goddamned stupid while you are at it.
Uh gee I dunno ... maybe because someone else did it?
Why ? ... Do you need someone to tell you it's wrong, before you know it's wrong?
More fun,now another member from the GOP internet task force claims Obama is guilty of racism because a preacher in a church he attended once did .Never mind if he disagrees with those views .He is declared guily by the GOP internet task force because they simply found nothing better to say.The trick here is to repeat false accusations 'ad nauseam ' ,which means until the readers are completely disgusted .Somehow the person smeared loses appeal because of the sayin 'there is no smoke without fire ' .This is the basis for all smear campaigns waged by the GOP.Tose posts emanate not from isolated individual .They are the combine effort from the dirty trick department of the GOP.Hopefully this sort of nonsenses will backire one day and people will start to discuss the real political issues.Some of those are jeopardising your future and even the future of your children,like global warming .Most of you willremember the revolting smear campaign that was launched against Al Gore by the GOP and the oil lobby.Smear upon smear was poured over one of your most distinguished politicians,one of the only ones to dedicate his life to this most urgent problem .He got the nobel prize for that,but not from the right wing politicians or the conservative media .Now guess what:he is right all the way and precious time has been lost .There is no way of undoing the damage to our planet anymore,all we can do is remdiate to the worst side effects ,at great cost .
Yesterday Rush Limbaugh played 'Barack the Magic Negro' (to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon) ... it was full of stereotype slander on race.
Rush then went on a 20 minute rant saying the left was wrongfully accusing him of interjecting race into the election.
With that Rush has once again, gone beyond the pale (pun intended)
And I personally heard it ... it's not a rumor, it's true.
Limbaugh plays that every week, bonehead. If you'd bother to listen to it, it's satire. The story line is about how Chuck rangell and other black polticians picked on Obama for not being 'black' enough i.e. buying into the culture-of-grievence black culture that has benefitted guys like Jackson and Rangell for decades.
Boy, were they ever wrong!
Obama is where he is exactly because of his race. He was, undeniably, picked for it. If he were white, they'd pick him clean for lack of experience, but with Dem Equal Opportunity (does not apply to women!)
Obama benefits from race norming and is now poised to run the United States!
You have to hand it to the dems: they really believe in equal opportunity!...or picking a ne(gro)ophyte clean when he gets in...?
Rush Limbaugh plays that blatantly racial based song ...
... and you have the nerve to try and say he isn't making race an issue?
Hell SP4, YOU even make it clear in your posts that race is an issue in your view of Obama.
No SP4 ... You're not worth having a conversation on the morals of non-racism ... you've made it clear race is an issue for you.
'Re; 'Why hasn’t Obama denounced...
Uh gee I dunno ... maybe because someone else did it?'
It is looking like it was hacked out of Chicago. Guess where the Obama campaign is based out of?
'Why ? ... Do you need someone to tell you it's wrong, before you know it's wrong?'
No, I am not a leftist. I know it is wrong to take kickbacks from tony Rezko, Fannie mae and freddie mac and hire lobbiests from countrywide to run my campaign.
I guess Obama doesn't know these things or that it isn't OK to post your opponents children's private pictures, phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
'Never mind if he disagrees with those views '
He attended that racist preachers church for 20 years you snotty, effeminate, european.
'The trick here is to repeat false accusations 'ad nauseam ''
So it is untrue that he attended the racist church for 20 years? That he had the racist preacher baptize his kids? That he had the bigoted, America hating, ranting son of a bit*h marry him? It isn't true that he named his book after a sermon from the nasty, white hating little creep?
It is all true, he just 'Renounced' him when it got politically costly.
No tonny, you are full of crap. You only see what you want to see.
'There is no way of undoing the damage to our planet anymore,all we can do is remdiate to the worst side effects ,at great cost .'
Go live in a cave. Better yet, if you want to reduce your carbon foot print stop breathing.
It's about worms like you attaching the label racist to accomplish your goals. This is because you are frightened of words, and we are not. It's about black-on-black racism. Ask Clarence Thomas, he'll explain it to you.
It used to work for liberals until one minute after they ushered the little woman with 18 million votes out the door, for a guy who got fewer votes than Palin did as Mayor, and the GOP ushered the pit bull with lipstick in. Then they trumped up this boy-king neophyte with less experience than Palin. This is a man who has done exactly squat, but we are to believe he will usher in the new leadership. Why?
Becuase he's black. There is no other reason. He'd never have gotten the support of the libnazi drive-by media if he were white...just ask Edwards...or even Clinton. The press is in 1960 again,running a propped up eastern liberal figurehead with a pretty wife, against a self-made man. Perhaps they can call it Chamelot..or perhaps Uncle Tom's Cabin....you pick...
Besides, who's Limbaugh? Why is what he has to say so important? He's not a politician. Rush has said the same thing for the last 20 years. In facg, once you've heard Limbaugh, or the others, you pretty much know what they have to say.
Of course, none of that makes Limbaugh wrong, either...study that and get back to us. So go back and formulate an answer to this all. I'd love to hear it.
And has this preacher been pronouncing these so called racist comments for twenty years ?And what exactly are these comments,in context please. Other people will notice how again you are using smear by insinuating that Obama has been listening for a long period to racist preachings as you are overrating the extend of the so called time period from one occasional potential event into a twenty year time period.Yet another trick learned from doctor Goebbels .Notice again how the GOP posters mix insults with mudslinging .And of course blow everything out of proportion when Obama is concerned but will invariably reduce the crimes of Bush like going on a war based on outright lies and sacrificing the lives of ten thousands of innocent people for the sake of the oil tycoons as a mere trifle not worth mentioning .Propaganda has caused these poor people to be alienated from reality beyond immediate redemption.So sorry about that,umlike in the case of brainwashed people lured into sects it will take time to deprogram those people and get them in tune with reality .
What I will retain from all this is that preachers are not to be trusted and are just fallable like everybody else.Surely your comments suggest the same....
You can't weasel out of your own words SP4.
YOUR comments posted on M&C ... and Rush Limbaugh playing 'Barack the Magic Negro' ... is not black-on-black racism.
Are you black?
Is Rush black?
Your argument is laughably stupid.
Barack is where he is because of his ideas.
But you SP4, only see his color, so for you, there can be no other reason than color for him to be there.
Weasel all you want ... you've exposed yourself (and this time it wasn't on a city bus).
'And has this preacher been pronouncing these so called racist comments for twenty years'
'So called'? The answer is yes, you ignorant euro-turd.
'And what exactly are these comments'
Tip of the iceberg:

'Notice again how the GOP posters mix insults with mudslinging'
Insults?
Having seen ignorant european leftists/ socialists/ communists/ cowards/ appeasers/ parasites like you up close up close you should know that I loathe people like you. I think you are a rotten little pompous leech from a stagnating, decadent, hypocritical, do-nothing society who needs to fix his own mess before you would presume to lecture us on how we should address ours. In short, you are not a man and treating you as such is a waste of time and disingenuous.
Anything else?
Tonny writes 'Notice again how the GOP posters mix insults with mudslinging'
Then the above poster responds with ' ... ignorant european leftists/ socialists/ communists/ cowards/ appeasers/ parasites like you ...' and 'I think you are a rotten little pompous leech from a stagnating, decadent, hypocritical, do-nothing society'
Too funny ... he proceeds to do exactly what Tonny accuses him of doing ... and thinks it helps his argument?
Now that's comedy.
Indeed and on top of that he still tries to make people believe Obama spends his life or at least twenty years of that listening to the presumed ranting of a preacher,without of course any evidence.Some people think that repeating their slander adds new arguments .Why not throw in Rezko and the so called chinese shady figures behind the Obama campaign.A nice touch o paranoia is never lost to the alienated brain,right SP4 ;allow me to quote you...now all this doesn't make me wrong (huh ? Did I say that ?)
'Too funny ... he proceeds to do exactly what Tonny accuses him of doing ...'
I addressed it. To not be insulting would be disingenuous. Now let me not be disingenuous with you as well: Learn how to read the response before you make an ass out of yourself commenting on it you idiot.
'Now that's comedy.'
Yes, fools laugh at what they don't understand.
'Indeed and on top of that he still tries to make people believe Obama spends his life or at least twenty years of that listening to the presumed ranting of a preacher,without of course any evidence.'
Moron, he said as much. Again, the evidence is that he was married by this preacher, he had his kids baptized by this preacher, he titled his book using a sermon from this preacher and he he gave a speach telling us that he could not renounce this preacher after it was clear what he had said. Since you are ignorant of these details perhaps you should rethink lecturing us about our society lest you be ignorant about everything else.
'Why not throw in Rezko '
Why not, Obama admitted helping him to get tax payer money that he stole.
'right SP4'
I am not SP4. Again, something else you are ignorant about.
No SP4 is not smart enough to lie this good. This is the liar of the board, he must work for the RNC. Keep up posting all you like, your posts are right-on most of the time even thought you do not live here. The neo-cons on the board just hate the truth, and they hate Europeans just because you are Europeans.
More un-important information about an un-important individual who has had their 15 minutes.
to win this election, including changing his story from 'I will role back the Bush tax cuts' to 'Only the top 5% will see an income tax increase', just because it gets him more votes.
Why do you think all the TV financial people are saying in a couple months, things are going to change? Because they are selling Obama and he is going to kill us on taxes, to pay for all the handouts to the banks and corporations that are happening right now.
on this thread is Negro. Not saying that's good; not saying that's bad, just saying there's a Negro here and that's all y'all.
'No SP4 is not smart enough to lie this good.'
Where have I lied?
'This is the liar of the board, he must work for the RNC.'
Nope. Being the infant of the board you must not work.
'The neo-cons on the board just hate the truth,'
I am not a 'neo-con' either.
'and they hate Europeans just because you are Europeans.'
I rather like some europeans. Seeing as I am the 4th generation in my family to be dragged off to fight in europe though, and seeing as I have been sneered at for the trouble when I have been quite literally visiting some of their graves by arrested adolescent trotskyite pussies like tonny I reserve the right to treat idiots like him with the contempt that they deserve.
smokeanother one, EssPee. Your rambling rants are getting too ludicrous too believe. Drag your arse off to rehab.
A little projection with idiot part don't you think? Oh I forgot you don't think you just whine.
'I rather like some europeans.

Lots here to deal with but I will try.
You don't like anyone European or otherwise and especially yourself.
'Dragged off', I thought you volunteered? No wonder you feel like you are owed something, you were 'dragged off'.
'Sneered at'? You really need help, if they actually sneered at anyone you would not be important enough to garner their sneering. You really are nuts. Claim you are proud to do what you claim you have done, and then complain about someone that actually thinks differently than you do. You really need to move somewhere other than a democracy, a democracy allows others to disagree with you.
Idiot!
'A little projection with idiot part don't you think?'
No I don't. Who invited you to chyme in?
'You don't like anyone European or otherwise and especially yourself.'
And you know this because you can read my mind. You should use that great talent for something more purposeful like getting a life.
''Dragged off', I thought you volunteered? '
I got yanked out of grad school.
''Sneered at'? You really need help, if they actually sneered at anyone you would not be important enough to garner their sneering. '
You are grasping at straws there. Lame retort, even for you.
'Claim you are proud to do what you claim you have done, and then complain about someone that actually thinks differently than you do.'
Please cite where I made those 'claims' and no, not 'thinks differently'; regurgitates the nonsense that he believes because in believing it he can indulge in his own prejudices and mental masturbation. No wonder you empathize with him.
'You really need to move somewhere other than a democracy'
If it weren't for people like me neither of you would live in a democracy.
' a democracy allows others to disagree with you.'
Sure, but it doesn't mean that people have to agree with you. It doesn't mean they have to keep quiet if you say something that is wrong. It doesn't mean they wont point out to you when you are being an idiot. Indeed, that is at the heart of a republic and a democracy. So stop being such a crybaby and learn to defend the 'ideas' you have or learn to examine them if you keep getting laughed at when you toss those ideas out. That might require extracting your cranium from your colon but you wont come across as such whiner for not being able to defend your assertions from contrary evidence.
Heh, should read @the idiot crybaby.
And it is the son of Tennessee state representative Democrat Mike Kernell Democrat member of the Tennessee House of Representatives and a major supporter of Obama.
Surprise surprise.
Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal e-mail account, the newspaper reported on its Web site this afternoon.
The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation Wednesday into the hacking, according to the Associated Press.
He got the information from the file on Palin the Democrats improperly released that contained much of her personal information including most of her Social Security number and her old e-mail addresses.
Well done obamatards, you have shown again that you will break any law to get power.
Hacking Palin's computer has simply re-confirmed the ignorance she wields - absolutely no knowledge of the World outside america, having visited only Canada and Mexico.
But for McCain - hacking isn't needed. On a Spanish TV interview he reveals that he thinks Spain is in South America !!
Could any intelligent person vote for people displaying such ignorance ?
Oh, Yes - of course people can. They're called Republicans and they believe the Earth was formed 6000 years ago, that the answer to everything lies in the bible or waving a gun, and anywhere outside america needs to be invaded and shot at.
At least when the ship is sinking, the rats have the decency to leave. It appears the Republican vermin want to stay on and knock further holes in the hull
... were saying it was Obama's campaign that hacked her e-mail.
They didn't care that there was no proof to back up their accusation ...
... they had the taste of smear on their lips and wanted more.
Now we find out a state reps son is being questioned ... but they still haven't announced any charges on anyone.
And all of those Republicans who accused Obama, DO NOTHING to say their accusations towards him were wrong.
Where's your Accountability for your false accusations guys?
Typical Republican smear and run.
Never tell me about your 'principles' again. You have none.
Rove...he suggested this woman, McCain got her and in two weeks she turned this whole thing upside down. The GOP counted on e mail raids, personal attacks, Hollywierdos like Chevey Chase, Oprah, libnazi inquisitors digging into her life, etc., the libnazi press hacking her to death and the sheeplike automatons on the left did exactly what was expected. She must be laughing hysterically. After all, she wins, either way.
Cow tipping is next.
McCain's camp thought they could paint her as someone against earmarks and a true conservative.
They thought they could paint her true record as something other than it is.
The fact is as mayor she hired lobbyists to pursue earmarks in DC, she raised Wasilla's sales tax by 25%, she supported and campaigned FOR the 'bridge to no where' (video of that is readily available on the net), and as mayor she left a city that previously had no debt, millions of dollars in debt and in legal battles over land title (that they eventually lost).
Now to top it off, Palin, her husband, and her staff are following the Bush example of refusing subpeonas issued by a bipartisan commision.
She's becoming known for what she is ... and it ain't pretty.
What was at first a help to McCain, is quickly becoming a liability.
McCain's camp thought they could paint her as someone against earmarks and a true conservative.
sp4 - and her record shows she cut expenditures for such items past the previous office holders numbers, and by any standard, she fits the profile of a conservative, which is enegizing the repub base.
They thought they could paint her true record as something other than it is.
The fact is as mayor she hired lobbyists to pursue earmarks in DC,
sp4 - a condition dictated by the legal landscape of D.C. (if you want any of your states tax revenue to come back to you,) and not the Governor of Alaska. Earmarks are the responsibility of the Congress, not the Governor of Alaska. Just ask Ron Paul about Earmarks and get back to us.
she raised Wasilla's sales tax by 25%,
sp4 - you dems should be jerking off then, right? Then again, the definition of a liberal is that they are never happy.
she supported and campaigned FOR the 'bridge to no where' (video of that is readily available on the net),
sp4 - perhaps but she regained her perspective. Besides, why not have the bridge? look what our $$ IS going to!
and as mayor she left a city that previously had no debt, millions of dollars in debt and in legal battles over land title (that they eventually lost).
sp4 - she does not walk away from a fight. I like that.
Now to top it off, Palin, her husband, and her staff are following the Bush example of refusing subpeonas issued by a bipartisan commision.
sp4 - the legal contention being that the legislature of AK has no legitimate subpoena power. I wouldn't either. Whats next, cow tipping? Dems make up law as they go along, just like their judges.
She's becoming known for what she is ... and it ain't pretty.
sp4 - Curious, because she defends her record just fine, so worms like your libnazi congressmens psycho kids, are forced into rummaging through her e mail as fast as they can to find that magic slime to slime her with.
What was at first a help to McCain, is quickly becoming a liability.
sp4 - In the end, McCain has to ask for his mandate and if he does not, no woman short of the Blessed Virgin, can help him.
We never do well with guys like McCain anyway. The fact that the dems are just sh-tting themselves over this Governor, while republicans are more in love with her politics than her persona, just grates the libnazi elite to no end. But then, that is what the liberal elite does.
No, as a republican, I'm happy just to see the campaign I want to see, and let the chips fall.
... but the facts posted about Palin's record remain true.
She raised taxes, sought earmarks, and left Wasilla with millions in debt and a legal battle they eventually lost.
Hardly the way she describes her record to be.
And none of SP4s endless dribble can change those facts.
'And all of those Republicans who accused Obama, DO NOTHING to say their accusations towards him were wrong.'
No one thought Obama personally hacked her e-mail. He isn't that smart. It was someone doing it to help his campaign though, obviously. The accusations have been proven 100% correct. This is from the first positing on the thread:
'The... stuff that was stolen in order to aid Obama by whatever means necessary was photos of her family, her daughters phone number, details about her children... All posted on the internet by some scumbag. Considering that she has already had threats on her children's lives this shows that there is no bottom for these pigs to sink to in order to help the candidate that best reflects their values: Barack Obama.'
Absolutely correct.
'Where's your Accountability for your false accusations guys?
Typical Republican smear and run.
Never tell me about your 'principles' again. You have none.'
Spare us the phony indignation. The son of a Democrat member of the Tennessee House of Representatives and a major supporter of Obama hacks in to the personal e-mail account of the republican candidate for vice president and you seem to think you are owed an apology? It just shows how out of touch you are.

Palin Hacker is Democrat Legislators Son
According to the Tennessean The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kernell confirmed on Thursday.
Report: UT student 'contacted' in Palin hacking case Here's the two versions of the Tennessean report, copied and pasted.
UPDATE: The Tennessean has changed the lede: State Rep. Mike Kernell confirmed Thursday that his son, a University of Tennessee-Knoxville student, is at the center of heated Internet discussion into the hacking of the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin's personal email account.
The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation on Wednesday into the hacking.
... wrong!
But you'll never admit it.
Instead you'll jump straight into another attempt at smearing Obama because of 'something someone else did.'
Because you are out to smear first ... yep, smear Obama above all else, even the truth.
You make a mockery of yourself.
... Correct!
But the lefty trolls here will never admit it.
Please jump straight into substantiating the facts re:'Obama did it'
Because the lefty troll hovering around this board is out to smear first ... yep, smear Bush/McCain above all else, even the truth.
The lefty troll makes a mockery of itself on every post.
Two minutes have gone by and the troll hasn't responded. New record!!!
... to say the accusation of Obama hacking her e-mail is correct ... esp when the evidence shows otherwise.
But you don't mind being a liar and making yourself look like a fool do you?
Smear first ... credibility later, for you eh?
(re: trolls ... so what are you when you follow this forum? ... what's the 'double-standard' name that you apply to yourself in that regard?)
Investigate the State Rep. Mike Kernell!!! Did Obama sanction the hit? Did Pelosi authorize the action? Did Reid pay for it?
The 20-year-old son of a Democratic state lawmaker in Tennessee was being cited on the Internet yesterday as a suspect in the hacking of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's e-mail.
State Rep. Mike Kernell told The Tennesseean newspaper that his son, David Kernell, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, is the person being mentioned on blogs as the e-mail thief who bared Palin's private correspondence to the world.
Kernell said he spoke to his son yesterday, but he declined further comment about the case.
I know it looks bad but there is no proof that he did it other than father admitting his son is the subject of the theft. As bad as it looks for the Democrat party and the Kernell family remember no charges have been filed yet. I am sure the son is just a victim of circumstance and will be cleared as soon as he get a fair hearing via congress.

Democratic Rep. Mike Kernell of Tennessee has acknowledged that his 20-year son, David Kernell, is the subject of Internet postings alleging he is the person who hacked into Sarah Palin's e-mail, according to The Tennesseean.
'The person they're talking about is my son,' said Kernell. 'But we know of no investigation. I have not been contacted. He has not been contacted,' Kernell told a Memphis TV station.
are as wrong as can be. But I would think that Ms. Caribou Barbi knew everything about e-mail accounts as she can see one from Alaska. I love the fact that the first Republican't 'power woman', makes all of them look stupid. Just keep her out there, she will take care of herself.
'Nope, your accusations that 'Obama did it' are ...... wrong!'
Once again, because you are too stupid to understand something if it is only explained to you a few times. I do not think Barack Obama would know how to hack in to someone else's e-mail account. It is obvious that it was done to help him and the scumbag ho did it chose his candidate well. Ill just repeat what I wrote at the beginning:
'The... stuff that was stolen in order to aid Obama by whatever means necessary was photos of her family, her daughters phone number, details about her children... All posted on the internet by some scumbag. Considering that she has already had threats on her children's lives this shows that there is no bottom for these pigs to sink to in order to help the candidate that best reflects their values: Barack Obama.'
And:
'He got the information from the file on Palin the Democrats improperly released that contained much of her personal information including most of her Social Security number and her old e-mail addresses. Well done obamatards, you have shown again that you will break any law to get power.'
Again: The DNC improperly released enough information for this creep to do what he did.
See; I never wrote that 'Obama did it' but you have to admit, this guy attracts vermin by the bus load. Crooked bank CEO's, Tony Rezko, domestic terrorists, racist, America hating preachers, Stalinist racist wives, thieves, islamists, moonbats and spoiled rotten, idiot trust fund babies who think it might be cool to vote for someone with 143 days in the senate as president of the USA just because of his complexion.
'But I would think that Ms. Caribou Barbi knew everything about e-mail accounts as she can see one from Alaska.'
Lamest retort ever. You would be crapping yourself if someone posted Malia Sasha's personal information on the web. There have been death threats against Palins children, including the newborn from the leftist scum of the earth that you represent so well.
'I love the fact that the first Republican't 'power woman', makes all of them look stupid.'
Gee, you all look so bright, hacking in to the VP's personal e-mail account and getting caught. Hope that little demo-rat gets to be the prison librarian because he is soooo smart.
'Just keep her out there,'
OK.
think she is pretty? Sounds like the idiot that you are.
'Lamest retort ever. You would be crapping yourself if someone posted Malia Sasha's personal information on the web. There have been death threats against Palins children, including the newborn from the leftist scum of the earth that you represent so well.'
Kind of goes along with her claim to actually know something about Russia due to the fact that you can see Russia from Alaska. Or her claim to have foreign experience because she visited Ireland, when in fact that only time she was there was then the plane she was flying in lander there to get fuel? Or that she visited the troops in Iraq when the closest she came was Kuwait?
Death threats, maybe you should ask the Obama people about death threats from the KKK and the rest of your neo-con scab buddies? maybe you as you are so obsessed? It comes with the territory, but you don't hear the Obama's crying the blues.
'Gee, you all look so bright, hacking in to the VP's personal e-mail account and getting caught. Hope that little demo-rat gets to be the prison librarian because he is soooo smart.'
She was so stupid to use a public account to do business e-mails on. Stupid is the only response to that. Stupid comes up a lot when discussing Caribou Barbi. By the way they are down in the polls again today!
'The Old Man and the Shrew', not a fairy book ending.
P.S. idiot, last time I checked Malia Sasha's was not the governor of a state or not running for VP. Stupid comment from a stupid person.
'and the only support her cause you think she is pretty? Sounds like the idiot that you are.'
Funny, you can massacre a basic English language sentence and finish it off by calling someone else an idiot.
'Kind of goes along with her claim to actually know something about Russia due to the fact that you can see Russia from Alaska. '
Firstly, idiot, you can't see Russia from Alaska. Secondly, idiot, the governor of Alaska has to deal with the governments of Canada and Russia on a regular basis. Obama hasn't had to deal with any foreign leaders in his role in the senate. The only thing he has done is ask the Iraqis to keep American troops in Iraq LONGER then necessary because he wants the credit for removing then if, god forbid, the American public is stupid enough to elect this thieving, lying scumbag.
'Or her claim to have foreign experience because she visited Ireland'
Or his claim to have foreign experience because he was educated in an Indonesian madrassah where he recited the Koran. That makes him a muslim, not a diplomat.
'Or her claim to have foreign experience because she visited Ireland, when in fact that only time she was there was then the plane she was flying in lander there to get fuel? '
Where did she claim that gave her foreign experience? I couldn't find any links to that effect so it must be a lie.
'maybe you should ask the Obama people about death threats from the KKK and the rest of your neo-con scab buddies? '
I am not a neocon and they as well as the KKK are not my buddies. You will notice that Republicans have not released personal information on his kids or anything else that could jeopardized the Obamas, The democrats HAVE released personal information on the Palins.
'maybe you as you are so obsessed?'
I think he is a liar and a danger to the country but I do not wish him harm. I just hope he gets sent to jail for helping Rezko and Fannie/Freddie steal to enrich himself.
'It comes with the territory, but you don't hear the Obama's crying the blues.'
Again, idiot, the republicans haven't deliberately put him in danger. The republicans haven't released any photos of his kids (not that anyone would want to see them) or their phone numbers, school routines, e-mail addresses, even most of the governors social security number as the classless scumbags that represent you have. As a classless scumbag, you chose your party well.
'She was so stupid to use a public account to do business e-mails on.'
It has been proven by the hacker that she wasn't using it to do business, so that is another phony scandal down the drain.
' Stupid is the only response to that. '
Having a personal e-mail account isn't 'stupid'. Calling it 'stupid' is stupid. Breaking in to it is illegal.
'. By the way they are down in the polls again today!'
Wait for the debates when your arrogant child puts his foot in his mouth and hairplugs looks like crap.
''The Old Man and the Shrew', not a fairy book ending.'
Hey, at least she has someone. You are a shrew with no life, no brain and no prospects for getting one.
'idiot, last time I checked Malia Sasha's was not the governor of a state or not running for VP.'
Once again, moron, you beclown yourself by calling someone an idiot while you are demonstrating yourself to be one. Malia and Sasha are obamas children. No one has broken in to Obamas e-mail and posted their photos or school schedules. No one has put them in danger. It was not Palins children's e-mail that was broken in to it was hers, so your analogy makes no sense.
You truly are a classless slob and as such you have found the proper candidate to be devoted to.
McCain thinks Spain is in South America - LOL said this was a lie
From Spanish sources and Los Angeles Times -
The Spanish press -- in Spain, on the Iberian Peninsula, east of Portugal and south of France -- is having a field day over a Cadena SER radio interview in which the senator seems to confuse Spain's prime minister with a strongman in Latin America.
In the beginning of the interview, McCain discusses how he would not sit down with presidents Hugo Chavez of Venezuela or Evo Morales of Bolivia and certainly not with Raul Castro. Standard fare. The interviewer then says, 'Let's shift to Spain, would you invite President [Jose Luis Rodriguez] Zapatero to meet with you in the White House?' This is a big deal for Spaniards; Zapatero never received such an invitation from President George Bush. At first McCcain gives a vague answer about how he'll work with anyone who cooperates withe U.S. but is determined to stand firm against our enemies. When pressed again, he makes no promises but notes 'the importance of 'our relationship with Latin America.'
Perplexed, the interview blurts out 'But I'm talking about Europe. About Spain!' Even then, McCain indeed does stand firm. He never giving a clue that he acutally knows who Zapatero is. He speaks in English and a Spanish translater is speaking over him so I'll translate back to English: He'll be friends with our friends and stand firm against those who oppose us.'
Dopesn't look like a lie to me. And why would the Spanish Press invent all this - they have no axe to grind over american squabbling over petty politicians
Give it up chumps. One of your candidates is too old and frail to know how to use a computer at all, the other is too stupid to know how to use one safely. This is the 'best' your party has to offer after stiffing the world with bush for eight years? PATHETIC
Palin is the youngest person in the campaign....
go inform yourself.
You are missing the obvious as usual, Palin is not running for President. Noah McSame is!
...the article above happens to be about Palin and her e mail robbery by the libnazi gestapo, not McCain. Try to stay on the subject at hand.
By the way, we don't discriminate over age, or gender, in the Republican Party unlike the Democrats.
Pinocchio Palin and Noah McSame? One is about the other. Both liars and both so stupid they do not know how to take care of their e-mail accounts...ooops I forgot Noah McSame invented the Blackberry...
You only like Noah McSame because he is younger than you are.
'Dopesn't[sic] look like a lie to me.'
It looks like a trumped up nonsense with a Spanish interviewer talking over what McCain was saying. Meanwhile Obama thinks that there are 57 states in the USA.

This is what the clown sounds like without a teleprompter:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDJSVPAx8xc
'And why would the Spanish Press invent all this'
Not that I think they did, but a reason that they would is that europeans want Obama as president because they know he will gladly give up American sovereignty in order to be 'liked'. What the idiot doesn't know is that he is being passively aggressively manipulated in to doing what he is told by a bunch of sneering crybabies.
The Europeans want Obama because they know Obama will weaken the USA.
'One of your candidates is too old and frail to know how to use a computer at all,'
His hands don't work because he was tortured fighting to preserve your freedom to be an ignorant pig.
'the other is too stupid to know how to use one safely.'
So because a democrat hoping to help Obama hacked in to her e-mail that makes her stupid? No, it makes the kid slime trying to help slime.
TGDaily, a tech site, explains how the suspected Palin email hacker, 20-year-old David Kernell, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and son of Democratic Tennessee state representative Mike Kernell, was caught. He used a proxy server supposed to anonymize his identity, but the owner was quite upset at being used to cover illegal activities, and was also contacted by the FBI.
It is obvious from posts the hacker made that he was fully conscious of breaking the law.
There is some suggestion that the hacker may have a loophole. Chloe Albanesius of PC Magazine writes:
Hackers obtained access to the Alaska governor's personal gov.palin@yahoo.com e-mail address this week after successfully navigating through Yahoo's password reset process. They changed the governor's password, took screen shots of the account's contents, accessed personal photographs, and sent all the data to the Wikileaks Web site.
Under the Stored Communication Act (SCA), it is illegal to access without permission a wire or electronic communication while it is in electronic storage. A 2003 case, Theofel v. Farey-Jones, ruled that electronic storage refers to e-mails that have been read, as well as those that are unopened.
So it is a federal crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, not to mention a state crime in Alaska. Maybe they will give him a room with Tony Rezko.
Boo-hoo-hoo. You fricking crybaby. You have nothing to help support your candidates (we all know he was a POW) as the party you support has completely and totally failed the citizens of the US. The only thing you can say is that McSame supported the surge, which he did, but we all have to wait to see how that works out when we finally pull our troops out. So not with nothing to help your side, you and your candidates will try an lie their way into the White House. Noah McCain and Pinnochio Pailin---what a ticket you have.
Your party, yes your party has taken a robust economy and turned it into the worst since the Great Depression. Now do the usual and come back at me with more lies. You and your kind are a joke.
Who cares what party or what politics, just prosecute the hacker and the rest that break the law, and fight crime on every front.
idiot SP4Sep 20th, 2008 - 19:01:55
Pinocchio Palin and Noah McSame? One is about the other.
sp4 - go ahead, distinguish yourself, professor...
Both liars and both so stupid
SP4 - or perhaps they were just not libnazi - afraid of some dem libnazi brownshirted congressman's son/worm to scour their lives for that one scintilla of slime that would vault Obama to a place he cannot seem to get on his own?
they do not know how to take care of their e-mail accounts...
sp4 - oh god, they're in trouble now, eh?
ooops I forgot Noah McSame invented the Blackberry...
sp4 - he never insinuated that. You'd know this if you bothered to inform yourself. If he did, show me his quote. He never invented the Internet, either, or got a Nobel peace prize for..what exactly did Gore get it for, anyways????? Get back to us on that, we'd love to know..!
You only like Noah McSame because he is younger than you are.
SP4 - Again, you draw conclusions based on little or no facts. I guess you really are an acadamicinan, or as we say in the GOP 'full of crap'!
That response was pretty pathetic even from you.... What's wrong finally sinking in that GWB is a POS?
'@Another Obama suporter is heading to prison
Boo-hoo-hoo. You fricking crybaby'
I see you spent another Saturday night at home ranting on the internet. How does it feel to be a pathetic cow?
'You have nothing to help support your candidates '
And you know this how?
'(we all know he was a POW)'
And we all know Obama hasn't served anything other then himself.
'as the party you support has completely and totally failed the citizens of the US. '
Take a look at who stopped reform of freddie and fannie. It was your party, indeed, it was your nominee.
' The only thing you can say is that McSame supported the surge, which he did, '
And your dangerous, incompetent, criminal puppet opposed it because he was fine with the US losing a war if it made him look better.
'but we all have to wait to see how that works out when we finally pull our troops out.'
Well, since Obama was caught breaking the law lobbying to keep our troops IN with the Iraqis you might have a long wait.
'Your party, yes your party has taken a robust economy and turned it into the worst since the Great Depression. '
Add the economy in a historical context to the subjects that you are illiterate about.
'Now do the usual and come back at me with more lies. '
Where is the lie? You pathetic parrot.
'I see you spent another Saturday night at home ranting on the internet. How does it feel to be a pathetic cow? '
So ignorant your only retort insults and blather. What does either have to do with your crybaby rants?
'And you know this how?'
Because your stupidity in thinking that posting half-truths is somehow helping. Hey idiot take a hint, no one is listening to you, only making fun of your Ann Coulter, Washington Post crap.
'And we all know Obama hasn't served anything other then himself.'
Hey did you know John McSame was a POW?
'Take a look at who stopped reform of freddie and fannie. It was your party, indeed, it was your nominee. '
He was there 18 months (as you have pointed out numerous times). This problem was not created in the last 18 months stupid. Try the 6 years before that!
'And your dangerous, incompetent, criminal puppet opposed it because he was fine with the US losing a war if it made him look better.'
Boo-hoo-hoo, crybaby. Half truths as usual.
'Well, since Obama was caught breaking the law lobbying to keep our troops IN with the Iraqis you might have a long wait.'
Liar, show me positive proof exactly this, Not an article from a right-wing rag please, something from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, that states this exactly.
'Add the economy in a historical context to the subjects that you are illiterate about.'
Not much of a response, in fact pretty stupid response.
'Where is the lie? You pathetic parrot.'
I have pointed them our in all of your posts and in this one. Show me you are not a liar, neo-con!
P.S. What happened to the Pinocchio bounce?
RCP Average 09/09 - 09/20 -- 47.6 45.4 Obama +2.2
'So ignorant your only retort insults and blather.'
Not English, you idiot.
'What does either have to do with your crybaby rants?'
Either of what? That you stayed home on a Saturday night whining on the internet or that you are a pathetic cow?
'Because your stupidity in thinking that posting half-truths is somehow helping.'
Whole truths and it has.
'Hey idiot take a hint, no one is listening to you, only making fun of your Ann Coulter, Washington Post crap.'
You seem to be hanging on my every post. Then again, you have no life.
'Hey did you know John McSame was a POW? '
Yes, you have mocked that fact before. He had both legs and both arms broken. He was stabbed. He had both shoulders dislocated repeatedly. He had his teeth kicked out. He was repeatedly hit with a rifle butt in the stomach. He endured that kind of treatment and more for 5 and a half years because he stuck with the code of honor. So laugh it up. It is yet another demonstration of your repulsive ignorance and your complete lack of gratitude, class and basic human decency. No wonder you have gravitated to the candidate that best reflects your narcissism...
'He was there 18 months (as you have pointed out numerous times)'
Yet he got the second highest amount of money from freddie and fannie. Imagine that! He also got the HIGHEST amount from Countrywide! Imagine that! His staff is full of executives from both companies, as well as the rest of the list of investment firms and failed banks that now have their hands out. Imagine that! ??? What a coincidence that he is running for president???? Gee, What are the odds that this puppet of Soros and the the democratic cooperate thieves was chosen to run and lavished with so much cash??? Even considering his vacant resume. You post it yet you wont allow yourself to see the obvious connection. Obama was chosen because he will play ball with these pigs. And you, you stupid, stupid spoiled little insecure girl... You want this tool of the kleptocracy elected because he is black and you are afraid to think for yourself because someone might call you a racist.
'This problem was not created in the last 18 months stupid.'
No, it has it's roots in the Clinton administration. It is VERIFIABLE that McCain analyzed the root causes of the problem correctly and twice tried to pass reform to avert what has happened. The democrats stopped it. Even Bush tried to reform Freddie and Fanny. You know things are out of hand if the Bush administration was pushing for regulation.
'Boo-hoo-hoo, crybaby. Half truths as usual.'
No full truths, idiot.
'Liar, show me positive proof exactly this,'
Again, they ADMITTED IT. Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi confirmed that he had told then not to go forward with the Strategic Framework Agreement until the current president left office, deliberately undermining US troop withdrawals.
The Obama campaign spent more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York Post report that quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying that Barack Obama during his July visit to Baghdad demanded that Iraq not negotiate with the Bush Administration on the withdrawal of American troops. Instead, he asked that they delay such negotiations until after the presidential handover at the end of January.
The three problems, according to campaign sources: The report was true, there were at least three other people in the room with Obama and Zebari to confirm the conversation, and there was concern that there were enough aggressive reporters based in Baghdad with the sources to confirm the conversation that to deny the comments would create a bigger problem.
Instead, Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi told reporters that Obama told the Iraqis that they should not rush through what she termed a 'Strategic Framework Agreement' governing the future of U.S. forces until after President Bush left office. In other words, the Iraqis should not negotiate an American troop withdrawal.
'Not much of a response, in fact pretty stupid response.'
It is the truth, during the great depression there were people starving and the unemployment rate was over 25%. You are just an ignorant fool.
'
I have pointed them our in all of your posts and in this one.'
No you haven't. What specifically is a lie. I know there wont be an honest answer to this because YOU are a liar.
'RCP Average 09/09 - 09/20 -- 47.6 45.4 Obama +2.2'
We have the debates and more shoes to drop. Don't count on the collapse of the USA yet.
If your ignorant child does get in you are going to see a backlash that makes Bush derangement syndrome look like an evening with Mr.Rodgers. You will sincerely regret the day you heard the name Obama.
After we sift out all the trash talk on this expanded subject, perhaps, we can conclude that we must rid this country of the crime wave that threatens to make the quality of life in America a living, who can you trust hell.

Well done Obama campaign.Sep 18th, 2008 - 06:17:07
'The intrusion came amid growing reports that Palin used her private email account to conduct official business in an effort to avoid public scrutiny'
Again, that would be the Obama talking points that M&C dutifully passes along but when you read the text of what has been stolen from her it is just her complaining to her lieutenant governor about how obtuse the press are. Your slant on it confirms what she was saying.
The other stuff that was stolen in order to aid Obama by whatever means necessary was photos of her family, her daughters phone number, details about her children... All posted on the internet by some scumbag. Considering that she has already had threats on her children's lives this shows that there is no bottom for these pigs to sink to in order to help the candidate that best reflects their values: Barack Obama.
