Exclusive: Sarah Palin Under Cyber-Attack from Wikileaks Supporters in ‘Operation Payback’*

Funny how she wants us to go after Assange like a terrorist for doing the exact same thing any journalist would do if given these documents and then she claims others are attacking her first amendment rights. Rich!

@Leandro – Halflaska.

She lives rent-free in the minds of the lib-scum here and everywhere!! WHEN she is elected President, we will rejoice in libs performing mass-suicide!! We love seeing you hurt, libs!! :)))

yeah, this article is basically untrue. Way to fact check abc.

“This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”
—
I wonder if she realised herself the full irony of that statement?

The inverse works well:
[Operation Payback] is speaking out against a shady disreputable [person] with no regard for laws or human life. This is how [Sarah Palin] operates. The world should not be intimidated by [her].

OLD NEWS.
Long live Wikileaks.

Leandro, it is customary to refer to a former office-holder by their last or highest office, even if they did resign before their term was over.

Sad that ABC doesn’t have the technical chops to realize that this completely false. A DoS attack would never be launched from the wikileaks.org servers. And it’s highly unlikely that Palin’s technical staff would be more competent than say…PayPal or others who were unable to stop the attacks.
This story just doesn’t make any sense from the technical perspective.

Will Urquhart — “Funny how she wants us to go after Assange like a terrorist for doing the exact same thing any journalist would do if given these documents and then she claims others are attacking her first amendment rights. Rich!’– Since when is it someone’s first ammendment rights to disrupt credit card accounts.. I suppose that by your standards, identity theft is a first ammendment right as well?? Other REAL journalists WERE given those documents and chose NOT to publish them because they understood the difference between journalism and cyber terrorism..

The hatred and vitriol drips from these comments like blood. I am so sick of the bloodthirsty people who post on these sites. Anyone who supports anyone who would put their country at risk is just as much a traitor as the perpetrator. I continue to be appalled at the people that hate America where they live free and have abundant opportunities to better themselves. Sad!

wow – liberals are some of most shallow thinking people on the planet. What is it like to hate someone you don’t know?
Assange put the US National security at risk as well as real people on the ground in a war zone.
Two types of liberals
The duped and
The dupers.

Her claim on the 1st amendment is ridiculous. 1st amendment is to protect unpopular speech. And what Assange has to say is obviously all to unpopular with the War party in this country.

Most Brits are, by definition, Un-American.
And these did not come from Wikileaks, the media continues to confuse supporters of Wikileaks with the organization itself. They are not the same people.

I would hope that supposed reputable journalists wouldnt expose personal credit docs and then call it “news”
What am I saying?? Of course they would!!!

Keep flappin’ those gums, tweeting and facebooking like a depressed teenager Mrs. Alakardashian. You’re doin’ a great job of it! LOL

when you looney libs have your credit stolen it will be pure justice

poor old liberals – tax tax tax to give our money to the who? the lazy – give them your money – oh you want to keep your money – bombs kill people not the truth one idiot wrote – as the quote went “you can’t handle the truth.’ In fact you cannot handle too much of any discussion outside of attacking people who actually are a real threat to your liberal whacked out shangri la idea of reality and that is kissy bear huggy face terrorists and they will respond to a little love. DOA you will be if they have their way and wikileaks should do just that take a leak – jail for all – you love your freedom but scoff at it’s price – hell is full of such repent and believe on the Lord Jesus

This attack is to crash her site. not to steal credit card info. This is completely false.

NOTE to the Idiots!!
Stop making the internet (which is a free speech zone) a freaking Cyber War zone!!..
BIG BROTHER might have to step in then we are all screwed.
Remember that the internet was a MILITARY technology developed by DARPA.
Didn’t they teach you that in school?

HA HA @the Righties who think Wikileaks and ANON are liberals. Are you kidding me? They are Libertarians. NOT liberals.

In other words Wikileaks is telling her to sit down and shut up (like most people wish she would). Or maybe they regret wasted time they spent trying to expose her thoughts and came up with NOTHING. Maybe this TV celebrity and fake hunter will learn that what you say DOES matter and then….there are consequences. Payback is a u know what Palin! You sling poo 24/7 and it’ll come back 10 X.

The war on Wikileaks is turning an entire generation of kids into hackers. God forbid if Assange is assassinated.

I’m a bit confused about some of the comments questioning the veracity of the story. I may be seeing an edited version after the comments were posted, but many of the commenters are saying that the (presumed) DDOS attack on SarahPAC wouldn’t have anything to do with the Palin’s credit cards and that ABC doesn’t have the technical chops to know that. True, but the story I’m reading doesn’t draw a connection between the two. Why couldn’t both have happened? It would take different techniques (and likely different groups) but I could envision ways that their cards could be targeted in a separate attack.

I love that Sarah Palin is driving the libs freaking nuts….LOL
I believe that she will run and she will be the nominee. And when the time to face him comes, she will have a file on Obama so thick that she will cut him to ribbons when she debates him. Unlike her running mate in 2008, she won’t be afraid to eviscerate Obama. She will do it with relish. Get out the POPCORN!!!

As a conservative guy…..I just wish Sarah Palin would go away. Far far away…

@ Wowzers: The REALLY funny thing is that however you define them politically, everyone knows that liberals support them and would do the exact same thing if given the chance.

It’s not just the Palin’s who are affected but anyone who does business with VISA or Mastercard. These so-called “hacktivists” are targeting both firms because they backed out of supporting Wikileaks.

How do you know this? Are you part of the Criminal Group Wikileaks? If so your are Violating FEDERAL LAWS. You will be found and held accountable for your childish antics. Wikileaks and its leader Assasange is endangering lifes of countless people and Ruining Diplomatic relations with our allies that we dearly need. Just a Matter of time before they catch each and one of you that work for Wikileaks. Once they do they will fully prosecute you and charge you with Computer hacking and Abuses and Leaking classifed documents to Foreign enemies and Seceret documents. You people disgust me and I really hope Obama goes after you with the full power of the United States.

I like how they’re trying to link the activists with Wikileaks when they are only supporters and nothing really to do with it. If they can’t get him on rape charges I guess they’ll just try and turn everyone against Wikileaks, starting with the most gullible – Palin supporters.

Jake….have you fact checked this, or are we taking the half governor’s word for it?

Haahahahah
What a complete joke this article is..

This story is BULLCRAP!!! She needs to provide much more substantive proof before I would even begin to entertain her fantasy. All she is doing here is trying to ride a publicity wave (and please note… she whines again about being picked upon.)

who are the focusing on President Palin or President Obama. this woman is really powerful wow

No wonder the mainstream media is going broke. They can’t get any facts straight and they kowtow to their corporate and government masters.
The revolution will not be televised; it will be anonymized.

An Australian, in the UK, running a website out of Sweden, is being criticised for being “un-American”??

What a joke! Wikileaks supporters shut down SaraPAC??…and this article contains a quote that states “SarahPAC.com was not harmed because Palin’s staff was able to move quickly to protect the site.” LOL! I have to say good PR move on the part of the political action committee. So have any of you actually checked out SarahPAC? I did, and I was met with “Donate Now.” The website states that SarahPAC.com is the ONLY political action committee authorized by Sarah Palin. So, how does one go about getting some free advertising?…apparently by emailing ABC News. Like I said, what a joke!

Sarah Palin’s an idiot but there’s no point in attacking her website. She’s just a talking head on television after all.
BTW Wikileaks isn’t behind this. There’s plenty of people who don’t like her and these attacks aren’t hard to pull off.

Just proves once again how childish and immature the left is nowadays. Remember when they used to love their country? If Clinton was President now they would crucify him.

Let’s be clear and honest here, Wikileaks and Assange aren’t responsible for “putting lives at danger” for leaking information of heinous acts – your government is for engaging in them. Don’t blame the messenger for the sins of the criminal. p.s. I don’t buy this article at all – where’s the proof outside of Palin’s word on her own?

You should do better reporting. Operation Payback is orchestrated by a hive-mind group called Anonymous, that has also targeted Scientology and the RIAA in the past, and has no direct affiliation to Assange himself. If your news team actually reported the story like the BBC and Guardian and explained it, maybe network news as a medium wouldn’t be 6 feet under.

Posting a cached page from Anonops.net is not proof that Palin was indeed targeted. Ms. Palin really needs to provide technical proof.
I believe ABC News and Mr. Trapper should be ashamed of themselves for putting up this news story without any due diligence.

Sarah Palin faces off with the new fascists. Too bad the Obama administration can’t summon the intestinal fortitude to really take these people on.

It is obvious the progressive front only supports laws when it drives their methods and breaks them or opposes them at whim.

We are anonymous.
We live in bel-air
but born and raised in west philadlphia
We fight for the first amendment. Freedom. I am not a liberal, i am a libertarian. I fight for my freedom.
I am anonymous

Xdustinx, you’re full of crap. Just because there’s information that our government doesn’t want exposed does not mean that it’s something illegal or “heinous.” There are a lot of people in Afghanistan who literally risk their lives to help us against the Taliban. Assange has exposed them (and their families; the Taliban isn’t picky) to deadly retaliation.

If they Can Shut Her (Palin) Up for good where can I make a donation ?

Good for WikiLeaks to go after this Wicked Witch from the state of Alaska. We need more Julian Assanges here in America and throughout the world.

How do you keep liberals busy? Write an article about Sarah Palin.

Please Please Please Hack Matt Drudge

SARAH! Please run for President so I can get out there and campaign really hard for you. I think you are great and all the loony left will go nuts when you run which will make me that much happier.

Hey – The US Gov’t went after Assange the little spy wannabe, not Sarah palin – So why are his supporters whining about her? How come they aren’t going after the people in the Justice Dept. and White House who recognize the problems Assange has caused for civilized nations and acted accordingly? Palin didn’t do any of that, the Government did.
These “Wikileaks” morons would have posted “EXCLUSIVE – ALLIES TO HIT AT NORMANDY” on June 5, 1944 if the opportunity had presented itself to them, too. They’re the types who kiss up to dictators and think they are “edgy” trying to sabotage and backstab those who fight for the freedoms those in the Free World enjoy. To call them worms insults worms, which provide valuable functions in nature. They’re just scumbags and traitors.

Sarah Palin is an attention getter and cannot contro whether that attention is from her supporters or distractors. If she wants she can just shut up and no one will say a thing. In’t not just liberals, but moderates and true conservatives (not keyboard commandos) are tired of her schtick.

freedom of press .

The Taliban announced its gratitude to Wikileaks for the release and vowed to hunt down those revealed in the documents to be collaborating with the U.S.
70 other tribal elders received death threats warning them that the Taliban had obtained reason to believe they were collaborating with the U.S. One such threat is signed by Abdul Rauf Khadim, a senior Taliban official who was imprisoned in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. When the Cuban prison was partially shut down by President Obama Khadim was transferred to Afghan custody in Kabul, where he subsequently escaped.

wow–some of the comments on here are completely void of any intelligence whatsoever.
Hey all you Obama haters/Obama is socialist yahoos — what say you now? Obama just WORKED A DEAL WITH YOUR RIGHT-WING SAVIOURS!!! Yeah, a real socialist, that one.

The Militart Conservatives stole and released the Documents..wikileaks just reported the information

Has anyone verified this or is it just “I am a perpetual victim” Sarah’s own press release? I would think if I were a hacker I would be thinking “why bother?” This smells like a publicity stunt.

Palin was not even really a target : / Her website was probably fine because i t bet all of 4 computers ddosed it.

Why in God’s name do these idiots keep calling her Governor Palin. Have they bee hibernating?

Time to take America back and remember the Greatest Generation we came from. these anti-American hackers are our ENEMIES and we need to eliminate them. Period. simple. we have PRO-American hackers, find the anti-American enemies and target them. 2012 cannot come soon enough.

Right. Sarah’s staff countered an attack to her website but Mastercard and Visa can’t? She’s just full of BS

@Karen – It’s the same reason people still call Clinton and Bush Mr. President. It’s proper.

Hackers PLEASE take down Matt Drudge .

These Anti-American Attackers are not even American. Come on, at least read up on this. It’s NOT wikileaks, it’s a 4-chan spinter group. Don’t you think if they actually had Palin’s CC info they would publish it? There are thousands of them world wide, no one is going to be able to stop them without taking down the entire internet.

@Abe This article IS full of misinformation… I hope ABC gets attacked next…

Her site loads just fine!

“No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange’s antics,” Palin emailed. “This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”
Sarah, you ignorant cant. *no one* is keeping silent about Assange or we wouldn’t have been reading about him for over a week. he’s not an American, so “exercising the First Amendment” means nothing here. and since he’s not American, he can’t be UN-American. if you had half the brains you think you have, you’d have twice the brains you actually do.

Hackers Go after ALL Republican Websites including the RNC and ALL Republican PAC sites..
Also go after Yahoos Comment section..far to many idiots on it..
Take down the KKK websites and all Hate Based sites..generally anything republican

Former office holders are called by their former titles as a means of respect. Hence, Jimmy Carter is still referred to as President Carter. You libs really need to stay in school longer.

If the USA wasn’t doing shady activity and hiding it, there would not be a problem with the leaks.
Don’t shoot the messenger for exposing your wrong doings. I hope when it’s all said and done he brings the entire US government down on its own head.

Hey Tapper, if you don’t understand the internet how about not reporting on it? Quit uncritically reprinting nonsense, these are not only blatant lies, they’re poor ones that any 5 year old that understands DNS could debunk.

From the article:
“Palin has criticized Wikileaks founder Assange, writing on Facebook that his “past posting of classified documents revealed the identity of more than 100 Afghan sources to the Taliban. Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders…”
I wish the 1/2 governor would also apply these rules to Bush & Cheney and the leaking of Valerie Plame’s name. Leaking the name of an American CIA agent has to be worse, you betcha!

How is it that she has the cajones to stand up against this traitor, but Obama won’t?

Again Wikileaks did noyt steal any secrets..thye were GIVEN to them by the US Military..some Private had access to all these secerets..
Where is the outrage from the Conservatives with their precious Military..
Where is Jack Trapper reporting on the conservative Military that cant even keep Top Secret Materila from PRIVATES!

Nicole, Sarah Palin is a self-made politician who rose from a small town mayor to the governor of a state on her own merit. She and her husband are also small business owners. She is also a best selling author and mother of five. I think she deserves at least a modicum of respect.

“This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”
Uh, what? So freedom of speech is ok, or not ok?

Where si Sarah Palin critizing the Conservative MIlitary for allowinga PRIVATE to have access to all this Material..where is her call for this Private to be tried for treason?
Sarah Palin is a tramp

Here it is, ABC News. Could you please do your journalistic work and stop spreading misinformation.
“That’s pretty insane. This statement from the, hehe “technical aide”, makes absolutely no sense.
“on our server log this morning it showed the attacks coming from a browser identified as wikileaks.org.”
A browser? ..and WikiLeaks lost the domain wikileaks.org a few days ago. The only one how controls wikileaks.org now is EveryNet DNS.
So are we supposed to believe that EveryNet launch and attack against Palin or is this just one big fat lie?”

freedom of supression

Ahhhhh…the uber-tolerant left. Who believe in free speech just as long as it conforms to their point of view.
“SHUT ‘EM DOWN! SHUT ‘EM ALL DOWN! THEY DISAGREE WITH US!!! SHUT ‘EM DOWN!!!”
…listen to you people.
You could substitute different words but the same tone of voice and simply shout “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
There used to be a time in this country not long ago when the phrase went “I don’t believe in your point of view, but I will fight to the death for your ability to say it.”
The slobbering angry left does not hold this view. “The ends justify the means.” Right, comrades?
I’m ashamed of you people. You are pathetic excuses for American citizens.

Right..so now if someone disagrees with Palin’s lies they are crucifiers of Jesus Christ. That is the most pathetic statement I’ve heard yet. Put down that beer!

Palin kills animals for FUN..Did you see her all smiles and laughter after she shot the Moose..

UnAmerican? Traitor? Assange is not an American.
Palin is botn an American and a dope.

@herb
hmm that would be difficult for him as he is in custody in London, it was actually a group called Anon via operation payback.

First the leaks wanted to embarrass/scare Secretary of State Clinton and now Palin. Is this a power trip by wimpy guys scared of women?
.
Leak Obama (ie college records)

I bet the Palins just lost their credit cards and are trying to cash in on all the fun!

Rep. or dem. there just to heads of the same monster. Do you actually think Palin believes the venom she spits? Divide and concour thats all it is. Wikeleaks is just publishing info it is given my members of the military and gov’t. Maybe we should ask ourselves why if we are such a great country would our own do this? Maybe because our shadow govt is evil

This is really sad. It is clear that most commenters on here have not done any investigation on their own.
The Pentagon has acknowledged that there is not a shred of evidence that anyone has been harmed, or even forced to relocate, due to WL disclosures. Where is this mythical “blood?” Meanwhile, we turn a blind eye to torture committed by the Iraqi Army – didn’t we go there with the purpose of ending human rights abuses? We send in killer robots to bomb our enemies, except 33% of the people we kill with drone attacks are civilians – and these attacks have been proven to inspire more terrorists. Oh wait, I forgot, when we do it, its collateral damage. Not blood on our hands.
We spy on UN officials, we coerce allied governments into quashing investigations when their COMPLETELY INNOCENT citizens are rendered to black sites and tortured for years. These people in our government/contractors/etc. are ruining our country and it pisses me off. WL is not perfect, they are far from it. I do not agree with their decisions to release some particular documents. But one look at the mainstream US media (and I’m not talking about liberal bias) convinces me that WL is the best we have if we want to demand some accountability from these un-American bastards.
And the above examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Sorry I didn’t post links but I have read the primary articles on all of these issues. Google should be able to locate them if you’re interested.

The GOP elite, the Dems, and the media hit Sarah Palin everyday. And everyday, she stands up, and stands taller and louder than anybody else against this big government progressivism. Some people tell us how they’ll lead. Sarah shows us.

More nonsensical rantings from an American embarrassment. Wow I wish she would shut her dumb hole.

Jake, you are not crazy but misguided. Assange is using the 1st amendment as a veneer to protect his actions, e.g., putting people and governments at harm, creating cyber attacks. Sarah stands up for her beliefs. She is not commiting sedition, espionage, or cyber assaults.

Palin thinks North Korea is our Ally…

I wonder if Palin even knows what “cyber attack” even means…

Lots of ugly (no doubt) angry Liberals as usual – why do you losers always use the word “spew”? Does that makes you feel intelligent? I see you are imploding which is a riot. You lost and you will lose in 2012 as well so you should get used to it right now. I especially love how you want to control/hack into sites and news you “don’t agree with”. Do you now understand why you are considered and called “Communists”? If not, I’d suggest you go back and read your own “spew”. Liberals…you’d almost be funny if you weren’t so dangerous.

Actually, Sarah Palin is a brilliant idiot. She rose from small town mayor to Governor after which she quit after a very short half term. She knows nothing about facts, only ideology. That in its own, isn’t the worst as we are all entitled to opinions. But she’s a blatant liar when discussing such things. I give her credit for media savvy, she’s brilliant. It’s just that she’s not the brightest bulb in the box. Everyone loves her due to the unwavering and very one sided view the masses have. Faux News doesn’t portray the truth, they provide Palin infomercials. Her book is full of “Proven” lies and known exaggerations. Her TV show is staged. Like I said, she’s brilliant to have gotten this far. It’s just sad that a lot of misinformed people (or ill informed) people don’t know, or don’t care to know the truth. SMH

Sarah Palin vowed she would bring down the President of the UNited States ..how is that not treason?

Spin it anyway you wish. Governor Sarah Palin lives rent free in all of your liberal heads.

Palin says she thinks she could beat Obama in 2012 and Dan M thinks that means “bring Obama down.”
Palin exercises her free speech right and criticizes the president and Robert thinks that’s “treason.”
It’s beginning to look like liberals have absolutely no concept of freedom and what that entails.

Our society has hit rock bottom! I have no hope of it ever getting back to what it should be.
Going after one’s credit card numbers is nothing to admire….even if you do hate Gov. Palin!
All decency and common sense has left the whole planet…Time may name this Wikileaky as man of the year….
You defend the actions of hackers just because you hate someone you don’t know.
Berkely is about to vote on wikileaky as a man to be admired!
Where is the America and people I knew?
No one has allegiance to our country anymore…no one defends honesty…
No wonder our kids are a mess!

Sarah Palin gets highn off killing animals..She smiles ,laughs and shoots..Animal is Dead and Sarahs rin gets wider and starts laughing again

I’d like to see these hackers get into the Hawaiian hospital records and see if A

Create havoc and start an internet war.
Just watch, this will give ammunition to the FCC and Obama to have the government seize the internet.

I wonder if Palin even knows what “cyber attack” even means…

“Maybe Sarah Palin should be carful…” Posted by: Me | Dec 8, 2010 7:31:36 PM

FACT ..US Military released the documents..

Palin’s power continues to grow. Even Wikileakers are going after her.

The Private that stole the documents is a Republican.FACT

Sarah is the US’s Kevin Rudd, media addict. You should back away slowly now, she’s got a gun and a wee brain.

For those who don’t know what’s really going on. many Hunters on these expeditions donate the meat to Alaskan Villiages. Moose or Carabu hit on the side of the road are donated to local charity. Very little of the animal is wasted. This has been going on for thousands of years. Man has hunted animals. Not everyone wants to go to the local market.

Please note that any form you view of the definition always includes the words “Left” or “form of Leftist”..coincidence Libs? I think not. Why don’t you just “come out” already?
com·mu·nism (käm′yo̵̅o̅ niz′əm, -yə-)

b.the doctrines, methods, etc. of the Communist parties

Why anyone takes any notice of Sarah Palin is beyond comprehension. She is a self serving, publicity seeking, person who is cruel to animals, who quit on her job as Governor mid term. She is ignorant and inexperienced but is just trying to market herself as a potential future President of the US. She must be out of her mind if she thinks the American people want a first ever woman President to be someone from a ludicrous reality TV show, who would be more at home on Jerry Springer than in the White House, she is seriously misguided. No one is afraid of her, they are ashamed of her and sick and tired of her. Every day she works it, trying to keep her nonsense buzz going. We can stop it any time we want, by not reading or commenting about her. This is my first and last comment about this jerk. Ignore her and she will soon disappear.

If the wikileaks people REALLY want to stir it up, they should get copies of Obama’s college transcripts and REAL birth certificate and make them public!

Jason,
I fear we have far too many people that don’t care if we are under attack by communism…if they even know what it is.

Yet it is obama and the democrats that are mole3sting children at the airports. stealing domain names, forcing citizens to purchase insurance from a private company under threat of jail, labeling anybody that does not agree with their agenda “enemies of the state”, threatening to shut down any information portal that does not preach teh party line. You have it wrong…. it is the progressives that have become the neo-fascist movement in the US.

THANK YOU Sarah Palin for proving what you REALLY are.

Jake, why do you insist on mentioning Palin at every possible opportunity?
She has to be the least important target of Operation Payback, and yet you seem to think that its all about her.
Do you have a thing for Palin or something?

Go, Wikileakers, go! I don’t begrudge Palin her new found wealth, but I do begrudge her hateful, judgmental rhetoric. If you can shut her up for even a millisecond, you’ve done not just the US, BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD a monumental favor!!!!!

ROFLMAO!!
Sarah Palin was NEVER targeted. Is her TV show really that low on ratings and is she starving that much for attention. There are only a couple of THOUSAND people who can completely prove this as a lie. Idea…

It is amazing how many people are affected by Palin Derangement Syndrome. How can people possibly use an article just reporting the fact that Palin has been subjected to a criminal assault that is patently obviously completely inconsistent with any claims Wikileaks could possibly make about favoring Freedom of Speech – into a reason to attack Palin. It is amazing how obsessed these people are by Palin. Amazing . . . . and pathetic.

i have a great idea on Wikileaks If you want to keep our nations secrets store them where Obama stores his college transcripts and birth certificate.

“Actually, Sarah Palin is a brilliant idiot. She rose from small town mayor to Governor after which she quit after a very short half term. She knows nothing about facts, only ideology.

…..huh substitute Obama for Palin and this still holds true. he lied about getting troops out of Afghanistan, lied about closing Gitmo, etc. etc. etc.

Look at all the Liberals here cheering the fact that an organized group (Operation Payback) has gone after someone for speaking her mind (Sarah Palin) because as we see with the Left, censorship is unAmerican – unless you disagree with the Left. In that case, censorship is actively supported.
Also, why don’t the cowards at Operation Payback go after the Obama Administration who are the REAL ones behind getting Assange put in prison?

“Wikileaks didnt steal anything thing..they simply released documents the uS Military gave them..
The US Military gave access to all the US National Secrest to a PRIVATE.The Private comitte dtreason and the US Military is complicit..theough pure ignorance

…so, if I steal your car and give it to my friend to use…it’s your fault for leaving it in the drive?

These idiots need to remember that two can play at that game. It doesn’t take much skill to run the tool they are using and it can be used against them as easily as they used it against Palin…

Bmmovie, the worst thing is to see no hope… This is a full out war with communism… Now it’s In the open, use this for strength and push back .. These people are sick and evil.

…where is the outrage for Obama’s trampling on our constitutional rights.. Obama’s a one term empty suit.

How CURIOUS!!
But there is ONE little problem with the allegation of S.Palin:
Wikileak.org no longer existed (blocked and erased fro Url servers) prior of the alleged thief.
Extremely hard for something that do not exist to be anywhere!
So either S.Palin LIED to defame wikileak or LIED so she do not pay her credit cards.
Hope she end in the mental prison she deserve!
Here is MY first amendment Palin (insert pic of raised middle finger here)

Possibly if Palin spoke the truth rather than the most vile of the propaganda being used against Wikileaks, she wouldn’t be whining about the abuse of her free speech rights. Grow up Palinites, she reaped what she sowed. Her total fail on Wikileaks free speech rights made her a target.

Reverse effect of their games. The more trouble the cause for Palin the more reason to vote for her in 2012 if she runs.

There is one fact you can’t argue.
Sarah cares for this country and is fearless.
Palin/West 2012

You ppl are a bunch of hypocrites you slaughter cows but first they are thrown around, pigs hare in cages where they can not move/turn, hundreds of chicken in one small cage, baby chicks thrown in the garbage. Saw all this on TV….and most of you eat theseanimals plus you ppl hubt for deers and different fowls and you eat them…SO STOP WITH SARAH PALIN HUNTING. in Alaska ppl hunt an d fish for their meals….it’s been done for centuries and you hypocrites who visit Alaska eat moose meat, crabs, and all fish.

Site’s back down, u mad bros?

It took me all of 5 mins to learn via google that this attack is not associated with WikiLeaks in any way. This was an Anonymous attack – the same group that went after the “church” of Scientology.
Look up “operation payback” on YouTube and google for the actual reason behind the attack. I think ABC got it wrong on this one.

A person’s IQ can be easily measured:
A person’s IC is inversely proportional to the hate they feel for Governor Sarah Palin.
Palin –objectively speaking- was and is more qualified to be President than what we have now.
After all, Governor Palin has more executive experience, Grace, Love for God and fellow Countrymen, Patriotism and American common sense in one of her gorgeous eyelashes than the Affirmative Action President has in his entire ‘messianic body’, including the teleprompter.
The last two years have proven those things to be a veritable fact.

“a shady disreputable organization with no regard for laws or human life”? The leaked war logs shed light on the 60K+ civilians killed in Iraq. I like Palin.. as a person, not a politician. Her personal credit shouldn’t have been attacked but it was. And Assange being arrested as a result of this smear campaign is a joke. The US Govt is more of a threat to the private citizens of the US than he is.

Does Palin think that the New York Times would not publish these documents if they received them?

hey lookee me! im a dumb ‘merican cowboy. these here are terrists!

What amazes me is the lack of verbal (and/or keyboard) ability of all the Sarah haters. The knuckle-dragging idiots who cannot spell or put together a coherent thought all seem to be libs/dems. Figures.

Hawaii Hospital…
great idea!!

Interesting how no Politician spoke up about the criminal activity via cyber attacks on Wikileaks? No one said a word when Wikileaks was forced off Amazon’s servers and had to move to Swiss Servers. No one said a word when Wikileaks DNS lookup service was cutoff – no DNS equals no Wikileaks.
Imagine for a minute what the uproar would be from Politicians if this had happened to say the New York Times or Washington Post or to TimesWarner and all their web sites. No one said a word and I suspect not much was done to help Wikileaks to overcome those attacks. No FBI or NSA bothering to try and trace and help stop those attacks on Wikileaks. Where were all those cyber-security agencies? Surely they were not in Cancun for that Global Warming argument fest
As for disclosing secrets, apparently Wikileaks had approached US Government Agencies to try and work together to redact names and real secrets. Apparently Wikileaks proposal was rejected.
Where is the FCC with Net Neutrality? Why has the FCC not said anything about Visa, Mastercard or PayPal? Why has the FCC not said a word about Amazon or the folks who had provided DNS lookup service? Why have no US Legal Agencies bothered to speak about any of this. I wonder if there will be a refund for all the fees which were collected from Wikileaks?
Questioning minds would like to know.

The statist are the Republicans and Democrats. They are legs of the beast. Forget these two corporate fascist parties and expose the truth behind corrupt government. Go Assange! Liberty for all! Long live the Republic!

Well Sarah, your stupidity always shines right through. You accuse Assange of un-American activities. Well he is not an American. You say you’d like to see him tried for treason? The leaks was done overseas and he is an Australian? So how do you come up with treason? American laws do not apply to foreign citizens overseas. Can you still see Russia from your front yard? You must be the dumbest person ever to hold the office of Governor in any state.

Folks:
Anonymous and their friends are affiliated with Wikileaks the way folks are affiliated with a political party. Supporters but not conspirators. Also, this is not a hacker attack in the “traditional” sense. No computers are being hijacked and turned into “zombies”. Folk are downloading the “Ion Canon” and turning their own computers into artillery. You still need to convince about a thousand folks to fire at once at a particular target at once though. How democratic.
So that’s whats happening. The “Ion Cannon” isn’t the only tool out there and these programs are as easy to use as “Seti@Home”. They’re spreading like wild fire too.
From this point on anyone foolish enough to make a thousand people angry can expect their web presence to be compromised.
Wikileaks didn’t create this situation, the U.S. government brought it down apon us all by their reaction to Wikileaks.
The funny thing is that Wikileaks is only releasing cables that some other news agency has written a story about (To keep them honest I guess). I’ve been checking on that from the beginning. They are the ones that are showing restraint here.
This will go down in history as the Wikileaks War.
It’s only begun.
tinker

Has anything from Palin’s email been confirmed? I don’t doubt that it possible the same DDoS attacks that were carried out on Mastercard.com, Visa.com, etc could have been carried out on Sarah Palin’s website, but from what I understand, those attacks cannot be directed at specific credit card accounts (please correct me if I’m wrong). It seems like every news article reporting the attack on Palin’s credit card account cites only this article, and this article cites only Palin’s email, which is reported as undisputed fact.
If the author of this article has confirmed that Sarah Palin’s credit card account has indeed been “disrupted”, then I apologize. If not, then the author is responsible for disseminating rumor to half the online journalism outlets. Even though this is hardly an isolated event, it’s my opinion that journalism should be free of that.

HaHaHaHaHaHa!
Ironic about free speech eh Sarah? It goes both ways.
I am Wikileaks.

You people have serious problems differentiating between National Security and individual speech.
Civilizations go extinct because security secrets are not kept.
But carry on. I look forward to the coming war.

HAHAHAHAHA

SARAH PALIN IS A NEOCON!!! SHE IS NOT THE TEA PARTY!!! THE MEDIA WANTS TO FOOL ALL OF YOU INTO THINKING SARAH PALIN IS THE TEA PARTY SHE IS NOT….SHE IS WHAT McCAIN BROUGHT IN TO SATISFY THE NEOCONS!!! DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? DO NOT FALL FOR IT…SHE IS NOT THE TEA PARTY……SHE MUST NEVER PASS THE PRIMARIES…NOTICE THE PLAY THE MEDIA IS GIVING HER!! DOES THAT SOUND NORMAL TO YOU??? SOUNDS LIKE THE MEDIA DOESNT LIKE HER??? DONT BE STUPID!!! THE MEDIA WANTS TO CON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ONCE AGAIN!!!! DO NOT BUY IT!!!!

My issue is not whether or not the events happened (it seems like there were DDoS attackes on Palin’s website based on what the technical aide said and based on the screenshots) but whether or not this article’s author confirmed that Palin’s personal credit card account was attacked (it seems like that might not have happened and there is no evidence pointing to the contrary). If there is indeed no evidence supporting Palin’s claim that her personal credit card account was attacked, then the author has potentially printed something factually inaccurate which has since been reprinted throughout the internet on news websites. It is the author’s responsibility not to take the email at face value and present it as fact.
Again, if it is confirmed that Palin’s credit card account has been attacked, I take back everything I’ve said.

The COMPLETE political morons in Palin and this “Monssour” idiot (or however you spell his name) say that Anonymous-type hacktivist activity should be dissallowed. Well. I say this: It’s not “Free Speech” that is being defended against, morons. It’s freeDOM. Get it? If someone’s free speech attacks freedom, then their free speech will get attacked. Plain and simple. Understand the difference.

I like Sarah Palin but I like Julian Assange better and am 100% behind him on what he is doing. He is the modern day hero for the people that are tired of being lied to and looked down upon by these sorry ass elitists and so called government politicians. I hope he destroys everyone in washington by the time he is done. Maybe it will teach them a lesson to do the right thing and keep their F**king mouth shut in the future but I doubt it So give them Hell Julian!! Many of the American public are behind you and as a Successful Business person here in the US I am behind you 100%.

This shows the enemies of Sarah Palin are joining forces with the enemies of our nation…….
Any American who supports the turd from Wiki leaks should be tried for treason, expatriated and deported to…Cuba…or some flea ridden dump like Somalia…….
He’s trying to cripple this Country, and if you libs don’t see that, your either just blind, or deranged………..

While unlike our RINos the left knows who the real leader is. I don’t see MittPac coming under sustained attack….
Why isn’t anybody going after Mike Huckabee’s credit card information?

Glenn Beck is right Top down bottom up turn insideout to bad he’s gold selling puppet Mormon.

Most people support transparency, openness and honesty. Unlike some people in USA, not many people like lies, dishonesty and secrets specially if it is going to affect them. Although the latter group has more money and power, there are billions more intelligent people who support true democracy. Ultimately ‘People Power’ will win and the world will change for the better.

What a bunch of losers if they really wanted to cause problems they would go after the IRS Servers Air traffic control network and white house servers. Which goes to show this Operation Payback and wikileaks are just part of the Obama re election campaign committee.

Right now, no one from Anonymous gives 2 cents about Palin or her chronically attention-starved family. Her credit card details were not targeted, but she probably can’t use them at the moment, which is probably what the Mastercard rep was calling her about before she blew it out of proportion as an OMG DIRTY LIBERALS OUT TO GET ME, SARAH PALIN, RARRR MAMA GRIZZLY CHOMP!!! Play the victim, even when not actually victimized. She’ll be doing plenty of that once the GOP dumps her in 2012.

I wonder what an out cry it would have been if the ‘wiki’ people went after moveon.org or huffingtonpost.com… Just shows that lefties only cry foul when a conservative fights back…

I take strong exception to the peculiar statements made by ‘idesign’, among others.
This: “This shows the enemies of Sarah Palin are joining forces with the enemies of our nation…….
Any American who supports the turd from Wiki leaks should be tried for treason, expatriated and deported to…Cuba…or some flea ridden dump like Somalia…….
He’s trying to cripple this Country, and if you libs don’t see that, your either just blind, or deranged………..”
..would be remarkable if only it wasn’t voiced with some sincerity.
Freedom of information (by which we are able to inform ourselves) as well as a free press are the cornerstones of a free and functional democracy.
Far from ‘crippling’ a free and fair society, the leaks so far published are a goad for all of us to actively protect the free exchange of views and information vital to national health.
Unless you reserve the right to torture other human beings under the guise of ‘protectiveness’, think that it is good to gun down journalists, and generally lie and cheat in order to get your self-serving ends met, that is.
We should instead thank Wikileaks for highlighting our glaring inadequacy and complacency in matters of diplomatic security, take stock of our errors, and actually BE the exemplars of democratic principles we claim to be.
Don’t talk about it, BE about it.

All your rights go out the window when you leave America.Same go’s for posting comments on a non American web site.

The US has been needing this crisis for a long time. Palin has all the free speech she wants. Up until she cries out for Assange’s execution since free speech doesnt give someone the right to call for someone to be murdered. I cant argue shes a patriotic but shes also totaly nuts. Keep it up anonymous you re the only ones doing anything at all about another one of the US arm twisting

Actually, no, RD, you have the wrong end of the stick.
Illegal operations such as the bestial brutality carried out at Abu Ghraib and condoned by a desensitized cadre of officers, poorly-disciplined or truly rogue units, and illegal wars of opportunity do that rather well.
As does the DDT (Department of Dirty Tricks).
The Bear had the right idea. So did the Green Berets and AUS SASR members who had bin Laden in their sights a few years ago.
Instead of instigating for the silencing of watchdog voices, call the real dogs to account.

LET EVERY ONE OF THEM BE HUNTED DOWN AND THROWN IN JAIL..or forced to help reinforce the US’s internet security.

Aroaro,
If we could all be as dispassionate, concise and reasonable as you, then America might actually survive until 2020 without becoming a fascist cesspool.

If these anarchist creeps were actually worried about free speech and human rights they’d hack into Chinese computers and find out what the commie dictators are hiding. May I suggest that they start with finding out what happened to over 30 million people who ‘disappeared’ under Mao.
And oh how typical that they say they’re against censorship but then attempt to muzzle anyone who says something they don’t like such as Sarah Palin who is 100% correct that revealing the names of Afghans who are secretly helping the US puts the lives of those people in great danger. Not only that, without the help from Afghanis like them there will be more women beaten, disfigured and executedby the Taliban, more hands and feet cut off for petty crimes, etc.
But do these anarchist monsters actually care what damage they do? -of course not!

There should be no SECRETS in a democracy. These documents should be RELEASED after every PRESIDENCY. You people are so brainwashed to believe everything the elites tell you.
How they must laugh at the fools they rule. This isn’t about Palin…just shows which side she’s on.

@ Mike: Sarah Palin comments were against Freedom of Speech.
You want a president who doesn’t understand the first Amendment? Wow…you’re smart like Palin.

No this is not a Wiki-anything kind of mess. I’m sure it is a secret little attack from the White House. These Clowns seem to be so frightened of Sarah Palin they are doing stupid things. What ever these Marxists are doing they don’t seem to be doing any body any good…… Not even themselves.

by the by, did you do any real investigative work on this piece mr. tapper? because it appears that you just bought sarah’s story hook, line, and sinker, and kept her in the headlines, just where she likes to be.(that screen shot proves nothing…)

She wish she was attacked by assange… It looks tot-T-tally made up from her PR. Did anyone saw the “obscure message”?

I’d like to hack into Berkeley’s server, get the name, address, phone number, credit card and bank numbers, grades, medical records and criminal background of every one there who thinks Bradley Manning is some sort of hero and publish it on the web. Hey, I’d just be exercising my right to free speech under their ~definition~ so why should they care?

Bunch of fox news fans here.
US Gov’t-
Hacked wikileaks, Life treated Assage, Blackmail Paypal, amazon, Visa, Pressure Interpol Police to put Assage in the most Wanted List(For a broken Candle) – Crime.
That is alredy some jail time for a few people there..
Wikileaks so far, by the constitution has commited no crime.
Somebody said about terror? Well, I believe if you say that you probally still think that Iraq war was really a War on terror right?
Sad… very Sad, we all are being raped every day in every way by our own Gov’t.

“The information was CLASSIFIED and it was STOLEN.”
you left out the part where it was stolen by a disgruntled low-level military clerk (a private, no less!) who then gave it to assange. we can’t try assange for treason (not an american), and apparently even we have a hard time laying the blame solely at the feet of this soldier. rather than taking a long hard look at our security systems, it’s oh-so-much easier to point fingers elsewhere.
i’m not a fan of wikileaks; in fact i think that much harm has been done to our foreign policy by these document releases, but we need to understand that we need to be able to stay one step ahead of these types of cyber-sleuths, not one step behind.

Free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

This guy should be punished? Are you kidding me? Fallin supporters, are you serious? Maybe you should realize that if we had wikileaks in the Bush era, maybe we would of had our soldiers here at home, protecting our borders. What you fail to realize is that your own president put our soldiers lives at risk way before wikileaks. Freaking Sheep…same goes for the far left. Someone finally had enough and stood up to the elite, and you call him a traitor.

and here’s another comment that i forgot:
i can see the handwriting on the wall that pretty soon palin will be taken as an incompetent clown by independents as well as a great number of republicans. i think the country can rest now that she’s in self-destruct mode, despite her big-name consultants, world geography advisers, google search helpers and ghost writers.

Nothing like some “free press”. For Palin. Oh is that a pun?

Oh, if wikileaks had only existed before Bush took us to two wars. The government lies to us, that is the basic truth that conservatives want covered up. How are you supposed to have an informed vote if you don’t have the real information? You’d have to be a tea party voter.

You Liberal’s are nothing but a bunch of stupid self centered morons, this mam should be hunted down and taken out by our C.I.A. in a simple car accident, he is completely undermining our troops and,is a complete traitor to this country, Take Him Out and get the other traitor at the same time. Their is nothing noble about betraying this country and our troops…

“un-American”? To paraphrase John Lennon:
“Very observant: we’re NOT American”.
Sally is talking about an Australian.
What a ‘Maroon’ (from: ‘Bugs Bunny’).

This story has a funny smell to me. I wouldn’t put it past Palin to again be playing the victim and SarahPAC did this to themselves to get headlines.

Continued proof that Obama and affirmative action DO NOT WORK. How many more things can this idiot screw up? I wish I could shake the man’s hand who gave him a bloody lip.

Sarah Palin had a website? I bet she has a lot of animated gifs and midi background music.

I find it interesting that Palin brings up the First amendment right to free speech in criticizing Wikileaks. Furthermore, she’s a moron. Julian Assange IS un-American, Ms. Palin, and do you know why? Because he’s Australian.
My God, every time I think she can’t possibly be any more stupid, she proves me wrong!

@ Aroaro – you do realize that he is the messanger, right? That others LEAKED the documents to him? Any journalist would publish this material if it was handed to them.
As for a non-american being un-american, I can’t imagine a more obvious statement. I cannot believe the amount of support for the people exposed in these documents. Everyone should be demanding answers from their governments and not attacking the guy who is revealing deep corruption, inept security and broken systems.

If a collective of hackers were to attack
the dis functional Palin camp they wouldn’t stop at just the credit.After they have crippled the major stuff they would erase and alter the space they occupy .Then the sites would be turned to the underlings of the palin clan and steal,alter,or erase information needed to make or break deals.One thing they could do is find information on past events that palin doesnt want people to know,and make it public,like affairs,trooper gate,unlawful spending,feeding Bristol to much.
But are they worth the efforts of experienced hackers,no I think not.
Hackers dont do half a job,they would do it right and make it count.

oh…. but her PAC money wasn’t compromised. They tried to attack her but totally failed to put a dent in her… cuz she is too strong for them…
o god that hilarious.
Little girl Lies… from another spoiled brat that hasn’t grown up.
but she’s good looking… doesn’t that make her equal to JFK???
(oh wait, JFK had brains)

Of course, everyone should simply take what this pifhawt Palin says at face value.
Right. As if this story isn’t a really unimagin

As a non-American who is not anti-American, but anti-American foreign policy. What did the US expect? Dragging countries such as Australia into conflicts based on lies and a lack of transparency. US foreign policy is a scourge that the world either must rid itself of or accept be under the yoke of it’s military industrial complex forever.

FINE. I’M SENDING MONEY TO SARAHPAC.ORG. I HAVE AMERICAN EXPRESS ON MY SIDE! THEY DO NOT LET TERRORISTS OF ANY SORT STEAL MONEY FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS.

HKDaddyo and the rest of you that keep bashing Sarah for her un-American or anti-American statement prove you possess less intelligence than you believe her to have.
You can be from another country and be un-American or anti-American, doesn’t mean you have to be a citizen to be labeled as such.
Anonymous – fights against censorship and copywrong.
See anything wrong with this group or actually believe they are defenders of injustice? Should be criticizing them but in your zeal to hate her your brain cells die off at a rapid rate clouding your logic. They claim to fight against censorship that they feel has been violated and do so in the manner in which they claim to be defending. Not to mention they have to hide behind a screen for they know there actions would bring legal prosecution against them. Sarah came right out and spoke her peace. They deserve to be detained as Assange is.
This world is so ass backwards these days.

I’m not sure what I read here… looks like more Palin propaganda to me, maybe that’s the reason this is an “exclusive”.
While I don’t agree with everything Mr. Assange and his associates have done, WikiLeaks has also exposed some great transgressions, some of them perpetrated by the American government and American military. Also, Mr. Assange, being Australian, can hardly be accused of being “un-American”.
Still, disrupting the Palins’ accounts is an unfair attack. It’s not as if Palin herself has any power to punsish Assange (thankfully). Releasing revealing information on their activities – should the folks at WikiLeaks be in possession of any – would be a more appropriate means of countering her extreme words.

Is anybody really surprised to discover that the enemies of America at WikiLeaks is supported by George Soros and use cyber terrorism against popular conservatives? Really – is ANYONE surprised?

These moves and counter moves in a cyberspace war are difficult for us laymen to figure out. I don’t know if Assange is a freedom-fighting hero to some people or a criminal terrorist to others. I do recall from history that the first move that Lenin and the Bolsheviks made in October 1917 was to take over the central telephone exchange in Moscow to start their revolution. This battle has escalated to the point of criminal behavior on someone’s part be it leader or follower. There was an old axiom in TV news some decades ago, “when the action is hot, keep the rhetoric cool.”

“Assange and his minions, cyber-Al-Quaeda hackers”
LOL
You are so far wide of the mark its just funny.
Bless your red and white striped cotton socks.

Make no mistake, this Anonymous group is simply homosexual activists doing what they do on the internet.
They malign, attack and try to ruin anyone who they conclude isn’t towing the pro-homosexual activism way.
Wikileaks is a relative.

So with all these conspiratorial revelations leaking out, I wonder… where are all the cables and documents that validate the tinfoil conspiracy theories of 9/11 being an inside job? Oh right, there aren’t any. Idiots.

Assange is not a ‘traitor’ as many here have posted. He isn’t American.
Freedom of the press and freedom of speech is a joke in the US.
The US is about on a par with China.

Paranoia is nothing new with Palin or the right. Until her charges are proven by an independent source they are as believable as the Easter bunny. Sarah wants to be a martyr for the right so she can ignore the real issues in this country.

Assange is as much a journalist as any at the BBC. Remember that it was an unethical BBC “journalist” who exposed Dr David Kelly. Whether Assange would come to the same fate is still unknown, but the exposure of one of his Swedish accusers as linked to the CIA does not look good gor him.

O.K. so if I’m not an American, it’s still wrong for me to be UN American?
When did we vote America as our hegemony leader?

The Media needs to stop updating us on Sarah Palin. Its like the media has a high school crush on the pretty, but dump cheerleader. Hey guys, move on! She represents no one; and by simply promoting her, your deepen her pockets as she exploits her new found celebrity. BTW, John McCain needs to retire and fade away.

“Liberalism is truely a disease.” – JamesJ
Don’t say that James.
Imagine the Medicare costs for treating such a disease.
We’d all go broke.
Call it a condition.

“The Media needs to stop updating us on Sarah Palin. Its like the media has a high school crush on the pretty, but dump cheerleader. Hey guys, move on!” – Dan
I don’t know if the Media will listen Dan.
Look how they fawned all over Barack Obama and got that neophyte elected.
That High School Crush was so 08, good times (sigh).
Why would they change their ways?
Besides, reporting on Sarah Palin gives them at least a token chip in the unbiased and balanced News Game.

First, that’s a big word Marty, confused your audience. Secondly, nice to see our top attorney general Holden getting tough on these criminals. I do believe it’s illegal in most countries to hack personal financial information. However, it appears here in the great US of A, our political leaders are more concerned if you wore a condom or not. What needs to be done is have these hackers hack the Kerrys, Obamas, Bidens and Reids to see if the AG has any ba!!s. What a shame, all of the world afraid of a beautiful lady from Alaska.. Kind of reminds me of that really good looking guy from California that became President. Finally an American Patriot that is not afraid to speak their mind and believe in the American Dream..
You go Sarah, we love ya….

Karen you state that pfc mcmanning wouldnt have access to that much confidential info – he wasnt a pfc at the time. I don’t remember off hand but he had quite a bit higher position when he allegedly garnered this info. Besides he admitted to it.

Amazing how the radical left fears Palin. They say she is the dumbest person on the planet but they fear her. Palin calls them out on their socialist agenda. They have been trying to take her out for over two years and have failed. And seeing Palin with that hunting rifle in her hand scared the leftists even more.

Alec — I don’t think you get it. The American people are indignant and furious with both political parties. We’re sick and tired of the entitled, entrenched, arrogant elitists. Time for some basic common sense. Sarah’s got it.
I don’t, however, believe that she is seriously intent on becoming President in 2012. Eventually — but not 2012. She’s not doing what she needs to do to make that happen. I do want her to run for President. I want to hear her debate the serious issues facing our nation today, at least in the R Primaries. . .and because she needs to get some serious presidential campaign experience under her belt . . .for the future.
BTW — Palin did the RIGHT thing by stepping down as Governor of Alaska. The liberal left/Dems were out for blood. They absolutely intended — and proved it numerous times — to cripple the Palin family financially and innundate her with bogus, BS investigations and litigation. She KNEW she would not be capable — permitted– to function as Governor of Alaska. She loves Alaska — and the US — so she did the right thing FOR Alaska. She stepped down so that Alaska’s best interests could not be harmed b/c of the irrational political venom and fear of the leftists/liberals/progressives/socialists — whatever. Sarah is very smart.

Your all idiots. Sarah PAlin is the biggest idiot of all. Sure she’s smart. LOok at all the press she is getting.
No one has ever quit the Alaska governorship…but of course it didn’t pay as much as her new book. Smart you betcha. Knowledgeable on any topic of politics…NOT!

No, El Kabong — no other sane person thinks what you think.
Sarah Palin’s email was hacked a year+ ago. The Dem political hacker who did that is now in jail, deservedly so. It’s pretty obvious that whoever hacked the Palin’s personal data and credit card info were seeking dirt on Palin. . .in anticipation of the 2012 election.
Also, it was disgusting and CREEPY that some leftist “journalist” moved in next door to the Palin Family to “study” and monitor their daily activities. He did so with pen & paper . . .and video camera in hand. Now THAT “journalist” is a sick-in-the-head puppy. And, it goes to show just HOW SICK-in-the-head and desperate the left is to find anything on the obviously squeeky-clean Sarah Palin.
What did she do? She built a fence high enough so that the “journalist” could not video her little kids . . .and then she went on with her life.
CAN’T break Sarah Palin b/c her core values — and sense of purpose and self-worth — are healthy and strong.
As I recall, Sarah Palin did a GREAT job debating the serious issues facing our nation with Dem VP candidate Joe Biden in 2008, even though she’d only been on the scene for approximately a month.

Sarah supports our right to hasten the impending armageddon and return of Jesus by starting WW3…that’s why I support her. She knows that only by attacking Iran and getting the ball rolling on world destruction will all of us true believers and Real Americans be saved. It’s why deficits, “climate change” (ha…what a joke), trade imbalances, etc don’t matter.

To “Karen” @ 8:39 am — While I agree with what you, you might consider adding something to your name to distinguish between us. . .or I suppose I could do that. Just did. I’ll post as “KarenD.” :-)

“No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange’s antics”
Obviously we need a new definition of “others” or “silent”, that or Sarah Palin is full of crap.

Palin is nothing more than a political hack cashing in big time. Books, reality show..”I’d rather be here in Alaska than some stuffy office in Washington”….bull hockey. When McCain picked her as running mate, that told me all I needed to know about this dyed in the wool Neocon. And believe me, I’m no bleeding heart liberal, just can see the Princess for what she really is.

Great to see the former Aussie P.M has come to his sense’s and if providing support to Assange as is Just!!! Furthermore he has quite rightly come to say that the problem in ref to the leaking of these cables is America’s faut and its problem – one U.S citizen / army personel stole this information and will presumably be dealt with under U.S law . J Assange is an Australian citizen and has broken NO Aussie law or U.S law!!!
Palins calls (AMONGST OTHERS)to shoot him or have him shot are certainly something only some deranged and evil person would say or do!!! ABSOLUTELY APPALLING – & AND THIS FROM A SUPPOSED U.S LEADER !!!!

If the left didn’t fear them they would not be attacking Sarah Palin, Rush, Hannity. You go Sarah!

To the fake “KarenD” @ 9:07:39 & 9:07:45 — What– are you 15 years old . . .or. . .are you attempting, foolishly and childishly, to apply Sol Alinsky’s “mocking” Rules for Radicals. If so, I think that gig is up. Ain’t gonna work anymore, pal. ;-)

And another thing, buddy boy…just because Sarah believes in the end of the world, support of our biggest and best ally, Israel, and knows that Jesus Christ, our LORD AND SAVIOR is coming back to take all of us righteous Americans up to heaven with him, doesn’t make her bad. Iran and the Muslims don’t understand that they’re on the wrong side of this game. God is truly on our, AND SARAH’S, side!

Funny how so many are so ready to call Palin dumb etc. Yet if any of you had actually bothered to compare resumes between Obama and Palin back in 2008 you would be ashamed.

Karen, I guess Barack should step down now since the republicans are out for blood and plan to make him a one term president

Don’t forget, someone said “never let a crisis go to waste”. Shall we expect more government regulation of the internet now?
Whoever allowed Wikkileaks may have had a hidden motive.

I am a lefty. I have no absolutely fear of Sarah Palin, I just think she’s a self-promoting moron who has no idea how truly stupid she is. What I do have fear of are the masses of uneducated morons posting on this board who think Sarah Palin is the most wonderful thing since…well, herself.

Hmm . . . lets’ recap a few facts:
1. When Palin became Governor of Alaska, she immediately went after the entrenched Republicans in cahoots with the oil companies. Today, a chunk of them are in state prison wearing orange jump suits. The liberals loved her then. ;-)
2. As Governor, Sarah Palin enjoyed an 85%+ approval rating. Why? Because she was determined to DO what was in the best interest of Alaska instead of pander to either political party.
3. Sarah then went after the OIL companies, taking on EXXON and WINNING. Al their threats did not phase her one iota. She basically said to Exxon: “if you don’t like it, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Exxon caved . . .and the other oil companies sheepishly followed. Result: the Alaskan people prospered.
4. Palin also held an extremely high security clearance. As Gov. of Alaska, Palin commanded the ONLY full-time active duty Air National Guard INTERCEPTOR UNIT tasked with defending against “over-the-pole” Russian and Chinese incursions – 24/7/365. Sarah Palin received some of the MOST TOP SECRET briefings, frequently, from the Pentagon.
5. Sarah Palin IS very smart . . .and very courageous. And, most importantly, she can’t be bought or bullied. Now THAT is a feminist!
6. Sarah Palin stepped down as Governor of Alaska for another very serious reason: During her mere 2 years in office, Sarah Palin also negotiated a new approach to building a Natural Gas Pipeline (with Canada) which is CURRENTLY in the process of being the BIGGEST PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN THE . . .HISTORY . . .OR NORTH AMERICA.
She didn’t want THAT compromised by the petty, loser liberals out to bankrupt her family and humiliate and abuse her CHILDREN. Usually, the KIDS of politicians are “off limits.” The left is SO desperate — again, literally sick-in-the-head desperate — to harm Sarah, that they don’t even honor the recognized prohibition on attacking the CHILDREN of politicians. THAT is how deeply sick and venamous . . .and thus evil, the liberal/leftists have become especially as it pertains to Governor Sarah Palin.

I support Sarah Palin because she knows that children are our future. She teaches them well and lets them lead the way.
She shows them all the beauty they possess inside. In addition, she gives them a sense of pride to make it easier.
Let us let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be!

Marty,
If you are not an American, I’ll just bet your country relies upon America for protection. If you don’t appreciate that, or if you actually resent it, fine, we won’t protect you anymore. See how far you get. All these idiotic Europeans with their “hate America” attitudes — see how far you get without us, you knuckleheads. We aren’t doing a dadgummed thing wrong. When idiot jihadists flew jets into our buildings, we were attacked in a major way. We had a right to go after them, and we did. You’re the ones letting them take over your countries due to your doofus PC attitudes. What a bunch of dupes you are. Frankly, I’d rather not protect your ungrateful hides. All your women will be forced to wear burkas before long anyway. LOL!!! Rots of ruck with that, EU!

My comment should have been to StewBaby, not Marty. Sorry!

This will backfire on the 1st amendment terrorists. I know a number of people who will be donating to Sarah’s PAC just to spite these antifree speach hatemongers. I hope to see this Assange dude tried for espionage in the US. There is a death penalty for that crime. Of course Vladimir Putin may have a little radioactive sauce put in Assange’s Teapot. I state that I will have nothing to do with any plot against him. But he is what is known as a dead man walking.

Liberals distort Palin’s truth with lies. When she said, “There is an island in Alaska, from which you can see Russia.” The liberals changed it with Tina Fey’s interpetation to: “I can see Alaska from my front porch.”
When she misspoke after seven back to back interviews with an immediate correction of “North” to “South,” the liberal biased media again spread lies. Palin is highly intelligent with an amazing record as a Governor who achieved and had an 85% approval record, putting money from natural resources BACK into taxpayer’s pocket!
Go Palin! Liberals are idiots!

“putting money from natural resources BACK into taxpayer’s pocket!”
aka socialism

Yea Palin is so great. Thats why she quit as governor of Alaska. Real nice. Shes a quitter and people still back her. What a joke. I feel bad for what happened to her above. But as far as a person, shes a joke nothing more…

In her brief stint as governor, I can guarantee you she didn’t have a single thought about Russia. She was too busy spending your tax dollars.
Alaska is a welfare state! For every $1.00 they pay in federal taxes they get back $1.84. It means that liberal states like New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts subsidized Sarah’s spending spree.

As I often say, it’s all about Christianity vs. Islam: Crusades Part Two. We’re in a religious war and need to expand our efforts to smoke ‘em out of their holes; cost be damned.

World would be a better place with more Palin, less Wikileak.

That’s odd, So the “hackers” attack Palin and not the guys in this administration who want to control the internet and kjeep you from getting any kind of information that doesn’t come out of Obama Central? Makes you wonder just how bogus this all is doesn’t it? Or, if you’re a “Pasvlov dog” meaning democrat/lib/prog/commie/Marxist loon you’ll blame Sara! We got the food control bill passed just after all the news about all those tainted burgers getting 5 people ill, and the dems have been on that “Net Neutrality” kick for a few years. Funny how impotent Obama is and how powerful Palin is to the left.

Palin has got to go. Thanks to politicians like her, in the international eyes, we’re not looking much better.

Sarah Plain is NOT a regular person–she’s a millionaire. She’s positivley LOADED, and getting more so by the second thanks to people snapping-up her book, her huge speaking fees, and her television appearances. In the same way that some folks could take a President born in Connecticut, educated at Harvard and Yale, son of a President, and grandson of a Connecticut Senator and call him a cowboy. YEAH, RIGHT. This is not June Cleaver, or even Rosanne. This is a woman who fleeced the RNC for a wardrobe and gave it back only when caught. Liberal media lies? Ask McCain and his staff, the SANE republicans who were stuck putting up with her diva-of-the-tundra bunk. This is Peg Bundy with a MASSIVE chip on her shoulder and a vastly over-inflated sense of her own skills.
As for her valuable experience being Governor of Alaska, ALASKA HAS A SMALLER POPULATION THAN MILWAUKEE COUNTY! In statistics, the smaller the sample size, the higher the probability that you’ll get an oddball result, and boy, what an odball result.
And all this “we’ll get you” talk from conservatives is a BLAST. After you’ve finished your little Glen Beck crying sessions, come on over, and I’ll give you the welcome that decent, working people all across this country have been dying to give you ever sice your shrill, pathetic, FAKE patriotism started crowding ACTUAL NEWS of the airways.

Another pathetic Palin attempt to get -even more- media attention.

I think the WIKI LEAKS situation is interesting. Julian has shown the world that the Obama REGIME is totally corrupt, lacking in morals, demeaning to other governments, and a money wasting communist cell. Although Julian is in a mess, thanks for making the entire world aware of this corruption.

Intelligent women like me are behind you, Sarah! We love you. You’re the toughest, most honest politician out there. Why are these ignorant, armchair socialists so terrified of, and fascinated by, you? They can’t recognize a hero when they see one. Don’t let the ********** get you and your wonderful family down!

It figure an ABC post, (American Barack
Channel)would be loaded with Palin haters.

“The fact that Palin has exercised her free speech in debunking the Wikileak criminals…”
Well I suppose that ‘fact’ really depends on what sort of glasses you’re wearing this morning. Through mine, it’s clear that she’s trying to hide behind ‘free speech’ in order to inhibit the free speech of others.
What ever happened to the premise, “My right to swing my fist as much as I want ends where another man’s nose begins”? She can say whatever she wants about how terrible Wikileaks and its supporters are. But the moment she starts advocating the cessation of THEIR free speech, that’s where she’s crossed the line.
Make no mistake, I wouldn’t condone the extent of the web’s reaction as it spreads to illegal access to credit cards and whatnot. But I do agree with the spirit of the effort against her, which is, “Don’t try to inhibit our right to express ourselves, our ideas, and the free flow of information”

“She did good to bring formerly uninterested parties to the electorate, however, the Palin experiment has boiled over.” – Alec

“Are we scared of you? Not so much scared as really ticked-off. Imagine if a QB played only a couple of games, might have actually cost his team through some bad decisions,” – MilwaukeeMike
MilwaukeeMike, no need to harp on NoBo’s inexperience, he’s getting a lot of life lessons now. Just pray it isn’t too little too late.

These cyber-criminals targeting legitimate businesses and private citizens should be taken down – and hard. What a gives a bunch of hackers the right to target whoever they chose without consequences, just because they “support” Wikileaks and Assange?
Those of you attacking the Palins ought to be ashamed of yourselves; that is, if you are capable of shame. I have never seen a worse hatchet job on a upstanding and private citizen in my life – and this writer has seen some nasty politics in his time. What is being done to them is way over the line, beyond the pale. Hacking a private person’s credit card records, becuase you dislike their politics?
This psych-ops attack shows all the hallmarks of the kind of thing Obama’s communist supporters would do. If we still have functioning law enforcement agencies in this country, they’d better get to work on this. It’s gotten way out of hand.

I’VE FIGURED THIS WHOLE THING OUT:
If Palin’s so qualified, who might be even better?
It would have to be somebody with comperable leadership experience. Let’s say somebody like a former mayor of Cleveland, since ALASKA’S POPULATION IS ONLY SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN CLEVELAND.
I suppose Sarah has a lot of TV experience, some of it really goofy and tastless. In order to find a more qualified candidate, we’d have to find somebody with an even longer TV resume, since doing TV shows now counts as “experience” somehow.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, I GIVE YOU: JERRY SPRINGER FOR PRESIDENT!!!
It’s perfect–I’ve watched his show a few times, and it looks like he communicates very well with the type of people who typically support Palin. At least he’ll put a stop to any chair throwing, which is more than I can say for the Tea Party folks.

Hey Sarah…you’re being played like a violin. Assange is just the marionette. Take two guesses who’s really…I mean REALLY suppling all this anti-US information, and no , it isn’t the buck private sitting in the brig.
This is EXACTLY why I said were are all doomed back in early November, on a Tuesday evening in 2008.

“we’d have to find somebody with an even longer TV resume, since doing TV shows now counts as “experience” somehow.” – MilwaukeeMike
Ah, so that’s why Obama is on TV so much.
He’s gaining much needed experience.
Thanks for the explanation Mike.

First off, if you think Obama has done a poor job so far (which he has) I assure you Palin would be equally as bad if not worse.
She has no idea of monetary policy, foreign policy, half the stuff she says is ridiculous and I severely doubt her understanding of the constitution. She hijacked the Tea Party which should be named the “rich white old people party” and promotes fear and warmongering.
I am a Conservative. Something that the Republican party has drifted away from.
I could care less if gay people get married… I’m not gay so that doesn’t matter to me. I think drugs should be legalized. The way I see it if my daughter becomes a druggie I failed as a parent. I believe in Jesus Christ but I don’t want him in our government. I KNOW the war in Iraq is a sham. If you can’t admit that then your just being blind. I’m pro-life and pro-choice (depending the circumstances). Also I’m a member of the NRA. I pay ALL of my taxes and am willing to pay more taxes to get this country back on track. I support Wikipedia because they picked up where the popular new media has failed. Finally I am against the Patriot Act because it is unconstitutional.

Sarah Palin has strength of character. She is not afraid to stand up for righteousness, to speak out against what is wrong. Her personal integrity is what we need in leadership. Our government is infested with too many lacking in what Sarah has. That is why she is hated. She will not go along to get along with corruption.

If you want to get a rise out of the left and have them show you their best intellectual means of coping then this is probably as good a example as any. Communist always talk about equality, as long as they approve of what you have to say and when you say it. They are the ultimate control freaks and they are now demonstrating to the world just how they will make a mess of anything that has the ability to keep them from the agenda of chaos and use it to control the masses(their words).
The communist axiom is
simple, “Communist always lie.” but you can throw in cheat and steal for yucks, they want what you have no matter how hard you worked for it.

Sarah Palin is the true voice of the REAL AMERICANS!
Anybody who tries to silence her is just a Communist, Socialist, NObama worshipping anti-American.
Shame on that traitor, Moslem loving, anti-american, albino freak Julian Assange. How dare he try to take down the one American who truly can lead the United States to Salvation!

“I could care less if gay people get married” – NewAmerica
Gay people cannot get Married because Marriage is a union between a man and a woman.
The term you want to use is Garriage.
Garriage is the union of two people of the same sex.
Gay people can get Garried and that’s OK with me.
Two different things, two different words.

Really — you support that type of active attack on any website merely because the author of the website disagrees with you? That IS what you are saying.
The Wikileaks disclosure of secret and highly sensitive data and information — by a foreign national — is obviously an act of espionage. You don’t really draw any lines in the sand, do you Fritzi? Everything is fair game . . .except most likely if it affects you personally.
I’m assuming you are not an American. If not, I “get” your distain for the US. That’s very “European” of you . . .until, of course, the next time your country’s foolish, appeasing policies turn your country into a poverty stricken, bomb-leveled piece of property. Oh THEN you’ll like us and want us to bail you out — both physically and economically — and we WILL but that IS who we Americans are.
We believe in doing what’s right and we believe in protecting the world — literally preserving it and making is SAFE for democracy and YOUR freedom, and most liberal Americans, to trash the USA.

Palin is just another political pawn, just like Obama. Bravo for getting caught up in the charade and not realizing that she was saving face for her next political career move. Assange should be released and given a medal. The government thinks we’re all too stupid to handle their truths.
We need someone like Assange to expose corporations and governments to let them know that the power of the people still exists, and that we aren’t all just mindless sheep.
Palin, like all the other politicians, is scared that the house of cards is going to fall if and when the American People wake up and realize whats been going on.
She publicly condemned Assange and compared him to Al Qaeda for free speech, a comparison that is grossly misused. If she were in a position of power she probably would start an anti-terrorist campaign against him just to look good to her supporters.
Assange’s sources within America may be the most patriotic Americans alive, protecting and upholding our constitution from enemies both >domestic< and foreign.
By saying Assange should stop what he's doing and be taken down you're also saying you prefer to have your government continue to tell lies and manipulate the media so you can continue living an oblivious life thinking our government is comprised of saints.

“Intelligent Sarah Palin supporters” is an oxymoron.
And when oh when will will the world get the Right to Free Speech straight?
This is a constitutional right that protects citizens from GOVERNMENTAL intrusion. It doesn’t grant one immunity from the reaction and response of the rest of the world to whatever one chooses to utter, as both Sarah Palin, and Julian Assagne, are finding out.

Colleen Rowley says the Iraq War could have been prevented if WikiLeaks had released info then and maybe even 911…. SEE Raw Story.
SARA Palin doesn’t believe in the FIRST Amendment…? Everything America stands for? Sure heck, Yeah I’ll vote for her. Sarcasm.

Yeah she should run in 2012…for China. She’d be welcome there. No Freedom to lose.

Sara Palin is a NEO con and has been exposed as one…when she sounds like Liberman, it’s over!! You’re all in denial just cause you think she’s pretty. But she’s not a movie star.She’s an idiot who doesn’t even believe in the constitution of the United STATES. She is not a tea partier if she’s willing to turn on this fundamental right.

Sara Palin called for Julian Assange to be hunted down like Bin Laden…
You’re in denial if you think that is Freedom. That is to scare anyone who wants to tell the truth, even though it wasn’t Assange who downloaded those documents from the pentagon. He was given them from an insider.

I was informed by her own comments…I judged her by what she said.
She is NOT a tea partier and she DOESN’T understand the constitution.
She’s an attention grabbing money grubbing opportunistic idiot.

Hey I wasn’t into Obama either. I don’t care about stupid left/right paradigms. I watch what these money grubbing politicians do.
Sarah Palin just exposed herself as another politician who does what she thinks is popular, not right. She has no real inner guide…money is her inner compass. She’s a shallow twit.

You’re an embarrassment to all American women, Sarah. You quit your job as governor so you could sit on Facebook all day. Disgraceful and irresponsible.

Anyhow, I really hope she runs on the head ticket this year and becomes our
First Woman President Ever…
my next choice would be for H.Clinton
or Dr.Rice
O was hoping she would of ran under mccain…oh well we will all see in 2012
anything gots to better than no experience person in office……I do hope obama the best…its a tough job-he needs to get read of all those loser iinfluences around him

Unbelievable the amount of Palin bashing here. People keep churning it out, which is beside the article’s point. No one can bash her substantively. She was logical in executive management performed in Alaska – keeping the state budget in order (exemplifying executive skills long before [o]bama was vacant for any senate vote…hmmm). Nor can they bash her American foundational vision that she identified while running for vice president (make perfect sense to bash American values here…right!?) So…the bashers have to attack her personally. Man, doesn’t that just reak with virtue, truth and accountability, huh?

Yea, i agree with this fully

I don’t believe it would be wiki leaks or the hacking story to be true. Palin is a megalomaniac among other psychological disorders and she has to interject herself into events that are getting more attention than she is. She has a persecution complex and I really think the Palin media machine made this stuff up. If she really has the strength of character her kool aid drinking supporters think she has she would not be constantly whining about be treated unfairly. Strong character more likely she is. (as in cartoon character.)

Excuse me Silly me
obama did all the crying about his family
did you forget…
u must only watch cnn….

to ccccc
I wasn’t talking about who else was whining – I was talking about Palin’s whining – you have no idea my politics nor did I state them. Check your baggage at the door, and get the Palin type chip off your shoulder.

Whatever I think of Assange broadcasting information, my first clue as to his character is that he stole this information and published it without the permission of the person or organization that he got it from. Where I come from that is theft. I do want to know what the government is up to, but this is not the way. The means do not justify the end. And as far as the Sarah Palin bashing – you don’t kick a dead horse. And she is alive and kickin’.

summer2012
aka cccc?

wrong is wrong. Going into Sarah’s personal information is wrong.
They should try hacking Obama’s birth certificate, high school/college grades, year books etc..lets do something constructive.

“Intelligent women like me are behind you, Sarah! We love you. You’re the toughest, most honest politician out there.”
@ Erin: Sarah Palin is not a politician

@ summer 2012..Yeah, summer..she sold out Alaska and ran after the almighty dollar.
Surem summer..Palin has a huge following of idiots..So did hitler.

WOW. So you don’t have to be a liberal to hate Sarah Palin.

Just out of curiosity, why do hate Palin so much? And please don’t respond with personal attacks like she wants too much attention and so on. Give me something concrete, not a rumour or what has been twisted by the media.

Kat, the reason Palin is attacked so much is due to the media who saw her reinvigorate the Republican Party when McCain picked her as his VP. She is in direct opposition to the agenda of a very liberal media and therefore a major threat to them. The people who attack her and insult her, such as on these blogs, are simply victims of the media’s soundbites and personal attacks against her and believe she is evil simply by what the media infers. Notice that the media never attacks the issues she stands for because she is so strongly pro-American and right-on with the American public which tends to be conservative.

I think Palin is hated also because she is a self-professing Christian. So people want to see hypocrisy in her either as proof that God does not exist, or that she is a hypocrite and liar. Who would you rather be in a foxhole with – a true Christian who values what God values – or a secularist who is out for self-preservation only? I know a lot of people who are not Christians who do many good things – but a true Christian treats others as they would want to be treated. I am not saying I know for sure Palin is a Christian, I don’t – but the media is all over Christianity to portray it as evil. But that is to be expected.

Governor Palin resigned to save taxpayers money when liberals resorted to frivolous litigation of which she was completely exonerated. Yes, she makes money and I’m happy for her! Only liberals buy into class warfare as they are the entitlement mentality. In America, the American dream means opportunity, hard work, ethics, and entrepreneurship. Liberals are what’s wrong with America. Palin represents what’s right with America. She understands the constitution and the Bill of Rights protect the individual against government control!

What do you get when you put lipstick on white trash — Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin has the intellect of a blow-up doll. Sometimes i’m amazed that she is capable of performing such simplistic tasks as personal hygiene without assistance. The unfortunate thing is that her sheer stupidity hasn’t impeded her ability to type. However, the fact that anyone reads her blithering drivel seems to reflect the disturbing truth that there exists a demographic in America which is perfectly content to wallow in the cognitive equivalent of a pitch-black basement.
Sarah Palin is not an expert. On anything. Perhaps tying her shoes this morning was a huge personal triumph–and far be it from me to disparage the tiny victories–but it certainly isn’t grounds to consider oneself an expert on information security.

That is absolutely correct. Sarah Bin Palin is dumb as dirt and is lucky if she has an 85 IQ. The fact that you support her demonstrated that you also have a low IQ and lack discernment. If you support Palin,you are a poor judge of character and nothing you say can be taken seriously. In fact, everything you say or post is irrelevant and cannot be trusted. Supporting Palin is like calling Hitler a good man.

mmmm…let’s see. What makes us think that Sarah Palin is stupid? LOL. If you don’t know the answer to that question, you are probably even more stupid than Palin is. Maybe because she completely lacks intellectual curiosity. Or maybe it is the fact that the woman could not even come up with one magazine or periodical that she has read. Maybe because everything this woman says is stupid and is motivated by hate and shame and anger. Palin is the champion of the stupid, the abused, and those that falsely believe that they are “victims” of the US government. Let Sarah Bin Palin submit to an IQ test for the all the world to see and then we can settle this question once and for all. Most Palin supporters also believe that Obama was not born in the USA, even though his birth certificate has been all over the net and the TV since the time of his campaign. Stupid people cling to stupid lies. Why? Because they are stupid and they get emotionally attached to certain ideas..even if the ideas are proven false.

If Palin decided to run for president I would vote for her if for no other reason that liberals hate her and are fearful that she might get elected and get this country back on track and away from the socialist state we have become.

The 2012 election will be between Clinton & Palin. God help us if get another Obama/Clinton.

suppose she actually read the wikileaks and researched what she said(lol).does she know american govnmt rejected the chance to filter names out!?

As Saul Alinsky, the Marxist mentor to Barack Obama, teaches radicals to do…”Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.” That’s what the left has done with Sarah Palin. They continually attack her and some weak minded people believe them. Even Sarah getting hacked is okay with the left. Where’s the ACLU!?

What do the libs fear the most?
Being ignored…

Palin is stupid because she doesn’t realize that by speaking out about Wikileaks she not only supported censorship but she denies the basic freedom of speech and expression. She has continually shown lack of knowledge on so many issues it’s hard to keep count.

@ befree: “She’s an idiot who doesn’t even believe in the constitution of the United STATES. She is not a tea partier if she’s willing to turn on this fundamental right. ” Interesting that you seem to know that Palin is an idiot which is defined as person with a mental age of 3 and a IQ under 25. I guess that means you are a qualified psychologist who has administered the proper tests to Mrs. Palin to render that diagnosis? As to your claim that she doesn’t believe in the Constitution of the United States…prove it if you can. You would have less difficulty proving that statement if you were talking about Obama, a man who has been mentored by american hating radicals.

Sara Palin can’t have her Tea Party because there are too many cracked pots.

Wow. Reading the comments section of these articles is so depressing. Like watching a bunch of 9 year old kids having a “discussion”. Anonymity makes us all mean and stupid, doesn’t it? It’s pathetic.

If one has a problem with Sarah Palin’s ideas then counter them. But that’s not the tactic of the Left. Because they cannot prevail in the marketplace of ideas, these small-minded people must slander, smear and attack her reputation, threaten her and her family physically. This woman and her family have been the object of so much hate that she seems to have unbelieveable inner strength. Some of the high-flying hypocrites on this thread who say she or the Tea Party folks lack an understanding of the Constitution would do well to investigate polls relating to the matter. They will find the truth to be quite to the contrary.

The small minded conservative haters should take a moment from their nonsensical rants to think about how they would like it if their family was constantly being harassed like the Palins. Sarah Palin grows stronger and is a class act with each effort made to demean her.

I can not stand Sarah Palin, she def needs to stay in Alaska as mr.s Bush has suggested, however, I am as liberal as they come and I condemn what these people have done not only to Ms. Palin, but to our great and wonderful country as well. I hope everyone who has had anything to do with these ” leaks ” and hacks are caught and get a very long jail term.

We use to be the greatest country in the world. And now look at us! Just finished reading many of these comments and now realize we are a country of selfish idiots! Many of you who have posted comments don’t have a clue about what made this country so great. Your parents and grandparents built this country and now all you want to do is tear it down. We don’t have to all agree with each other but why do you stoop so low and call people names just because you don’t believe in their beliefs? If we don’t change, we are going to destroy ourselves and our country and we will be a third world that nobody gives a crap about. Wake up people! We are our own worst enemy!

I believe in the ‘Rule of Law’. Laws MEAN something. You break the law, you go to jail! Why is it OK to hack the Palin’s credit card information because someone got arrested for rape?
Where I come from, rape is bad…..

As usual everyone assumes things they don’t know, jump on the bandwagon as authorities on any given subject.
If infact someone hacked into Palin’s computer they were not expert hackers because Palin nor her experts would have known until all her information was stolen and out there for all.
Palin assumes Assunge or his people came after her because, she wants the public to believe it and to think only Sarah had harsh words for Assunge and nobody else had a word to say as the rest of us were to frightened to speak a word aganist Assange.
Assunge according to Sarah felt so threatened he came after ‘the only true American’ but not to worry old Sarah will save the rest of us.
No matter who you are, nobody has a right to hack your computer, take your personal information and those who do should do jail time. But we, unlike Sarah cannot point a finger at any one person with not an iota of proof and claim this is the hacker.
We do after all still live in America and though Palin does not consider most of us real Americans, we are, and we go on fact not rumor and fiction as Palin constantly does.

@Ted…I think you looked in the mirror when you talked about people having a following…

“WOW. So you don’t have to be a liberal to hate Sarah Palin.” – jeanne021556
Nah, just intellectually lacking.
Hey, I slam NoBo all the time and rightfully so but I don’t hate the man.

After watching all the US government classified material be printed in public by the Obama White House endorser – The NY Times, and after watching the President and his A G Holder speak about their handling of is — it could be that they actually embrace what is happening and have no intention of stopping it, or prosecuting those who are doing it.

There’s nothing wrong with Wikileaks; People within wikileaks are leaving because they understand the difference.
I’m all for whistle blowing, but Assange is not doing that.
Whistle blowing is saying something like, “Soldiers bombed a school of kids to kill on terrorist.”
Whistleblowing is not like,
“Here’s a list of all American supporters in Iraq. Have fun, Taliban.”
Assange is not whistleblowing or acting on first amendment rights. Assange is releasing information detrimental to our allies in Iraq for the sole purpose of hindering activity in Iraq. That is not whistleblowing, that is tactical counter-spying.
He should be treated as a spy for the Taliban.
Until the public and media understand the difference, it’s not safe to allow this leader to continue.
Again, there’s nothing wrong with Wikileaks; People within wikileaks are leaving because they understand the difference.

Whistle blowing is esposing american drug companies for killing children in “experiments” in 3rd world countries.
