'Anonymous Conservative' Hacks Iowa Caucus Over Palin Trump Endorsement

A group calling itself Anonymous Conservative hacked the 2016 Iowa Caucus website Monday, posting a manifesto on its front page. The cyberattack was in response to former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's endorsement of GOP front-runner Donald Trump last week.

"The recent endorsement of Donald Trump by Sarah Palin is the final straw for our organization, The Anonymous Conservative," read an announcement posted to the Iowa caucus website. "Every good Conservative knows that Sarah Palin is a national embarrassment and she represents everything that is wrong with America," read the statement, allegedly from the hacktivist group.

It was not immediately clear what, if any, affiliation the group had with the cyberactivist group known as Anonymous, which has looked to support the Black Lives Matter movement and to expose alleged Ku Klux Klan members, among other social justice causes.

This is a Leftist false flag operation. They’re trying to stir up trouble.

Sad that you would even have to point that out

can’t quite figure this one out. are they P.O.ed because “national embarrassment” Sara Palin endorsed Trump because they think it will help Trump or hurt Trump who they apparentlhy hate, or because “national embarrassment” Sara Palin did NOT endorse Cruz?

Wow! What a**holes! Just leave if you don’t like the company here. Gee whiz, nobody’s going to agree with you 100% of the time. Maybe they would be happier over at NRO.
