'Anonymous Conservative' Hacks Iowa Caucus Over Palin Trump Endorsement
ibt ^ | 1-25-2015 | JESS MCHUGH

Posted on 01/25/2016 12:33:34 PM PST by Citizen Zed

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.

ANOTHER rousing Trump endorsement!

He just keeps racking them up.

If they really hate Trump, they'd be much better off keeping their pie-holes shut.

Group? Let’s get real here. Can you really imagine any Conservative adopting the Anonymous mask? More to the point, can you imagine any Conservative trashing the Iowa Caucus website?

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

Perhaps those who recently got the zot, some of them appeared to have some real mental health issues.

Cruz was quite happy with Palin’s endorsement of his Senate run.

In fact, Cruz said Palin was the reason he won.

No legitimate conservative group would ever say such a thing. This sounds like it's coming from that anti-FR group that calls itself "Consistent Conservative". Bunch of cry babies.

Surely everyone on this board can see that.

Over / under for knotted knickers post count blaming Cruz (or Trump) is 40 posts.

Obviously that Palin endorsement meant nothing, and the real hotness is that Beck-n-Perry stamp of approval!

What a bunch of babies.

Yup. Thinking the same thing. These people will do anything to win. Don’t put anything past them.
