Palin’s E-Mail Account Hacked, Published on Web Site
FOX NEWS ^ | September 17, 2008 | FOXNews.com

In the latest of a series of invasions into Sarah Palin’s personal life, hackers have broken into the Republican vice presidential candidate’s private e-mail account, and a widely read Web site has published screen grabs from it.

An article Wednesday in Gawker.com posts family photos and snapshots of e-mail exchanges the Alaska governor had with colleagues. Gawker says the-email account has since been shut down, but it will leave the images up on its site for all to see.

“Here are the screenshots of the emails saved before the account went dark, along with the contact list. It’s newsworthy and we will not be taking it down!” the site declares.

Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain, released a statement calling the publication a “shocking invasion of the governor’s privacy and a violation of law.”

“The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them. We will have no further comment,” Davis said.

Trace this back far enough and I guarantee you that you’ll find ties to the Obama campaign.

OK. It’s now public knowledge.

I would say that we then drop it, and let the authorities do their work, with out the MSM following them around screwing things up.

Believe me, Justice is much better served when there’s not a 3-ring circus of MSM reporters around.

Let the Feds get their act together, and go after those violating the law.

Act like we are confident this will be pursued properly, according to law, and McCain/Palin go back to discussing the important issues to this country.

“So, they hack into her account the juiciest email they could post was someone saying and asking for prayers and family photos?”

Yeah.

And ‘they’ don’t get the message, even though they were reading her messages.

How IRONIC!

Sarah Palin’s treatment is beyond belief now, there is nothing in Presidential politics to rival it since the media lynching of Richard Nixon. Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas were subject to similar treatment.

I would immediately file suit against the website that published the emails for all the money available. Put them out of business.

If Obama had one ounce of decency, he would tell his supporters to cease this treatment of Gov Palin. But he does not.

This is the most disgusting display of gutter politics I have ever seen. The democrats would destroy our political system in order to elect their marxist candidate. Why would anyone in their right mind put up with this sh**?

“They’ll only end up with blowback for this desperate act of invasion.”

That’s what I heard Obama say he wanted.

Some of his blow back.

There is no way to determine when/if any damaging information will be released. The thiefs may have had a deal to turn the info directly over to the BHO campaign and in return they get safe haven. BHO holds the info for one or multiple damaging disclosures in October.

You mean like a week back?

When Obama sent a para-military hit squad of MSM and Lawyers to Alaska?

Above his pay grade.

I would think the websites that allowed the info to be posted, without immediately pulling the thread should be prosecuted, as well.

9/17/08 What Has Obama Really Inspired?

http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=30635
Hillary Clinton Forum

As I watched today’s events...the hacking of Palin’s email and then the hacking of Greta’s poll...I find myself asking, “What has Obama inspired?” And only one word comes to mind...Lawlessness. From the thuggery of the caucuses, the personal intimidation so many of us faced daily just for wearing a Hillary button..to today’s events, it is becoming increasingly clear that an Obama victory will be a victory for mob-rule...or more bluntly, four years of thug-life. I am NOT saying Obama either did these things that have occurred or told anyone to do these things. But, the fact remains, this is what HE has inspired...and NEVER a word admonishing any of it.

America,
Is this REALLY the change you want? Is this really the change you can BELIEVE in?
