The website and personal credit card information of former Gov. Sarah Palin were cyber-attacked today by Wikileaks supporters, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate tells ABC News in an email.
Hackers in London apparently affiliated with “Operation Payback” – a group of supporters of Julian Assange and Wikileaks – have tried to shut down SarahPac and have disrupted Sarah and Todd Palin’s personal credit card accounts.
“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.”
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?...Assange is not a 'journalist' any more than the 'editor' of al-Qaeda's new English-language magazine Inspire is a 'journalist.’ He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands."
Added SarahPAC aide Rebecca Mansour, “the governor voiced her opinion knowing full well that she was speaking out against a shady disreputable organization with no regard for laws or human life. This is how they operate. The world should not be intimidated by them.”

These guys are really stupid.
The Left will be celebrating...
You bet they are - and totally obnoxious, too.
That FEAR is a mutha, folks. While all the other GOP clowns attend $1,000 a plate dinners and schmooze with big donors and special-interests, Sarah is taking the fight to the enemy. More proof that Sarah needs to be President in 2013.
The bastards!
By the way, where was our government when the first leaks came out? What did they do about them, besides locking up Manning?
words fail me. Manning should be courtmarshalled and stood against a wall, Assange should be waterboarded until he gives up what we need, then stand him against a wall, too.
so this would confirm then that these folks are allies of the Obama admin or at least the Dem establishment. No?
I hope they leave FR alone.
“By the way, where was our government when the first leaks came out? What did they do about them, besides locking up Manning?”
Well, they complained, which is what liberals do best.
So Julian Assange and Wikileaks geeks are trying to shut down people who dare criticize them?
Assange isn’t anarchist like he thinks he is. He is a Cyber -Fascist.
Sarah Palin is not afraid of Wikileaks, the Left, GOP, DNC, LSM, or anyone. This lady fights!
Sarah 2012
Exactly, Sarah fights hard and takes the risks while the other wimpy so called conservatives sit around with a thumb in both ends.
Berkley City Council is going to give Manning an award. I think that tells us all we need to know.
They should find the bastards who did this and hang em, yeah I said it!
I don’t see any investigation from the Holder controlled Justice Department.
If Sarah were president, these guys would be sitting in cells!!
Factually incorrect. These so-called hacktivists are targeting VISA and Mastercard themselves because they both backed out of supporting Wikileaks. As I post this, VISA’s website is down and Mastercard’s is loading slow. SO, they’re not targeting the Palin’s, although Jacob Tapper would like to think so, they’re targeting anyone who has accounts at VISA and Mastercard which includes these liberal bastards who are supporting this sort of online foolishness.
