And I am only joking. Kind of. Well, maybe not.

I won't believe this is a conservative who did this until they have someone in custody and an extensive history proving it. Here is why:

1.) Hacking and virus creation is vandalism. Vandalism is the sole province of immature people and liberals, which is redundant.

2.) As described repeatedly by Ann Coulter in her books, and reinforced in her most recent book Demonic, political violence in American history is exclusively the tool and the work of the Left. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, political violence is carried out by the mentally ill or Leftists, again, the redundancy.

3.) The Klu Klux Klan was an organization of Leftists. The segregationists were Leftists. Anytime you hear about a noose on a lawn, vandalism against leftists or racial slurs, it turns out to be leftists themselves who do it for political or personal reasons.

Bottom Line: It is possible that a conservative or a group of conservatives did this to the Fox News Twitter account. But to me, the most likely explanation is that a liberal at Fox News who had the password used it themselves, gave it to someone else deliberately, or was lax in the use of the password and had it filmed with a cellphone in the process of being entered or wrote it down in a non-secure document.

The people who did it have already been boasting about being part of or followers of Anonymous, the recently disbanded hacker group which was composed entirely of anarchists and radical leftists.

I can’t see any reason a “conservative” would do this, and I don’t think the hackers expected anyone to think that it had been done by conservatives. They simply want to ridicule and single out conservatives; this was just another form of assault.

Agreed, but there's also possibility that it was found using some password script. One thing about large organizations is that if many people from many different groups need access to the same account (like a twitter account) the password is often simple, seldom changed, and far too easily provided to non-authorized users.

Fully agree though, that it's going to be found to be a small group of kids with short-sighted liberal beliefs behind it. And I expect one of them will be in the Ohio town where the restaurant resides.

Minor correction for my prev post... the restaurant is in Iowa. I think one of the hackers will have been a customer.

Ross's... 430 14th St, Bettendorf, IA.
Apparently he was there a couple days ago ordering 4 "Magic Mountain" sandwiches which no doubt Michelle would find quite distressing.

The Klu Klux Klan was an organization of Leftists?

There really have been three Klans, the post-Civil Wat Klan, the Klan of the 1920s and the Klan of the 1960s.

All were segregationist, anti-federal government, terrorist organizations, certainly not a liberal political group.

Please help us understand your reasoning here.
