What about you, Paul? Do you deduct your magic spice underwear?

An anonymous hacking group claims to have stolen Mitt Romney's tax returns from financial services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). PWC denies that there has been any unauthorized access to Mitt Romney or wife Ann's tax information and that any of their systems have been breached.
The hacking group sent thumb drives that supposedly contained copies of the returns to the Democratic and Republican county offices in Nashville Tennessee, as well as PWC. The Nashville city paper was among the first to report on the hacking incident.
The group announced their demands on Pastebin, a tool that is used by coders to share code, and has been used by hacking groups in the past to announce hacking "projects." The group demanded one million dollars in Bitcoins, a digital currency that has little government oversight and allows for some level of anonymity.
Both PWC and the Republican county office say they are working with the Secret Service to discover who is behind the extortion attempt. The Secret Service has not commented on whether the tax return documents are legitimate. PWC did prepare Romney's taxes in 2010, but there is no indication of whether they had prepared previous years returns, or whether those returns would be vulnerable to a remote computer attack.
Romney has released his 2010 and 2011 tax returns. It is possible that this is an attempt at what is known as "predictable response" - the attackers are hoping the recipients of the thumb drive will plug the drive into their computer to see if the files are legitimate. A trojan is then downloaded, giving the attackers full access to the recipients hard drive. Both the Republican and Democratic county offices claim they did not open the files.
Larry “The Scrotum” Flynt has offered to buy them for a million bucks. I guess now we’ll see if this is true.
Big deal. I’m the Lindberg baby.
He’s also offered one million for Obama’s college records.
Now which do you think would be more damning?
“As religious articles are tax deductible, I assume the IRS considers Mormonism a religion, wonder if he used it for his magic underwear.”

Nothing like seeing, on a Sunday afternoon, attacks/snide remarks on a religion whose members are probably the most conservative, most Republican of any of the religious groups in America.
Way to go, I’m sure Ronald Reagan would be very proud of you.
Maybe they could find time to steal us a title to some oceanfront property in Nebraska.
“Way to go, I’m sure Ronald Reagan would be very proud of you.”
He wouldn’t care; he’d attack Reagan’s wife for practicing astrology.
How could the USSS do that, unless they have the key, or the NSA's computers are more powerful than previously thought?
The Disgrace, Bill Clinton and his Debauched WINO, Hellary, donated Bill’s magic underwear to charity to took a deduction.
What about you, Paul? Do you deduct your magic spice underwear?
Romney campaign should release various bogus tax returns that flood “the market” if some hacker comes up with their own.
So, just go ahead and vote for Obama. This country doesn’t need you anyway.
About as much as they need you.
Imagine this happening to dear leader.
Why is it so hard to understand that the next President will be one of two people? Obama or Romney.
It was incredibly naive of Romney to think he could keep his returns private. It’s like he is unaware of what scum bags he’s dealing with.
I wish they could both lose. Since that’s not possible I hope Barry loses more.
Damn, beats me? All some can do is worry about idiotic legends of the magic underwear and other pot shots not to advance the state of our country. If that is their version of a productive argument, then the rules of assumptions are on full display for this so-called learned individual.
The reality is we can start taking pot shots at every Christian religious faith and its iterations but that is not where the imminent danger is centered on our future existence. If one cannot generate enough neurons to compel a cogent argument on the dangers that face us, then damned right I don't need their childish sniping and neither does anyone else who takes seriously they are supposed to be an adult.
Old news and disputed out right by PWC...so what’s your point???
At least we know Romney isn’t a muzzie.
