My stomach actually became upset when I read this.
Our resident trolls will praise whoever was responsible for this use of liberal tactics.
If I were Norm Coleman or one of his contributors, I'd want to stick a 10 gauge up his/her (most probably "their") ass and pull the freaking trigger!
Of course, he/she, they would probably like it at first.
I'd just tell the judge it was rough-sex and plead innocent.
Incorrect, of course. I would not defend anybody who hacked another site to steal information, liberal or anybody else. Nor would I defend any organization in competent enough to actually post the information on the web.
ReplyDeleteThere is no evidence that I have seen that this was any kind of "use of liberal tactics."
Can you provide some?
Of course you don't, Jimbo. Of course you don't. You'd justify anything a liberal does against a conservative.
ReplyDeleteThat was my main point, wasn't it?
Jim's admitting to being labeled a troll? LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhere did Jim admit to being labeled a troll? I haven't seen Jim as a "troll." Not here at least. Just because someone disagrees with me doesn't make him-- or her --a troll.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, has anyone but me noticed that Feodor has painstakingly deleted ALL of his comments on this and other blog's posts? Recent posts, not those from months back.
"As data-privacy and security experts criticized the campaign's handling of a confidential donor database, the Republican and his aides suggested partisan motives -- and told donors they should cancel their credit cards. [...]
ReplyDeleteAs recently as late January, databases of thousands of Coleman's donors and assorted contacts sat on a public portion of the campaign's Web site. They were not password-protected, so a Minneapolis consultant was able to find them by essentially surfing the Web. And the credit card numbers weren't encrypted -- a violation of credit card industry standards, according to several experts.
Kelly McShane, whose job is to secure information in the banking industry, said he learned that the last four digits of his American Express card — and the four-digit security code used to verify the card — were posted online when a reporter e-mailed him.
"I'm in IT security for a bank, and I can tell you that this is so ... irresponsible that I can't believe it," said McShane, who had donated $100 to the campaign online."
From my perspective especially without any concrete evidence of partisan malfeasance, it seems like a case of Coleman campaign incompetence.
This may well be, Ben, but it doesn't address the criminality of those who perpetrated the crime. You don't come right out and admit that a crime took place, but you DO put the fault for the crime squarely on the victim... the Coleman campaign.
ReplyDeleteIt's the equivalent of saying, 'it's America's fault that 9/11 happened; her meddling in the middle east is the reason 3000+ people died so horribly.'
The girl deserved to be raped!
ReplyDeleteRight, BenT?
What a twisted view that the Coleman campaign is the victim. The victims are all the people whose credit card numbers are online.
ReplyDeleteSo far as we can tell no one actually used any of these credit card numbers to purchase stolen goods. The Coleman campaign had them posted online in an insecure format and they were copied and sent to wikileaks. That's all we know so far.
The Coleman campaign is like a scuzzy bar owner that doesn't provide a safe environment, more so than a rape victim.
Coleman's campaign was not victimized? Is that what you are attempting to imply, BenT?
ReplyDeleteYou DO live up to your username.
Sure the supporters are victims...but not of Coleman, dumbass. They are victims of what I'm sure will prove to be liberal tactics AGAINST (did you catch that?)A-G-A-I-N-S-T the Coleman cmpaign.
Sickening indeed!
Not much different than Watergate, if you ask me!
Where's the sniveling little creep, Bob Woodward, on this one?
Franken and Reid HAVE bent over backward to steal the election...
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anyone more morally bankrupt in politics than likes of Franken... and Murtha.... and Reid... and...
