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.”
Ha, ha, ha! Oh God, this is too good to be believed! (Hmm perhaps MUCH too good to be believed.)
After years of siccing her sycophantic flying monkeys on ANYBODY who dares to say anything negative or critical of her, the Grizzled Mama is finally getting the chance see what it is like!
I have to imagine that almost EVERY SINGLE person on Tina Dupuy's list are walking around with a big grin on their face over this news. I know I am!
Update: It looks like Mastercard is saying that the credit card numbers leaked by WikiLeaks are fake.
However there appears to be some controversy over whether or not Mastercard is being completely truthful. Still the chances that Todd and Sarah's numbers were exposed, seems less and less likely.
I think she's lying.
ReplyDeleteIf not . . . . .payback is a bitch.
But I still think she's lying.
yeah gyphen, it may be too good to be true, for real. Some say Sarah is lying about this.
ReplyDeleteat this time, she is fulla shit.
ReplyDeleteher pac was down a total of 6mins, much of it broken into .25 sec intervals the shortest.
on top of that her 'people' are so fucking stupid they cannot READ the difference in 'wikileaks' and KIWILEAKS: kiwileaks: "12:15 a small group of us are manually firing at sarapac.com"
stick a gun up yer ass SP.
Oh, noes! Poor Sayruh! The world needs to totally stop taking their jealousy out her! She is an gud womman! Meanies!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Angela, I think she is lying, trying for the sympathy card again. She needs media coverage to take the attention from her "Hunting show" she is not getting the good media coverage she is hoping for.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were only going against the main MasterCard computers. Why would they mess with such a small person? I agree with angela@4:28.
ReplyDeleteDon't jump to conclusions too fast here! Jake Tapper says SHE says her credit cards and SarahPAC were hacked. Where's the proof? No proof provided of the credit card hacking and only a so-called screen shot provided by some tech support person that identifies wikileaks.org as the source of the attack on SarahPAC.
ReplyDeleteAnd notice what happens when you click on the link to the screen shot? Nada. It's not there. Plus, the domain name wikileaks.org was blocked way before this so-called attack supposedly happened. No way to prove anything until more evidence is submitted.
I'm waiting to see if this is another elaborate LIE she's cooked up to get sympathy from the trolls who hang on her every sneeze and misfired guns.
Oh right, only Sarah and Todd are in the WikiLeaks sites. Only SarahPAC has been affected. Not! They are, like the rest of us, collateral damage in a much bigger war.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to turn the binoculars around. Sarah, Todd and SarahPAC are not the center of the universe.
I don't believe it. Not a word.
ReplyDeleteBTW what is "un-American espionage"? Assange is Australian. The Australians have a word for Sarah Palin: fuckwit.
I think she's lying. From what I understand, the other attacks were not actually hacking into computers. They were bombarding VISA and MASTERCARD websites so they were overloaded and shut down. How was this done to her personal credit card account? I think she just wants to stay in the news. Maybe she could appear with pregnant Bristol? That would generate lots of interest.
ReplyDeleteWould that it were true. Tapper based the story on an email from Palin. Is that a credible source? Really?
ReplyDeleteShe just saw an opportunity to get her name back on the news.
IMO, Tapper is either a tool or a fool.
btw...from UKGuardian:
ReplyDelete"11.15pm: Take any stories about hacked "lists" of credit card numbers with a large pinch of salt: they are almost certainly rubbish based on a quick analysis of the purported numbers circulating."
SP...You Lie!
I'm with Angela. I want proof. This could be a cry for attention and her usual victim whine.
ReplyDeleteOnly problem is she is saying that, I don't believe her.
ReplyDeleteWhat was that the happened to the data entry of the AK permanent fund a friend of hers was supervising?
....and how did she find Ruedrich political use of Gov. computer?
...and ddidn't she set up an unethical email acct. to circumvent preservation of Gov. communication?
She knows too much of how to hack the system, she'll use that knowledge when convenient.
I have to agree that screwing with their credit cards seems highly unlikely.
ReplyDeleteshe just might be playing the "poor victim" card again..she just wants the morons that follow her to give her more money....an the sick part is, they will
ReplyDeletethe anonnys dont want her GD credit card info!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO.
'they' are not hacking, they are DOSing sites.
SP is sooo stupid.
the girl cant help it.
Hey, Scarah, the world is laughing at you...AGAIN!!! HAAAAA-HAAAAAAA!!! How does it "fill" to be the biggest joke in the world???
ReplyDeleteCould she be ANY dumber?
ReplyDeleteThis is about denial of service, not her undies.
WhoTF wants to 'hack' her undies!!
How dumb are her peeps.
LOLOLOL.
Agreed. Lying...she can't stop herself. The real reason she's upset with WikiLeaks is because they are stealing attention away from her. The hackers, by the way, are calling themselves Operation Payback. Not WikiLeaks.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's just her lying again. I think she will insert herself in every major item of world news from here on out... is all this bluster and nonsense from her just to make sure no one notices pregnant Bristol?
ReplyDeleteWell in fairness to the Grifting Grisly Mama, the donations from SarahPAC probably do go straight to her personal credit and banking accounts!
ReplyDeleteWhy should a non-U.S. citizen honor her "first amendment rights?" As Bugs Bunny would say: what an ultra-maroon.
ReplyDeleteI agree with anon 4:39. On the Evening News, they explained that the Wikileaks fans have the technology to bombard a website with so many hits that it causes them to crash.
ReplyDeleteSarah is a professional victim, so she has extended a simple denial of service, meaning, she couldn't use her credit card to mean omg, they hacked my card, and Todd's too.
And, the Wikileaks people have moved into the house next door and they are spying on Piper. They are following Willow home from school. They are everywhere; be very afraid.
Why is it always a violation of her first amendment rights? Dumb ass
ReplyDeleteIt's all a desperate plea for attention. I'm sure the WIKILEAKS and supporters could give a rat's ass about SP when they can embarrass/take down bigger fish. She's trying to make herself important.
ReplyDeleteI think she is lying--has to get in the news because she was getting bad press for her hunting. Deflecting as she always does.
ReplyDeletesallyngarland,tx
I'm with the doubters. She's relentless and shameless - inserting her desperate self into ANY controversy that's getting attention. Is she pathetic or what?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm talking to you, you crazy b****. Lay off the Red Bull. Get some sleep. Try to find one spark of sanity and/or humanity in that dessicated soul of yours. Look it up.
Here's how you can tell it's her credit card: the bills go to someone else.
ReplyDeleteIs this another case of "don't look here - look over there!"?
ReplyDeletePhony Pioneer Woman plays the victim card again to divert attention from another giant goof. Haven't we already seen this movie?
"un-American espionage"
ReplyDeleteYes, how dare that group run by an Australian citizen living in Europe be so un-American?!
What better way to drown out the negative attention on her tv show than become a victim...a victim elevated to the level of a government hacked by wikileaks?
ReplyDeleteI won't believe she was attacked without unquestionable documentation. Let's see if she files a lawsuit...'cause that's how she rolls' when there's hacking involved.
The weird part is she's paranoid enough to believe it happened when it didn't.
I didn't realize others were keeping silent about Assange.
ReplyDeleteWhat a liar Sarah is.. Oh yeah, and attention whore. Palin is truly pathetically desperate and desperately pathetic.
You mean.......Sarah is making things up? (gulp) Sarah? Making things up? Seriously? BWAAHAAAAHAAAAA!!!!
ReplyDelete"un-American espionage"
ReplyDeleteShe probably STILL thinks Australia is part of the US.
She doesn't appear to appreciate any one else's freedom of speech, guess she intends that's for poor lil' Sarah only.
She needs to actually hire some handlers instead of relying on those dingbats who do it because they're in love with her. By definition they don't have any sense.
Thank Goodness...a victime again just im time for a new bit of chaos since the last episode of high drama is almost done.
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction to this story was that Palin saw a publicity/victim angle & jumped right in.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Wikileaks waste its time on a gnat, an annoyance, when real unreported injustices abound.
Exactly 4:36 - the attacks were by anonymous. Sarah is soooooo stooooooopid - so are her family, friends and flying monkeys. Trig may well have the highest IQ of the whole bunch.
ReplyDeleteWonder if she will ever learn what the 1st Amendment is actually all about and if she will ever understand that anyone who isn't an American is unAmerican, the prefix 'un' meaning 'not'. Communications major, my big fat granny ass!
ReplyDelete"BTW what is "un-American espionage"?"
ReplyDeleteAussie, I asked the same thing when I read the email.
Good Gawd Palin is stupid!!
Although I wish it was true, I have to agree with Angela, Palin is lying for more media attention.
I would love the hackers to shutdown her Twitter account.
Hard to believe!
ReplyDeleteOh that's right- don't believe it unless you are $tupid.
ermm that is why also she retracts what she said too. Look what was just posted!
Link Here
"Sorry to make a fuss about this.
I have been fooled again!

UPDATE!!
now at the same link as before it says
Donate money now to fill up my stolen credit!
Thank Goodness...a victim again!! Just im time for a new bit of chaos since the last episode of high drama is almost done.
ReplyDeleteI agree with mmboucher. She is trying to divert attention away from her hunting show. And maybe the negative publicity Bristol's been getting. There has been a lot of negative stuff written this week about Sarah herself. Any time Sarah is critisized, she turns the tables and makes herself out as the victim. And the sad thing is...it usually works.
ReplyDeleteThis whole hacking story happened only in Sarah's delusional mind. But it proves that the things being said about her are most likely true. So keep the pressure on!
A legend in her own mind ,She has been rewarded for lying in the past . She does it so naturally .
ReplyDeleteA sociopath who is addicted to attention / Trying to distract from recent negativity .It's her M O
Yes , I see it as well . She is making up the whole senario up. Ignore her and she will do something else even more insane to get attention.
Poor Sarah...her Constitutional rights are being violated again. Cry me a river....
ReplyDeleteShe's just mad because Julian Assange is probably going to beat her out for Time's Person of the Year.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, only Sarah and her family are entitled to first amendment rights.
ReplyDeleteAnd she thinks she's being targeted specifically? Singled out? Because the world revolves around Sarah and it is all about her.
If only Wikileaks could leak all of the dirt on Sarah.
Too bad the hackers couldn't get their hands on Sarah's credit card statements...now THAT would be priceless.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of how we feel about the Palins, they have every right to the same security we expect for our private accounts. This is from me, a major Palin disser from moment one, the "speech" at the Republican convention.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed every minute of the rolling train wreck, but this is wrong, if it's true [and it may not be, I realize].
. . .but in any event, the First Amendment has no role here, regardless of what she says. Maybe that should have been the clue for me.
ReplyDeleteHar....Har...Har....
ReplyDeletePoor Swag-Hag... got a little street mud on your ten pounds of make-up that's already there??
I can almost hear the whines from here... They're being drowned out by the roaring laughter... We're not laughing with you Swag-o - we're laughing AT YOU !!!!
Hhahaahahahahahahaahahahahaha.....
Well, I think she thinks she is so important that she would be specifically targeted, in other words, delusions of grandeur.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, Sarah, we do find you extremely "icky".
“No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange's antics,” Palin emailed.
ReplyDelete---
I find this line particularly amusing considering how the Palin Crime Syndicate allegedly runs things in Wasilly. Then again, not only is she a liar, but a master bullshit projectionist.
She was already setting up the Palinbots yesterday via twit to make them believe wikileaks is all about Sarah:
ReplyDeleteNRO Traffic Nirvana: Julian Assange Notices Sarah Palin’s Criticism (via @jimgeraghty) http://bit.ly/dXP9za
False Flag Operation!
ReplyDeleteSuppose your name is K**l R**e and tur*bloss*m is one of AKAs you use.
Suppose the Bus* family is not happy with only two and actually want a presidential hat trick (used hat trick instead of trifecta so hocke* ginos can understand). And Ba*s Bu*h thinks a former WGE should stay in Alaska too.
You'd want to make your target run around yelling "they are out to get me!!".
Mission Accomplished!
Because although the provided screen grab SAYS who is responsible- just like when French President Nicolas Sarkozy is calling- it might not be!
Washington Post story on this prank"
According to the ABC link RAM needs to BOLO for approaching buses!
Bonus hilarity- one of the topics discussed with 'President Sarkozy' was hunting (another was a Palin presidency!):
"The fake Sarkozy buttered Palin up by telling her he hoped she would become president some day. "Haha, maybe in eight years," Palin replied. Then the conversation turned to helicopter hunting, with a mention of Vice President Dick Cheney's infamous bad shot.
"One of my favorite activities is to hunt, too," the fake Sarkozy said. "Oh, very good, we should go hunting together," Palin replied, adding, "I think we could have a lot of fun together as we're getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone that way."
"I just love killing those animals! Taking away life, that is so fun," the Sarkozy impersonator said.
Palin laughed.
"As long as we don't bring Vice President Cheney," the jokester said. "I'll be a very careful shot, don't worry," Palin said, laughing.
Do the Palins also fall for Nigerian Bank Presidents calling about 'temporarily tied up funds too?
Have you noticed? The grifter's flame is has begun to dim this week. It seems the country has decided to focus on more important things (and she isn't one of them).
ReplyDeleteI do believe this week marks the beginning of her end.
And where did ABC get their info? Sarah emailed Tapper herself. There are SO many things wrong with this tale to believe. Bunch of BS from her - do a little searching. This is incredible that she could sit there and say that, her credit card information was NOT stolen. SHE was not the target of any attack nor is she the center of the universe. She is just trying to get hatred propaganda on anonymous and wikileaks. So, how does one go about getting some free advertising?...apparently by emailing ABC News. All she is doing here is trying to ride a publicity wave (and please note... she whines again about being picked upon.)
ReplyDeleteShe's lying. RAM is also lying.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous claimed their attacks - it is on their Twitter page
"Operation Payback".
They tweeted to coordinate their attacks.
Mastercard, Visa and PayPal are there, not Palin.
The screeching celebrity fishwife is at it again with her fantasies. She thinks she's so important that she's under cyber attack and the Terminator is after her.
ReplyDeleteHow did McCain survive the non-stupid from Sarah Palin?
ReplyDeleteTweets found re Palin on an Anon twitter page responding to Palin, Politico and Mark Zuckerberg re FB!

Clue: Palin is full of shit. But then -- you already knew that!!
Sarah saw the headline and thought "let's make this about me!"
ReplyDeleteIf her lips are moving, she is lying!!
Why are you celebrating criminal activity?
ReplyDeleteYou should post your credit card numbers, but you probably do not have 2 pennies to rub together.
Wish Wikileaks would go after Palin... all her secrets laid out for everyone to see..
ReplyDeleteWhat does the first amendment have to do with anything?
ReplyDeletesorry, but no Palin is not on the OP attack list. Much to her dismay. Whatever her problems are, they are not associated with OP.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cyberwar and Palin isn't a part of it.
$arah should really be pissed at Pvt Bradley Manning, the ARMY soldier who gave the memos to Assange. But she won't cuz he is a "soldja"
ReplyDeletehttp://sarahpalinhasaserpentsheart.blogspot.com
Of course Scarah would find a way to make herself relevant and keep herself in the news. She thinks so highly of herself.. fortunately the rest of us don't.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 6:37...You mean like an order for a strap on fake pregnancy belly?
ReplyDeleteanon @ 7.48 we may not have two pennies to rub together, but at least we are not out there fleecing people with a book that's full of other writers quotes that we pretend to write.
ReplyDeleteWe are not pimping our kids out on TV in a faked reality show or on DWTS.. sorry guess they are one and the same, all so we can have big bank accts like grifter granny.
I rather be poor that sell my soul and my childrens like Scarah has
To catch a $arah-think- what she might have screwed up.
ReplyDeleteDid she announce in advance that this apparently non existent attack might target her?
She has been making comments on this Leak topic- and so I wonder- has she and or her minions(RAM fer instance) made a mistake on F.B. Twitter or elsewhere?
By claiming something demonstrably not true? Before it didn't happen like they apparently claim it did?
They are stupid anyway- as the screengrab provided to ABC proving who was 'responsible' for whatever 'attack' they thought was going on ( if they even actually thought there was an attack on their site) is for something that had ceased to exist.
This is hilarious! But, but, I thought she could stop things just by willing it so.
ReplyDeleteThis woman..
Found this on CNN:
ReplyDeletehttp://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/08/obsessions-loving-to-hate-bristol-palin/?hpt=Sbin
I know I definitely hate Bristol Palin! And her whole family. Except for the babies.
I agree, this story is too convenient and lets Sarah become the victim again.
ReplyDeleteSarahPAC did this to themselves.
Funny!
ReplyDeleteI was saying to myself earlier today that Sarah and Bristol must be ill because they had gone a full news cycle without inserting themselves into the 'news.'
Sarah couldn't let that be.
There is no way that the group that was able to hack into Mastercard was prevented by $arah's goons from getting into $arahpac. She's just playing her typical victim role that she loves so much. Just like the latest tweet about the tax cut proposal, she waited to hear what DeMint was saying, then she complained about although she made no sense whatsoever. Wait a minute, it's Sarah, she NEVER makes sense. She's also whining about how the rich deserve tax breaks by linking to an article by Sowell, the same guy who says that people earning $250k aren't doing all that well and they definitely aren't rich. No, they may not be rich, but they are a hell of alot better off than the single Mom trying to make ends meet on unemployment, the same Mom that Palin wants to see the benefits taken away from! What a friggin' bitch!
ReplyDeleteIf it were true, why would she be so public about it? Oh, right, it's Sarah "Look At Me" Palin.
ReplyDeletethe victim card yet again to get the heat off her back of the caribou hunt.... Why oh Why would they chose just her and Toad?
ReplyDeleteas much as she hates the MSM she emailed Jake? hmmmmmmmm interesting
I just cannot believe any of this. This is like something out of a movie.
ReplyDeleteCredit cards hacked, WikiLeaks, the thought that Assane could even remotely know who Sarah from Wasilla is, this is just too fantastic. Beyond belief.
5:17 PM and 6:18 - "she is lying--has to get in the news because she was getting bad press for her hunting. Deflecting as she always does." Yep. I'm right over there with you. SURE of it.
Everyone needs to get a grip. Like, the whole world.
Anybody notice that Sarah Palin is starting to resemble Amy Winehouse?
ReplyDeleteThere was a tweet from Ramrod that the site was going to be down, and there are screen shots of stupid Ram's tweet. It is all a lie, always a victim. Just jealous people are talking about what a great woman Elizabeth was.
ReplyDeleteSarah isn't making the news as much as she was....thank God! FINALLY! People outside of Alaska are getting sick of her just as the residents of Alaska have!
ReplyDelete@7:48 because she, meaning Sacarah
ReplyDeletehas attacked, it's about time she's attacked but this attack on her is a lie, just like all the one's she has done to everyone, LIES.She's down in the 48 now not to mention the world, she can't do to us what she did to
alaska. We're stronger then her, alaska might not have been able to bring her down but 48 and world will.
If Wikileaks could get a copy of Sarah Palin's credit card statement, I'm sure we would see a fake baby bump purchase.
ReplyDeleteOne big "Uh-oh" for La Sarah. What a humiliation for her.
ReplyDelete@ 6:12 PM
ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO
Great Post!
I agree this may be Palin drama and not true. She has cried wolf too much and told lie upon lie.
ReplyDelete“This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin continues to demonstrate that she hasn’t the slightest idea what the First Amendment actually is. The Constitution affords Palin nor any other citizen protection from being attacked digitally - or even physically - for engaging in any speech. The First Amendment merely protects her speech from GOVERNMENT censorship. There is precisely ZERO speech protected from anyone else, foreign or domestic.
Since he’s not a U.S. citizen, yeah, by definition Julian Assange is “un-American.” Isn’t that kind of what being a foreigner is all about? So far, the Wilileaks brouhaha has revealed information that is mostly just embarrassing. Since when does embarrassment rise to the level of espionage, or even treason? When seriously damaging intelligence that effects peoples safety gets leaked, then you can start talking about espionage. Until then you are comparing apples to porcupines.
Palin and her faux-macho shithead posse (see, I said I’d steal that line) are none too bright. They seem to think that all they need to do is create a fake screen shot and presto, they can "prove" they've been hacked. They REALLY ain't too bright, are they? A bunch of inbred morons who think that they're the smartest ones around.
But, if the whole thing is a big fat ass lie to garner sympathy and divert attention from her Annie Oakley hunting charade, that could even be a very good thing. Will the credit card companies “out” her if she’s lying? Is she dumb enough to make false claims as to being a victim of a crime? Can you say "fraud" and "felony?"
Boy, wouldn't that be grand?
As always this crazy bitch is lying her ass off and embellishing the story to get more attention. She will claim anything that keeps her in the news.
ReplyDeleteLord I am sick of this attention seeking psychopath.
First thing I would do if I thought someone was hacking my business accounts via a computer would be to protect all of my personal accounts that might be hacked i.e. I'd unplug.
ReplyDeleteInstead she sends an email to ABC News?
I don't think so.
“This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”
ReplyDelete~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gawd this woman is an idiot!
As if an Australian gives a flying f0ck through a rolling doughnut about the American "first amendment" OR being "un-American"
Of course he IS "un-American".................he is Australian.
AND he committed no "espionage" an American low level soldier did that, and simply turned it over TO THE AUSTRALIAN!!
You know this is so ridiculous.
I wouldn't let the occasional temp I hire to help with with office work, get NEAR my computers with recording devices, OR allow them to work while being "plugged in" to their own little world with head sets of any device.
The same goes for the accountants that my accounting firm sends over.
And I would never dream of working for someone while wearing a head set for my personal pleasure/distraction either, never mend recording their information.
How this soldier was able to get this information in the first place, is the SLOPPIEST office atmosphere let ALONE security that I have ever heard of.
His superiors should be the ones in in jail for allowing this to happen.
If she's lying (of which I'm about 99.9% sure), the lamestream media that she loooooves (yeah, that's right) has to call her out on it. She has latched onto this wikileaks thing like a chihuahua in heat because it will get HER the attention that she needs to live and of course ABC will hand it to her. She is a pathetic excuse for a human being and our media is worthless.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Sarah's PAC site likely was a target -- along with many others -- of DDoS attacks as "volunteer" botnets and hackers got all twittered up by the call to arms. Also likely is that DoS attacks have been attempted earlier -- it's just too good of a target to pass up, and DoS attacks aren't difficult to launch.
ReplyDeleteAs to Palin's CC: if the site accepted MasterCard (or Visa or PayPal) donations, then at a stretch she could say "her" CC was impacted. But she would have had to either check the list of published MasterCard CC numbers and confirmed hers or confirmed with MC that her number had been released to claim that her "personal" CC had been compromised.
DoS attacks in themselves aren't permanently damaging -- they simply disrupt service for a while, much like if you had an autodialer that kept a phone line busy so no calls could get through.
Is DoS illegal? Yes. Is it a sleazy tactic? Yes. Trolling is also sleazy. Both have been around on the Internet as long as I can remember, dating back to the 1980s. Both are a form of protest. What concerns me is that they can be used as a cover while other more pernicious cyber attacks get underway.
So I agree that Palin's statement is another grab at publicity. Outrage outlet; there are plenty of people willing to jump on any outrage bandwagon and I have to admit she has a knack for parading those wagons in full regalia. All aboard?
What's really priceless is that she calls foreigners un-American, that my friends, is ignorance beyond comprehension.
ReplyDeleteI agree this is a distraction, but not just from the TLC hunting massacre, but that far more serious FCC complaints about ABC and DWTS voting and the backlash from glamorizing teen pregnancy. This could affect Bristol and Sarah's ability to make money, since pimping out their kids is all they have left.
Think about it, who got the email? Jake Tapper of ABC.
I think the time is right for Playboy to offer Ms. Palin a deal: profit sharing if she does a photo spread. That's where this is all headed eventually: the last possible ploy to create MONEY MONEY MONEY. She better do it quick, looks fade fast at her age.
ReplyDeleteSimple Sarah - PROVE IT. Very easy to, just ask your "top-rate" IT folks
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see wikileaks get her medical records.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe a word of it. It is another example of her victimisation. Everybody is trying to either take away her 1st amendment rights or trying to have sex with her daughters.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe her for a minute. RAM says that their tech people quickly fought off the attack. I don't believe that one. Yesterday Anonymous launched DOS attacks against Visa, MasterCard, Paypal, eBay (and I don't know who else), those people couldn't "fight it off" but SarahPAC techies fight off the attack? Another SarahPACK OF LIES...
ReplyDeleteSharon1943
I think she's afraid Wikileaks will or already has discovered her secrets. This is her pre-emptive victim ploy in case Wikileaks outs her: "Julian Assange is just out to get me". Either that or she is projecting her fear of Patrick at Palingates onto Assange. You know, German, Australian, what's the diff!
ReplyDelete"she emailed Jake? "
ReplyDeleteNow we know who her go-to news guy is at the in-the-bag-for-her network, ABC. She effed up on this one and "outed" her ABC lackey.
She's lying. It's just another attempt to keep herself in the news. She wants people to think she's a big target. It's just more of a continuation of the lie that she's still relevant after botching McCain's chances for the presidency and quitting her job.
ReplyDeleteDelusions of grandeur? This woman shouldn't even have delusions of adequacy.
Just in time for christmas!!
ReplyDeletegive me money, I've been hacked again - woe is ME ME ME!

Technically, Sowah and Toads personal credit cards and SarahPAC are two different matters.
ReplyDeleteIn the last 2 months so many Wasilla residents had thier credit card info "compromised", so the credit card companies have reissued new ones.
I've a business in Wasilla so I know a little about all the compromised cards.
Now about SarahPAC, they were probably targeted. And the take away would be to not trust the site if you wish to donate to the cause. It just can not be trusted.
Sowah has mixed the two up so she can gain attention, play a victim and garner more money for her PAC. Additionally, to keep eyes off of her daughter's growing belly.
6:44- what happened to the credit cards in Wasilla? Compromised? Leaking at a local business probably.
ReplyDeleteFrom looking at the SarahPac reports- it probably wasn't SarahPac leaking all those Wasilla CC #s!!
6:44 am - "In the last 2 months so many Wasilla residents had thier credit card info "compromised", so the credit card companies have reissued new ones.
ReplyDeleteI've a business in Wasilla so I know a little about all the compromised cards."
Really. Now, THAT'S interesting.
And has nothing to do with the Palins or WikiLeaks or international espionage.
I know nothing about whatever's happening with this credit card business, but I do know that if something like that is focused in a specific geographic area, there's a local connection.
Someone in Wasilla has a gray-market credit card processing operation going on. Selling lists. A local business/bank employee doing a little illegal moonlighting activity.
I think authorities need to be doing a little checking in on all those pajama-clad homeschool/high school dropout teenagers in their parents' basements up there?
What with the state-of-the-art computer equipment, scanners, software and high-speed internet access provided FREE at State of Alaska expense through the various "homeschool" programs. Not to mention the "free" tuition at local community college campuses (which I actually approve of and support).
Web design and computer classes are the rage right now amongst Alaska's sub-urban/highway corridor homeschooled teenagers. Vocational Ed, you know, wink wink.
And what about that US Army Private Bradley Manning? Is Sarah going to Twitter that he should be shot at dawn by firing squad or be waterboarded or something?
Didn't he "jeopardize" Track's safety on deployment? Isn't that much worse than university student David Kernel reading Sarah's email that was absolutely positively subject to public disclosure, whether the State of Alaska likes it or not?
Or is he a friend of Track's or dating the girls or something?
Food for thought - Assane/WikiLeak didn't hack anything. They received it. There is a difference. An American hacked it and gave it to them. Maybe Sarah has the names mixed up?
Unbelievable.

ReplyDeleteWikiLeaks was planning to release a US military video that shows one of the deadliest US air strikes in Afghanistan - the bombing of the village of Garani in May 2009. According to the Afghan government, about 140 civilians died, including 92 children.
"The Baghdad video shows one of two US Apache helicopter crews falsely claiming that there is shooting, opening fire and then laughing over the dead. The helicopters also attack a van attempting to rescue the wounded. One of them opens fire with armour-piercing shells. One of the crew laughs about the attack after the windscreen is blown out. Behind it were two children who were wounded.
Manning faces two charges under military law for allegedly illegally transferring the Iraq video and copies of documents to his computer and then for passing "national defence information to an unauthorised source". The charge sheet says Manning leaked the material to "bring discredit upon the armed forces"."
Manning wrote: "At first glance it was just a bunch of guys getting shot up by a helicopter. No big deal … about two dozen more where that came from, right?
But something struck me as odd with the van thing, and also the fact it was being stored in a Jag (judge advocate general) officer's directory. So I looked into it."
One thing about hackers, and this is real hackers not like the poor kid who guessed her Yahoo password reset question, is they do not like to be messed with.
ReplyDeleteSo if Palin is going to go around and spew this crap about her credit cards being exposed then she best be ready because they will do it for fun and not profit.
Bottom line with Palin, if her lipstick on a pig lips are moving then she's lying.
Just arrived from wonkette. An article there suggests an attack never occured.
