blzrul Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I am not sure who hacked this but ... when you use Yahoo.com for email you have to know it could be hacked. She's surely not the only one who's ever been hacked. Just maybe the highest profile, to date. What is apparently the political issue is that the personal email account was used for state business. This is a no-no, for security / privacy reasons if nothing else. My company requires that all business be conducted on our network, behind our firewall, in order to protect our data as well as for legal/documentation purposes (of course email's backed up). I believe most state and local governments adhere to the same rules.

I believe most state and local governments adhere to the same rules. Adhere is not the same as Have. They all have them, but I would suggest that there is not a single organization that fully adhere's to its regulations. As a rule of thumb, the more important the person, the more likely they ignore the regs. How many bigshots of both political parties have been found to have taken classified documents home in the past decade?
IDBillzFan Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I'm really starting to wonder how far this will go before even the far left is embarrassed by their own tactics.
Booster4324 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Somewhere John McCain is saying in a self satisfied voice, "There is a reason I don't use e-mail..."
KD in CA Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I'm really starting to wonder how far this will go before even the far left is embarrassed by their own tactics. That would require they had some sense of shame. That hasn't been the case for a while now.
Da Big Man Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 That would require they had some sense of shame. That hasn't been the case for a while now. They know no limits, shame does not exsist in the grey area. They cannot save themselves from their own folly. And I am loving every minute of it.
Da Big Man Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Never figured out that it had AT&T logos and not stars on the Donkey, did you? (This troll is awesome, btw) No troll, been here for ahwile original name never made it through the mishap of login trouble. And no, it was fun teasing you.

RkFast Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Normally I agree... But, again: "No quarter asked, no quarter given." Now, it is all about: "Tit for tat, who's the bigger rat!" And normally I agree, but YOU are the folks who are embracing the platform of "CHANGE." What part of the "Obama Doctrine" (lol) of "CHANGE" does hacking into a personal private email account fit into? Seriously, youve pulled your hair out over your accusations of the Bushies playing fast and loose with people's privacy (which, to be fair, I can get my head around), youve whined about our "loss of basic rights".... yet you give a pass to whats going on here? How?

How? there's a HUGE difference between journalists finding a way to hack the e mail box of someone and the Government voting laws so that they can go into the e mail boxes of everybody!!!!
Wacka Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Yes, there is. The reporter or Obama flunkies doing it is a FELONY. The govt doing it is anti-terrorism.

Thats like saying its OK to drink and drive on beer but not on vodka. At the end of the day, its an invasion of privacy, no matter who/what/why carried it out. And I dont think either is right.
olivier in france Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 The govt doing it is anti-terrorism. Yeah right!!

Am I (a frenchman) actually having a discussion with american conservatives about the evils of strong governments and being the one that actually worry about those evils?!!! I think Hell is freezing right now!!
Chilly Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 What the hell is with this argument? Journalists didn't hack into the account, the Obama campaign didn't hack into the account, some random btard did who isn't affiliated with anyone. Talk about straw men.

But a lot of liberals here (and elsewhere) are LOLing and high-fiving over it. These are the same folks who are up in arms over the current Admin "spying", state that the Patriot Act amounts to "invasion of privacy" and has these claims as one of the pillars of their hatred of the Admin. Thats my problem with this.
