1. Who fucking cares?

12. Simple test

What would your reaction be if it was a repub son that hacked into Biden's email?

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. If it was McCain or Palin's kid I might give a fuck

If it's some nobody from Tennessee, I wouldn't give a good goddamn.

[Democat]

2. Wow, that was really really fast - like ACORN!

Must be nice to control the entire government so that you can use the government's power to try to influence the election.

[wvbygod]

11. Government mind control made him turn himself in?

That is some power.

[Democat]

14. They had him nailed a few days after the hack!

How many people have their Yahoo email account hacked every day? How many people have been indicted for that crime in the last 6 months?

Come on, this is 100% political and they are trying to make a point before the election.

[wvbygod]

18. no doubt

maybe he got a plea to wait until now to fess up?

[Democat]

24. You may be right!

I can't imagine the deals, including cash in a Swiss bank account, that they must have offered Rezko to say something, anything, against Obama before the election.

Remember when they were going after Clinton? The Republicans aren't against using the full power of the US government, at taxpayer expense, and without any regards for laws or ethics, to try to gain politically.

4. They should pin a medal on that kid...

If this was some other country, he would be sought after by security software companies. But, alas, here in AmeriKKKa, he is going to have to do time.

Look at what happened to Kevin Mitnick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Mitnick
He was arrested, served time, and now runs an extremely successful security company in Nevada.

Penalizing this kid is the wrong thing to do.

5. Boy, I wish we'd found the anthrax guy that fast! /nt

6. Stupid kid....

7. gosh I hope this makes the Republicans nervous

It's not just their side anymore who breaks the rules and violates the people's privacy.

it doesn't matter who did it -- It matters WHAT he found (using their logic). So SHOW us the emails, dude.

Print them in a national paper.

LEAK the emails.

It doesn't matter how we found out, Gov Palin. Did you expect someone to read you your rights? (SNEER). Gov Palin is under arrest for breaking the law regarding govt business. She will be treated like all other criminals (SNEER). You don't like how we found out about you? Only the Pukes can spy on people? Not anymore, sweetheart.

It's anybody's game now. Pukes opened the door, but of course, it is the Dems who excel at everything brain-wise...and in this case, well, it's kinda embarrassing that the Gov didnt' know better than to use a Yahoo account to conduct state business. She deserves what she gets.

After all, let the hackers decide! If they can get in, you're not safe. IF they can't get in, the govt will do it for them! Sorta like Wall Street.

8. He didn't hack the account he went off demographic info on her like anyone else could do

[Egnever]

10. yup they should be arresting palin for conducting state buisness

with such a stupid password

[riqster]

16. DINGDINGDING! We have a WINNNAHHH!

Palin was using that email account to hide her activities from the government. Let's keep that in mind.

[uponit7771]

21. Yeap, I know FIRST HAND that the guy did NOT "hack" the account, he couldn't but dumb ass'd

...Palin used demo info that you could find on her via google search's.

Make sure to have your passwords with a . somewhere so it'll fool demo info.

17. That "idiot" turned the spotlight on her irresponsible use of a personal email account.

I don't think he's an idiot at all. Just another American sick of the lies.

Were his actions illegal? yes. Should he be punished? yes.

But as far as I'm concerned this is just an act of non-violent resistance.

[Peacetrain]

19. No tea and sympathy from me..

[Arrowhead2k1]

20. Out of all the young hackers out there, the son of a Dem had to be the one to do it.

Brilliant.

Thanks alot kid, thanks a fucking lot...

[uponit7771]

22. He didn't "hack" the account, he couldn't I know this first hand. He went off common demo info on...

...and other info you can google search for password resets.

Put a . in your passwords to fool demo info searchs on accounts

[Arrowhead2k1]

25. He compromised someone else's private email account.

I don't care how he did it or how easy it was, it was done. That's as good as "hacking" in many people's books, doesn't change anything anyway. Kid is still being indicted and brought shame to his father.

26. i thought it was the weirdos from 4chan?
