A Splendid Little Revolution

Sarah Palin's e-mail was hacked.

At first, people thought "Anonymous" did it. Yeah, the same Anonymous whose campaign against Scientology I supported. And in some ways, still do.

But it wasn't Anonymous. It was one guy, pretending to speak for Anon. Hello: Anonymous is not your personal army. And it's especially not a cover you can blame your treachery on.

David Kernell is his name, son of a Democrat legislator in Tenn. Apparently, from what we can gather, he's an Obama supporter. Now, why on Earth would he do something like this?

"I didn't find anything that I could use to incriminate her or derail her candidacy, like I had hoped," paraphrasing the alleged individual. The latest evidence shows that he tried to get into Palin's associates' e-mail accounts as well.

Now, the liberals can go on all day about how "Oh, it's Palin's fault, she had a secret Yahoo e-mail address. For a public official, that's illegal. Is it illegal? I hope so." We can sidestep those charges for now. For a disturbing trend has arisen.

At least 3 different times, now, Obama supporters have turned thuggish, as Ace's blog implies. Twice, WGN has given interviews to anti-Obama book authors. Twice, the WGN station has been flooded with Obama supporters directed by his campaign to "fight the 'smears'", by complaining and harassing, perhaps even threatening the station and the interviewee. And now this.

Where could this have come from? Well, one must not look to far to find the influences the Obama campaign and Obama himself dote upon. Namely, Obambi's chief influence, Saul Alinsky.

Yeah, the socialist Saul Alinsky who dedicated his book Rules for Radicals to Satan. Obama was trained in the Alinsky front by Alinsky's own footsoldiers, who learned from the master himself, all in his community organizing days. Tactics for "community agitating", tactics for revolution.

Now, if the trend continues (and Obama has done nothing but encourage it, in fact he's told his supporters to get in Republicans' faces), and it more than likely shall, we may have a splendid little revolution on our hands. And to the hacker of Governor Palin's e-mail:

"You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"


PS: Today was a large voting drive on the campus green. I wanted to get some pictures with a cardboard Obama, but the jerk who monitored me wouldn't let me pretend to punch it in the face, strangle it, or hold a sign next to it with an arrow, saying "ask me about my socialism." Also, I had a lively discussion with the Green party senatorial candidate, Bob Kinsey. I personally think he's a nice, guy, just a little disconnected from reality and it bit over-the-edge.

There was a soapbox there, too, with a free megaphone. I heard some idiots rant about "all the parties being the same," and "don't you f*cking care about this election?" (to the latter, I shot back "Yeah, that's why I'm voting for McCain.") I wanted to get up there, but I had lunch with Andrew and his roommate, and we came back too late to sign up. Bollocks.

PSS: The production's going great, as well. Theatre kids can get pretty annoying, I'll admit, but they're pretty nice people. At least, so far.
