Palin Email Witch Hunt Proves Fruitless

Jun 13, 2011 Opinion

The Washington Post and The New York Times received about 300 pounds of paperwork that contained some of the emails from the time Sarah Palin was the governor of Alaska. The newspapers enlisted volunteers to sift through the mails in hope of revealing dirt that might be contained in those emails. Make no mistake about it, the desire was to find something to smear Palin with and this is because the liberal media must smear her to protect its puppet master in the White House.

The effort was a bust. The emails revealed thus far indicate that Palin encouraged her staff to be open with the media, she took her work seriously and that she was principled. The media made itself look like a bunch of fools in this effort.

Here is an idea, and it is just an idea. How about the government release the electronic communications of Anthony Weiner to several newspapers and those newspapers enlist an army of volunteers to sift through looking for anything to smear him with? I bet they will find a lot more stuff by going through his emails than they did going through Palin’s.

While they are at it, why not release the electronic communications from Barack Obama. It would be interesting to see what kind of dirt an army of volunteers sifting through them could find.

Of the three, Palin is the only one who is not in office and is not paid by taxpayers and yet she is the one that the left is gunning for.

I imagine Obama’s electronic communications would bear more fruit than Palin’s did.

And Weiner’s would most assuredly render more dirt than Palin’s ever would.

No, let’s ignore Weiner and go after Palin. To the Lame Stream Media, she is more worthy of such attention.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

A Little Website Housekeeping

May 30, 2011 Political

I have been approached by several folks on my email subscription list who told me they stopped getting email notification of new posts. I looked back and realized that I too stopped receiving emails of new posts (the control, as it were). I have spent about a third of today looking into it and I believe I have fixed the problem. When I upgraded Mailpress the settings and how emails are sent changed a bit and I was not aware. The documentation was not very specific with regard to it (to be fair, it is a free plugin and the guy who writes it is not a native English speaker).

I believe that I have fixed the problem and this post will serve as a test to see if everyone gets it. If I have you as active in my list then it means that YOU signed up to receive them. If you do not remember doing so or no longer want them please follow the instruction in the email to unsubscribe. Please do not report this as spam to my service provider or your ISP. Like I said, you asked to get them by signing up.

Which also means if there are folks reading this who would like to be notified when there is a new post please use the “per post” sign up in the right top sidebar.

If you receive this then let me know.

Have a great day!!

Sarah Palin’s Email Hacked

Sep 18, 2008 Political

Some cretin hacked into the personal email account of Governor Sarah Palin and posted screen shots of her email on the web. The Secret Service and the FBI are investigating.

I watched the cable shows and on Greta the host asked a panel of lawyers if the person (or persons) who hacked in should go to jail if they are caught. Two of the three immediately assumed that Palin was doing state work on her personal email. They eventually discussed the issue of privacy and how wrong it was but they kept hammering on state business on the email even though none of the emails had anything to do with state business. They kept saying it to plant the seed. The issue here is that someone hacked email. If they find anything else then they can discuss it.

This would be like if someone stole Barack Obama’s checkbook and published his banking information and the panel was asked if the thieves should go to jail and they said well, Obama might have robbed the bank, they need to see. He might have robbed the bank where he has that checking account.

Let me give the answer the idiot lawyers had some trouble with. The people who did this, if they are caught, should go to jail for a minimum of 5 years and then they should be forbidden from ever using a computer again. I would feel this way if they hacked Obama’s email. This is wrong and it should be strictly punished.

I will be looking around to see how people feel. It will be interesting to see how many liberals condemn it seeing how they are so concerned with privacy (unless you are Chuck Schumer who steals Social Security numbers).

No to Patriot Act but yes to hacking Palin?…..

Obama’s New Ad Invites Scrutiny

Sep 12, 2008 Political

Barack Obama and his campaign have vowed to come out swinging and put up a more aggressive fight. Obama feels that the Republicans are liars and that he must defend his honor and his chances by hitting them hard. His newest “hard hit” is an ad that makes a bad attempt at painting John McCain as someone who has not changed.

The ad starts off with the year 1982 emblazoned on the screen and McCain with a pair of big out of style glasses and says that in 1982 McCain went to Washington. Then we see a disco ball, a huge cell phone, Rubik’s Cube, and a computer with an email icon. The narrator explains that a lot has changed since then but McCain has not. Then it disparages him because he does not use a computer and does not know how to send email.

I think the ad will backfire. I know Obama is trying to hit the younger crowd. You know that crowd. It is full of self absorbed people who seek instant gratification and who always have to have the latest and greatest electronic gadget and can’t function without a cell phone stuck in their ears. This is the crowd that cannot find Vietnam (or many countries including the US) on a globe. Obama is appealing to them by deriding a man who is of a generation that is the least tech savvy. The ad is trying to show McCain has not changed but many elderly will see it as an attack on senior citizens. Obama might lose a number of people from a generation that is the most reliable voting block by trying to appeal to those who traditionally do not show up on election day.

That is a possibility but I think Obama has made a much more serious error. He has opened up the past as an avenue for exploration. Of course he has had his army of dirt bags in Alaska trying to dig up dirt from Sarah Palin’s past but Barry does not like to discuss his own past. We know the buzz words; too young, in the past, distraction, yada, yada, yada. The past is probably on the list of things Barry will not allow to be discussed but he has opened that door.

Obama opened up his past by discussing McCain’s and he could pay for that. It will now be fair to question Obama about his drug use when he used all kinds of drugs and used them a lot. He has stated that his drug use was his greatest moral failure and that it was a bad choice. Since Joe Biden said Hillary would have been a better pick than he, we can make the case that Obama made bad choices then and he makes bad choices now.

The first pinhead who talks about McCain being stuck in the past and not about change can expect to be asked about Obama’s drug use and how he can possibly be change we can believe in when he still makes bad choices.

BTW, McCain reads email but does not send it and he knows how to use a computer (not terribly well). The Obama ad does not mention that Bill Clinton only sent 2 emails during his term and said he did not understand the internet (and the inventor of it was his VP). McCain said he talks to people by phone and that he uses the internet to read his daughter’s blog and the news. However, he is unable to type effectively because of his war injuries. NRO reports this from a story that appeared in the Boston Globe in 2000. NRO also makes this point:

Oh one last point for now: Lord knows I think the chicken-hawk arguments are stupid. And I don’t think the fact that Obama never served in the military should count against him in and of itself. But how stupid is it for the Obama campaign to claim that McCain is unqualified to be president because he can’t grasp cyber-security issues based on the fact he has never sent an email when the McCain campaign can just as easily say Obama can’t understand first order national security issues because he’s never fired a rife, flown a plane, commanded men in battle, or faced an enemy? I mean which prepares someone to be commander in chief better, hitting “send” on AOL or fighting a war? [emphasis mine]
