Hacker cracks Sen. Grassley’s Twitter, corrects his grammar

[Playinghardball]

hacker claiming to be a “follower” of Anonymous gained access to the Twitter page of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Monday afternoon, posting a bevy of tweets intended to embarrass the long-time politician.

He claimed he was particularly motivated by Grassley’s support of SOPA and PIPA, the anti-piracy bills recently stalled in Congress.

“Dear Iowans, vote against ACTA, SOPA, and PIPA, because this man, Chuck Grassley, wants YOUR internet censored and all of that BS,” the first hacked tweet said.

“Chuck is a supporter of SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA, meaning he wants no privacy for private accounts.”

1. The hacker made grammatical errors, too. n/t

2. I wrote back to my school board president and corrected half of her letter

to me with a red pen. I quit after half a page because there were 60 errors. I wrote at the top F/Rewrite for grade change.

She cried.

She deserved it.

You should have read the letter. Illiterate is kind.

5. My sister got fired because she corrected a letter that was sent out to the parents with all kinds

of spelling errs. It was their lose.

6. It usually is. I am sorry for her. Solidarity against the tyranny of the stupid

hug her for me.

7. She is doing okay now. Was very upset at the time.

3. Chuckles should have been put out to pasture long ago

He's been living off the public teat for 53 (!) years.

The hacking gets out the message about how he votes against Iowans' interests, I guess.

4. I just heard that he won't run for re-election in 2016.
