Freepers, who gave Rove a pass for outing a CIA agent, high-five Palin Yahoo hacker guilty verdict |
|
I just don't get it. I really don't. I'm not saying that I approve email hacking...I most certainly do not.
But wouldn't you think that if a group of people hungered and thirsted for "justice" as much as the hillfolk over at Free Republic do on this Palin thing, they might have also been calling for the bloated head of Karl Rove on a pike?
You MIGHT think that. And you would be WRONG.

8. And yet she delivers Facebook Fatwas on how the Yahoo thing was "just like Watergate." |

I really want to see President Obama have a "You know what? The fucking gloves are OFF" moment, one where he just snaps and becomes super-focused super-President and blowtorches the nation's concept of what a "leader" is. I want the American people to gather in 2012, en masse, and say "We've GOTTA re-elect this man."
That George W. Bush "Miss Me Yet" thing is more like "How can I miss you when you won't go away," because even though Junior himself has kepr a relatively low profile, his special brand of idiocy has continued through Palin, Bachmann, Huckabee...even Santorum has re-surfaced.
And yet the American public still pounds it down, like a Big Mac from the drive-through window. I don't get it. I really don't.

4. Please don't call them "hillfolk." |
|
That's an insult to those of us (who, ironically, live in Knoxville and work for an information security company) are real "hillfolk" and won't wouldn't piss on Palin or her brand of rightwingers if they were on fire.

10. 95% of my clients are that dumb. |
|
I use RoboForm, which lets you generate passwords that are a random mix of numbers and upper/lower case letters.
You also have to save the password somewhere else in case your hard drive dies or something, because if RoboForm dies, the password dies with it.
But at least 95% of my clients will frequently pick a 5-character password which includes their name, their birthdate, something an eighth grade could crack without breaking a sweat. I have to encourage them to do otherwise, and more often than not they resist because they say they will "never remember that."

11. They crowed triumphantly about the East Anglia University e-mails being hacked. |
|
At worst this is hypocritical. At best it is inconsistent.

I thought about prosecutions and was advocating for them, but better council gave the thought of what is more important, fixing things then doing prosecutions, so things can be fixed without the divisiveness of prosecutions. However justice requires enforcement, not two tier systems.
However the health care could have gone better, and much is still to do in many areas.
But the point is, yes we have to establish justice, and justice served for figureheads of systems is important.
But pointing out the failures of the ideologies, and the people behind those figureheads are more important, since they help create the situation where they can get social influence.
It seems the wrong at the head of the snake is better to stop, then the rattle they used at the tail. That wrong is the ideologies that have been failing the system.
Although I agree enforcement is important.

13. They don't care about justice, they want to win and watch our side crash and burn. |
|
Freepers hate us and want us dead, justice is a joke.
