Assange IS a hero for this group and others like it, they completely support what he is doing. They claim to support the free-speech of wikileaks, that put our men, women servicing this nation at great peril with the drip, drip, drip of classified, sensitive diplomatic cables, defense information, war documents.

Will you really try to deny this isn't the work of far leftists?

According to ABC, this same group that attacked Paypal, MC and the others, is the same group that attacked Palin's website. Tapper put up a screenshot of the file found in the log files of the server.

I mean, what more proof do you need
?
I need evidence, which actually constitutes proof. Not your conjured belief that it must be so as that isn't evidence of anything but your opinion.

Do you even know who these people are, how many, their political leanings, country of origin, anything? No, you don't. Thus you are simply making stuff up as you go along.

Palin's facebook page is NOT on the same level as Visa, Mastercard, etc.
This is turning into a global infowar of some possibly mega proportion.

The people outside of the US..heck many of the people in side the US do not care about Palin.
She obviously thinks she's that important but she's nothing in this wikileaks story.

The very fact that a large number of "Palinisms" are issued forth from her Facebook page is exactly why it could be anyone. I mean this woman ran as a candidate for VP and has suggested she may run for President during the next cycle and she acts like a teenage girl that didn't get invited to the prom dance. The very fact she is a laughing stock among actual political leaders who use her as tool during campaign seasons when they aren't busy rolling their eyes at the profound level of ignorance this woman has. Not to mention she has spit in the face of the establishment GOP this last election, those hacking DDOSing her Facebook or myspace or twitter or whatever could be anyone.

Well, according to ABC and the actual evidence they have seen - her website appearing on a list of targets to attack from this group, the screenshot of the log file from the server that ABC News has posted - what more proof do you need?

Maybe an admission by the group of their criminal activity would do it for you.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpu...n-payback.html

Exclusive: Sarah Palin Under Cyber-Attack from Wikileaks Supporters in 'Operation Payback'*

Again, where would you place assange on the political spectrum? Are you ok that he is trying to exact maximum damage on US foreign policy?

I just have to ask; Have you looked around the blogosphere lately about this guy? WHO is cheering him on? It certainly is not the right.

She's also reporting they went after her and her husband's credit cards.
This just doesn't fit the MO of Operation Payback.

And then she goes on to say ..."no wonder people are afraid to speak out against wikileaks..."

They are only jamming websites, not hacking into them.
I think she's emulating "Never let a good crisis go to waste"

I know what group is doing this but I have yet to see proof that they are "leftist" as YOU claim.

Do you know any of these members, do you know their political leanings or again are you just making stuff up?

From your very own post that I know you read but selectively forget.

Quote:
Anon_Ops describes itself as an "anonymous, decentralized movement which fights against censorship and copywrong." It has enlisted volunteers "create counter-propaganda, organizing attacks (DDoS) on various targets related to censorship (time, date and target will be published by that time)." For that reason, it is difficult to ascertain the exact motivation of any attacker.
I'm sure among all these hackers there is a leftist or two along with some conservatives, libertarians and a whole bunch of kids who couldn't give a rats patootie about politics, but as you posted in the OP, you stated as fact that it was some leftist group

Now prove it.

I can't follow the regurgitation from the Beck chalk board either. Its like reading the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon from a parallel universe conjured in the paranoid minds of the semi-conscious.

Well, it's fairly obvious who I'm talking about, but maybe you should read the ABC news piece so you'll know for sure. Of course, you could have already done that, it's a short piece, 5, 6 paragraphs.

Just so you know, Anonymous has people from all kinds of backgrounds, and all kinds of political leanings.
Be nice, or they'll come after you.....there are some of them on this forum.
