Sara Palin's Yahoo Email Account Gets Hacked
Allegations that American VP hopeful, Sara Palin, uses her Yahoo! email account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) to conduct Alaska state business was just too tempting for hackers.A team of hackers dubbed "Anonymous" breached Gov. Palin's Yahoo e-mail account, and posted a number of announcements and screenshots to several sites on the Internet including Wikileaks.org and Gawker.com. The hackers were able to mask their tracks by using a CTunnel.com proxy server, but the released screenshots include some partial IP data which authorities might be able to use to catch them.
Palin's personal email account(s) isn't just coming under fire from hackers, but also government watchdogs. It's believed that Governor Palin was using this Yahoo email account to avoid government transparency mechanisms. Also, after recovering the password from Yahoo, Palin's people deleted the Yahoo email account. Isn't that a destruction of evidence?
A satirical poster naming the Palin email incident "Emailgate."
The John McCain campaign released this statement about the Yahoo the incident:
"This is a shocking invasion of the governor's privacy and a violation of law. The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them."
John McCain has nothing to worry about. McCain doesn't even know how to use a email (we're not joking).

I think its totally immoral that someone hacked into her email account. I thought private email accounts were private but I guess not according to Liberals who disregard the privacy act. As far as the comment about John McCain how horrible to make fun of someone with a disability. Especially by a disability that occured from being a POW. The only thing I can say and I pray this is true 'WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND"

So... does this tamper evidence for any court proceedings against Palin for circumventing her official e-mail? she deleted the account... which seems to work out in her favor, as it's now a well-reported public story, and she can use this hacking incident as an excuse for no longer having any incriminating emails.

The first one to disregard any privacy act was George W. To just blame the slightest thing on Liberals is just plain ignorance, grow up!

what i don't understand is why all the rage against someone who has some morals? I thought liberals were the ones to be so "tolerant" or maybe i was wrong to think that would include a christian. My mistake,i guess tolerance is for everyone except christians. Damn those christians for having morals!
