F A hole.

[vaudine]

Throw the little bugger into jail and identify his father as a (D) in the headline.

That would happen if he were a Repub. In fact, in this case I would want the same for anyone. Just making the point that the MSM can never seem to identify a Dem. right off.

[WHBates]

Well we will see if this jerk goes to jail. Somehow I doubt it.

[DataDink]

Too bad the MSM will ignore the link with David Plouffe.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Good job, dumbass, committing a felony really helps your party.

[Tennessee Nana]

Yes, TN folk can turn on computers...

And ???????

[stainlessbanner]

wonder what the crackers and script kiddies think of this punk

[EyeGuy]

God in Heaven I hope it is not up to the BB-balled wimps in the Bush Justice Department to prosecute this little punk.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Put the little Commie ‘RAT in prison and let him spend his evenings telling his cellmate how he hacked the Governor’s email account.

[PhiKapMom]

His father is part of the Obama campaign in TN!

[elazarus]

Just pass the post regarding this guy and his dad to 10 people you know.......then have them send it to 10 people each.....

Let’s see who started this.

[ElkGroveDan]

Looks like the trail leads right back to The One.

[GeeMoney]

The big question is does he have ties to the Obama bin Biden camp?

[MCCRon58]

But his party wont be hurt when the MSM ignores yet another example of the dirty tricks department of the Obama/Dean DNC

[The Mayor]

Excellent! Now to jail for them all.

[Baynative]

"... identify his father as a (D) in the headline."

HA--- The media will bury it like they tried to do with this one.

[GOP Poet]

Just a matter of time before they connect him with someone related to the Obama campaign.

[DaveyB]

From the story:

UPDATE: Terry Frank has screen shots of his facebook pages. Seems there might be a connection to the Obama campaign.

Now why is that gun smoking?

[hsalaw]

We knew it would be some lib Obambi supporter. Jerk.

[devere]

Book him!

[mmichaels1970]

He’s 20?...as in over 18?....PERFECT.

[I_BE_THE_ONE]

Lock the jerk and his Dad up. Acorns don’t fall from the tree. Rats are crooked everywhere.

[Grig]

Stand by for ‘he’s just a child...’

[Vision Thing]

Looks like the trail leads right back to The One.

I look forward to Barack The Unabama's "I am not a crook" moment.

[mmichaels1970]

from the link:

SECOND UPDATE: A well-informed Tennessee radio host told me this about the hacker’s dad: “He is an extremely leftwing Rep. from Memphis. He has been a full time
state rep. for a long time and never had a real job.”

[CaptainK]

Nothing will happen to him.

Except maybe probation and a year in his room without the Internet.

[FlJoePa]

This guy is a little maggot, and the WaPo is a big maggot for publishing her e-mail address, but...

Sarah should be smarter than to use standard answers to the standard questions that yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc. use to reset passwords.

[hsalaw]

The big question is does he have ties to the Obama bin Biden camp?

The answer seems to be YES - see the article; he hoped to find something to pass on to the Zero.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I’m sure it was an accident.

[MHGinTN]

The son is just a reflection of the daddy. People around Memphis (the daddy’s district is out that way, which is the butt of the state, shapewise) will hail the little prick as a hero ... not enough collective IQ in Memphis to cross the river, and the area is the entitlement capital of the State.

[secret garden]

Shouldn’t that plain white tee have a big old FAIL across the front of it?

[Seaplaner]

From the Hillbuzz article...Though these people are not operating on direct orders from SoetorObama himself, the spirit of his campaign encourages this type of behavior, and prompts people like Kernell to commit what looks like three separate felonies in service of their ObaMessiah.

Sounds as if Mr. Kernell is a successfully " Organized" member of the Democrat community.

[Centurion2000]

Well we will see if this jerk goes to jail. Somehow I doubt it.

He'll be there soon enough. If Tenn delclines to prosecute the feds will be on it. If even the feds decline then I'm sure Alaska could use one more convict to pick up litter.

[Josh Painter]

That’s not what the Tennessean story says. It says that Kernell confirmed that his son is “at the center of heated Internet discussion into the hacking” and confirmed that his son “is being widely named on Internet blogs and chatrooms” in connection with the story. Nowhere in the Tennessean piece does Kernell confirm that the boy is, in fact, the hacker.

And the other blog post referenced in this thread doesn’t have any links in it whatsoever.

Now Kernell’s kid may indeed be the hacker, but I think Miniter jumped the gun. Shouldn’t that fact, if it is a fact, be confirmed before we go to Lowe’s, buy the rope and start picking out a tree with a good strong branch on it?

I’m sorry, but I’m an old school journalist who was taught to get independent confirmation from multiple sources before going with a story. So far, we don’t have one confirmation yet.

Let’s get real confirmation, and I’ll condemn the kid, his dad, the Obama campaign and the ass they all rode in on.

First things first...

Imagine if a Repub had hacked into Biden’s e-mail. Think the Establishment press would ignore that?

Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops

[arasina]

Stand by for ‘he’s just a child...’

If he's old enough to use the extremely foul language he did about his little escapade (crime, actually), he's certainly not a child.

[Foolsgold]

cuff him Dano

Look into the eyes of the modern Hitler Youth.

“His father is part of the Obama campaign in TN!”

Wonder if he will be fired like Obama promised. Keep telling your supporters to get in people's faces, seems to be working out great for you so far. This is the slimiest campaing I have ever seen period.

[o_zarkman44]

Breaking news! New PAC is formed to promote DemoRat ideas. The PAC is called “Felons for Obama”!

This elite group is comprised of current, and former felons incarcerated for crimes including but not limited to money laundering, bombing, kidnapping and killing Police, and computer e-mail hacking. Also included are a few members of the communist Party.

Felons for Obama will promote anything, legal or illegal, that will elevate their messiah to the top of the cathederal in Washington DC.

[Salamander]

We should get his home address and start sending him *lots* of these:

[EDINVA]

he’ll look good in an orange jumpsuit

[killer_rat]

I look at his picture and can’t help but think that he is inclined to “service” males in dimly-lit parking lots to support his meth habit.

Here’s what David Kernell, SoetorObama’s hacker, had to say for himself:

Earlier it was just some prank to me, I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be, just like all of you anon out there that you think there was some missed opportunity of glory, well there WAS NOTHING, I read everything, every little blackberry confirmation… all the pictures, and there was nothing, and it finally set in, THIS internet was serious business, yes I was behind a proxy, only one, if this shit ever got to the FBI I was fucked,

I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn’t know how to rapidshit all that stuff, so I posted the pass on /b/, and then promptly deleted everything, and unplugged my internet and just sat there in a comatose state.
