"progressive" is Orwellian doublespeak for regressive.

Obama refuses to give up his Blackberry, of course its monitored and recorded by the Secret Service but still it is also open to hacking.
And that raises the questions of national security, if Obama continues to use a device that can be hacked and he has information of a secure nature then he is committing treason.
Welcome to the Whitejailhouse Barry.

If members of Astalavista were actually involved with this, it had absolutely nothing to do with politics. They're mostly pretty liberal.
The blog-server owner wrote the blog platform but he didn't secure it, and it was being used as a proxy. From the story, it sounds like the internet provider notified the server owner.....meaning the internet provider saw the traffic, not that the servers were being attacked.
This guy's just being a lefty drama queen.
If Astalavista could find a backdoor to proxy through FR, they'd use it and none of us would notice it.

I used to subscribe to the .com. They had some sweet tools there.

“...and he has information of a secure nature...”
I’m hoping the adults in charge of him don’t let him anywhere near information of a secure nature.

Altavista was one of my favorite websites & search engines WAY BACK when Dial-up and Clinton were NEW!

Don't know the backstory, but this comment seems humorous:
you geniuses are referring to ALTAVISTA not astalavista
