Nothing Funny About the Damage the Ashley Madison Hack Will Do to People
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | August 20, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: This Ashley Madison hack, by the way, I was joking. But, you know what, that's gonna ruin, I mean really ruin some lives. I mean, a lot of people are laughing about this. And one of the reasons is apparently many of the e-mail addresses and the identities of people that were registered on that website are from Washington and work in government. But, I mean, this is a disaster for the people involved here. And you have to ask yourself, you know, okay, you want to have an affair? Why would you go to the Internet to register for the chance? Of all the places, when you know that there are hacks.

You don't know the people running these websites. You have no idea if they're gonna start selling information. Of all the ways in which you might want to engage in infidelity, why in the world would you sign up for it on the Internet? (interruption) Well, I know they said it was secure, but you have to understand that it isn't. Well, they're all lying about this. Everybody is lying about their prowess. They're lying about their looks. They're lying about their talents. They're lying about their age. They're lying about everything. (interruption) Oh, yeah, easy way to do it, right. I wouldn't know.

I'm just telling you -- well, we're sitting here laughing about it, but it is going to destroy. If this stuff ever does get fully disclosed, becomes plastered all over everything public, it's really going to destroy a lot of families, a lot of people. There's nothing funny about it in terms of the real damage this is gonna cause real people.

I’m sure a lot of these names have got to be just curious people who were just checking it out.

I mean, a dating site...for married people? What are the profiles like?

Now, if it has their credit card...then that’s probably a different story.

They did it to themselves. No sympathy from me.

Are you posting from your phone?

Bad habit.

Same reason that I kept getting Nigerian scam emails for 15 years. There were enough people out there who were stupid enough to keep falling for it.

For the perps, not so much.

The damage was done when these people chose to treat their sacred vows as toilet paper and signed up for this site. While I don’t support hackers or the revealing of personal information, I have zero sympathy or respect for the names found on those rolls.

What ever happened to meeting REAL people & talking with them, having dinner together, getting acquainted? The Mad Ashley method allows for putting out a photoshopped photo; then when you do meet someone, they don’t recognize you from the photo. - Like the model on Ashley Madison, photoshopped & cut from whole cloth. - “Relationships going nowhere.” Sad.

Ok let us be serious.

If someone unexpectedly hacked the site in order to reveal millions of cheaters in a massive data dump as collateral damage to fraudulently deny some individual a promotion, i still have to laugh at the rest while feeling sorry for the wronged individual.

This hack was not announced in advance so as to allow the dirty tricks you suppose. These cheaters were caught with their pants down and if they have any sense they will be talking to their spouses now.

Not necessarily the stupidest, but certainly the most arrogant.

More like criminal idiots.

Gov’t workers who signed up with their official .gov email addresses which means on a gov’t computer on gov’t time. Sometimes you just can’t fix stupid. 

Why not use your yahoo or gmail email address? What cretins! Probably in the EPA and are affirmative action babies. I guess they are not porn-surfing all the time. They go to adultery and dating sites too.

Actually, I think it’s kind of funny, myself.

I bet most people who signed up didn’t act on it, anyway.

so if I want to destroy someone I just have to enter their info into the site?

An email was entered into the Ashley Madison system for the office of Ted Cruz.

Was it a liberal trying to set Sen Cruz up in their pure hatred of conservatives or was there more to it?

We all know that most who seek high office have personalities and psychologies that tend towards infidelity.

The hackers warn of this exact thing on the search site. If the email address is there, it proves nothing.

But if the billing address and other information is there (credit card information, for example), it is pretty hard to deny.

Not true at all. Any email registered with the site, payment or no payment, shows up.
