Identity of Sarah Palin Hacker Revealed By His Own Dad (Dems for Obama)
exflux.media ^ | sept 19,2001 | Eric Blair

Posted on 09/19/2008 8:27:41 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776

State Representative Mike Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, made a statement to the Tennessean in which he identified his son, David Kernell, as the hacker who broke in to vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s email address and posted screenshots of the contents on the internet.

Mike Kernell represents District 93, which covers the University of Memphis, and parts of south-east Memphis. He told the Tennessean on Thursday that it was indeed his son David who, using the handle Rubico, posted the original screenshots of Governor Palin’s e-mail account after using Yahoo’s password recovery service and a bit of research to find out personal details about Palin and subsequently gain control of her password. The father refused to make any further comment, especially on the whereabouts of his son.

David Kernell, aged 20, is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Using the handle Rubico, he made a post on the 4chan.org forums, in which he alleges that he is the one who is responsible for leaking Governor Palin’s e-mail inbox details online, and goes on to provide a believable account of how he did it.

I'll wager a dollar to a donut, however, that nothing is done to the kid.

Then why do we bother to send Congress back to Washington to write more meaningless laws, for all the good they do us?

You are right. And they should drum that father out of office. He has taught that stupid punk kid of his no values.

You're right. The left tried to pin Bristol Palin's pregnancy on Sarah Palin's parenting, we should do the same to this moron's father. After all, that's where he learned his values, right? /s Only problem is getting a liberal talking head to ask the question. Maybe Rush could bring it up.

What can be done about this?

Can the state senator be brought up on ethics charges in his statehouse for harboring a federal criminal? Can he be charged as an accessory after the fact and be expelled from the state senate?

When an Obama surrogate comes out with this line, I wish Britt Hume would ask him if he’d feel the same way if a twenty-year-old “kid”, son a of a Republican Congressman, did this to Biden or Obama. The Left would be calling for his public beheading.

When you park in a place that you feel any vandalism might be likely to happen, stand somewhere away from the car, videocam or phone at the ready, to video the creeps in action.

We can’t be afraid. Then they win. I have 3 McCain Palin stickers on my car and one McCain/Hero Obama/Zero. I also have a yard sign. I’m a proud Republican and I will not hide my pride.

Like the ‘rat creep who tore the sign out of a little girl’s hands at a Republican rally. What ever happened to that creep? Too bad her father didn’t deck him.

We’ve already had my mini-van broken into.

Unfortunately, my kids are gang smart, and they know the realities of living in this state. I was up near Oakland last weekend. There’s no kind of protection for a vehicle when you are not with it, and I know my car would have been targeted with a McCain/Palin sticker on it.

I also drive kids around a lot, and I’m not going to put them at risk.

Most sign shops carry magnetic sheets for making those signs you see on some service trucks. I used the magnetic refrigerator football schedules we get every year. I still have the oval W 04 on my riding mower.

Now, I made similar ones with the red slash through the O and OBAMA stickers. I get plenty of #1 driver gestures in Austin.

Upon hearing the news, Barack Obama held a press conference and a rally telling supporters that McCain didn’t know what an email was and revealed the hacker was a lobbyist. Obama spoke out saying, “hacking corruption in Washington had to stop.” He called for a federal subsidy to investigate hacking and blamed President Bush for having no regulations.

This reminds me of when I was a young teenager, living in Southern California. We attended a rally for Nixon in 1972, and a couple years after he resigned my brother had the bright idea of putting up the bumper sticker on our station wagon.

We both thought it was funny, but my dad said, “Don’t do that. Do you want to have somebody throw rocks at our car?”

Even then, we were living in a dangerous world. What is it like now with these deranged, ruthless, ‘Rats?

I knew you and your husband couldn’t be intimidated by the left Nutmeg. Goes without saying. :-}

FWIW I understand your concern for your children so any remarks I’ve made would not apply to cars carrying children in unsafe areas. Me? I’m 57, in good shaoe and relishing the thought of an Obamanut getting in my face because of my bumper stickers. LOL

Hey, get this! The son of a state Rep. from Memphis hacked into Sarah Palin’s computer.

Is the dad a lawyer, and what’s the kid’s major?

The last 2 elections, I have had bumper stickers on my car. This is the first one that I’ve been concerned about. I was pretty surprised that my kids said that we shouldn’t put a McCain one on our car.

We’ll probably put a McCain sign at our house, but our neighborhood is nice. It’s kind of secluded, and people that disagree with us are at least law-abiding.
