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.

You're right, of course. The Dems will scream bloody murder that it's "the Bush administration" taking politically-motivated action against the kid....even though Bush would have nothing to do with it.

At the very least, I hope that UT will expel the student for having violated their internal policies against perpetrating fraud using their network.

Oh c’mon. Where is your desire to live on the edge? /sarcasm

I live in a city that is 60/40 black to white. I’ve got a McCain/Palin yard sign and a sticker on my car. Of course I do check my car everyday in the parking garage to see if anything has happened to it.

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

He has also embarassed the secret service.

The secret service is very proud of their ability to protect candidates. Not just their personal safety. There are many ways to harass, threaten, and intimidate a candidate, and the secret service tries to prevent them all.

It wouldn’t matter if this was a democratic candidate or a republican one. The secret service has been shown up by a 20 year old kid. They will make an example of him to ensure nobody (liberal or conservative) dares try this type of thing again.

Go forth and go on the attack Obama-bots! Hack those private e-mails! Spread slander and deceit! Steal votes! Shut down all free speech! Threaten your neighbors! Key the cars with opposition bumper stickers! Victory at all costs!

Cowardly? LOL...ok. It’s cowardly to want to protect your family and property?

And how is putting 8 millions signs on a cul de sac going to sway anyone?

Run along.

On his blog he admits to being institutionalized multiple times in his life, so my guess is that Daddy checked him into some posh “rehab” center and he’ll use the “I have a disease” defense. And of course, expect the family to issue privacy concerns.

Only in America would the possibility of a perp's life being ruined by media exposure outweigh the fact that he criminally attempted to ruin the life of someone else by invading their privacy.

I fully expect that what you state will happen. It'll be 'poor little messed up kid who got too zealous and doesn't deserve to spend the next 5 years in Federal Pound-It-In-The-A__ Prison.'

Just once I'd like to see that thrown out. That little rat bastard criminally broke into a candidate's private email in the hopes of influencing an election. A story like that 35 years old eventually led to a president resigning.
What did Obama know and when did he know it?

You know what really gets me? Everyone wants a “free” internet. No laws. Yet every time someone little puck ass brat who sets in his basement hacks some website/email we inch even closer to a internet ran by the government. Yet these “hackers” want freedom. They don’ get it.

I cannot wait until I finally get my McCain/Palin bumper stickers!! One is going right on my car, the others to people in my office.

My hubby is worried that I may find myself with a flat tire, broken-in car or being run off the street due to the craziness shown by Obama thugs.

But, I refuse to let fear hinder my right to publicly support my candidate! Besides, I have a plastic Saturn...

Wouldn’t it be interesting if someone got this guys picture and photoshopped it on some guys body that is having sex with a barnyard animal posted it on YouTube, My Space and Facebook so he can see what it feels like to be violated by a faceless punk.

I would hesitate to blame the father for the crimes of the son, in ANY context. But the FBI should investigate this particular case very thoroughly in order to find out the facts - it stinks of a typical Dem dirty trick.

If anything happens to your car, call the police, the newspaper, and any radio station you can think of. The more it gets into the press the kinds of things that Democrats do, the worse Democrats look.

The Perp who hacked Palin e-mail account , David Kernell, and exposed her family to all kind of physical and mental harm. Hope they sue the pants off of you and your family.
