""Wikileaks" explained in an earlier email that it was making public the information on Coleman's donors, including their credit card numbers, because of the "Coleman campaign's effort to impugn the election processes in the State of Minnesota." As a result of Wikileak's mass email of a spread sheet containing credit card information for thousands of Coleman donors, the Coleman campaign sent an email to its supporters today suggesting that they cancel their credit cards."

You’re not being hyperbolic at all. It is a threat. It’s also criminal.

It sounds like Coleman supporters (whose information has been stolen) should contact their local police and file charges against the owners/operators of wikileaks.
Yes, it is. One "wonders" what Eric Holder's DOJ plans to do about it. My guess is "nothing at all".
“Yes, it is. One “wonders” what Eric Holder’s DOJ plans to do about it. My guess is “nothing at all”.”
The Democrat party is a criminal organization.
There is a quote engraved above one of the entrances to the DOJ, it reads, “Where Justice Ends, Tyranny Begins.”
So now you have the answer. Question is what are Americans going to do about tyranny?
IIRC, the rat was fired. No charges filed.
I got the e-mail from wikileaks. My card was already cancelled, after being used on ‘adult’ sites (and, NO, it was not by me).
The left still hypes Watergate while their squalid terrorism against dissidents continues with impunity.
One way to protect yourself — and I’m going to do this in the future — is to open up a separate bank account at a separate bank (from all your other accounts) and get a debit card (with no credit) and keep the account balance very low, close to zero.
When you want to donate $500 to someone, transfer the $500 from one of your “real” accounts and use the debit card to give that $500 to the candidate of your choice.
For a little effort (it’s easy), you not only protect yourself but you have the satisfaction of thwarting potential political attacks on your money.
The cardholders won’t take the big hit, the card issuers will. No doubt, the hackers use this logic to justify their crimes.
That’s the way liberals think.
“It’s also criminal.”
Yes, it is. One “wonders” what Eric Holder’s DOJ plans to do about it. My guess is “nothing at all”.
Only if it was done to a democrat is it criminal. Republicans are fair game and there are no laws that will be enforced.
They aren’t hackers. They are criminals.
I have received three emails from the anti-American Nazi criminals who got the information. Their name is WIKILEAK.
I have a feeling that this is going to be unpopular, but another way to protect yourself is to use Bank of America's "Shop Safe." I honestly have no idea if any other banks have a feature like this, but the other banks with whom I do business do not.
"Shop Safe" allows you to set up "pseudo-cards," with a unique card number, expiration date (you can set it up to expire in as little as 2 months), and a maximum spending limit (which can be increased or decreased as needed), and that 3 digit security code. While the charges are charged to your "real" BofA credit card, none of the account information of your "real" card is released. Another bonus is that once you've used that card number at one vendor or merchant, that account information is ONLY valid for that vendor or merchant - nobody else.
I use it all the time when I do on-line purchases, and I've been using for about 3 years now with no problems at all. Another place where it's very useful is for "subscription services" that can sometimes be a nightmare in canceling. You can set up the "card" to expire whenever you like, so the company can't keep charging you after you've told them to stop. In the past, I've had to contact the credit card company to have the card canceled and get a new card issued, which was a hassle.
Like I said before, I know that Bank of America isn't terribly popular here, but this is a feature that works well, and I haven't found it at any other bank with whom I do business.

“what Eric Holder’s DOJ plans to do about it.”
History shows us numerous examples of what happens when justice is perverted. The French Revolution is one example.
I want to say something, but such happenings make me so angry I can’t find the right words.
