The Twitter accounts of CBS's 60 Minutes and 48 Hours have been hacked and suspended.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, before the suspension, anti-Obama messages were sent:

"Exclusive: Terror is striking the #USA and #Obama is Shamelessly in Bed with Al-Qaeda," the tweet -- published around 12:30 p.m. PT to 60 Minutes' twitter feed and then re-tweeted on 48 Hours' feed -- reads.

**SNIP**

A group calling itself the "Syrian Cyber Army" took the credit this time - in a Tweet that originated in Indonesian.

An outfit called the "Syrian Electrionic Army" launched a similar attack on NPR last week.

The truth hurts, regardless of the source.

This is an attack on America, so we are all supposed to be upset and come together over this— BUT, I find it hilarious and I am reminded that the enemy of my enemy... is my friend.

Hat tip to the “Syrian Cyber Army”.

Probably the only truth that will come out of those purveyors of propaganda for a long time.

If they sent Obama worship messages nobody would have known.

Pray for America to Wake Up

They should have changed the "IHateBush" password some time during the past five years.
