Beto O'Rourke was a teenage computer hacker who posted fiction about killing children, it was revealed Friday - a day after he threw himself into the Democratic president race.
O'Rourke acknowledged in an exclusive interview with the author of a forthcoming book that he belonged to the Cult of the Dead Cow, the oldest group of computer hackers in U.S. history.
Members of the hugely influential CDC, jokingly named after an abandoned Texas slaughterhouse, have protected his secret for decades, reluctant to compromise his political viability.
But O'Rourke said in an interview conducted during his failed run for the Senate last year that he was a member from the age of 15 until the age of 18, and pilfered long-distance phone service to fund his primitive family computer's connection to the 'bulletin boards' - predecessors of websites - on which the group existed.
He did not say if he engaged in credit card or calling card fraud, which other members of the group say they used to pay for their connections, and which could have been a felony if he had been caught.
And O'Rourke was revealed to have posted fiction during his time as a hacker, including a short story written from the point of view of a driver who intentionally killed two children because they were 'happy.'

Complete title: Beto O'Rourke was a member of computer hacking group called Cult of the Dead Cow who posted fiction about killing children and called himself 'Psychedelic Warlord'
He just doesn’t strike me as being able to code a Hello World, let alone be a hacker. Wanna wager that his membership consists of knowing someone who was a hacker...one time...at a party.
My gosh, he’s stupid.
Funny how the TX GOP never found about this during the Senate Race.
[ My gosh, he’s stupid. ]
That makes him PERFECT Democrat Presidential material.
I’m very sorry to say.
This guy strikes me as the type who would still be living in his Mom’s basement if he didn’t have a billionaire father-in-law.
What a bunch of stinkers. Pugh.
... and, he looks to still be a ‘tweaker’, too.
Ping.
re: “Rush Limbaugh has admitted to doing the same thing.”
Really!?? When!!??
I’ve got shows ‘on tape’ back to Lewinsky time frame, I’ll “double check” what it was you think you heard ...
“and pilfered long-distance phone service”
Rush Limbaugh has admitted to doing the same thing.
><><
You are the first I’ve heard this from. I certainly never heard it from Rush and I listened to him from the beginning until a few years ago.
the drones on the left don’t care- doesn’t matter what he did or continues to do- he has ‘kennedy-like charisma’ (because the media tells them low info dems that) and that is all that the drones care about- doesn’t matter what his policies are- doesn’t matter that he’s accomplished nothing significant in his life, doesn’t matter that he has zero experience in office- doesn’t matter that he’s accomplished nothing in politics— doesn’t matter that his policies will DESTROY everything trump has worked so hard to fix- doesn’t matter that the economy will tank- wallstreet will tank- illegals will pour into the country- none of that matters to the drones on the left- They are ‘star struck’ and blind as bats because of it-
That pic looks like he’s a mix of Adam Carolla and Butt-head after getting his braces off.
He was talking about Steve Jobs’ blue boxes that generated tones which dialed long distance calls for free. He said that he had one when he was working here in Pittsburgh. I was shocked.
yeah I feel the same... I think they are saying this to burnish his image, make him seem cool - not as a hit piece
O’Rourke - where’s Corporal Agarn?
They themselves weren't "pilfering" long distance service, but when the switch was flipped it somehow prevented people who called long-distance to them from being charged for it.
