He would be considered elderly over at DU...
I just went to check the dummie's reaction to this story. I had to scroll way down before I found a thread on the subject. I guess they aren't very interested in it. Here is a sampling of pithy DU comment. Cleaned up a little.
In my view, this kid, if proven responsible for the incursion into Palin's email, is a whistleblower and deserves protection from the law. Palin is not supposed to conduct official business in outside email accounts.
Good luck with that one.
As someone who does computer stuff a lot, I have nothing but enmity for those of any political stripe who would abrogate the privacy of another, regardless of their party affiliation. Also, if he was a sincere whistleblower, he should have secured a lawyer familiar with the process and proceeded with his evidence with the counsel of said lawyer. Yes, his evidence does clearly show official malfeasance on the part of Palin and others. But the manner in which he handled it, posting it on that internet s***hole "4chan", points to the sad fact that he was not a sincere, altruistic whistleblower, but one of the rabble that hangs there, the rabble that does stuff like that and posts it there to receive the accolades of the assembled. Accolades that tend to be accompanied with a lot of drool. Maybe he should have stuck with the nude photographs that underage girls post of themselves there. The fact is, the kid is gonna go down hard. His a** is in a legal woodchipper. A lot of political heavyweights are gonna be vying for his head, mounted and hung on the wall of their cigar parlor.
I wonder how much of the “the computer stuff” he does involves checking out nude photos of underage girls.
This kid will get a surprisingly harsh sentence and yet, a bunch of people who exposed a CIA agent (against all law) get talk shows on Faux ...
Is this a reference to Valerie Plame? Dude, get over it!
Republicans will probably try to put him in gitmo.
It’s been suggested more than once right here at FR.
