Since when is it OK to violate somebody like this just because you THINK you disagree with them? I was one of those 205 with all my private info exposed just because I forked over $4.95 for 30 days. I had just joined so I could listen to an uninterrupted archive of broadcasts, not because I am some huge O’Reilly lover. I am not even a Republican; I have always voted Democrat and am currently undecided. I am trying to give thoughtful consideration to both sides and like the other Bill – Maher – I flip between Fox and CNN to hear both sides. What is so wrong with that?

These depicable criminal actions taken against Palin (and whoever condemns the hackings) expose the low class of the people following the Obama campaign: Terrorists, and hackers… with those followers, who needs adversaries?

“It would seem that college or university educated young americans have not been taught any concept of ethics.”

It would seem people who post blog comments need to be taught the concept of generalizations and how stupid they make you look.

what is wrong with you people and the author in particular ?

you think it’s ok to hack an email account ? you think O’Reilly (who I dont care for) deserved this ?

this has got to be the stupiest peice I have read in years. Because someone does something you dont like, you allowed to break the law ?

Right,So what your saying is that it’s ok becuase someone didn’t like what he was saying.Would it be ok if someone hacked this siite or one that you liked.Or your own personal stuff.
Geuss the person who commited the crime is good in your eyes and the victim is bad.
Hope to god your never in a position of power.
You really need a basis for ethics or you end up having none.

It would seem that college or university educated young americans have not been taught any concept of ethics. “It is OK [to do this] because I dislike you” is the general excuse.

Then once called upon such an egregious statement the pundit further digs a hole by intimating that “no harm was done.”

Who lacks the most moral clarity – the criminal or the person who defends them?

You have no real proof that accessing Palin’s account wasn’t malicious and they wouldn’t have used other information if it had been there.

Having the noble protestations of the asshole who did it doesn’t make the end justify the means or any other elastic situational ethics you want to use to excuse it. There has been real damage done as a direct result of an illegal action.

You have now lost any right to moral outrage of wiretaps and sampling packets for trigger words because it’s not mean to be harmful or malicious, it’s to keep you safe. Feel better?
