I'm suggesting readers go to Michelle Malkin's site and access the resources there about this rangey issue. And the story behind the hacking.

I write "rangey" as to this issue because the hacking of Sarah Palin's private email account -- a criminal offense and I hope the offending criminals get a heavy-handed dose of legal remedies applied to them -- appears to involve the same general group of Leftists on the internet who have been harassing the public for a long time now, nearly everywhere any opinion is contributed that isn't among the Far-Left kind, and certainly as to Conservatives and those who discuss Conservative opinions.

It's becoming easy to spot these offenders: they suggest or allude to private information associated with otherwise public, non-disclosing online identities and they create websites and forums for that purpose, making baseless, disgusting allegations as to those they target. In my experience (having been targeted before by such activity online), the predominant motive shared by this criminal behavior or borderline criminal offensiveness is to harass and harm anyone who does't support "'gay' marriage," who is Christian and/or trends toward the Conservative in life and opinions, certainly as to anyone not voting for the Left.

But make no mistake: this is criminal activity by those involved, and I include the naming of a few high-traffic websites in that, sites that exist to brew the hyperbole involved and keep it agitating. In other words, they're the allegedly credible sites that assist in this sort of defammation and other harms.

Malkin's written a good review of most of this.

Among the most amusing but insane -- certainly desperately irrational -- accusations made by one of the websites involved in this (as also previous) online smear-and-attack efforts by the Left, is this:

Gawker complained that Palin has since "deleted" the (hacked email) account, and suggested she was trying to "destroy evidence."

Meanwhile, let's look at actual destruction of evidence and informatioin trails, and that'd be by the political interests eager to see Palin hacked, abused, harassed and ridiculed, meaning, the Barack Obama Democrats:

...read the whole article, access the links included there, it's time-consuming and a difficult read, but well worth the effort to gain increased insight into the disgusting, abusive world of Barack Obama.

UPDATE:

More droll idiocy from another idiot via domain register "markmonitor.com" -- also registration-home to the ridiculous GAWKER and other pond scum (the "Denton" Spamhole in the ground) -- writing to me from IPA 67.76.202.152 in Indiana ("embarq.com" hosted by "embarqhsd.net" - "Embarq Corporation", Winter Park, FLA if their WHOIS can be believed) . The comments are left by someone referring to "it"self as as, "Anonymous" and they quote the icky Anonymous subheader -- then refer to me as "nigger nigger nigger" (<==actual reprint of what "they" or it wrote).

This latest message (comment from a few hours ago, trash deposited on this site), refers to me as "nigger nigger nigger". My parents and other ancestors from Northern Europe would find that, also, idiotic, as I do. At least get an insult correct, call me "white person white person white person" and be done with it -- since race seems to be the sticking point by this latest and previous spam and other harassing crud on the internet about me, at least get the "insult" right, since, in my experience, it's "White people" who these crazy spammers and harassers have a problem with.

More indication that the Obama Left is not only desperate, they're depraved. Must be why Hollywood is involved. And other idiots on the inernet.

Some history (this has occured before):

The two Spam memes by idiots about me:

(1.) Accusation about me that I am "nigger nigger nigger" -- their statement in the latest junk message left on this site -- as mirrored by previous (what looks to have been Nick Denton or Denton-affiliated) Spam about me, that whole "Black" thing; and,

(2.) Accusation about me of being "a lesbian" (also involved in [1.] -- this lie about me has been intertwined with the racial denigration many times in spam, referrer spam, insane comments and other derisive, hate-filled Leftist screed about me); Denton's "kinja" site directed massive "lesbian-p0rn" spam to my site address and tried cross-linking their gunk to me -- this isn't a new occurence, unfortunately, and then there were several spamsites created for that purpose (also, by "Anonymous" under various ridiculous identities).

For a group so keen on both those two issues ("racial minoritiies" and "homosexaulity"), the Liberal/Left sure is haplessly unable to restrain themselves from using both contexts to ridicule others, thus rendering their own credibility to be something less than zero.

And, my family surname, "Rice," is the same surname of individuals such as Condoleezza Rice and the abusive "Susan Rice" (who rants for Obama and "black people" on HBO and in our government).

But neither of those two persons are related to me. There are other "Black people" today whose surnames are, also, "Rice" but they're not relatives of mine, either.

In the U.S. today, there are many Black people with English and other European surnames ("Smith," "Jones," "Fleming," "Washington," "Wright," etc.) -- this does not mean that all persons of those surnames are related (no shared ancestry on various later branches of that same family surname), but that at some past point in time, some male with such surname fathered a child with a Black woman who either arrived here from Africa/Middle East or whose ancestors did. Not all males with one surname are actually related, beyond, perhaps, the time of Adam and Eve.

In my ancestry, family history, as to the Rice surname, my branch of relatives (names, dates of birth and death, places of both, spouse and children's names) have been reasonably well identified, including way back to Norman, Celt and Anglo-Saxon years in the British Isles. The "Rice" family name is Welsh, originally, and remains today in the U.K. all over Ireland, Wales and England, either known there as "Rice" or "Rhys" -- there's even a Gaelic spelling of the name which remains active in, mostly, Wales. All of those people are and were, "White" or "Caucasian" of the Northern European variety. So am I, then, since these are my ancestors.

Some of the first and earliest Rice immigrants from mostly, Wales, settled in the Southeast U.S. where they grew tobacco and other cash-crops. They ALSO "owned" "slaves." That's not unusual in many family histories that span pre-Civil War years.

My grandmother, whose childhood was lived in the years just after slavery ended -- and whose family did have slaves before that -- told the story that many Blacks who lived as slaves assumed the surnames of those who "owned" them and from whence they later were set free (though some remained on in those same locations, not chosing to leave those areas even after the Civil War, regarding both location and situation as "home" as also the European surname/s they'd assumed). So, just being named "Rice" or anything else does not establish any genetic relationship -- the history of the South and early U.S. is more complicated than that (then there's also the folks who immigrated and whose surnames were rewritten at that time for various reasons).

I've looked at my own family tree, however, and there aren't any branches that were created by a deed or deeds such as that, not among anyone known to be my ancestor (not that there'd be anything wrong with that, except, of course, to the Left who works these racial issues into their useful frenzy). that means, no one of African ancestry was my ancestor (again, except in the context of Adam and Eve). The name originates in the U.K. with some more distant ancestors in Europe. They were all Caucasians.

In the case of individuals such as Condoleezza Rice and the screeching Susan Rice, however, (both of whom are "Black" people), if there's curiosity about their ancestors, go ask either or both of them -- don't ask me because we're not related, I don't have the foggiest idea who their ancestors were, how they and others of their race came to be named "Rice," but I do know there's no known "shared ancestor" as to any family-branch known to exist between them and me. There was either some lone man whose name was "Rice" who fathered a child or children with a woman of African origin, or, there were enough people from Africa living on after the Civil War who adopted the surname of Rice and that's multiplied by today, but that lineage is aside from my own.

Let's look at this more closely:

(1.) If there WAS some "Black woman" somewhere in times past who bore a child or children to a man whose last name was "Rice," whose child or children then grew up to be one of my ancestors, so what? It wouldn't bother me and I would not be spending any time or concern to either fretting about it or losing any sleep over the idea of such.

My ancestry as a Rice, as to my known ancestors of Rices, is well identified by now, so, that whole line of denigration (so the Left tries to use this issue as) is what I'd call a junkyard-variety lie.

(2.) I'm heterosexual. I've never had so much as a fantasy sexually about another woman, I don't desire women sexually, I have no history of "experimentation" sexually with any woman throughout my entire lifetime, there's just nothing there to even associate me, realistically, with anything homosexual.

I worked in the entertainment industry for a number of years and the obvious about that is that there are a lot of homosexuals IN that industry. And, after living and working in Los Angeles and San Francisco, it was my experience that there are a lot of homosexuals who congregate/live there also, so, to live/work in either or both locations is to eventually interact with some who are homosexual, either as next door neighbors, coworkers or people you meet with some regularity in stores, social groups, dinners with friends, in the course of business.

In my time in both cities, i was always polite with homosexuals and never used the context of what their behaviors were, versus mine, as any topic of conversation or took issue with them accordingly. So much for tolerance, apparently -- mine has been wasted on the nitwit Left. And ridiculing heterosexuals is no way to "sell" "'gay' marriage" -- in fact, it does everything to ensure that the rest of us work to disassociate from that whole pool of interest.

So, to the Left, it appears, if someone's ever so much as known a homosexual, unless you're Liberal, you "must be one" -- it takes a complete lack of rationality and reason to even try to understand that methodology by the Left, which I think can be boiled down to they're insane and demand everyone else be insane, too . So that's another junkyard-variety lie by the Left about me.

I can imagine that WHY these lies occur about me -- as also about others on the Right -- is that we aren't suffering, nor supporting, indoctrinations about Barack Obama and/or the Democrat Left. Also, as to those of us who do not agree that there is something in the area of "marriage" that involves being "gay," I guess the Left just has no context to grasp other than to call people names of whatever seems useful to them while revealing they're both liars and idiots in doing so.

So, I write again, no wonder Hollywood throws money at that: there's grubby profits to be had by lying about other people. They throw money at some people walking Santa Monica Boulevard, too.

Regarding an article by John Allen, Jr. in the National Catholic Register:

"...there's a bit of political irony for Catholics. Given Palin's strong pro-life credentials, it's likely she will appeal to the most strongly "denominational" Catholics, those most devoted to traditional Catholic identity and teaching. Meanwhile, what one might call "post-denominational Catholics," meaning those for whom religious branding carries less theological significance, may embrace Palin's Democratic rival, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, the lone Roman Catholic on either ticket, because of his progressive stands on social and political matters.

"In other words, the denominationalists on the Catholic side will back the post-denominationalist, while the Catholic post-denominationalists will probably pick the candidate who bears the Catholic denominational label."

There is this added commentary at The Catholic Blog:

"...Sarah Palin's son is a concrete reminder that she not only espouses pro-life talk, but that she lives a pro-life life. I think this is particularly "disturbing" to the 90% of women who upon learning that they have a Down's Syndrome baby choose to abort it.

"Final note - read Allen's article. in the last paragraph he finds humor in the fact that conservative Catholics will vote for Palin, a former Catholic, while many Protestants will vote for Biden, a current Catholic. I would of course disagree with his assertion that Biden is Catholic, in any flavor."

I agree with both of them.

What's emerging is that there are Catholics-who-are-Catholics and then there are Liberals who attend or associate as Catholics who are mostly Liberals such as Joe Biden is: their support of issues as advised by the Catholic faith is "movable" depending upon their political interests, which then define their religious issues perspectives.

To the contrary, most of us who are Catholics-who-are-Catholics are voting for the pro-life team of John McCain and Sarah Palin, while the others complain about the rest of us.

I'm going to write more about this voting characteristic as to the "Catholic vote" -- which is being underestimated by the Liberal media if not but for the mere fact that most of the Liberal media does not understand Catholics and they write accordingly -- in another few days. So check back later...

Via littlegreenfootballs, this report from "zombietime" replete with excellent photo and video record of what actually occured in Denver on this one instance -- counter-protestors harassed protestors, Code Pink in concert with the counter-protestors instigated and harassed the police and then feigned harms when the police responded.

Zombie captures the reality on the ground, close-up and close-in, as to what really transpired (and explains at what moments the media present "edited reality" [my term for it] by withholding film record at crucial moments).

Instead, what we, the public saw from and about the DNC convention in Denver last week, was, glossed-over rosey golden hum-right by candlelight and sun. What we saw was staged, in other words, another construct of the "fantasy, imaginary candidacy" of Barack Obama.

Zombie also has some other excellent photos from the whole Denver experience, also all found via littlegreenfootballs. The "Democratic Convention Giant Puppet Parade" is very, very funny, in an uncomfortable, stupid sort of way. We sure didn't see these stupid Democrats on the MSM (or even read about them).

How the media and left-wing blogs combined to create a police scandal out of thin air

The real story behind the Alicia Forrest/Carlo Garcia arrests.

On Tuesday, August 27, during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, I witnessed an incident that seemed at the time to be rather minor, but which over the subsequent days turned into a major scandal -- primarily due to a video posted online by the Rocky Mountain News. This carefully edited video shows Officer Stewart of the Denver Police knocking Alicia Forrest of Code Pink to the ground during a protest, and then, after an edit, Forrest getting arrested by other officers. This video has created a firestorm among left-wing blogs, and also engendered many follow-up stories in the Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain News, Westword, and other mainstream Denver media outlets.

However, I personally witnessed the entire incident, from the beginning to the end, and can say without reservation that the Rocky Mountain News video is intentionally deceptive, and crafted to make the protester (Alicia Forrest) appear to be a victim of needless police brutality. I have photographic and video proof, shown below, that Alicia Forrest "asked for it" in the sense that she disobeyed police commands to stay back and also taunted the police; and that she was not seriously injured by Officer Stewart; and that the Rocky Mountain News in particular committed an act of media malfeasance by purposely posting on their site a deceptive video that left out all the context surrounding the incident. Furthermore, many blogs jumped on the story and trumpeted it as evidence of police misbehavior, when in fact there was no misbehavior at all.

The report (see/read at this link) has 25 photos and four short videos, but bear with me and read all the way through to the end in order to see the full story. The full incident lasted many minutes and is a little complicated, but can easily be followed photo-by-photo in the report (see/read the full story...)
