Anonymous and Sarah Palin
Now that Anonymous has taken credit for haxxoring Sarah Palin's emails, what do you think the effect is going to be on the Scientology protesting, if any? I realize that it's not necessarily the same group of Anonymice, but I wonder whether the protesters are going to suffer for someone else's sins. It's one thing to engage in peaceful protests, and another to hack the email of a high-profile politician who's enjoying a great deal of popularity right now.

Has anyone in the news business even connected the Anonymous of the Scientology protests to the hacker Anons?

Yes.

Well, at least they've vaguely got a clue. Unfortunately, they don't have enough of one to understand the chaotic nature of Anonymous.

I wonder if it's the same group of Anonymous, personally.

Most likely not. The Sci-protesting Anons have a strong emphasis on legal activities.

Thanks! That was really kind of bugging me.

Of course, that doesn't leave out the hacker Anons who started the whole thing off, and they have clearly demonstrated their l33t hacking skillz.

Of course.

And since the outside world really doesn't understand Anonymous, they're afraid of them, and paint them as Big Scary Hacker Anarchists.

I'm afraid they'll all be tarred with the same brush, especially since the Anons who initially protested Scientology did so with online attacks. No one is going to report on the peaceful protesting and the change in tactics that took place afterwards.

Well, if it gets Anonymous in the news again it'd at least get people's attention.

Of course not. Why would reporters want to talk about peaceful protests? Pfft, that's not interesting or newsworthy.

Most likely, yeah. Any chance of the Scientology Anons being seen as anything other than internet terrorists is pretty much out the window now.

They hacked the wrong one for that. Her ~official state business~ one was gov.sarah, not gov.palin.

OH GOD WHY DO I KNOW THIS?

I think I see a fundamental lack of understanding of what Anonymous is, here.

I kind of hope that the scieno-fighting Anonymous catch on to the nasty shit that goes on with the Dominionist Christians that Palin's part of. Talk about nasty cults trying to take over the US gov't. (And have partially succeeded.)


I get accused of listening to left-wing liberal crap when I mention how nasty Palin's church is around here, in the heart of the Florida Bible belt. But I've been hoping that Anonymous would give some attention to the Dominionists ever since the April protest, when I realized how eerily similar Scientology and the Assembly of God denomination (and all it's daughter-denominations and off-shoots like Focus on the Family and the stuff Hagee preaches) are.

Yes, yes, YES! Scientology is a threat to freedom, but the Dommies make the Scientologists look like punters. Anon could be a big help there.

Oh god, Focus on the Family. One of my relatives signed me up for something related to it when I was in elementary school and my parents STILL get phone calls.

Oprah informs her personal army that Pedobear is not only well organized, but also is raping their children with over 9000 penises.
